Recommendations

Everybody has different opinions about video games.  Mine are probably fairly different from yours. Whether you're trying to get a sense of what I like or you're looking for recommendations, this is probably not the best way to go about it. That said, here are some of the games which I consider to be the best of all time.

ABZÛ

Meditative. Relaxing .

Chrono Trigger


Classic. Not too much grinding.

Dishonored


Donut County


Just plain silly.

Guacamelee!


Some of the best humor and great mechanics.

Hollow Knight


Takes Metroidvania games to the next level.

Hyper Light Drifter


Jet Set Radio


"That escalated quickly" the video game.

Mark of the Ninja


Exceptionally solid 2D platformer.

My Friend Pedro


Absolutely wonderful lunacy.

Portal


Physics-based innovations in game mechanics.

Psychonauts


Raises the bar for story-driven gaming.

Rain on Your Parade


Positively delightful.

Slay the Spire


Addictive.

Sleeping Dogs


Almost perfectly balanced and calibrated.

Sniper Elite III


The rarely-addressed African theater of WWII.

Superhot VR



Best VR tech demo.
