Top 100 Games

Slowly updating this list with mini-reviews. Games labeled "masterpiece" are extremely tightly designed, but aren't necessarily my favorite games ever. Likewise they might not be perfect, but as long as they nearly flawlessly execute what their creators were intending, they are masterpieces in my eyes.

Showing 1-10 of 100 items

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Masterpiece - Breath of the Wild is easily my favorite game of all time. I 100% completed it on Master Mode (yes I'm bragging) and I enjoyed the entire experience. Open world games will never be the same again. As a long-term Zelda fan since I was a kid, I am very satisfied with what Breath of the Wild did for the series and I can only hope that its sequel adequately compares to its predecessor.

Monster Hunter Tri

2. Monster Hunter Tri

Masterpiece - Despite having the least amount of content of any Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Tri is truly a masterclass in atmosphere and doing a lot with a little. Every monster is an event, and the entire experience is magical.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

3. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Masterpiece - The game that made me who I am today. Twilight Princess made my childhood, and so I'm almost certainly giving it way more credit than it's due. I love this game to death and almost nothing will ever change that; it means too much to me personally.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf

4. Animal Crossing: New Leaf

Masterpiece

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

5. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Masterpiece - It's Ocarina of Time, what can I say that hasn't been said?

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

6. Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne

Masterpiece - Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne is truly amazing. Very rarely have I ever played a game and been so thoroughly enthralled during the *entire* experience. Fantastic combat, oppressively isolating atmosphere, it even beats the masters like Super Metroid in atmosphere. Nocturne is a must-play for anyone who loves subversive, weird games that aren't afraid to kick you in the balls.
