Which game franchise should I give a try first?I've always enjoyed trying out games from various genres. There are many other things to consider; what would be a good franchise for me to start playing and test out to see if I like it?

you SHOULD check out Ys 1 and 2 for the fact you have no attack "button" and have to run into enemies to attack, imagine zelda if you had no attack button basically, it's a unique experience.
ys chronicles plus is porb the best way to play 1 and 2
every Ys 5 and after have an attack button though

Ys 8 is one of my all time favorite games, HIGHLY recommend that one, even if you don't play any other Ys game, play THAT one, it will be one of the best (if not THE best) game you've ever played.

i don't even really like ys 9 or 10 (good games but nowhere as good as 8)
it's an entirely different game from Ys 1-6 (which were all just Adol the main guy alone)
7 onwards had a party system and way different combat because of it
here's a random video i did on ps4, lots of dinosaurs...

Monster Hunter is always a great franchise. Highly recommended you start from newest to oldest as a newcomer. If your PC able or have PS5, start with Wilds, otherwise World/Rise first, then making your way down to Generation Ultimate (Gen 4), 3 Ultimate (Gen 3), Freedom Unite (Gen 2), and the OG English Patched (MH1G; Gen 1).

Another great franchise is Armored Core and Ace Combat. Similarly, you start at the newest, then followed with "GOAT" by the community, then sweep the rest.

My recommendation line for Armored Core:
Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon > Armored Core: for Answer > Armored Core: Verdict Day > AC4 > ACV (can be skipped) > PS1 Trilogy (Gen 1) > 2 and 2 Another Age (Gen 2) > 3, Silent Line, Nexus, Last Raven > Formula Front International > Nine-Breaker > Armored Core Mobile (if you feel freaky and can find it lol) > (Skip all the PSP port that isn't FFI)

My recommendation line for Ace Combat:
Ace Combat 7 > Ace Combat 6 (if you have X360; otherwise skip for now) > Ace Combat Zero > Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere > then sweep the rest in order of release

Play Alone In The Dark and Burnout, too.

Thanks for the tip, I'm planning on playing games from different consoles that marked my adolescence.

 

[Nebra]

I'm thinking the Trails series, plus there's part 2 at the end of the year.

 

[PhrawzT]

Castlevania, start with Symphony of the Night, or any of the Game Boy Advance games.

That's a very solid recommendation — and the fan-made GBA 'ports' enhance it further.

 

[sneakyguts]

Wild Arms Series

 

[MDGeistsfavMC5song]

my knee jerk is Ys... start with (depending on your preference) the Ys Book 1 and 2 remake on psp, or just for goodness, Ys Ark of Napishtem, or Ys Origins.. than go from there..

 

[Blamhammer]

The Ace Attorney games are well worth a play, there's so much going on in every single gosh darn game.

And then there's Zelda which is a safe bet but I guess you've already dipped into that set of games. If not go straight to the N64 and GameCube stuff, ya can't go wrong with them.

Regarding Ys, the lastest one (Ys X) is the third game in the timeline...I think? You can jump straight into that one without needing to know much about the others.

I just downloaded an Ace Attorney translation in my language. Thank you for the recommendation.

Você DEVERIA conferir Ys 1 e 2 pelo fato de não haver um "botão" de ataque e você ter que correr em direção aos inimigos para atacar. Imagine Zelda sem um botão de ataque, basicamente. É uma experiência única.
Ys Chronicles Plus é provavelmente a melhor maneira de jogar os jogos 1 e 2.
Todos os jogos da série Ys 5 e posteriores têm um botão de ataque.

Ys VIII é um dos meus jogos favoritos de todos os tempos, recomendo MUITO , mesmo que você não jogue nenhum outro jogo da série Ys, jogue ESSE, será um dos melhores (se não O melhor) jogos que você já jogou.

Eu nem gosto muito de Ys 9 ou 10 (bons jogos, mas nem de longe tão bons quanto o 8).
É um jogo completamente diferente de Ys 1-6 (que eram todos focados apenas em Adol, o protagonista).
A partir do 7, o jogo passou a ter um sistema de grupos e um sistema de combate muito diferente por causa disso.
Aqui está um vídeo aleatório que fiz no PS4, com muitos dinossauros...

Thank you for the recommendation.
