Edit 1: Ill maybe edit later to accomodate this list in a better format. Couldnt pass the chance to mention these games.
Edit 2: I never did what I said in edit 1, in fact I've been adding more games to the list of HMs because life is meaningless, there is no god, love is a social construct, we're all gonna die and nothing we do matters!
