Warcraft 3 (RIP)
Skyrim
Xcom 2
Honorable mentions: Heroes of Newerth (RIP), Starcraft 2, Mass Effect trilogy & Dragon Age series
I have lost so much time to XCOM loading. I cannot WAIT for an XCOM 3 with this in mind. Will gladly lose another 250 hours of my life.
I used to have to wait 5~10 minutes on the loading screens before missions before when I didn't have an SSD and only 8gb RAM
TF2, TF2, TF2.
Battlefield heroes, csgo and smash.
Battlefield heroes may not be remembered as one of the greats by all but it was my first shooter which got introduced to me by my grandp. Many happy memories playing games with him and my cousin
Borderlands 1 on xbox360 specifically.
Pokemon Uranium (my absolute favorite pokemon fan game)
Star Wars Battlefront II on PS2 because I never had an original Xbox
Though, it's a tie between Battle Front II and the Sonic Mega Collection on GameCube.
ICO
Silent Hill 2
Eve Online
Rdr2 TLoU p2 Batman Arkham Knight
RDR2, Portal, Monkey Island 2.
- The Witcher 3
- Final Fantasy 7 (Remake)
- Pokemon Emerald
Generally, I would feel there's a void after playing something special. The emptiness after finishing the game is hard to describe.
World of Warcraft Baldurs Gate 3
Sorry only got two.
Dark Souls
Diablo II
Binding of Isaac
Bioshock (series) for the incredible story, world building, how they explored philosophical concepts in a video game.
Mass Effect (trilogy) also had a really great story, I really enjoyed how it went from some small events that didn't seem imporant to such a grand scale where you have to save the freaking universe.
Control which had a really interesting story, incredibly good looking and creative graphics, and some truly epic moments.
And I have to add a honorable mention for Factorio and Kerbal Space Program... Factorio really tickles my engineering mind, and KSP does an incredibly good job at teaching how rockets work.
You play Alan Wake 2 yet?!
Idk, Probably Assassins Creed 2, Celeste and OneShot
Top 3 lifetime?
Majesty the Kingdom Sim My first real game that I got any good at. From the era of top down builders like simcity and such. It's probably not as robust as many other games buy it was by far the most influential game that taught resource management t
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time The n64 was the first home console I got, and this was, as probably many people, first foray into an "open world" other than Mario 64. It was also harder than any other game I'd played before and in retrospective I greatly enjoyed platformers later.
Ratchet: Deadlocked I love the series, I have almost all of them. But this was the culmination of the combat and Upgrade systems and mods that 2 introduced. The black sheep failure of the series, remains probably my most played and most devoted to getting Platinum for.
True games that game complete, without fucking bullshit transactions of cut content designed to suck my wallet dry.
Honorable mentions: Monster Hunter World and Elden Ring Feature rich and challenging. I had never played a Souls game and these 2 were perfect first games for it. I would not have liked these games when I was younger, but now that I'm older and able to plan builds and map progressions, these are great games.
Horizon The Forbidden West I really like the robot dinos. The story's fine but man the time that went into coming up with "what animals would make great machones" is a creative meeting I'd loved to have been part of. FW builds on its source material in a way most sequels fail. The changing of machines to the "I'm tired of being everyone's savior but noone else can do it" should resonate with most adults I think.
Onimusha Lost odyssey FF X
Rocket League, Portal 2, and Destiny
KOTOR, Half Life 2, Breath of the Wild.
Zelda OoT and MM. I count them together cuz they're og and sequel. I love going back and forth as kid/adult. And unique mask powers. Completely different world in both games but you see all sort of parallel between them.
Jak 2 & 3. Story and gameplay was so good for me. It's kinda like GTA but it's own style. You can steal vehicles, get weapons, ammos, doing missions, etc. I do love GTA SA too. But Jak just hit different for me.
Star ocean til the end of the time. One of longest post main contents I ever played. Unique playstyle and multiple endings.
I don't think I can narrow it to 3 but here's a few of my favorites: Original legend of Zelda Metroid N64 Golden eye 007 Halo Katamari Battlefield 2/3 The borderland games Zelda botw/totk (let's face it, almost all the Zelda games have been pretty great)
Dwarf fortress, Factorio and Transport tycoon deluxe (or open ttd).
D.C. universe online, Arkam asylum, and the spider man (2018)
DCUO I had insane hours on with an amazing team of people
Batman Arkam asylum was such a leap forward in super hero fighting games I remember replaying the demo non stop until the game was released
Spider man (2018) really took ahold of that fighting fluidity that arkam asylum introduced and enhanced it with a nimble character and a great story line that was engaging and trophies that were fun to go after.
GTA IV Oblivion Fallout 3
