I love variety and I could never point to one game being my favorite. What about you guys? :3
Every game I play is like “this is good, but it’s no Outer Wilds…”
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.
Deus Ex, Cyberpunk 2077, Surviving Mars, Stellaris and SWTOR.
All of them are my favourite game of all time.
It used to be Counter-Strike but now I think it’s Deadlock.
The game is still in closed beta but valve really nailed everything about it. The movement, the combat, the strategy, the art style. I wish I had young kid’s reflexes still but even so the game is absolutely brilliant.
Point of clarity for anyone interested: the game is in an invite-only beta. BUT the unofficial discord has people who can invite you. So feel free to come check it out. It’s great :)
You can also go to steam page -> dicussions and there are hundreds of invite threads in the forum. Just add friends any of the people there and they’ll give you an invite. The etiquette is to givr a small item (cs, tf2 etc.) in exchange for it so don’t be surprised if they ask you for a donation. Either way it’s worth it!
American McGee’s Alice.
I love the atmosphere, the game play, and the soundtrack. It is awesome 🤘
I loved that one when I was in high school! I was really impressed by the level design, and I do remember liking the soundtrack a lot. I haven’t heard it in forever but I’m sure I would recognize it.
I’ve wondered for forever, was there a way to make the secondary fire for the Jabberwock’s Eyestaff actually helpful? The meteors would pretty consistently injure me more than the enemies.
I remember thinking the jacks were the most useful weapon by a longshot.
Dragon Age Origins. A lot of game came close to it afterwards in my heart but couldn’t beat it. (Like The Witcher 3, The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wilds and Mass Effect 2)
I genuinely enjoyed every Dragon Age game in its own right (yes, even Veilguard), but agree that DA:O has some kind of special sauce that just couldn’t be recreated afterwards.
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)
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).
Sleeping Dogs is great, love the combat and the setting
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.
Yes that is correct.
-
Also impossible to pick just one, but depending on my mood it’d likely be one of these:
- Half-Life
- Quake
- Outer Wilds
- Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars
- GTA III
I’m struggling to pick a single game, but this three(ish) games I could play forever:
- Pokémon Blue/Red/Yellow: essentially the same game. I’m pretty sure I have played over 1,000 hours of these games so far, especially since I’ve played them in different languages and trying to achieve different goals — lots of fun challenges to try here. Oh, yeah, let’s add OG Pokémon Green there which I played in Japanese a couple of years ago.
- Pokémon Gold/Silver/Crystal: as with the first generation games, I’ve played these ones to exhaustion. In fact, I’m playing them right now. 200 hours in and counting!
- Xenoblade Chronicles: the “modern” game which has left the biggest impression on me. I put 100 hours into it and could do it again.
Celeste is a perfect game. My only complaint is that “it’s just a platform game”, which I don’t find that interesting anymore compared to games like Deltarune. Still, it brings me lots of joy, even on replays.
Expedition 33 quickly eclipsed anything that could have been considered my favorite game last year.
Pure art.
Fo sho.
Hard to choose from these three: Planescape Torment. Disco Elysium. World of Warcraft Vanilla.
and maybe MGS4 on PS3 was good. :)
Dungeons and Dragons.
If I split my life into 4 chapters:
- Phantasy star 4 - great story, a game way ahead of its time
- WoW
- Oxygen Not Included
- Satisfactory
So Skyrim must be my favorite because: Every year (I realized this last grind that it is always around December to January) do I start a new mod grind for Skyrim and then play a shit ton for a week or two and then never look back until winter again lol
I saw most added a list so I will too.
The best year of gaming for me was 2006 to around 2012, you will be able to tell by the list. Why around that time is because before then did I not playing games with deep or meaningful stories and after that have I only found a few games that I really like.
Games I haven’t played for a long time now but have a lot of nostalgic memories of (some did I play over and over again that I can not count unless I find all my saves):
- dragon age origin and 2 (fight me, 2 was great)
- mass effect 2 and 3 (especially 2)
- the three assassin’s Creed games with ezio, and black flag
- saint row 3 (4 was fun too but more like a chaotic episode)
- Shin Megami Tensei games mainly persona (3 and 4) and devil survivor (1 and 2)
- sleeping dogs
- golden sun
- pyre
- deus ex
- far cry 3
- tales of the abyss
- 999: nine hours, nine persons, nine doors
- phoenix wright
The list is getting long so I will stop now. It was fun thinking back especially on the megami tensei series, that is a rabbit hole to fall down in, i mixed them up a lot while trying to remember the names haha
I only added the games that woke up a fussy feeling in me (I hope I didn’t forget any important ones).
Sanctum 2. Though I do wish for a graphics update.
