My top 3 right now:

- Electric Thunder Tiger. In the 23rd century, sentient construction machines rise from the underground to take control of the city, forcing a simple electrician to become a superhero called Electro Triple Star. Amazing. I used to spend hours at the arcade with this one. It takes some pretty cliché American superhero shit and transforms it, makes it experimental and this crazy deep dive into the relationship that the hero, and the player through him, has with the city he wants to protect and the machines that both built the city and want to destroy it.

- Hotline Miami. It's 1989 and you're a badass antihero on a murderous rampage against the shady underworld. This one really stands the test of time, great combat loop, stellar visuals, a banging soundtrack, and real kinetic combat. One of the greatest titles ever.

- Shovel Knight. You're this guy with a shovel looking to find his lost beloved and take down some evil knights led by this enchantress chick. This one's hard, but it's meticulously designed to prepare you for the levels getting harder and harder. Some major overhaul of old-school platform mechanics as well.
