Perfectly designed and executed, with great replayability offered by the other playable characters, each of whom plays very distinctly different from the others. A portable masterpiece. Just don't lose your stylus. 31. Pokemon Red/Blue (GB, 1998) Blue > Red > Yellow LeafGreen > FireRed Charmander = Bulbasaur > Squirtle Ivysaur >>> Wartortle > Charmeleon Blastoise > Charizard > Venusaur I can't speak more eloquently about RBY than anyone, but it was obviously a transformative game. It brought thousands (millions?) of people to video games who might not have come to it otherwise. The trading element made gaming outwardly social in a way that it hadn't been before. It was and remains a cultural force, but it's also a pretty damn good game. I never got into the subsequent ones as much, but I did play the hell out of Blue, and I played LeafGreen from beginning to end when I found a cartridge in the grass in the park on a rainy day. I have no idea how it still worked! 30. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES, 1995) I'm not gonna say this has the greatest soundtrack of any Nintendo game, but I'm not going to say it doesn't, either. Even the songs we don't really think about are just as great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUgqqhgVGNQ&list=PL334A457011BC5467&index=8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY-mhdPdtq0&list=PL334A457011BC5467&index=9 Everything about DKC2 is great, honestly. K. Rool is at his best. It's just a tremendous game from a tremendous series. You know this. 29. Borderlands 2 (Xbox 360/PC 2012) The formula of the Borderlands games has a shelf life. That is undoubtedly part of why I did not play Borderlands 3. I do feel fortunate, though, that I also never played Borderlands, because that means I got to use the entirety of that shelf life on Borderlands 2, which by the accounts of my peers in this topic and on discord, remains the best in the series. I was also fortunate enough to spend much of my time playing this, both on 360 and on PC, with a wide array of Board 8ers, which significantly ratcheted up my enjoyment of the game and prolonged the magic through countless hours of irreverent, wanton destruction. I may never sink time like this into a game like this again, but I wouldn't trade it, either.
