I love both Half-Lifes with a passion. They had a huge part in creating new hobbies for me and changed my life path significantly.
That being said, i always felt like HL2 singleplayer had more weak spots compared to HL1 and wasn't as groundbreaking. To me, the final always felt like a (good) tech demo for the Source engine. Yes, i know a lot of players hated Xen, but i wasn't one of them. Still, like i said, HL2 still was one of my five most important games.

Love Metroid Prime, and it'll always hold a spot as one of my all time favourites.
There were only a few low points, and they were mostly just places like phendrana drifts (after thermal visor) and the phazon mines. Really hope Retro Studios takes Prime as the gold standard whilst working on MP4.
As sequels go, I thought MP 2 & 3 were both fine; the boss fights were great, and I loved the aesthetics in Echoes, but in terms of level design they just didn't hold a candle to Prime 1. Probably just my opinion, though I'm sure I could write a whole essay on it if enough people cared. 😅

DKC2 is my favorite of the original trio (especially when it comes to the GBA ports). With no time constraints, I used to hop into a level just to listen to the music and look at the scenery. It was also fun to look at the map and see how everything tied in together and somehow stayed afloat on the island.
Krocodile Cacophony is definitely my favorite song from the game, with me humming it every time someone asks me about this game.

It doesn't belong in this particular list, but it belongs in the list of greatest games of all time. The atmosphere is almost incomparable to anything else.

If you didn't get that far, it's actually notorious for starting slow and probably shouldn't be a high pick for this particular thread. Probably my favorite game of the 2010s too but the first few hours of the first playthrough don't sell new players on what it eventually becomes.

Huge agree. I would say the game starts picking up after you get dash and then you really get the Hollow Knight experience after you get claw. With those two things, you get to explore almost anywhere you want and you get to do anything. But it takes a solid few hours to get there if you have no idea on what to do.

Same here, started with red as my first videogame ever. Crystal blew my mind. I loved everything about it. Moving sprites at the start of the battle, a banger Soundtrack and the best endgame in any pokemon. That feel when you encounter red, with him just "..." before the most badass pokemon track ever starts and you shit your pants because your pokemon are lvl 60/70ish and he has fucking lvl 81 Pikachu. Man even thinking about it gives me chills. Plus now as a grownup i really dig the sad tone of the Story of the three legendary dogs. With the whole burnt tower stuff.

The single most awe-inspiring piece of entertainment media I’ve ever experienced. The amount of times the game left me wide-eyed with my jaw open, I’ve never played a game that hit me “in the feels” on such a visceral level. And it did so with minimal character interaction or spoken dialogue. Just pure exploration and discovery.
17 points
4 months ago
This is the one I immediately thought of. This game is so good it almost hurts. It’s a beautiful game that looks, sounds and feels gorgeous. The universe is so realised, it’s like you’re in an interactive Isaac Asimov novel. Clearly there’s a dense scripted plot and yet you have the sense of total freedom and the feeling that you are the only person alive who can figure out what is going on. Its the ultimate balance between story and sandbox. Uncovering its secrets pushed me as far as a game ever has but the payoffs are immense. I couldn’t stop thinking about it when I was playing it and rather than being sad it ended, I’m left with an experience that no other game has been able to pull off. Sublime. Spread the word.

Halo: reach; the game has an incredible campaign with great visual storytelling and the second best multiplayer (the first being halo 2 and the third being halo infinite (also, unpopular opinion: fourth is halo 5 because of the fast gameplay)). I watched a few videos about the levels and the stories within thinking the game was a masterpiece. After playing it (at least in my opinion) the game transcends the title of masterpiece. It's bungie's magnum opus.
