There’s a thread for this but it’s been inactive for months. I’ll share my 3x3 in a sec.

Oh man, favourites are impossible for me! My list definitely changes every couple weeks, but currently it might look something like this.
(Shining Force 3 is meant to represent all three scenarios as a whole btw)

Just looked at your list real quick and Stalker is a great one for sure, that would definitely make it onto a 4x4 for me.

I'll share just some of my favorite games. They're so many.

I love these threads because I can discover new for me titles and try them out.

Where? I searched for one and didn't find it. I guess it's up for the staff whether we can have a second one or not.

You can always make a 12x12 with 144 games ?

How's Arcanum? I saw it rank top 3 on RPG Codex's top 70 RPGs but I've read it's janky and buggy as hell. Is it worth trying despite the problems?

Based Resident Evil and Thief btw.

Here are some of mine, in no particular valuation order.

So many good titles. Keep sharing, folks !

I thought adding one more Monster Hunter would be a cop out in my case, but there's definitely room for 4U and Rise in my list LOL

Don't you tempt me, I'm gonna be here all day ?

Arcanum is definitely jank as all hell!
There's a honestly pretty much mandatory fan patch out there ( https://terra-arcanum.com/drog/uap.html#download ), but even that doesn't fix all the issues, as is sadly par for the course with Troika Games.

I absolutely do think it's worth checking out though! Even beyond my personal nostalgia for it.
Mechanically it's interesting in that it's the rare semi-classic cRPG that actually tries to accommodate charisma and non-combat builds, but I think what makes it so appealing is a confluence of all sorts of elements that would take ages to explain - it's got immaculate vibes, is what I'm trying to say. ?

(I think this menu theme does a better job of selling what makes the game so special than I ever could)

SHoC's jankiness it's a massive turnoff for many people, the awful gunplay (which is particularly bad specifically at the beginning due the awfulness of the PMm) and the walls of text aren't for everyone, but if you manage to overlook those issues you'll find a game so unique that, 18 years later, still has no alternative. Not even the sequels reach the greatness of the first game.

Fantastic selection of arcade racing games. If I were to make a bigger list, I would include several older Need For Speed games.

RE6 sticks like a sore thumb. My sister and I played it right after finishing RE5's co-op campaign and couldn't stand how devoid it seemed of the essence of RE. It felt like playing an interactive action movie.

You more or less defined where the industry has been headed for a while now.

 

[RustySK]

Just wanna add that I'm loving these lists, makes me want to check out all sorts of entries!

 

[Taukyrie]

Some of my favorites (i.e. games I love the most and have given me a lot of brainrot).

I showed some restraint by only picking my favorite Kirby game for a bit of variety. (Ignore the fact that three of these are Vanillaware games)

 

[Deleted member 7989]

Didn't want to go too hard on this. These are some of my all time favorites. These games are all stellar. And I kinda wanted to do one with some not so common picks as well because of course I'm crazy about like 90% of the common picks like Resi 4 or stuff as popular as that.

 

[ZengarZombolt]

Just some off the top of my head. Tried to keep it to one per or I'd have a lot of Ace, Resi, Purse Owner and HaaH here

Some really good choices here. Mafia, Manhunt, Saints Row 2... Absolute gems.

I also liked Retro City Rampage DX but I've never managed to pass the Death Cam VHS part, it's truly unfortunate considering how close I am to the ending.

 

[ohh eight]

no real order but the top 3 are some of my all timers

 

[DunkeyKong]

It's a bit confusing for me to use this one, so I made one with another app
For now I chose the handheld library because I even played some of those handheld ports more than on the main console…maybe I just love handhelds that much

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

Theres so much games i could throw in but these are the games or at least the series i always keep coming back. Excluding pokemon, since i dont play past Gen V. Honorable mention would likely be SimCity 4.

Portable Third enjoyer, massive props. It was my first MH game, and one of my favorites.

Aye! Another enjoyer!

This was incredibly fun to make. The thought of playing any of these again gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. Yes, even Pajama Sam. RIP humongous entertainment
