Stellaris. It’s been “that game” for me practically as long as I’ve been into gaming. I’ve got nearly 1000 hours on Steam alone.
Morrowind
One of my two favorite games of all time. I wish I could unlearn how to play. Some of my best memories are scavenging for anything remotely valuable and finding myself somewhere I shouldn’t be at that level.
For me, it’s any of the Total War games I like, or Battlefield 1, or Left 4 Dead 2, or any From Soulslike.
I like to call them evergreen games, because I’m a total snob. The kinds of games that you can always go back to no matter how long it’s been, that you always know how to play by instinct at this point, that always entertain, feel weirdly comfy and make for great choices when you don’t know what you wanna do. God bless them.
Which total wars though
That’s a decently long list lol, Medieval 2, Rome 1, Rome 2, Attila, Napoleon, Shogun 2 sorta… (I don’t dislike the ones not listed, I just vibe less with them)
If you count mods and expansions, the list gets much larger, Medieval 2 Kingdoms, Empire Divided, Age of Charlemagne, The Great War, Divide Et Impera, 1212, 1100, The Third Age… And there are even more that have piqued my interest but haven’t had a chance to play.
Aaaah it’s such a rich series!
KSP with the realism overhaul mod and realistic progression 1.
I just never get over the beauty of seeing a dual centaur upper stage gently drift away from an atlas booster before lighting up those stunning twin blue flames, careening deep in to the abyss of space.
No need to change the meme, heroes 3 it is. A few other games as well but heroes doesn’t get old.
Slay The Spire
The Binding of Isaac
Or Slay the Spire, if I want a turn based game.
You should check out Across the Obelisk, it’s a beefed up version of StS and I really think it’s heavily overlooked
That be Binding of Isaac for me. I have 1000 games installed so it’s even harder to get lost.
Minecraft. It’s so dang cozy to me.
Playing Heroes of the Storm vs AI, the Hitman WoA trilogy, Left 4 Dead 2, and Diablo 3 Hardcore. I can always chill on this stuff and know it’ll be a good time
Ahh HOTS, the only MOBA I really enjoyed. To bad it never really took off and Blizz stopped development.
It’s funnily enough part of why I continue to return to it. Competitive games as a service are too much, I dislike having to keep up with an ever inflating hero pool and a constantly changing Meta. I can just enjoy the gameplay polished to a sheen and the natural depth
Deus Ex:Human Revolution. I know every part of that game and still find some fun paths/solutions I didn’t know about, comforting with a bit of variety every time!
ROCK and STONE to the bone
That’s it lads! Rock and Stone!
Final Fantasy games. I’ve replayed FFV and VIII, restarted X and XII, and started XVI within the last year.
It was Diablo for me, but D4 just doesn’t scratch that right itch for me at the moment. Still play it from time to time but not as religiously as I did with the other entries.
Enter the gungeon I also play a lot over starting a new game.
but D4 just doesn’t scratch that right itch for me at the moment.
Try Grim Dawn. The graphics are mildly dated, but it’s my favorite entry in the ARPG genre. Tons of replayability.
Looks at 1000 hours of Arma 3.
Just one more King of the Hill match.
