yall got some good taste s/o to yall

Its gonna be a little biased but here it goes (did one game per series cause i didnt want my list to be only mario and zelda ):

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
The game where i realized games were my passion and where i realized the medium was an art form, so much fun playing the incredibly creative, well thought and always fresh mechanics, gameplay wise one of the best Mario games and in general a contender for best game of all time. That ost is crazy too. Could've put 1 but i played 2 first so im more connected to this one.

2. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
It was hard to decide between this and oot, oot was my first zelda game and its regarded as the goat game so it would've made more sense but this game was and still is something i can't believe we have gotten. The most engaging open world ive ever played, you can interact with almost everything the world has to offer (which many open world games still cant achieve) and no other open world made me feel as free as botw's world does. The ambient music, the amazing and awe inducing secrets hyrule is filled with, ive played this game for 340 hours and i still feel i havent seen everything, from locations to new mechanics. Game made me feel like a curious kid who just picked up a controller for the first time again and the memories ive made with this game will be forever dear to me.

3. Super Metroid
A classic that influenced and started a whole genre, this game is almost perfect in everything. The overworld is iconic, the gameplay is something that is still being replicated and it hasnt been matched yet, its the peak of the genre and it was the first true metroidvania. The backtracking is fun and finding powerups is satisfying as f***. The ost is amazing and fits the tone of the game very well. One thing i also loved is the game is hard but not in an unfair way. If you're able to master samus's moveset you can destroy almost everything and you feel like a god. Amazing game in an unfortunately still niche series

4. Chrono trigger
My favorite jrpg ever, a classic in all fronts. Toriyama's character design is awesome as usual, the ost is one of the best in any videogame, the story is the best in any jrpg ive played, the gameplay is sorta the same old jrpg turn based combat but i love this genre so i fw it. The time shift mechanic and the changes this mechanic brings to the world were always my favorite part of the game, and it also has great importance in the overall story which is by far its best quality. Cant spoil anything so ill end it here.

5. Shin Megami Tensei IV
First game ive played of this massively underrated series and the game that made me fall in love with it, smt iv is the best smt game ive played so far and while its not perfect, i still love it. The press turn system still is the best jrpg battle system oat, s*** is so addicting. The demons are almost all cool af except a handful of demons that are just not it (looking at you lucifer). Still i loved how every demon had its personality and negotiating to get them to join my team was as addicting and difficult as the battles themselves. I felt like i was playing old school pokemon but if i only had to catch legendaries. The ost is o***** enducing and the cyperpunk apocalyptic scenario still is cool af but thats a given with smt game. The story like with most jrpgs was the best part tho, the alignment system works the best in this game because while in other titles you chose your faction based only on your personal beliefs, this time there are real characters with real personalities you have to side with so the choice not only is harder but feels even more impactful. Overall amazing game, although it has its flaws that the sequel fixed (although the sequel is worse in other aspects) so i hope smt V can replace IV taking the #5 spot.
