I love variety and I could never point to one game being my favorite. What about you guys? :3

    Minecraft. I don’t come back to any other game as much. Minecraft can be what I want it to be more so than any other game I’ve played.

    Tough one actually,

    I got a few, but these are my top picks:

    • OG GTA San Andreas (IMHO, the best map and story) has lots of stuff to do, including an online community long before GTA Online was a thing.

    • Sleeping Dogs (quite an underrated game even though it is getting more attention recently).

    • An old-school platformer one: Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (great OST, fun game to play)

      The main theme of Jazz 2 is an absolute banger! Done by Alexander Brandon, I believe? Which makes sense since he did a lot of the music for Unreal Tournament too.

      You, Sir, have a great taste. I’m currently going for 100%-achievements in GTA4, and after that I’ll try Sleeping Dogs. Now I’m really hyped!

        You won’tt be disappointed my friend. Also you might want to play the definitive edition of Sleeping Dogs.

        SL has good story writing and recognizable sidequests. Don’t forget those, cause some are straight bangers. (Both cultural and cinema references).

    Factorio. 10k hours and I still play it over and over again when I get cravings or when there’s. No other games to play.

    2nd is Minecraft and 3rd is rimworld

    Of course all of them HEAVILY modded.

    I always have a heavily modded skyrim running on every machine I game on. No mater what I can play that game over and over.

    Expedition 33 quickly eclipsed anything that could have been considered my favorite game last year.

    Pure art.

    Star Control II (1992)

    Still hasn’t been beaten yet due to the humor, immersion and in my opinion sublime story,
    although “We Love Katamari” came very close with its humor,
    enormous fun gameplay and awesome music.

    Same goes for “Super Smash Bros. Melee”.
    I never owned the game.
    I first played it because I decided to join a
    3-day LAN party without knowing what was expected,
    so I immediately decided to return home with my old laptop until I noticed
    this single couch stuffed in the corner with only one game playing for anyone to join,
    48 hours later with only a few occasional breaks of 4+ friend groups prying me from the couch,
    I decided that the LAN party was still somewhat a success
    and that I needed to go home and sleep all Sunday.

    I Will forever call Star Control II “The best game of the 20th century”

    Though I have to admit that I practically stopped playing computer games
    when World of Warcraft came out.

    Overall, bg3. Looking back all the way to pong, I haven’t had as much fun for as long as with bg3.

    Not that I want to play it every single time I put in game time. I do like variety too. But in terms of sheer joy of play, bg3 just hits the right points.

    I can maybe see a future game topping it, though I suspect that would be a rarity what with the things in games that really hit for me being hard to find in one game. Even bg3 doesn’t hit every single thing that I love in games, it just hits the most important ones. It’s not perfect, but I’ve never required that in a game.

    Hard to choose from these three: Planescape Torment. Disco Elysium. World of Warcraft Vanilla.

    and maybe MGS4 on PS3 was good. :)

      Ive been telling people that Disco Elysium is “basically planescape torment but without the party and combat”

    If I split my life into 4 chapters:

    1. Phantasy star 4 - great story, a game way ahead of its time
    2. WoW
    3. Oxygen Not Included
    4. Satisfactory

      Yup, this one.
      If I can play a game where I both have sweaty palms desperately trying to match the needed fast paced escape velocity for a solar station landing, but also have quiet moments where I put down the controller and think about my life while waiting patiently for an end I know is coming… Then that is the best game.

      Just finished Outer Wilds yesterday and it definitely shot up to my top 10. Nothing could beat Portal so far though…

        I think with Outer Wilds and Obra Dinn I realized that “Information games” are just my absolute favourite genre of games. Portal is incredible, but more a regular puzzle game than an information game.
