When was the last time a game cracked your Top 3?

Probably Mass Effect 2, which is my number 1. My list is pretty loose and not set in stone when I try to think it out though. But I don't think any of the other games I've loved since then like TLOU 1 and 2, God of War 2018, Horizon Zero Dawn etc.could break the top 5 or so. Hard to break the nostalgia of things like Super Metroid, LTTP, OOT, Super Mario World and other favorites from my younger days. ME2 was good enough to do it though.
Someone else in the thread had a write up that I agree with, Honestly 0 and Judgment (and 7 of course) are the only Yakuza games where i finished with 70+ hours and actually loved the minigames. The combat in Judgment is more "stricter" and less brain dead than the Yakuza series combat, so that may be good or bad depending on how you feel. The story is also more serious than your usual Yakuza game, it still has the fun side content, but it kinda kicks off and stays serious for the most part early on.
Disco Elysium it blew me away as someone who loves storytelling I just finished it Monday night and will be going right back in after a Platinum since it was such an amazing experience and it hits emotionally where so many games try with mixed results it resonated with me
This almost made it for me. I already loved DKCR and then they did away with all of its minor flaws while adding some of the best music you will ever hear. What a game.
I find it very unlikely that anything will ever crack Symphony of the Night, Super Metroid, Suikoden II and Bubble Bobble. Dark Souls replaced World of Warcraft on my top 10, but that's the most recent one.
It's been a while but for me it was undertale. Waited for the hype to reside and then played it myself, completing the different paths and it got the most emotions out of me than any game since. It shook me to my core and months later I still kept hearing the Ost and watched at least 5 playtroughs of other people (which I rarely do aside from Gopher). It's currently my Nr. 3.
Yeah, if you've only played Yakuza 0, then Judgment is a HUGE Step-Up due to the new Engine.
And even if you have played other RGG Titles, I think the Story is of higher quality than the Kiryu ones due to the story being more grounded in nature and less backstabbing at every chapter.
Even though I started with Zero, then went to Kiwami 1 and 2...then back to 3-5 Remastered then to 6, I do feel that the Combat of these games...while not the best aspect of the game...do get more refined as you go along the release timeline.
Also, someone put it nicely in the Judgment OT actually 2 hours ago:
Pretty recently actually. Final Fantasy VII Remake blew my mind and outdid anything I ever expected it would.
