  • Breath of Fire 4
  • TLOZ Majora’s Mask, TLOZ A Link between Worlds and TOTK
  • Metroid Dead
  • Resident Evil 2 Remake
  • Ragnarok Online
  • Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
  • A bunch others. Like a lot. So many. Like dude, I didnt even put Yoshis Island or Uncharted 4 in my list, like what even was I thinking.

Honestly, these lists get harder and harder every year. I have like 100 games that should reasonably fit my top50.

My 50 greatest games of all time - 2023 edition

I'll link the titles to posts that explain more about the game. The platform contains the platform (or platforms) I played said game on, it may have been released on others. As I can't remember for all which year I played it, the year is the year of release of the game.
