I've never really done one of these rankings with write ups topics but this one seems fun and self serving at the same time, so let's do it!

Inspiration: The other day I was watching a speedrun of a popular game and I thought to myself, "You know, there's really no good reason that I've never played this game. It's inexcusable, honestly." That got me thinking, and I started putting together a list of games that it's total bullshit that I haven't played them yet in the year 2020. Games which, if you knew me and my tastes very well, you'd consider it a safe assumption that yeah I totally played that game, but for whatever reason, I didn't.

Criteria: The reasoning for each game making the list can vary. It's not just critically acclaimed or top selling games. Rather, just games that, when I look back over time, considering my tastes, the consoles I owned, the amount of free time I had in life when it came out, etc. it's just like "how did I never play this?". Games that younger me would be ashamed or angry that older me never played them.

So generally, games on this list fall under one or more of these descriptions:

-"classic" games in a genre I like, which were either launch titles or near launch titles on a console I owned for its entire lifespan

-entries in a series which I love and have played all or mostly all the other entries except that one

-predecessors to games I put hundreds or even thousands of hours into, and I just never bothered looking back at the older games in the series which led to their creation

-sequels to games I loved and it's just really questionable as to why I didn't bother to check out for whatever reason

-games based on other IP that I love and for no good reason never bothered giving a chance

The list is made, so I'll start the write ups now! Woo hoo let's go.
