Resident Evil- if it was a list of 6 favorite series
Kind of hard to order them but this first one is definitely my favorite
Persona — Have not played 1 or 2 yet but I love the other 3 mainline games a lot, spinoffs are very hit or miss though. (So far Metaphor ReFantazio is also amazing but that doesn't really count here) I've also played the orginal SMT5 and really liked it so I do also want to play Vengeance and Nocturne sometimem, but I haven't played enough SMT outside of Persona to include it.
Smash Bros — Very fun and deep gameplay and I like seeing my favorite characters all together. The character reveals are also some of the most exciting moments in gaming honestly.
Mario — Also a good and fun time, I enjoy a lot of the platformers and Mario Kart and Party are a great time too.
NieR — Only played Automata and Replicant for the first time this year and they are some of the best if not the best stories in any game I've played and honestly has the most thought provoking themes as well. I also tried the first Drakengard for like 2 hours but the gameplay is actually so bad, (I know it could be intentional but still) so I'm hoping it gets remade in the future and I do want to play Drakengard 3 at some point as well.
Final Fantasy — Have not played a lot of the games but I really like the ones I have played (except 15 but whatever). 7 is my favorite but I also really like the remakes along with 16 and 10 so I look forward to eventually playing more in the future (8, 13 and 4 are eventually up next).
@Malaise Well, Persona 4 Golden is my favourite game of all time and I love the series in general, so it was a natural pick
