This is off the top of the dome and given more time I'd probably change this significantly, but here's 10 of my favorites from a multitude of genres:

  • Rain World
  • Outer Wilds
  • Stephen's Sausage Roll

(Those are pretty firmly my top 3, all totally mindblowing experiences that surprised and awed me multiple times)

  • Spelunky 2
  • Getting Over It
  • Peaks Of Yore
  • Satisfactory
  • Dark Souls PTDE
  • Hunt: Showdown
  • Morrowind

Honorable mentions for Guilty Gear and Tekken as series, and I have a special place in my heart for the 2000 title Sacrifice, which is my eternal top pick for a remaster/remake.

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

YES for Sacrifice. This game is a piece of art. I don't get how it was never remade or it never got a sequel. Such a loss...

In no real particular order, games with highest impact on me:

  1. battlefield 1942 - desert combat mod

Ground breaking at the time. Physics and gamespeed have never been captured by any other game. Consumed my free time for a long time.

2 counter strike

Simple concept, extreme depth. I've clocked several thousand hours into this franchise.

  1. The witcher 3

In terms of world building and story telling... Incredible.

  1. The Witness

Absolute masterclass in game design, world design. Puzzle design.. This is an incredible puzzle game that will shift your perspective.

  1. Faster than light

I haven't found anything else quite scratch that replay ability, that tethering on the brink of losing, itch. It's a unique game.

  1. Guild wars 2

Completely changed the way mmorpgs were played, and was a great mmo.

  1. Monkey Island

I wanted to mention a point and click, several spring to mind, but this still series lives in my mind the most. Although space quest is another that impacted my young brain.

  1. Minecraft

Like... I was there since its debut. Still watching and enjoying mc related content.

  1. Elite

Space is pretty big and cool

  1. Eve online

Getting back stabbed by the person you've been back stabbing for, so you join the enemies of your friends to be able to backstab your backstabbers.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago
  1. Hades.
  2. Rocket League
  3. Deep Rock Galactic
  4. Warframe
  5. Heroes of the Storm
  6. DotA. (I'm talking original WC3 mod here)
  7. Street Fighter 2
  8. Starcraft 2
  9. Tropico 4
  10. World of Warcraft (pre fuck-you-Blizzard days)

Honorable mention for all of the Diablo's really, been playing them since the first one, and all of the Fallouts, playing since the 2nd. Shoutout to my X-Com homies.

  3. World of Warcraft, as long as I can avoid cataclysm

I don't play them but would easily

  2. Torchlight
  3. Diablo II as it was in like 05

  • Thief I
  • Red Faction
  • The Sims I and III
  • Ski Free

And honourable mention of the only game I recently play, which is Cooking Fever.

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

Good choices!

The original Thief is such an incredibly atmospheric experience. Nothing quite like slinking around in the shadows watching that visibility meter...

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

Separated into top 5 and the rest.

  • Slay the Spire
  • BeamNg
  • Trackmania (not any of the games specifically more the concept)
  • Disco Elysium
  • Portal 2

  • Balatro probably
  • FTL
  • Mario Kart (8 and/or Wii)
  • Maybe Baldus gate 3
  • Thalos principle 2

The hearthstone battlegrounds auto battler mode is perhaps also in here but hearthstone itself I've never played.
