"Sins of a Solar Empire" is a pretty cool title.

I prefer the classics: "Spacewar", "Pong", "Asteroids", "Tank", "Jet Fighter", "Combat", etc. These were titles that were short and yet entirely explanatory. If it was in the title, it was in the game.

Not my favorite series, but as a title, Breath of Fire is pretty metal.

Phantom Pain is an awesome subtitle for any game, Metal Gear or not.
Shadowrun: Dragonfall sounds super cool.
Half-life and its expansions Blue Shift and Opposing Force are clever titles.

Spyhunter is pretty cool name for a game. Lights up the imagination. Is it action, strategy, adventure, ... could be anything, but it sounds cool.

"The Temple of Elemental Evil" and "Eye of the Beholder" are very foreboding and have an 80s fantasy sound to them.
"Knights of the Old Republic" is a grand title that is very fitting to the epic setting of Star Wars.
"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" has the perfect exotic fairy tale ring to it.

I am addicted to Vermintide 2.
Vermintide is an incredible name. It conjures such a great mental image and conveys the theme of the game perfectly.

I suppose it is a good name but I never really thought about it tbh. Apparently they actually had to shorten the title because it was too long "Warhammer: Vermintide II - The End Times".

The developers done a really good job with the gameplay though.

To be honest I just realised I posted this here, instead of the "what game are you playing" thread, so I was a bit confused by your reply.

Nevermind I just realised I did post in the "what game are you playing" thread, and you quoted me here. Seems like I only confused myself.

It was a particularly good name that I wanted to crosspost in the dedicated "Best game titles" thread.

I think the non-localized title of the Etrian Odyssey series is cool: 世界樹の迷宮 Labyrinth of the World Tree
Lunatic Dawn is a good title, though I haven't played any of that series.

Ravenous Devils.

It's a cute, romantic game where you manage a tailor shop and restaurant simultaneously.
