Just got back to Civ 5 and could not record any game over the last 3-4 years I was invested in.

It’s so hard just trying to find the time.. and then when you progress a decent amount into a game life just crops up. It’s so hard to pick a game up a couple of weeks later after being away from it 😅

To answer the question though, probably Final Fantasy XIV or RDR2.

Valheim never been intro survival games but this one just felt old school enough to be perfect and it was co-op that’s big for me

I'm 34 and lately I'm finding myself deeply immersed and playing X-Rebirth for some reason

[–] booze_bacon_guns@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

43y/o gamer here. RDR2 sucked me in. I play Vampire Survivors as well when I need a break from it

[–] OrangeJoeeeeeee@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

42 here, the full Uncharted series is what I’ve been playing again absolutely amazing game and great story. I’ve beat all the games maybe 5 times

[–] Basscyst@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Hitman Trilogy is great.

[–] Ricocheting_Potato@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I would have said x4 foundations, probably a typical game for my age, strategy, single player etc. But I recently stepped out of my comfort zone and started playing Rust, it’s multiplayer PvP and definitely a change from normal genre, but I love it!

[–] Rich-Blacksmith6672@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Satisfactory, I lost several nights sleep to it! Plus dozens of very late nights.

[–] djdavies82@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Recently got into the Dark Souls series after initially trying them and getting my ass handed to me repeatedly (turns out charging in with little stamina isn’t a good tactic)

[–] DaisyCutter312@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cyberpunk 2077 grabbed my attention from first boot up and held it for nearly 100 hours.

[–] TerahardJuan@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (15 children)

Red Dead Redemption 2, busy hunting animals to drip Arthur out! Best 100 hrs of gameplay OF MY LIFE!

Hardcore WOW last month, Rip warlock 39

[–] Lopsided_Screen3873@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

45 here and it's Baldurs Gate 3 now on my second playthrough but act 3 is lagging and now I gotta wait on patch 5 sometime this week.

[–] darkrussian94@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd have to say Monster Hunter on the 3DS. I love how you get to hunt giant creatures with friends and either succeed and celebrate or fail and trash your room. Very basic game in terms of story, but so much you can do in it IMO.

[–] Alpha_Killer666@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stray. Played it because i have a cat and wanted to see why everyone was talking about the game. Loved it

[–] hi_robb@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] Hanabie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Baldurs Gate. Apart from that, my comfort game Civilization VI immerses me if I don't overdo it.

[–] Yabanjin@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I’m 58, since we are limiting it to last game, I’m on the Baldur’s Gate 3 bandwagon.

[–] Avenger1324@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The Witcher 3 - Not sure why I hadn't tried it earlier, but when they had the big update last year I figured that would be a good time to start playing it - and got sucked into it.

Satisfactory was another fun one that could make evenings disappear. Just one more thing to discover, one more factory to build or tweak... and it's 3AM.

Baldurs gate 3. Not seen a game like it since Planescape: Torment.

It's the only game I've finished that I immediately started a second playthrough.

Currently playing BG3. As I'm doing it multiplayer, I'm having to wait until both myself and my mate have time available, which is making it slow going. Definitely worth it though.

I’m 56. I can’t stop playing Starfield. Yes it has faults but I love an open world BGS game.

[–] cidici@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

54, same… 🙂

Star Ocean: The Second Story R makes me feel like I'm 19 again and the QoL changes make it one of the best remakes of a game ever. Like... it's legit painful to go back and play the OG version now.

Currently BG3, but the last game I finished was Outer Worlds.

[–] Wolfman01a@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Most recently the one that really grabbed me was Days Gone.

Spectacular game. Its like the Walking Dead played out in the Grand Theft Auto 5 engine. Really long campaign too, which I loved.

[–] CaptainPhukflaps@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Returnal. Only game that's truly engaged me in the past 5 years, I'm 43 now.

Path of exile

[–] Kilroy83@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'd say Fallout Nevada and Disco Elysium

On my way to my 40s, just a couple of months to go :)

I am completely into Stardew Valley, about 140h in the game and still excited.

[–] craig_nintendo@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

The original Dark Souls.

[–] FransNL1983@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Persona 5, perfect mix of oddball story, music, gameplay and visuals

Alan Wake 2 is great so far.

[–] TonkaCrush@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

49 and I’m completely addicted to GTA O

[–] zOSsysprog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (5 children)

63yo gamer here.

My main is Path of Exile. When I grow tired of a season I switch to Grim Dawn. I’ve played enough D2 and D3 where I can’t stomach D4.

44 here (actually had to calculate my age!)

I just completed Blasphemous which I absolutely loved. I'm also heavily invested in Darktide.

[–] saturnus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I stopped playing just before talent trees. Likely worth giving another go?

[–] MarkGaboda@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Dead by Daylight.

[–] Odd-Collection-2575@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Without scrolling through the comments section, I am gonna guess a lot of answers are Elden Ring and BG3.

[–] David-J@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Cyberpunk 2077

[–] themodernritual@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Wouldn't say that commpletely immersed, but Cyberpunk is an insanely good game now. At launch it sucked.

[–] nailbunny2000@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago
[–] petehasplans@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. I have over 1,000 hours in and still haven't finished it.
