Minecraft. Even with all the shitty updates there is so much to be done in Minecraft that it’s honestly mind boggling. Almost anything is possible especially with mods. Only downside is Microsoft’s greedy ass owns it
Otherwise known as M$
Satisfactory
Portal
Breath of the Wild
Alan Wake 2
Slay The Spire. Really excited for the sequel.
Factorio.
Dwarf fortress but I haven't played that in a long time. It will outlast most other games however.
Valheim and Prey (2017)
Mother 3
it feels like it was made for my brain specifically to enjoy it lol
Either Chrono Trigger or Pokemon White
Portal (1&2)
Portal is amazing, also the community DLC but unfortunately not my greatest.
I'd go with something like Satisfactory or Dota 2 (gasp).
Deus Ex
Dwarf Fortress.
They're even making sequels to "the carp stands up" now. They added exercise to the game, and now carps get fucking ripped as fuck just swimming upstream, so when they start walking on land they're there to just destroy you and everything you hold dear.
I wasn't going to say df but I'm realising now after thousands of hours in that game there's STILL new things to learn, that was a wild ride thank you
My favorite game, the game I can always come back to, is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind
Wealth beyond measure, sera.
WHAT A GRAND AN INTOXICATING ANSWER
Cyberpunk 2077 for me, it has everything, an amazing story with great characters, fantastic gameplay, a banger soundtrack, and an interesting world that's fun to explore and feels like a real place.
Grim Fandango. Despite the weird tank controls, it created such an amazing world - and all in a point-and-click adventure. My home PC is named Manny, our NAS is Eva, the router/firewall is Glottis, and so on.
Also, Psychonauts. Just a perfect 3D platformer.
Grim Fandango is an amazing story about life and death and love...
... Built upon an engine where the protagonist walks around at sloth speed. Manny Calavaras just sashays along, and there's no way to speed his ass up. I wish you could hit escape or something to skip him walking in and out of scenes, but nope! I'm forced to watch him drag his feet from location to location.
But the most touching parts of the story stick with me after 20 years.
Have you played Psychonatus 2? How does it compare? I haven't, but I've been wanting to, but I also have limited time, so I'm looking for the next game after Baldur's Gate 3, which I'll complete in the next 3-4 months with my availability lol
I have. In fact, I backed the development of it.
Definitely worth playing. Maybe a bit less memorable than the original, but also a bit more consistent. There are no huge difficulty spikes like the Meat Circus in the original.
The story is a bit more complex, and a bit more muted. Most of the levels are less memorable. But absolutely worth the time to play and enjoy.
Detroit: Become Human
It was the only story ever that has pulled me in completely. I wasn't just playing it, I was living it. It took me 2 more days to come down to earth after finishing it.
No idea. Too many to pick from.
Boulderdash II on C64.
And later, Emerald Mine on the Amiga. So many hours of my life, gone.

Baldur's Gate 3. Hands down. Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably number 2. That said, I have more hours in World of Warcraft than every other game combined. It was an entire lifestyle for a few years back in the day. But WoW was good because of the people, not because of the gameplay.
I'll probably always think that Tetris is the greatest video game ever. The inherent dramatic arc that comes with watching the blocks stack up is tension directly within you the player, not you watching tension unfold for characters on the screen. It's different every time, even if the shape of the arc is similar, because you improve as a player. It's the kind of emergent involvement the most designers could only aspire to create.
That said of course Shadow of the Colossus is also a favorite. That one probably feels a little more obvious, but I'm okay with that.
Metal Gear Solid 3
I’d say Baldur’s Gate 3.
With Demons’ Souls a close second. For those of us who got to play that game before Dark Souls became a thing, when we knew next to nothing about what to expect, it was an almost revelatory experience.
Star Control 2
The Ur-Quan Masters
Free Stars
Breath of the wild.
Played it on a friends new Switch and bought a Switch and that game three days later. I was so immersed in this weird and wonderful world...
Barbie horse adventures
The Mass Effect Trilogy. By the time I was fighting in London I wondered where this game had been all my life.
BioShock Infinite and Spec Ops: The Line are the only two games I've played that I would consider "art" in the truest sense of the word. Video games in general are creative works, and they all have debatable levels of "greatness", but those who have played these two know what I mean.
