The S.T.A.L.K.E.R series & Metal Gear Solid 1

tales of phantasia.

the op intro song is very memorable

Mother 3. I really don't know what else to say, this series impacted me so much in my youth and I wish I got to experience it raw.

I'm gonna say Skies of Arcadia, just love that game, and it saddens me to this day that Sega have abandoned it.

The end of the game blew my mind out of the water in a way no other twist has ever quite captured. It might have been the mental space I was in at the time too. Whatever the case, I will always remember the first time I played it.

I also wish I had played the first Golden Sun before the second, so if I could put a duology and that caveat in there? Definitely those two.

This is Zelda 2 right? Where the princess is in a coma in the bed from the very beginning? First side scrolling Zelda?

I seem to remember some guy named Ragu, and I always thought about the spaghetti sauce.

Somehow I never played this again after emulators.

I did Kid Icarus on an emulator. Loved that game.

For pure amount of enjoyable play hours: Skyrim, hands down.

For emotional/philosophical impact: Either Journey or SOMA. Both had a big impact mentally for me.

The Journeyman Project 3 - A legacy of time. I got it as a gift when I was a kid it was only in English and I didn’t speak the language yet. That game was my tally on my language learning skills. I also have a love for point n click games (Myst, Atlantis, Amerzona, Versailles and all of Cryo games)
