A classic. Everyone and their mother won't shut up about this game so I'll try to keep it simple. It may be a cryptic game, and without Nintendo Power or the mini-guide the manual gave you or what have you it wouldn't be as accessible, but something about it just feels entrancing. There's just something about having a world where you can get lost in and explore its secrets. No other Zelda game would really replicate this until Breath of the Wild, which is sad.

Pokémon makes its entry into the world. A very jank game, far outclassed by its sequels. AI and movepools are rudimentary, and Psychic is completely broken in terms of strength, making going back to this game a challenge for a lot. However, I still feel nostalgia for its simple graphics and gameplay. I prefer GSC/HGSS the most, but I replay Gen 1 the most. An easy beginner's RPG that anyone can pick up and play. Make sure to connect to a friend to get all the mons!

A sadly very compromised game. Quite a bit of content (seven stories, magic quests, a few optional dungeons), but a lot of it didn't make it through the cutting room floor. What is there is good however, for people willing to surpass the obtuseness of the game, that is. It is not a casual-friendly game, and I guess that can be its strength. It provides a mysterious, surprise box sort of feel to the game. You never know when you'll be glimmering a new technique. Maps are confusing!

Square's entry into more cinematic narratives and possibly the precursor to Triple A game development. Midgar is very striking but it drags on for a bit for what's basically a five hour tutorial like Twilight Town. The rest of the game is more subdued, as it's basically a chase mission, but it tackles far darker themes than most of the previous FFs. For that, it's rather impressive.
