It’s hard to think about a 2nd and 3rd game, but the number 1 game that has influenced my life is WoW. As bad as it is nowadays, and has been for a while I still can’t really imagine not playing this game in some way. I’ve had an active subscription for probably 95% of the time for the last 14 years, and the release of classic only ignited my love for this version of WoW. I even stuck to Era when servers transitioned to TBC because I wanted to play classic so badly I put up with playing on a server that had like 2 guilds total in the beginning.
Though I started playing FF14 a couple months ago, and while some issues are similar to retail it seems a lot more like it has old-school communities. Maybe I’ll get used to the (imo inferior) PvE design, which is the main reason I don’t see it as my new main game yet.
Other than that maybe Portal (1 & 2), H1Z1 or og MW2 I guess, just for how fondly I look back to the time when I played them.
