Favourite games

by zorochii

I just want to fill this with games I like. Because why not.

This list is made by gut entirely. A.k.a. hugely subjective. But some things can be expected:

  • If I haven't played them, they're not on this list. I've ommited games I know I like but haven't really experienced enough.
  • I'm trying to base things on what I can remember from my feelings while playing them. Either first time, or overall for those games I've actually played/beaten several times.
  • This includes a lot of games I've not beaten.
  • Hell, this includes games I don't care about beating and play at my own leisure, like Morrowind, that descriptions is not just for show!
  • It's based on enjoyment or just feelings overall. So this includes some kusoge. And bucket loads of nostalgia.
  • More recently played games might have a higher spot. Because they're more present in my mind. Though some I like them so much I've been revisiting them too often, like Live a Live or E.V.O.

This is just a personal retrospective, a take on remembering things. Take whatever you want from it.

Romancing SaGa

1. Romancing SaGa

I really love this game, and you don't care. Only thing that hurts me is how unfinished it feels, like they were out of time, and half the game wasn't there. Lots of loose ends.

Live a Live

2. Live a Live

This game is probably the most unique thing Square has ever done out of its golden days of yore. I'm my own, shitty opinion.

Legend of Mana

3. Legend of Mana

I must say I didn't like the Mana series as much before playing Legend of Mana. There is a lot of interesting mechanics on it, a deep gameplay and stuff. And the lore is very enthralling, I cared about knowing more of the characters and the world. I also love free-exploration games where you can just do your own in a world up to some extent at least. And yeah, art and music, fricking best.

Xenogears

4. Xenogears

Monolith is gold, and I'm sorry for Square. They left a gold mine go.

Super Metroid

5. Super Metroid

I don't have anything to say other than I can just waste days trying dumb stuff without no problem.

E. V. O.: Search for Eden

6. E. V. O.: Search for Eden

I'll pay 300 bucks for this, and I'll not feel bad about it.

Pokémon Black/White

7. Pokémon Black/White

Despite memories from Emerald, this is my favourite Pokémon game. Maybe because it felt kind of hardcore at times. Pokémon WHACK (see boxart funni haha, not my fault), really good, whatever.

Shin Megami Tensei

8. Shin Megami Tensei

I'm just gonna say, this game is rough on the edges and the mechanics have aged poorly, but the lore is great.

Final Fantasy VI

9. Final Fantasy VI

My favourite Final Fantasy game, just like one trillion others. You know this game. I know! Everyone does.

SaGa Frontier 2
