Thanks. Also now realizing that picking just 10 is super hard and looking back at my list there’s like 2 strong honorable mentions for every title in my list (some might even be swappable).

Just off the top of my head, a few others I’d rate as A-tier or S-tier all-time-greats in my personal list:

• Disco Elysium
• Final Fantasy 7
• Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
• Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
• Hades
• Dishonored
• Banjo Kazooie
• Doom (2016)
• Dead Space
• Psychonauts 2 (part 1 is also A-tier)
• GTA 5
• Case of the Golden Idol
• Mass Effect 2
• Paradise Killer
• Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney
• The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (both parts are excellent)
• Shadow of the Colossus
• Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2
• Tony Hawk’s Underground
• A Dark Room
• 999 (aka Zero Escape, aka 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors)
• edit: How the hell did I forget Portal?!

Subjectively I’d say definitely yes. I adore cerebral games with interesting stories to tell, and this one has that plus a ton of mystery at its core (mystery is maybe my favorite genre of any fiction). The art style can be a little hard for some to get behind, but if you enjoy similar themes & game elements it’s a phenomenal game that will live in your head rent-free for awhile after you’ve finished. It’s one of only maybe three games I’ve ever legitimately referred to as a masterpiece (one of the others being Outer Wilds).

Not in order:

• Outer Wilds
• Return of the Obra Dinn
• Metal Gear Solid
• Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• Super Metroid
• Red Dead Redemption 2
• Fallout: New Vegas
• Stardew Valley
• Undertale
• Starcraft

10 that I have enjoyed a lot:

• Kyle Kinane
• Hannibal Buress
• Patton Oswalt
• Mike Birbiglia
• Tig Notaro
• Matt Braunger
• Marc Maron
• Bo Burnham
• Jackie Kashian
• Tim Robinson
• Norm Macdonald
