6 - Shadow of the Colossus

This game was my ‘click’ moment for seeing games as something more. Just one character, a horse and 16 colossi to create one of the most unforgettable experiences in gaming.

5- Tibia
One of the first MMORPGs. This game is the reason I became a developer. It was really popular in my hometown and with some friends we ran a modded server which ended up being played some of the city's cyber cafés. Probably my biggest achievement as a dev 🤣

4- Zelda: Ocarina of Time
The one and only. Unrepeatable. Stupidly ahead of its time. Objectively the true GOAT. No discussions allowed here.

3- Black
I don't know if you know/remember Black, but to me this was one one of the most technically mind-blowing experiences of PS2 generation. The moment you fire a RPG to a building and it windows shatter floor by floor still resonates in my memories.

2- Dark Souls III

This was the one that made me fall in love with the saga and it’s the one I recommend to anyone wanting to get into the genre. Beyond its superb combat design, it brings some QoL elements that make it one of the best soulslike experiences you can play.

DLCs are also a must.

1- Mini Metro

One of the best examples of "less is more" applied to game design. Super intuitive and easy to learn, each level has a difficulty curve that grows slowly but never stops doing so. One of my go-to games in mobile.

Feeling like I want to be more active here than in the evil twin. Let's start with this kind of stuff and see where it goes.
