The lack of love in this thread for Majora’s Mask is massively disappointing
Only 4 votes for Dark Souls, eh? Sounds like this forum needs to git gud, stat.
Ocarina of Time: the b-sides
Donkey Kong Country Super Mario World Pokemon Red/Blue Majora’s Mask Ocarina of Time
Don’t worry, votes count double compared to vites
Can’t believe people like breath of the wild that much
Its like, as good as far cry primal or literally any other modern open world game
Always a very casual gamer, but…
Resident Evil 4 - GameCube Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition - Arcade Mario Kart DS - Nintendo DS The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker - GameCube Renegade - ZX Spectrum
My second fave after ALTTP. Nintendo doing Dark Zelda is a weird and eerie experience and I liked it a lot.
Ico (PS2) The most mornfully atmospheric game ever made. Just the sound of the wind and the occaional little strangulated cry. Played it again on PS4 a couple of years ago and it still really holds up.
Vice City (PS2) Probably wouldn’t enjoy this so much today but at the time it absolutely blew my mind. Freedom to roam without being stupefyingly big and small enough that they could really curate everything about the environment. Especially loved the mission where you have to drive the Scottish metal band around.
WipeOut 2097/ Tony Hawk 2 (PS1) A bit of a cheat but hey ho. I never owned the original Playstation (in fact, I went from the Acorn Electron straight to PS2) but I’ve still played these games more than almost any others. Endless days and nights of passing round a controller with some pals until we had finally completed everything.
Bloodborne(PS4) Got really pissed off with this the first time I tried and gave up on it for a few months. Watched a short tutorial and went back refreshed. Can see an argument for Dark Souls being better because of the variety of approaches but for the creepiness of the setting, the perfect balance of the combat and the feeling of absolute joy when you finally take down one of those huge bastards this can’t be beat.
Bubbling under: Okami, Super Meat Boy, Tekken Tag, Ikaruga, X-Wing, Repton, Arkham Asylum, Minesweeper
Recount! I started typing long before that appeared.

Did you include Championship Manager in the same tally? As they’re the same series
Probably end up 1st if u didnt
Its not like other modern open world games because your minimap isn’t littered with icons. Its a game about exploration, organic story-telling and experimentation. It is not a game with a checklist of activities with very specific win conditions.
Think this is a really good assessment, as much as I love BOTW sometimes you’ll be up a hill and it’ll just be a hill, you know, padding between a shrine and some other object of interest, Vice City felt like a real place but was still packed with stuff.
Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks (played the former, it was ace) on the DS. Tappy touch controls, as was the style at the time
Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages? Link’s Awakening pt.2 basically, absolute boss
It’s in my 3DS pile for after I beat this fucking boss in Hana Samurai
Phantom Hourglass was great. Spirit Tracks: got sick to death of the train travel and gave up near the end as a result.
