+1 on the Max Payne mention...great game!

Came out near the time of my favorite PC game, Unreal Tournament.

As far as arcade games, I'd say maybe Rygar or Dragon's Lair...but those are so old (like I am) that I might not be remembering them so well?

The OG X-Com is probably up there as a game that I keep coming back to. Especially after I learned about some of the total conversion mods for it.

By played hours the Binding Of Isaac probably.

By impact in my heart Metal Gear Solid.

That's a tough one to answer. I have to say league of legends, because it's always our friends fallback game.

But other favorites are:

• Terraria
• Subnautica
• Bravely Default
• Warcraft 3 - mainly the custom maps, we played so much of that
• Slay the spire

Baldurs Gate 3 anyone? I’m kind of shocked to not see it in here. I’ve never enjoyed a game more. Only sad thing is that there won’t be official dlcs or expansions… But then again there’s mod support! Other than that I really enjoy EU IV after 2k hours, but all-time-favorite? I don’t think so.

Probably Morrowind.

Properly distinct beast races, freedom to fuck up the world, really rewarding exploration, awesome scenery and concepts, great soundtrack, you can free slaves, and Argonians have never looked better overall.

Second place, probably Red Dead Redemption 2. Every single aspect of that game is outstanding. The pacing, the story, the characters, the combat, the exploration, the horse genitals, the music, the graphics, the massive scale of the world.. Just truly a masterpiece of a game, and I think Rockstar will never surpass it.

Honorable mentions for Caves of Qud, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7 (original AND remake/rebirth) and Starflight (mostly played on C64 but Genesis/Megadrive version is far better)

Oh, fuck, and Silent Hill 2, that's somewhere in the top three. Both original and remake. Fucking exceptional works of art.

Morrowind. One of the few games you can fail the main quest by going on a rampage or by selling the wrong item.

I like many types of games. My favorites are probably Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, Quake, Super Metroid, and Super Mario World.

Best single game is probably Portal. The pacing, storytelling, innovation, sound, all are top notch even 20+ years later. Graphics aren't phenomenal, but don't need to be. The challenges and easter eggs made it a blast to 100%.

Oh man, same problem. I can't decide what I like more there are just too many good ones. The Witcher 3 is definitely up there for me too, but then I think about Red Dead Redemption 2 and how insanely detailed that world is, and I start second-guessing everything. Then there’s Elden Ring, which just blew my mind with how massive and rewarding it felt to explore. But if I want something more casual, I always go back to Stardew Valley or Hollow Knight both just have that perfect mix of chill and challenge. And of course, Mass Effect 2 still holds a special place in my heart. Also, I like to play online pokies from time to time. This page has some pretty cool no deposit bonus options if you’re into that kind of thing.

What kind of games do you find yourself replaying the most? Do you go back to the same favorites, or do you always try to play something new?

It is crazy to me that Diablo 2 was not mentioned, yet. Second place: Modded Minecraft.

definitely Deus Ex

but also The 7th Guest lol
