Interesting thread. For example i think breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are 2 of the best games ever made but theres no way i could ever replay them. but as far as those great games that i can pop in ever so often and play when ever......
Shenmue 1
Final Fantasy 7 through 10
the first Halo
The first metal gear solid
XIII
Sonic Generations and Sonic colors
Any yakuza game
Thats about it. I wonder if the games people can always revisit are the hard hitting games from their child hood. If i Played Shenmue 1 for the first time now id probably be like. hm! cool game! then never think about it again.
 
I think as this has been asked now versus when it was asked say... a decade ago... we're a bit luckier as we now have compilations of some of the best games released. It's a bit of a cheat but it still holds up as one solid game now. My top picks:

Uncharted Collection (PS4)
iu

Cheating a bit and adding the 4th game. Uncharted is my favorite series and the collection would give me access to most of the games in one go. Still hoping to see a continuation to the series, but I'm not holding my breath after the latest Playstation showcase.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition (PS4)
iu

After replaying the trilogy in the Legendary Edition, the series earned it's spot as my second favorite of all time. Really looking forward to the continuation as it supposedly brings back familiar faces. I'd have added Andromeda on here as well. It gets far too much flak and is still a good game.

Witcher 3 (PS5)
iu

Probably one of the best games of the PS4 gen, Witcher 3 is the only one I've played in the series and it's incredible. It'd be easy to spend hundreds of hours roaming the countryside, and I believe I've already done that having beaten the game twice now.

Zelda Tears of the Kingdom (Switch)
iu

While I'm only maybe half into the game, Nintendo seems to have addressed many of the problems I had with Breath of the Wild. The only ones they didn't fix was that weapons and shields are still breakable. I figured that was coming which is why I worked to get the Master Sword so quickly in the game. Not sure if it'll make it yet, but it's coming close to matching Twilight Princess as my favorite in the series. I gave this one the spot as it's a bit more expansive and the building functionality would keep me busy a bit longer.

I think four screenshots with blurbs are enough or I'll be here forever. I'll list out the remaining ones.

Ninja Turtles Cowabunga Collection (PS4)
Shenmue series (PS4 -- cheated a bit adding the third)
Resident Evil Remake (PS4)
Tomb Raider [2013] (PS4)
Jurassic Park (Genesis) <-- hoping this makes it onto the 30th anniversary collection coming this year.
Dino Crisis 2 (PS1)

The list may fluctuate from time to time but that's where it stands as of now.

Ico... What a game that was... Revolutionary era with team Ico.
 
Agreed. Probably one of my favorite games on the system. Why the hell hasn't Sony done a remake of that one? Why only Shadow of the Colossus?
Ikr? It's weird. They should have done what Sega did with Shenmue 1-2. Put both in the same game for the PS4.

A remake for that game should happen.
 
Shenmue 1-2
GTA Online
GTA San Andreas
Die Hard Trilogy
Mario Kart 64
Doom (1993)
Virtua Cop 1-2
Time Crisis
Fifa 95
Streets of Rage

The first video game I played and one I've played the most.

9. Formula 1 World Championship: Beyond the Limit (SCD)
1687207606570.png

The F1 game for die-hards of the sport, I can constantly relive the 1993 season, you better believe it!

8. Tommy Lasorda Baseball (GEN):
1687207294491.png


Probably my favourite baseball game ever. Will never get tired of it.

7. Super Hang On (GEN)
1687207109131.png

ARC works as well, but I haven't played in an arcade in almost 3 decades, so I'll stick to the Genesis version. Love it to death.

6. Tokyo Xtreme Racer II (DC):
1687207012473.png

My favourite racing game ever, just recently (last year, lol) beat the game without losing a single race.

5. Honoo no Doukyuji: Dodge Danpei (GEN):
1687206875988.png

I still play this every so often, just for a quick hit or two. Some of the most fun you can have on your Genesis.
4. Yakuza 3 (PS3):
1687206373630.png

My favourite Yakuza/RGG title, I can beat it over and over :D

3. Shenmue II (DC):
1687206250700.png

Nothing needs to be said :)
2. Final Fight CD (SCD):
1687206108339.png

My favourite console game ever, am up to 219 times beating it: why not try for more? ;)
1. Total Annilhiaton (PC):

1687205990197.png

My favourite game ever, I can play this to the end of time.
