3. World of Warcraft: I have literal years of playtime, so.. Often maligned, sometimes very fairly, WoW has been the forerunner of MMORPGs for 20 years. The best mechanics since Darkfall died, a constant ability to invent and refine itself, and while the focus is not on writing, it's comfy pulp S&S.

4. Crash Bandicoot 2: Straddling a middle ground between the raw and uncut 1 and the cornucopia of 3, Crash 2 provides some of the best controls feel of all time, snappy and responsive and often able to save you by snagging a random edge. Mutato Muzika's OST is a perfect, shiny cherry on top.
