The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Childlike wonder oozes from this game. The first time discovering something in BOTW, I just wanted to tell everyone. I was so excited about it. I wish I had played this game when it first released, I can imagine the conversations and posts about it. The atmosphere is perfect, the combat is still zelda, but more refined and fun. Physics are fun e. You'd think the open world would feel empty, but there are tiny cool things shoved in all around that keeps you guessing what'll be around the next corner. Originally I thought Odyssey and this game were equal, and this game was lower on my list, however when I revisited it I was reminded of my experience, and how special this game really is to me. 10/10.

Assassin's Creed II

2. Assassin's Creed II

One of my favorite stories in videogames. I love how Ezio develops as a character throughout, and his speech at the end was the cherry on top. Improved upon the gameplay a lot.

Animal Crossing

3. Animal Crossing

Best Animal Crossing. I really loved this game, and still do. I own it, and want to play it again but my brother took it and the gamecube with him when he went away to college despite the fact that he will never play it. Villagers had more personality than later titles, and the music adds a lot to the atmosphere here. I miss the cow horns.

Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

4. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle

Chao Garden Simulator.

Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire

5. Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire

Uh, idk why I like this more than emerald. Partly to due with my fascination with Kyogre, and bias since its the first one I played. I have way too many fond memories with my time playing this game. Most of my fond memories I have of a really good childhood friend, who sadly passed away, are tied to this game. I wish I had kept in contact with him after I stopped playing Guild Wars. May you rest in peace Warrick.

Pokémon Emerald

Bloodborne

7. Bloodborne

Only soulsborne Ive properly played so far. Some of the most interesting and unique storytelling I've ever experienced. Gameplay is top notch. One might even say "anime af".

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

8. Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age

Originally I saw a trailer for this at E3. I had always wanted to try out a game from the Dragon Quest franchise, and decided this would be my first one. Was expecting to enjoy it but not love it as much as I did. Made me tear up a few times. Fun/silly combat. Some of the music got old but the mod to add the orchestrated versions fixes a lot of that.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

9. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Epic.

Pokémon Colosseum

10. Pokémon Colosseum
