Dragon Quest IV NES
Best RPG on the system, imo. The 5 Chapter arc had never been done up to that. I like the more grim translation than the more cheery translation of the remakes. It was clear Ultima Quest for the Avatar was an inspiration. Great representation of Akira Toryamas art. Huge cartridge. Still holds up nicely. Torneko Taloon became something of a mascot off the strength of this game.
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Badly balanced. But who cares. 52 characters. Creating a dream team of 3. Fighting over 3d backgrounds over smooth jazz. Eye watering combos. This game was lightning in a bottle and you can argue it was Capcom's last GOAT level fighting game.
Legend of Zelda OOT
Masterful adventure. Masterful story. Just masterful in it's execution. I still hum the forest theme or the time song all the time. Just a classic.
Super Mario 3
This might have been the Thriller of video games back in 1989. Commercials, magazines, a movie. Insane. I remember saving up and pre ordering it off a catalog at a local computer shop. I remember the hours me and my cousins put into that game. This game had the perfect difficulty balance and genius level design.
Final Fantasy VI
Best Final Fantasy game imo. Great chracters. Amazing epic story and the GOAT villian in Kefka Palazzo.

Nier Automata - Almost the perfect game. Good story, good characters, good voice acting, combat flows like water, goat ost(synching a whole boss fight with the ost
), you got elements from other genres from bullet hell, side scrolling platforming, birds eye gameplay to a retro minigame when you hack oh my goodness 
Uncharted 4: That game is a movie. Denzel, Tom, Sylvester, Arnold, Chuck, Mads, Vin, whoever the fukk could never
MGS3: I cant say one bad thing about this game
MGS4: Perfect end to a series and it gave us the goat multiplayer game

1. Final Fantasy VII (OG + Intergrade/Intermission)
Story, characters, visuals, audio, all perfect. I could play both the OG and remake again and again and be fine. Counting it as one experience.
2. Shenmue II
3. Star Wars: KotoR
4. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
5. Mass Effect 2
Honourable mentions: RE2 (+Remake), FFVIII, Spiderman (+Miles Morales), NIER: AUTOMATA, Persona 5.

Damn, only top 5?. Too many games I love so I can't top 5 so sorry I can't do it.
It's impossible
It's impossible
TLOU2 - Pretty much ruined gaming for me. I ain't played shyt since.
Metal Gear Solid - Just a crazy ass game, even by today's standards. WTF was Kojima on
Smackdown HCTP - I spent most of my gaming hours with this. 7 years. Sohh many CAWS. Fell asleep with the controller in my hand once. I'll beat anyone.
Baldur's Gate II - Big ass game. Never cared about characters as much as I do in this game. Mainly because I know they'll leave my ass in a heartbeat if I fukk up. Love how you can kill anyone at anytime.
Dragon Age: Origins - Baldur's Gate with less freedom
Buffy - I admit that if it weren't for the tv show I wouldn't give a single shyt about this game. But I remember seeing the commercial for the first time, staking a vamp, fighting The Master, Spike and Angel, seeing all the other characters, being in the Library, school gym, the Bronze.... I want another game SO BAD.
Yeah that's six but Gohan killed 8 Cell Jrs and no one complained so deal wit it

Final Fantasy 6: I started with 7, then went back and played this and 4. To me this is the GOAT of the series; excellent storytelling, characters that I cared about and were all unique, outstanding soundtrack, a hateable villain with NO redeeming qualities who actually WINS. It needs to be the next one that Square remakes. Fond memories of this game.
Chrono Trigger: Kinda the same reasons as FFVI, without the grind and spike in difficulty. Square was firing on all cylinders with this one, the combat system is still one of the best, and the game made minor decisions matter in a time where developers didn't have the foresight to program things like that in a game. I'll never forget when the main character dies, the lead up to the Magus fight, and small but significant moments like leaving Robo in medieval times to revive a garden, and using the time machine to instantly warp forward in time, just to realize he's been waiting 1,000 years to see us again...
Uncharted 2: This game solidified Video Games as an art form to me. Top notch acting, Epic set pieces (the train sequence), great story telling. This is a game that I use to get people to at least entertain the thought of playing a video game. It just grabs you and takes you one a hell of a ride.
Resident Evil 4: This is how you reboot a series! I was over RE just like everyone was until this came along. It evolved and revolutionized the behind the back shooter genre, made Leon an action hero, and has some memorable moments. There were several times that I thought this game would end, and it didn't. And I was grateful for that every time until the credits rolled.
Destiny 2: I've legit lost track of the amount of hours i've put into this game. I wasn't too fond of FPS games until this one. It blends elements of FPSes, MMOs, RPGs & platformers. Does it stick the landing on all of them? No, but it does them all well enough to sink it's claws into me and millions of others for over 7 years and counting. And it seems like the storytelling and lore is getting better as time passes. When Destiny dropped, the producers said that your characters would live in an story arc that lasted 10 years and would become legendary. I was rolling my eyes back then, but they're 3 years away from proving a LOT of people wrong.
