Sonic the Hedgehog
Although i'm of the opinion that it hasn't had a legitimately great installment since 2001.
Unleashed was mediocre at best, colors looks the same, Frontiers looks empty and souless i don't care how many callbacks they make, still haven't played Mania because the 2d games are overrated in every category except music and enemy designs.
Ffs Sega i just want Adventure PORTED to switch, NO remake, NO remaster, Just a port i'd be willing to pay full price for.
2nd is Pokemon, but it stopped being good when they switched to 3d models.
Can't decide on a 3rd.

Farming Simulator. What other franchise lets you stare at the thicc arse of a Valtra N174?
Devil may cry.
My favorite game is dark souls but my favorite franchise is mainline mario. There's a few kind of mid mainline mario games but there isn't a single bad one.
Bioshock. I always end up replaying the three games at least twice a year, I never get bored. And as the cherry on top, Elizabeth is one of my favorite waifus, so I am forever grateful with Infinite.
Gran Turismo
Doing one thing and doing it well is a good bet for a series. I like how much less spectacle-driven this series is compared to most of its contemporaries, especially as more modern racing simulators took some of the GT players who came for the image of playing "the real driving simulator."
(I have never played 6 and have no plans to play 7 unless Polyphony decides to allow local saves. Sport is mechanically fantastic, though I never bothered to play it online.)
Close second, but mostly for the universe rather than the media itself. The concept is great: a physics-based rubber-hose cartoon platformer. The games are hit-and-miss, and I hesitate to call any of them "good," much less "great." The current comics are fine, but I am not an active reader of them, and there are just too many new characters for me. I just picked up Frontiers because it was on sale. Forgive me as I have not finished yet.
It made me realise how many of the series' flaws seem to be permanently ingrained at this point: small budgets, strange and stilted dialogue, contrived and awkward level design, excessive reuse of old locales and assets, and so on. It honestly feels like a step backwards from Forces in many ways, which I criticise for the many of the same reasons. In fact, the problem of excessive call-backs may be even worse in Frontiers because it literally feels like the plot completely halts to wink and nod to the audience, while Forces at least had the dignity to clearly work it into the plot.
The physics engine is a strange in-house concoction that is difficult to predict in too many circumstances and seems to be fractured between 2D versus 3D, Overworld versus Cyberspace, and rolling versus boosting. And the environments are just painfully generic, barren, and inconsistent. And the pacing is just too slow.
The soundtrack is nice, though. Very inspired. A bit weird to make metalcore the soundtrack of the bosses and to have such a wide variety of EDM styles for Cyberspace, though.
Sorry for the long rant.

Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell
Every game in the franchise feels great to almost being excellent but while i haven’t played them in a long time, i cant deny how the stealth action is unique to its own.
i hope ubisoft gives me and the community another sequel but I dont think it would be possible since the author of the series (Tom Clancy) died :/
At least a remake is in the works

Yakuza, huge insane stories full of twists, cool characters, and an insane amount of side stuff to do
Splatoon
Been playing since launch of the first game. The game is amazing, and honestly addictive. The movement is so satisfying and fluent. The lore and story is super engaging. I love the constant marine life joke/puns and how the game doesn't take itself super seriously, but also has serious moments. I've sunk well over 3,000 hours into the series. I've met some really great friends and cool people through it as well. I really suggest at least giving the game, Splatoon 3, a chance
Favorite game? Tied between Undertale, dragon raja, and good old classic from my childhood Animal Jam. I still play lol
Favorite franchise? Hard one. Anything legend of zelda.

Either Metroid or Monster hunter
I've honestly gonna say Crash Bandicoot.
DOOM
Nothing beats zooming around classic doom maps. Its so fucking fun. And 2016 and eternal are also amazing
It's close between Devil May Cry and Darksiders, but if I had to put one first, I'd have to go with Darksiders since I liked more of games there than in DMC franchise.
