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).
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
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.
Barbie horse adventures
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.
Vagrant Story.
That game is one of my saddest histories. As a bit to young to play it I bought it and found it immensely boring just slogging through the dungeon at the start. Didn’t understand the weapon system. Eventually after several tries I got into the city proper but couldn’t handle that first boss fight. Put it aside and never picked it back up again. Still have the game somewhere. No PSOne tho’
You need to carry one of each weapon type. Unlike most games you can’t brute force through weapon resistances.
Minecraft, circa 2015. It was a religion.
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…
Metal Gear Solid 3
Star Control 2
The Ur-Quan Masters
Free Stars
Space station 13
Tie between Final Fantasy X and Morrowind.

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.
I was always a discworld mud player… Lots of time there. But I bounced around many :-P
I tried finding others but kept coming back to the one. Helped that i read a lot of fantasy and they used a lot of content i was already familiar with, but it was also the remorting system that entranced me
Yeah, there was something special about the communities that built up around these games…
I simply cannot agree more
Slay The Spire. Really excited for the sequel.
