and maybe Portal

• Bloodborne
• Bioshock
• Hollow Knight

I don't see Goldeneye on your list.

Katamari Damacy. It has a reputation for being silly Japanese nonsense, but the gameplay is brilliant, the graphics are timeless, the soundtrack is incredible, and it has some surprising thematic depth.

Out of recent ones, Blue Prince

Just out of curiosity, listing the games mentioned here as of this writing by their date of release:

For me it's Journey. That game gave me an emotional experience I've never had in any other.

Braid. Surprised that it wasn't mentioned yet

We’re including mobile games too, right?

Monument Valley

MAD MAX from 2015, while not tied directly to the new movies it scratches an itch I haven’t found in any other game. It’s dark and bleak and brutal. The combat on foot and behind the wheel are both incredible. Nothing quite like being in the middle of ripping a convoy 7 new assholes and being hit with a dust storm. It can be repetitive if you want to complete everything but BY THE GODS OF VALHALLA is it a fucking blast.

Bloodborne.

It’s also easy to tell most lemmyzens are PC gamers since I hardly saw anyone mention it and it is OBJECTIVELY THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE.

I'm going to take this as "games that I never see anyone question their quality." (I don't even like all these games myself)

There is no "objective" when talking about subjective terms.

My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2

I think Outer Wilds is the most unique and fantastic way to tell a story I've ever experienced. Truly open in a way I've not seen before or since.

With the banger of a soundtrack too, I just can't bring myself to rate other games higher than it; even if I enjoy them more, Outer Wilds is probably the best game I've ever played.

Slay the Spire probably makes the list as it's inspired countless tweaks on its incredibly balanced deck building experience
