A list of the top 25 games I've played

I was skeptical about adding this one to the list (especially first on the list), because i know there are people who make dark souls their entire personality, and those people kind of weird me out.

I do think it's a really great game though.It takes a pretty deep lore and story, and then refuses to hand it to you as a player, literally makes you work to figure it out.

All the narrative is hidden behind cryptic npc dialogue, item descriptions, and in placements in the game environment that you just kind of have to immerse yourself into the details if you want to figure it out. I enjoyed that.

Shadow of the Colossus does too. It doesn't feed you the story, you have to work to figure it out.

We were literally just talking about you. Everything we just talked about on dark souls applies here too. It's the same, they do the same thing, but in slightly different ways.

I could actually kind of give or take the whole fighting giant monsters thing, it gets old to be honest, but being dumped into a world where you are free to roam around and explore and unravel this twisted web of inaccessible narrative? That's dope.

I liked how this one was the fastest paced of the Smash bros games, I couldn't get enough of that.

A sci-fi horror with a weirdly intelligent AI. What really hyped this game when it came out was how the AI would never make the same decision twice. You could literally load a save and each time the behavior of the AI would be different. I swear.

Also the aliens are damn near impossible to kill so it really gives a great feeling of horror when you hear them wandering in the vents or hear one breathing around a corner.

This is one of those games you can only play once, sadly. You wish you could play again but you can't, because you're done. it's solved. It's an experience you can't repeat. My advice is play it without any spoilers. It's a pretty short puzzle game.

Needless to say it's a little bit old and doesn't hold up as well as it could when it comes to gameplay mechanics, but I'll be damned if it isn't one of the best games ever made.

Everything that came after Fallout 2 took the look of the first Fallout, but left the heart behind, the game has so much detail. I fell in love with how in Fallout 2 you can see how certain places have evolved and grown in the wasteland, and you can see how their buildings have progressed, and where they have grown grass and trees. It isn't stuck in a stasis of POST-APOCALYPSE, the characters are growing and trying to improve themselves. 

Obviously in the den they all live in half-bombed out buildings, but find a place where they are rebuilding their buildings out of clay bricks. Go to broken hills and find a place where they've constructed some new buildings out of adobe and planted trees and tried to move on. 
The new games just take a generic POST-APOCALYPSE-PLAYPEN and toss you into it, like capsules of time where nobody seems to care about rebuilding the world, because the developers are too awestruck by the aesthetics of the setting or something. IDK, I could rant about this for years. Fallout 2 is MAD.
