Titanfall 2's campaign. I don't replay a lot of games, but I've played through that one a good few times.

Definitely Civilization in general. There’s a lot of other games I like that are completely different, but year after year I come back to the Civilization series. And even though they peaked at Civ5, it’s still one of the few games I’ll preorder as soon as the next one is available.

Factorio, Rimworld, Terraria. In no particular order, they're all perfect at what they do.

Stellaris and Factorio

I’m gonna add Space Haven to the list. Still early access but I can’t stop. Been playing it on and off for the last year, 200 hours!

  • Skyrim. Curse you, Todd!
  • Dwarf Fortress (still on the old v0.47)

I've also recently began playing Spacebourne 2. It's janky and unpolished as fuck, but it's proving really interesting thus far. Considering it's done by a single dude, it's a miracle it even works.

Subnautica and Enscryption :)

The Sims 2. I’ve played a fair amount of all four Sims games including their mobile editions, and Sims 2 remains my favorite after a near (yeeesh) 20 years.

The modding community is still relatively robust, especially for a game that’s so old and out of the four, I feel like I can enjoy even the basic gameplay as a storyteller in Sims 2 more than in 3 or 4. In Sims 3, the focus was less on playing multiple families, so it had to be modded right out of the gate to get back to its foundation and I never liked the way the sims looked. Sims 4 “feels” a lot more like Sims 2, which a lot of people hated, but its expansion and content packs are a complete joke. It costs like $2K to have everything, and they’re still releasing packs. I know it’s just the state of gaming these days, but it just sucks the fun out of a lot of the game.

Half the fun these days, though, is just getting the game up and running on modern PCs. I installed a new hard drive a few months ago and it took the better part of a weekend to get the game fully installed and running. I do have Ultimate Collection, but the less time I have to spend in that stupid EA app, the better.

Kenshi! Getting your ass beat by slavers again and again has never been so fun!

It's 240 comments and no reference to Touhou?????

I play Taisei Project (FOSS bullet-hell shooter) and 3D Pinball: Space Cadet because it was #1 game in the list on Discover app.

Quake (1996). Still playing it more than 25 years later :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Total War Warhammer games. I keep starting new campaigns to play all the races and subfactions.

Grand Theft Auto IV. I've always felt it has the most emersive storyline and setting out of them all. Once you get past the janky driving controls it was a hell of a lot of fun.

Heroes of might and magic 3. What a gem! With the HD mod and Horn of the Abyss fanmade expansion (with a new town YARRR!), it's never dull.

I can't wait for the next update of HotA with a second town.

Crusader Kings, Europe universalis and imperator Rome. I know this is three games but it's the same general idea, as a history fan, this game scratches a very specific itch for me

There's also bannerlord/warband, amazing experience, sorta like ck3 on a micro level
