Factorio.

Dwarf fortress but I haven't played that in a long time. It will outlast most other games however.

Portal

Breath of the Wild

Alan Wake 2

Team Fortress 2

Minecraft. Even with all the shitty updates there is so much to be done in Minecraft that it’s honestly mind boggling. Almost anything is possible especially with mods. Only downside is Microsoft’s greedy ass owns it

I feel compelled to mention Luanti here, just in case it's not on your radar. Also VoxLibre.

It's uh, well it's done.

And it's fully open source so it continues to grow.

And it's lighter and faster and has cleaner network code than MineCraft.

And it doesn't have M$ enshitifying it.

Disclaimer: I love this game and want to see the community grow and grow forever. It's so good and I want to keep playing it until I die.

Edit: I forgot to mention it's completely free and runs great on Windows, Linux, SteamDeck and Android.

Last of Us part 2.

Tomb Raider 1.

I'm replaying the remastered trilogy for the first time since I was a teenager. The level design is outstanding. Very clever re-use of the same areas, just at different heights.

It's inspiration from side-scroller prince of persia (also played this obsessively as a young child) is palpable. The movement system is revolutionary.

And the enemy progression is hilarious. First you fight some bats, then you fight some wolves, then you fight motherfucking Velociraptors, then a goddamned T-Rex. And thats not even close to the weirdest enemy you'll fight. Boss battles are evenly spaced until they aren't. when you have two boss battles immediately one after the other.

And then eventiually, you get to the pulsating flesh caves...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yeah. Tomb Raider is wayup there.

I remember being relieved when I survived the encounter with the bear, knowing that it was definitely going to be the scariest creature I would encounter. Lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

No idea. Too many to pick from.

I was always a discworld mud player... Lots of time there. But I bounced around many :⁠-⁠P

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I tried finding others but kept coming back to the one. Helped that i read a lot of fantasy and they used a lot of content i was already familiar with, but it was also the remorting system that entranced me

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, there was something special about the communities that built up around these games...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

I simply cannot agree more

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I'll probably always think that Tetris is the greatest video game ever. The inherent dramatic arc that comes with watching the blocks stack up is tension directly within you the player, not you watching tension unfold for characters on the screen. It's different every time, even if the shape of the arc is similar, because you improve as a player. It's the kind of emergent involvement the most designers could only aspire to create.

That said of course Shadow of the Colossus is also a favorite. That one probably feels a little more obvious, but I'm okay with that.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Morrowind maybe😎

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I’d say Baldur’s Gate 3.

With Demons’ Souls a close second. For those of us who got to play that game before Dark Souls became a thing, when we knew next to nothing about what to expect, it was an almost revelatory experience.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Recently, I would say Roadwarden, was such a great game with such a unique feel to it.

Biggest surprise: Final Fantasy tactics. Bought it for PSOne, PSP and Android.

Time spent playing: WoW

Story: (though category to pick one) Deus Ex

Honorable mentions: Day of the Tentacle Minecraft Final Fantasy VII Diablo Mass Effect series Portal series Half Life series

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (2 children)

My favorite game, the game I can always come back to, is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind

What a lazy ass comment

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Agreed, without better defined scope the question is just asking for:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_considered_the_best

Its a fun read but its already available.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Damn 2004 was a banger of a year for video games.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

The year of half life 2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Man why is did the list go so thin in the later years? Straight up nothing for 2021?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The criteria for inclusion:

The games listed here are included on at least six separate "best/greatest of all time" lists from different publications (inclusive of all time periods, platforms, and genres), as chosen by their editorial staffs.

This excludes every new title until six publications update their list. Then of course the title has to be good enough to be included on those lists.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Oh. Maybe if I read the criteria of being on that list before just indulging in it I would have understood. Thanks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Witcher 3 and not so distant second Red Dead Redemption 2.
