This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Fallout I,II
This is by no means an all inclusive list. These are just games that I personally played that fit the criteria.
If only I could play subnautica for the first time again. Such an incredible atmosphere. Another one of my favorites is Hollow Knight.
A lot of good suggestions but my first thought was Final Fantasy X.
Doom. The game that solidified a gaming genre and has become a benchmark for computers. 'Can you play doom on it?'
Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?
I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.
I beat breath of the wild solely because I was holding out hope that it somehow got good at some point.
The dungeons and boss fights were enjoyable. But there were only 4 of those and the rest of the game was sorely underwhelming.
Tears of the kingdom is the first Zelda game I didn't care to finish in 30 years. I've even beat Zelda 2.
Witcher 3 is pretty good
Ocarina of Time
Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Capcom vs SNK2 Soul Calibur 2 Super Mario Bros 3
These games all stand tall as giants of excellence decades after their release. Teams have already decent renowned executing at the peak of their genre with true craftsmanship and deep care into their design from mechanics to aesthetics to music to gameplay.
