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).
Dwarf Fortress.
They’re even making sequels to “the carp stands up” now. They added exercise to the game, and now carps get fucking ripped as fuck just swimming upstream, so when they start walking on land they’re there to just destroy you and everything you hold dear.
I wasn’t going to say df but I’m realising now after thousands of hours in that game there’s STILL new things to learn, that was a wild ride thank you
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.

Nothing left to see here folks. Question answered correctly. Let’s all move along.
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

I feel compelled to mention Luanti here, just in case it’s not on your radar. Also VoxLibre.
It’s uh, well it’s done.
And it’s fully open source so it continues to grow.
And it’s lighter and faster and has cleaner network code than MineCraft.
And it doesn’t have M$ enshitifying it.
Disclaimer: I love this game and want to see the community grow and grow forever. It’s so good and I want to keep playing it until I die.
Edit: I forgot to mention it’s completely free and runs great on Windows, Linux, SteamDeck and Android.
Otherwise known as M$
Boulderdash II on C64.
And later, Emerald Mine on the Amiga. So many hours of my life, gone.
I never had a C64 and was pretty jealous of this series.
I played a few DOS based clones and various ports and they were pretty cool but from what I’ve seen everything they’ve done with the franchise since 2000 has been soulless.
Team Fortress 2
Minecraft, circa 2015. It was a religion.
Ooh. Good pick.
I satisfy my nostalgia for previous versions of Minecraft with Luanti.
Star Control 2
The Ur-Quan Masters
Free Stars
Deus Ex
Barbie horse adventures
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…
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.
My favorite game, the game I can always come back to, is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind
Wealth beyond measure, sera.
WHAT A GRAND AN INTOXICATING ANSWER
Cyberpunk 2077 for me, it has everything, an amazing story with great characters, fantastic gameplay, a banger soundtrack, and an interesting world that’s fun to explore and feels like a real place.
