Just beat Sekiro and Sword Saint Isshin rocketed to my top tier instantly. (Spoilered since the game isn't a year old yet)

Other god tier bosses include Senator Armstrong, Vergil 3 and DMC5, multiple Bloodborne bosses, multiple KH2FM bosses and Liquid Ocelot (this one purely for theming.)

Oh right I'm surprised I forgot The End. Bloody incredible encounter with so many ways to approach it - and even multiple ways to avoid it entirely!

Was about to say The End from MGS3. My first fight against him took an hour and I loved every minute. But also there are so many favorite bosses I don't know where to start.

Several Souls bosses. Ludwig, Champion Gundyr, Daddy Owl to name a few.

Roxas in KH2FM. The fight is great, his theme music playing throughout is what makes it god tier.

Feels like I should have a favorite Zelda boss, hmm. Twinrova probably bc mirror shield rules.

The End is definitely up there as well, and probably one of the biggest reasons I remember MGS3 so fondly.

And wow, I'm really struggling to come up with anything. I can't think of too many bosses that have etched themselves onto my soul outside of those I faced growing up. I still really like Goht from Majora's Mask, Thraxx from Secret of Evermore, Ramirez from Skies of Arcadia.

Liquid Ocelot (MGS4)
Krauser (RE4)
Tyrant on the Plane (RE: Code Veronica)
I don't know why I'm marking this as spoilers but Red (GSC/HGSS)
Cronos in GoW3 blew me away the first time I played it

Knight Artorias from Dark Souls is definitely my favorite.

Chykka from Metroid Prime 2 is an underrated one

I still really like Goht from Majora's Mask

Yeah, Goht using full Goron Mask strats is still one of the most fun boss fights in gaming IMO. It's simple, but it doesn't need to be more.

The final boss of SMT4 Apocalypse is probably my favorite boss fight overall though, in any genre.
