All older games as I can't fit games into adult life:
And honourable mention of the only game I recently play, which is Cooking Fever.
Good choices!
The original Thief is such an incredibly atmospheric experience. Nothing quite like slinking around in the shadows watching that visibility meter...
Civilization III Final Fantasy IX Valheim Kerbal Space Program Stellaris Empire Earth Borderlands 2 Morrowind Halo: Reach Rimworld
The must be mentioned: KOTOR Bioshock(and Infinite) Final Fantasy 4, 14, 5, 6 in that order AOE 2 Red Alert 2 Total War: Rome, Rome 2, Medieval 2, and Shogun Lords of the Realm 2 No Man's Sky Horizon series Space Empires V Battlefield 1942 Medal of Honor(the first one from the 90's, not that bullshit reboot from 2010) Smash Bros Melee, 64, Brawl in that order Crysis Warcraft II: The Tides of Darkness Theme Hospital MDK2 Chrono Trigger
It was tough leaving some of those mentioned ones out of the top ten, but the top ten belong where they are for me for how definining they were/are for me.
StarCraft Chrono Trigger Tetris Super Mario World Super Mario Bros 3 Wolfenstein 3D Doom 2 Skyrim Minesweeper 百万人の漢検
That's eight. Not to recommend them, only to note what made my life exciting
It's mostly a heartfelt list... although arguably most of those are quality games too, regardless of emotional connection
I'll add mine in no particular order:
Zelda: tears of the kingdom
Diablo 3
Secret of Mana
Skyrim/Oblivion
Super Mario Odyssey
Zelda: ocarina of time
Command: aces of the deep
Halo 3
Metal gear solid
Donkey Kong country 2
These are the games over gotten the most enjoyment out of over the years
If I had a #11 I'd have listed Halo3. GREAT game :)
I’m not very nostalgic, so not much of old games on this list (in no particular order):
| Bloodborne |
| Red Dead Redemption 2 |
| Dark Souls |
| The Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom |
| Hades |
| Monster Hunter World: Iceborne |
| Shadow of the Colossus |
| Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater |
| Super Mario Galaxy 2 |
| Elden Ring |
Ranking is tough but I'll give it a go. The ranking is based on the impact and enjoyment I got out of them regardless of playtime.
What Remains of Edith Finch & Kentucky Route Zero (shared 1st place)
Life is Strange
Stray
GRIS
Cyberpunk 2077
SOMA
Heaven's Vault
The Town of Light
FAR: Lone Sails
Portal 2
That last one is a bit of an outlier but I have laughed so much while playing it, it deserves a place at the table.
Oh, look, my list, slightly rearranged, missing some star wars stuff, and with some extras for me to try!
Enjoy the new games!
I see you like narrative-driven games. Have you played Detroit : become human? It scratched the itch for me when I ran out of life is strange
Yup, I have. I liked it, but it did not make the top 10 for me, purely because two of the storylines were amazing imo (Connor & Kara) and one was centered around a trope that I absolutely despise (Markus). It didn't ruin the game for me, I still loved it and will play it again at some point, but because of that I cannot put it in my top 10.
Alphabetical Order
Okay done
Half life 2 (especially episode 2), HL: Alyx, Mario 3, Sonic 3 (with Sonic and Knuckles attached), Sonic 2, space station 13, dead by daylight, portal 2, guitar hero 3, I dunno, one of the metal gear solids or Garry's mod
In no particular order:
Honorable Mentions:
This is just out of the games I can recall off the top of my head and no order besides the first title being number one:
• Borderlands (specifically on xbox360 with all DLC)
• Fallout New Vegas (despite never actually beating it once)
• SuperTuxKart
• Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Platinum Edition
• Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2 since I've never played it on original xbox and because I still think it's a pretty good way to experience classic Sonic for those that don't want things like savestates and those that do)
• Crazy Taxi (on Dreamcast)
• Hitman Blood Money/Absolution (purely for how much fun I manage to find in them regardless of their flaws and yes I'm counting them as a single game because I can't say I like one more than the other)
• Spyro Reignited Trilogy (so far the only game remaster I can think of where I'd recommend it over the originals because fuck Year of the Dragon and the portals leading to the minigame like sections in levels causing the music to turn off if you get too close in the original)
• Pokemon Uranium (that one fangames that got banned but is still being updated/my first experience with pokemon fangames and ROM hacks)
• Portal 2 (both on xbox360 and PC because I beat co-op on 360 by myself once and also because level editor on PC and the one level I have saved that I cannot beat despite trying on and off for years)
No Order:
Rimworld
Project Zomboid
Deep Rock Galactic
Vintage Story
Fallout New Vegas (+F2)
Civilization 5
Kerbal Space Program
Mass Effect Series
Minecraft
Gothic
Seeing civ V there brought back some real good memories for me, overall you have some real solid choices in no opinion
Rock and Stone!
