  • Subnautica (original and Sub Zero, plus a nod to Planet Crafter which captures some of that same vibe)
  • Metroid Prime (and all the other Metroids)
  • StarCraft (1 and 2, though fuck Blizzard today)
  • Diablo (2 and 3, though to a lesser extent for 3, and still fuck Blizzard)
  • WoW (I'm done with it now but there was a reason I was addicted for those years, but fuck Blizzard)
  • Oblivion (and Skyrim)
  • Factorio (and Dyson Sphere Project)

  • Paradox games (HOI4, CK3, Europa (uh current?), Stellaris)
  • Hades

Many others could have been listed here instead. Oxygen not included, smash Bros, DBZ kakarot, xenosaga 2, transport fever, city skylines, risk of Rain 2, King's quest series, civ, Halo, Mario games, Zelda games, Mario Kart, Lego games, Minecraft... And I'm sure I'm missing many more that I have tried and others that I haven't.

In no particular order:

  • Hero's Quest (from Sierra On-line)

  • Skyrim
  • No Man's Sky
  • City of Heroes (can you believe it's legally back?!?)

Ultima IV !!! Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.

I played that on my Commodore 64 and waited a loooong time for the (actually floppy) disk drive to spin up.

I bet most people here don't know any of the Ultima games.
