    Factorio. 10k hours and I still play it over and over again when I get cravings or when there’s. No other games to play.

    2nd is Minecraft and 3rd is rimworld

    Of course all of them HEAVILY modded.

          Slap on an allthemods for Minecraft any day. Ive told myself I need to beat factorio and rimworld first before I do a modded playthrough (rimworld I did, but still chugging through space age). Otherwise I’ve really enjoyed the multi-player rimworld mod

            If you need any help with any of it message me, besides rimworld I know some stuff but I been having problems with nodding it on my Linux install for some reason. I played a shit tons of different mod packs on Minecraft. Allthemods is the best all around mod pack although easy for me. Expert packs are fun though.

    Yup, Super Metroid. Game is basically perfect. i have other near favorites like Hollow Knight and Dead Cells that have generally remained in place too, but Super Metroid is amazing and always a fun, perfectly atmospheric time.

      I played a bunch of 2D Metroid this year for the first time. Super Metroid definitely stood out as the best of the bunch, although I did miss some of the quality of life features from Zero Mission.

    Deus Ex, Cyberpunk 2077, Surviving Mars, Stellaris and SWTOR.

    All of them are my favourite game of all time.

    It used to be Counter-Strike but now I think it’s Deadlock.

    The game is still in closed beta but valve really nailed everything about it. The movement, the combat, the strategy, the art style. I wish I had young kid’s reflexes still but even so the game is absolutely brilliant.

      That game absolutely took over my life in terms of games. I liked it from the first minute, because of the art style, movement and all, but i didn’t really get it. I started to get it, and when i really got it, i was like holy shit. The game is so deep, just in terms of movement and tech in the game.

      Point of clarity for anyone interested: the game is in an invite-only beta. BUT the unofficial discord has people who can invite you. So feel free to come check it out. It’s great :)

        You can also go to steam page -> dicussions and there are hundreds of invite threads in the forum. Just add friends any of the people there and they’ll give you an invite. The etiquette is to givr a small item (cs, tf2 etc.) in exchange for it so don’t be surprised if they ask you for a donation. Either way it’s worth it!

    Dragon Age Origins. A lot of game came close to it afterwards in my heart but couldn’t beat it. (Like The Witcher 3, The Legend of Zelda Breath of The Wilds and Mass Effect 2)

      I genuinely enjoyed every Dragon Age game in its own right (yes, even Veilguard), but agree that DA:O has some kind of special sauce that just couldn’t be recreated afterwards.

      Had to scroll way too long to find this. I played this as my first RPG as a 14 year old and it blew my mind, it obviously looks dated now but the depth and cutscenes blew my mind at the time.

    Can’t pick one but my top are: Fallout New Vegas, Destroy All Humans 2, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Kingdom Hearts 2, Halo ODST, BG3, and Saints Row 4.

    Edit: can’t believe I forgot Okami, Infamous Second Son, and Simpsons Hit and Run.

      Played it before the expansion then several times with. Have been running through the new Gothic 1 remake all week. Most faithful remake I’ve ever seen, but the magic is even worse than before. Play melee or archer and the nostalgia is amazing.

        Oh right I forgot they were making a remake… how is it?

        If you want more classic Gothic I would recommend the Chronicles of Myrtana mod.

          I had no hope it would ever happen, then suddenly saw it released. It’s buggy, and you can lock yourself out of joining any camp, and it’s beautiful. My memory tells me 99% of it is identical to the original game, and that it looked just like this… but comparing this looks way better.

          Really shocked how much they nailed it, including the occasional bugs and trying to figure out how to get around issues. They mainly updated graphics but not so much mechanics. Using a controller you use the 4 buttons as the 4 attacks that used to be Ctrl+arrow keys. Definitely hoping they keep going and give G2 NotR the same update.

    Expedition 33 quickly eclipsed anything that could have been considered my favorite game last year.

    Pure art.

    Difficult to choose a single one. But a game that has been my stable side game for ages, that I constantly keep in circulation and that no other game has come close to replicating the feel of for me has been Enter the Gungeon.

    Tough one actually,

    I got a few, but these are my top picks:

    • OG GTA San Andreas (IMHO, the best map and story) has lots of stuff to do, including an online community long before GTA Online was a thing.

    • Sleeping Dogs (quite an underrated game even though it is getting more attention recently).

    • An old-school platformer one: Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (great OST, fun game to play)

      You, Sir, have a great taste. I’m currently going for 100%-achievements in GTA4, and after that I’ll try Sleeping Dogs. Now I’m really hyped!

        You won’tt be disappointed my friend. Also you might want to play the definitive edition of Sleeping Dogs.

        SL has good story writing and recognizable sidequests. Don’t forget those, cause some are straight bangers. (Both cultural and cinema references).

      The main theme of Jazz 2 is an absolute banger! Done by Alexander Brandon, I believe? Which makes sense since he did a lot of the music for Unreal Tournament too.

    Hard to choose from these three: Planescape Torment. Disco Elysium. World of Warcraft Vanilla.

    and maybe MGS4 on PS3 was good. :)

      Ive been telling people that Disco Elysium is “basically planescape torment but without the party and combat”
