Takes about 30-60 minutes before it clicks, but when it does. Whoo, baby. Loved this one. One of my favs this year. Easily put in 60 hours within a month.

So funny no matter how many times I've seen it
My all time favorite jam album.
Voice acting, huge world, a type of action-rpg(?) adventure that truly sucked me in and spanned across multiple planets. Core memory of my gaming childhood

This was my induction to Studio Ghibli and the one that left the biggest mark. An epic journey

I loved this game as a kid while simultaneously being scared to play it alone. The remake is superb and brings the game back with a vengeance. One of the few games that I enjoyed so much I started a new run back to back after finishing.

Sam Rockwell's performance carries this film. A surprisingly existential sci-fi story.

My favorite of the entire franchise, hands-downs. The sheer size of the map made this so epic for me.

Some excellent horror/sci-fi moments in this one
Parents got it for me from abroad. Scared the HELL out of me, super gore-y for the time, huge scary monsters, felt so helpless.

Went over my head when I played it when it first came out. Thought it was just another boring shooter. Only in high school my friend peer pressured me into playing again and I played it through and experienced what a groundbreaking adventure it truly is
I remember first watching this in theater in Eilat when it came out. Must have been 11? Epic movie. Only on later watch did I realize how subversive it truly is.

The book that got me into reading. Forced to do a book report for English class, I picked this one randomly from the school library. Boy was I in for a wild ride.

My favorite of FromSoftware. Once you learn the "one true way" (parrying) this game becomes an exercise in zen and precision.

Peak teen angst. Defined my emo stage in life.

Saw the poster for this at my favorite video game store as a kid. I remember asking the owner when it's coming out. He was kind enough to offer to deliver it the day it ships, and I gave him my address (I was 9). He was good on his word and a few weeks later he drove up himself to hand deliver it. Only I had forgotten to tell my mom or ask her if it was okay that I basically "bought" a game with money I didn't have. She had a stranger knock her door asking her to pay for a video game.

My first adventure game. Blew my mind. Used to play with my cousin and my dad, who would translate for us since we didn't know english. Still chasing that high.

A hidden gem. Got so many cool sci-fi concepts, while also being super campy and fun. Always a comfort watch.
Probably my favorite of Christopher Nolan's works, this is one I can always come back to and notice yet another new detail I missed. LOVE it.
Who knew you could do so much with such simple controls? I played this game more than I care to admit.

If Hollow Knight and Sekiro had a baby and raised it right. Thoroughly scratched that parrying itch I had since Sekiro.

Saw it in theaters with my dad. Could barely follow the plot but something about it just felt good. Watched it about a million times since.

The turning point where I first experienced a game taking me on experience that far exceeded any movie or show. A monumental achievement and a story that stayed with me since.
