These are in no particular order, because my favorite games will change depending on when you ask me. The top 5 can be placed in any particular order.
1. Mega Man 2- This is probably a lot about nostalgia. But, in what will be a common theme, I think a big part of what makes this game great is pacing. There simply isn't a dull moment. Every level is brilliantly designed. It also has the bonus of being short and sweet. I'm just more apt to play this one again because I know it's not going to be a time commitment. I can get a nice burst of greatness and nostalgia without sacrificing a ton of time.
2. Super Mario Galaxy 2- Similar to Mega Man 2 this game is just pure quality all the way through. With some very minor exceptions, every bit of it is fun (at least until you get to the somewhat meh green star collection). There is more originality in one level of the game than most games have in their entirety, and despite the fact that I'm pretty much just running and jumping, I never feel like I'm doing the same thing. There's no part I get to where I'm like "ugh, I don't want to do this part again".
3. Smash Bros. Ultimate- I love fighting games... but I just don't have the time I used to. I'd love to spend hours practicing combos in something like Marvel vs Capcom 3, but it's just not in the cards. With Smash, the game is deep enough that I feel like my wins and losses are primarily a result of skill (or lack thereof), but I can generally whip myself into fighting shape in a few weeks of practice. It strikes the perfect balance between depth and accessibility. The fact that it has an enormous cast featuring most of my favorite characters is a bonus.
