    Factorio.

    Dwarf fortress but I haven’t played that in a long time. It will outlast most other games however.

    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

      Portal is amazing, also the community DLC but unfortunately not my greatest.

      I’d go with something like Satisfactory or Dota 2 (gasp).

    My favorite game, the game I can always come back to, is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind

    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.

    Tomb Raider 1.

    I’m replaying the remastered trilogy for the first time since I was a teenager. The level design is outstanding. Very clever re-use of the same areas, just at different heights.

    It’s inspiration from side-scroller prince of persia (also played this obsessively as a young child) is palpable. The movement system is revolutionary.

    And the enemy progression is hilarious. First you fight some bats, then you fight some wolves, then you fight motherfucking Velociraptors, then a goddamned T-Rex. And thats not even close to the weirdest enemy you’ll fight. Boss battles are evenly spaced until they aren’t. when you have two boss battles immediately one after the other.

    And then eventiually, you get to the pulsating flesh caves…
