Sticking to the same guidelines others have posted - no multiplayer, must restart from the beginning. I have 5-6 different farms in Stardew, it’s fun trying new layouts and seeing how much faster you are at advancing than the previous run. The rest are classics I’ve replayed many times.

AC and Stardew are about building a prosperous yet sustainable island/farm (except for the whole flights to other islands part). The Ori games as others have said include restoring and preserving the natural world. FF7 has you save the planet from Shinra and Sephiroth’s attempts at destruction. Vampire Survivors has one level where you run around as a dog and restore the HP of trees with your rainbow farts.

This is my first pass, I'll rank these later and maybe bump one or two but I think it's a solid list. Some punishing NES classics, punishing modern platformers, games that can get very difficult if you want them to (Celeste, MK8), and The Witness just has some reaaaally tough puzzles. I haven't finished that game since I've gotten so stuck on the puzzles (I used guides on a few but am keeping that to a minimum since that's not the point).

Mostly games I play with my family. so if you’re specifically looking for great games to play with kids, this is for you! I think I mentioned in my review of Terraria that I played a 6 hour co-op session with coworkers including @uxorcist , and after hearing @evolvixon talk about it on the pod I’m getting the itch to get back in

I'm sure there's more but these are the two I'm certain of. For Link to the Past I specifically remember a dream I had as a kid: I couldn't figure out where the Titan's Mitt was and really wanted it, so in my dream I captured a bee in a bottle and then let the bee go, which then somehow got me the Titan's Mitt. Spoiler alert, it did not work in the actual game, but hey there was no way to look this up back then. Just had to try out the wild ideas!

Up until I had kids I made a point of 100% beating Mario, Zelda and most Metroid. I didn’t do every bonus mission for the Batman games but I got all the riddler trophies so I’m counting it. PvZ is the only game I’ve truly gotten all achievements on.
