Now what video games do you basically AND practically hold in such high esteem/regard and admire/enjoy so very much as well as hold fond, special memories and even hold a special place in your heart for you?
For these games they more or less as well as in one way or another have currently done these things to me:
Killer Instinct
Dead Space
Darksiders
Mortal Kombat
Bayonetta
Mega Man X
Heavenly Sword
Virtua Fighter
Tekken
House of the Dead
Doom
Little Nightmares
Time Crisis
Super Mario Bros.
Bulletstorm
Soul Calibur
Now the one game that currently did ALL OF THE ABOVE for me is none other than Ori and the Blind Forest. In fact AND not only that, I have even recommended this game to a few other gamers awhile back
Snow Bros
Primal Rage
Golden Axe 3
Adventure Island 3
Adventure Island 2
Killer Instinct 1
I don’t get bored of them and playing them through the years.
Closest thing I’ve experienced and was extremely passionate was Gears of Wars 3. Made Lota of friends with it.
There are other incredible games, but though I really like/enjoyed them, aren’t in the same tier (meaning the replayability is cool but not arcade)
Jak and Daxter series
Megaman X/Zero series
Devil May Cry series + DmC
Mortal Kombat series (since reboot)
Street Fighter Alpha series (SFA3 being my fave SF game of all time)
Killer Instinct series + reboot
Legend of Zelda series
Soul Calibur series
Primal
Dragon Age series.
Probably a whole lot more, but these are the ones I can think of atm. ^^
No particular order

Ninja Gaiden Black
Dead or Alive 3
Yie Are Kung-fu ( first arcade game I played)
