This game dominated my teenage years. It has awesome replayability and great music!
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back
The only way I could afford this game growing up was by buying it with my friend. We would take turns progressing the story.
Pokémon Yellow
I purchased this game purely based on the beauty of the post apocalyptic world. But then discovered its gameplay is quite friendly, especially if you are new to the series, and doesn't assume you know the mechanics from previous games
Far Cry New Dawn
I haven't played this as much as I would like but love being able to play as a cat and do cat things. The problem solving puzzles so far have been pretty good
Stray
I love the first open world Pokémon game. This game is the closest I've ever come to finishing a Pokédex.
