Have you got a 'forever game'? (self.letstalkaboutgames)

As their name suggests, forever (or evergreen) games are games that don’t have a finale or culmination, as in “The End”. These games have a very high replayability factor (meaning we enjoy playing them over and over again).

Forever games are also timeless. We can pick up these games anytime , be it the day they were released, or a few years later, and play them for months or years. We can even stop playing for a while, pick them up again years later, and they’d still be fun and relevant.

I think mine is probably Rocket League. I've been playing it since day one back in 2014. Multiple console generations and platforms, thousands of hours playing solo and with my brothers. It's been nearly ten years and I'm still putting in 3-4 hours a week, every week.

Yeah it has to be RL. I too have been playing for 10 years and still trash.

@Oneeightnine
Probably Civilization or Crusader Kings at this point.

Rocket League has burrowed its way so deep into my mind that I unconsciously perceive the aesthetics of football to be a rip off of Rocket League but with tiny balls and no rocket cars.
