  I’d say Baldur’s Gate 3.

  With Demons’ Souls a close second. For those of us who got to play that game before Dark Souls came out, when we knew next to nothing about what to expect, it was an almost revelatory experience.

  There are a lot of ways to measure that.

  I guess one reasonable metric is how long I probably played it. Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far and an old computer pinball game, Loony Labyrinth probably rank pretty highly.

  Another might be how long after its development it’s still considered reasonably playable. I’d guess that maybe something like Tetris or Pac-Man might rate well there.

  Another might be how influential the game is. I think that “genre-defining” games like Wolfenstein 3D would probably win there.

  Another might be how impressed I was with a game at the time of release. Games that made major technical or gameplay leaps would rank well there. Maybe Wolfenstein 3D or Myst.

  Another might be what the games I play today are – at least once having played them sufficiently to become familiar with them – since presumably I could play pretty much any game out there, and so my choice, if made rationally, should identify the best options for me that I’m aware of. That won’t work for every sort of genre, as it requires replayability – an adventure game where experiencing the story one time through is kind of the point would fall down here – but I think that it’s a decent test of the library of games out there. Recently I’ve played Steel Division II singleplayer, Carrier Command 2 singleplayer, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, and Shattered Pixel Dungeon. RimWorld and Oxygen Not Included tend to be in the recurring cycle.

    The greatest single-playthrough game would be a fun category. I think my picks for that might be What Remains of Edith Finch, Gone Home, Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars, or Grim Fandango. Fire Watch would probably get an honourable mention.

    A "pinacle of a (mostly) defunct genre" category might be a good one too. I would argue that Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2 is the best isometric RTS games ever made.

    I’ve only seen the show. Is the game as good as the show?

      The game was better than the show, which the show was actually based from. I liked the show too, but definitely give the game a go if you get a chance.

      The second game was a very difficult storyline to play through, however. I’m glad I did, but temper your expectations and expect to suffer a lot. Lol

      I have only play Last of Us 1 during PS3 era. I was a 20 year old kid back then I guess. I cried and sobbed through the game. I remember it having such a huge emotional impact on me. May be I was way too emotionally disturbed at that time, who knows.

      Your mileage may vary, but i thoroughly enjoyed the game. Didn’t enjoy the show as much.

    I was always a discworld mud player… Lots of time there. But I bounced around many :⁠-⁠P

      I tried finding others but kept coming back to the one. Helped that i read a lot of fantasy and they used a lot of content i was already familiar with, but it was also the remorting system that entranced me

  Asking for the “greatest” sounds quite pretentious

  It’s probably why people are downvoting this thread

  Recently, I would say Roadwarden, was such a great game with such a unique feel to it.

  My personal favorite will probably always remain the Mass effect trilogy.
