Favorite Games.

I like thinking of games inside their greater context. Collections and bundles help illustrate that. It also avoids redundancy.

Hence their inclusion.

1. METAL GEAR SOLID: THE LEGACY COLLECTION & METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE DEFINITIVE EXPERIENCE
   • I played through this series for the first time in 2020 and it completely changed the way I saw videogames and their potential for storytelling. METAL GEAR SOLID (1998) has the honor of being the first videogame to ever make cry and METAL GEAR SOLID V: THE PHANTOM PAIN's ending really stuck with me.
   • I recommend playing all the games in release order and to treat the whole series as one continuous story. It has the most beautifully consistent writing you can expect out of a franchise that started in the 1980s and lasted all the way into the mid 2010s.
     
2. Hotline Miami Collection
   
   • The game series that inspired me to pursue game development. It forever changed the course of my life.
3. Valve Complete Pack & Half-Life: Alyx
   • The Half-Life and Portal series are immersion masterpieces. I've dedicated so much time to thinking about the universe these games take place in.
   • Half-Life: Alyx is my favorite VR game. Absolutely beautiful.
4. Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy
   • Nothing makes me more nostalgic than booting up Grand Theft Auto III, Vice City, or San Andreas and losing myself in the eras each one uses for their respective setting. Nostalgia aside, they're all great games that have aged incredibly well and offer up so many gameplay scenarios
5. The Stanley Parable & The Beginner's Guide
   • I wish there were more games like The Stanley Parable and The Beginner's guide. Davey Wreden absolutely nails interactive storytelling.
6. Resident Evil 4 & Resident Evil: Village
   • Resident Evil 4 is in my opinion the closest thing there is to a perfect videogame.
   • Resident Evil: Village doesn't do anything mind-blowing, but it takes what worked from 4 and gave it an engaging and compelling narrative
7. The Document of Midnight Animal & The Exegesis of John The Martyr
   • And it never dies. No, it never dies.
   • Midnight Animal is a very important game that holds a great deal of emotional and artistic relevancy to me personally. If Hotline Miami is what inspired me to pursue game development, Midnight Animal was what reassured me and made me want to continue doing it and never give up no matter how tough the road gets.
8. Doom Classic Complete
   • The classic Doom games from the 90s have a more indie and edgy feeling to them than the recent ones that appeal to me more. I have so many fond memories of playing this game as a kid in the school computers...
9. Sonic the Hedgehog: Ultimate Bundle
   • Blue rat goes fast. I've loved Sonic since a young age and it was one the first few characters I recognized as coming from a videogame. Its earliest titles are still a ton of fun to this day and full of detail and surrealist imagery seen through the lenses of beautifully crafted pixel art that turned its own technical limitations into strengths.
10. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
    • It's a fighting game except it's fun. Most of the characters don't appeal to me and the ones that do I don't like the way they're represented. Having said that Smash Bros is one of the games I've probably played the most and have had the most fun with. Its latest installment "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" is what I always wanted a game in the series to be.
