Here’s a continuation of my list chosen using Metacritic’s "All Time Games" as a rough guide. I went through page two and made the list below. One failing in the Metacritic list is that it only goes back as far as 1996. I’ll need a list that includes 80s and early 90s games eventually. For this list, I’ve put my preferred console(s) next to each entry.

Diablo (PS)
God of War (PS2, PS3)
Star Wars KoTor (Xbox, XBO back compat)
Witcher 3 (XBO)
Divinity Original Sin II (XBO)
Pac-Man Championship Edition DX (XBL?)
God of War 2 (PS2)
Undertale (PS4)
Persona 4 Golden (PSN?)
Persona 5 (PS4, PS3)
Okami (PS2, XBO)
Fallout 3 (X360, XBO)
Gears of War 2 (X360, XBO)
Mass Effect 3 (X360, XBO)
Skies of Arcadia (NGC as Legends)
Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword (Wii)
Rock Band 3 (X360)
Viewtiful Joe (NGC)
Uncharted 4 (PS4)
Paper Mario (N64)
Forza Horizon 4 (XBO)
God of War III (PS3)
Guitar Hero 2 (X360)
Uncharted 3 (PS3)
Rock Band (X360)
Bloodborne (PS4)
Eternal Darkness (NGC)
Rock Band 2 (X360)

Some notes:

Diablo on Playstation. I remember seeing this PC game port back in the Playstation days, but I never played it. I wonder if it's any good? Since I’m not doing PC games, I’ll have to find out.

I have the God of War Series, Gears series, KotOR, Okami, Mass Effect series, Forza Horizon 4, Uncharted 4 and even Eternal Darkness. I may even have a few more, but I’ll have to check my collection later on.

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. I didn’t know DX was a sequel to the first Championship Edition, which I have. It seems like from what I read on wiki that it’s only available on X360 or PS3, but I bet it’s there in the store for Xbox Live on XBO or PSN on PS4. I’ll have to check.

I don’t have a Vita anymore, but I think I saw Persona 4 Golden on PSN for PS4. Maybe I can get the original Persona 4 on PSN?

I don’t have a Dreamcast anymore either, but I think Skies of Arcadia is still in my friend Mark’s collection. But I think I’d rather track down the Skies of Arcadia Legends version for GameCube rather than get another Dreamcast.

I must get a copy of Paper Mario. I’ve always wanted it since way back in my flea market shopping days. I wonder if it’s on Nintendo’s shop, but I think the shop isn’t available on Wii-U anymore (certainly not Wii). I’m getting my N64 back from Mark soon, so I guess I’ll track down the cart instead.

Bloodborne is a must. I even owned it at one point but never played it. I’ll get it again and really play it this time.

Rock Band and Guitar Hero. I’ve dabbled in these games, and I still have a guitar and drum set for them. I’d love to give them another run. Those games are super cheap too; although, I think I have one of them still. I’d love to play the Beatles Rock Band one day too.

Here's the games on your list that I like.  So you should play them first. :)

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

Okami

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Viewtiful Joe

Paper Mario

As far as Paper Mario games go, the best one is the GameCube sequel: The Thousand Year Door.

What's the deal with Pac-Man Championship Edition DX. All I see out there in Pac-Man Championship Edition 2. Is this the same game?

Okami I've played several times but never beat it. I'm trying to get another copy for my Xbox One, but I still have my PS2 copy. 

Skyward Sword I don't have. Didn't they do a HD Remake for Wii-U? I think I saw that last week. 

Viewtiful Joe I've played several times but never beat it. I also don't own it anymore. I'm going to track down a copy for my GameCube. 

Paper Mario I don't have but will get. I've secured a N64 now, so I just need the cart. Thousand Year Door is amazing and I still have it. I haven't beaten it yet but I played a lot of it last year. I can't wait to replay it.

Pac-Man CE: DX and 2 are not the same games.  DX just changed the rules of the first game a bit and 2 expanded on it.

There is not a remake of Skyward Sword at all.  But an HD remake would be great on the Switch.

I could never beat Viewtiful Joe either.  It gets too hard later on.

I can't find DX on the digital store on any console right now. I've only seen 2. Maybe I should focus on the original game for this replay instead of 2.

I think you need to add another Dreamcast to your collection. I think if anything you can try out the Homebrew games like the Streets of Rage homebrew (I forgot the name of it). I'm glad to see the toy musical controller games make the list. There were some really good ones and some that were missed like Beatmania and Taiko Drum Master.

Another Dreamcast, probably not, but it was fun when Mark and I were playing it. We played ots of co-op and multiplayer on that system: Gauntlet Legends and Quake III Team Arena. I miss Sega Bass Fishing though, so maybe. 

I had Taiko Drum Master on PS2 at one point. I don't remember playing it though. I'd like to do that now. 

I also tried to get Rock Band 1-3 today at Gamestop but I think they don't sell them anymore. I'm sure I've seen them at a GoodWill around here though.

Love Skies of Arcadia.

Skies is really cool. By the way, I was able to redownload Tales of Vesperia on my Xbox 360. Certain digital games I have on 360 aren't back compat on Xbox One, and this is one of them.

Ah that sucks it's not on the One though. Great game.

I saw the physical copy at a Gamestop a few weeks ago. I almost got it. Now I wish I did. Nice cover art.

It's my favorite Tales game.

Good luck with Bloodborne. I got stuck in the first world. It's a cool game though.

Yeah, like me and Demon's Souls. I so love the setting in that game but can't stomach the gameplay. I'd probably get frustrated with Bloodborne but love the design of it.
