Top 8 in order
============
1. Persona 4 Golden - Not only is this game my favorite of the decade, but it is my favorite game of all time. I became a huge fan of the series after playing this game. The relationship you build with the characters in the game really made me really reconsider the relationship in my real life and trying to get know people better. The soundtrack is one of my favorite soundtrack ever, still listen to till this day. The main theme of truth and finding your true self really resonated with me greatly. It also really hit me with each character from the main cast struggling with their own internal demons and having to face those side of yourself that you don't want to acknowledge head on. Gameplay was significantly improve from Persona 3, especially the dungeon crawling aspect of it (Fuck Tartarus!). Trying to balance the time of dungeon crawling to level up your party and spending time with your social link is what make the formula of Persona so engaging. Saying goodbye to this game was really hard when I first completed it years ago, but that journey was so worth it in the end. It will forever be a game that has special place in my heart. Live your truth.
Favorite OSTs: Heaven, I'll Face Myself, The Almighty
2. Persona 5 - One of my most anticipated hype game of this decade. When I finally got to play for the first time back in April 2017, I didn't let it go. The game has of one the most stylish UI in any game till this day. The turn-based combat was fine tuned to the max, making battle quick and efficient, but still being pretty challenging enough if you do any mistakes. The art style is phenomenal, the main cast of characters are all amazing, each with their unique quirks and style that make them memorable. The dungeon are no longer random generating floors, but are fully fledge dungeon with their unique themes and puzzles. The OST is just as phenomenal as it's predecessor, being one of the best OST ever, bringing this jazzy atmosphere to the mix. The final boss battle is still very memorable me till this day, especially when that finale music starts playing. This is my favorite PS4 game of all time. I can't wait what comes next in this series!
Favorite OSTs: Blooming Villain, Rivers in the Desert, Our Beginning
3. Witcher 3 - What a wonderful and brutal world, full of stellar and interesting cast of characters! At first, I thought I wasn't going to like this game that much when I first started it since the combat didn't look good to me, but I was so wrong and this game became my obsession for a few months. One of the few games that your choices actually have some effect on main narrative, some even deciding the fate of certain characters. Geralt of Rivera is a fantastic protagonist, with a witty charm and sarcastic attitude to really make him stand among the cast. Also, Gwent is the best mini game ever made (Mostly play the game to do Gwent quest lol). A true phenomenal game that every other Western RPG will be inspire to replicate.
Favorite OSTs: Hunt or Be Hunted, The Fields of Ard Skellig, Steel for Humans
4. NieR: Automata - A artistic wonderful game that will bring you down into tears from the optimistic existential crisis you will experience. But no, seriously, it will make you cry by the end (if you still have a soul). It's definitely a game that really shows the biggest strength that video games could do as story telling medium, and for the most part, could only be done well in video games. The gameplay is really fun and versatile compared to the original game, since this game was developed by Platinum Games, who really know how to make engaging fun combat. The character are fantastic and you really care about what happens to them in the end. The music is probably the most beautiful music ever created in existence, pure eargasm. This is video game is the pinnacle of classic tragedy story.
Favorite OSTs: Song of the Ancients - Atonement, Grandma Destruction, The Weight of the World (ENG Ver.)
5. Super Smash Bros Ultimate - The ultimate fighting game ever created! Super Smash Bros Ultimate is a love letter to video games. It brings so many different characters from so many different franchises and let them duke it out in the ring to see who is the best. From Mario, to Pokemon, to Zelda, to Fire Emblem, even including franchises outside of Nintendo such as Sonic, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy, Persona, etc. (even including recently Minecraft!). I have been a huge fan of the series since the original on N64, basically buying Nintendo consoles just to play these games. Seeing how far this franchise has come from it's small beginnings gets me teary eyes. The gameplay has really been refined that I consider it the best in the series. With almost 80 characters to choose from (plus some more in the future), you will find several characters that you will to play as. I have so many memories with this series, play and fighting my friends, and this is the best game in the series now. It's a series that I will always love.
Favorite OSTs: I'll Face Myself (Smash Ver.), Battle! (Lorekeeper Zinnia), Final Destination
6. Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Mario. In Space. Part 2. This is the game that I had the most fun with this decade. It's more Mario Galaxy! The level design in this game is what I consider the peak of the 3D Mario games. The power ups are fun to use, they brought back Yoshi and made really fun to use (some of my favorite levels include him). The music is wonderful to listen, with a excellent orchestral soundtrack. This is my favorite 3D Mario game till this day.
Favorite OSTs: Cloudy Court Galaxy, Throwback Galaxy, Bowser's Galaxy Generator
7. Super Mario Odyssey - Mario. With a magical hat. That lets him possess basically anything. Okay. This game is blast! Mario Odyssey decides to go back into a open world environment (and also not explore the universe). The best thing about this game is how excellent it feels to control Mario in this game. This has the most versatile move set that Mario has since Sunshine. It makes controlling Mario really fun. I also love discovering the new things that Mario can posses (my favorite is the dinosaur). This is one of the best Switch games out there! Have fun playing this!
Favorite OSTs: Steam Gardens, Jump Up, Super Star!, Bowser Battle 2
8. Journey - What a journey indeed! Just go play this game if you haven't yet. Be prepared to experience something magical!
Favorite OSTs: Nascence, Apotheosis, I was Born for This
