Pikmin is up there for me. Such an odd and charming little game, and one I was able to play with my dad who never showed any interest in vidya before or since. It was too difficult to beat when I was a kid (I got absolutely bodied in The Distant Spring and couldn’t make a fast enough recovery to beat the 30 day timer), but coming back as an adult I really appreciate how refreshing it still feels all these years later. Still need to play Twilight Princess though.
And I was actually just playing Soul Calibur II yesterday! Link is up there, but Cervantes has gotta be my favorite. I just love how over the top all his lines are (“Come with me to hell!”, “Your soul makes a poor meal!”) and the weight of his attacks, and as someone who sucks ass at fighting games he had a few easy moves I could spam.
