I feel like my “all-time favorite” changes depending on my mood, but if I had to pick just one, I’d probably go with The Witcher 3. That game just hit all the right notes—amazing story, incredible world-building, and so much stuff to do without feeling like pointless filler. Plus, the expansions were just as good, if not better than the base game.
What about you? Are you more into RPGs, shooters, or something else entirely?
Fez! I love the low stress puzzle game. I think it’s beautiful and smart. I love that it was made by one guy. It’s too bad he got burnt out and quit. He is very talented.
Based on play and replay, it seems to be either Payday 2 or Borderlands 2.
Payday2, especially if you have tons of builds and DLC, is a fantastic brain-off mob shooter where you can slightly improve/perfect your build and gameplay with each run. For some reason it just works for me.
Borderlands 2: fun guns; solid story; visuals and mechanics that mostly hold up today. It’s just a good time and another skill-tree builder game where you get to feel like a god if you’ve assembled your skill tree right. The NG+ modes are a bit of a slog, but playthrough 1 is just a solid time.
La-Mulana would have to be one of my top picks. With the catchy music, the “fuck you” difficulty, and the classic adventure theme really makes it stand out in my mind.
I mean Skyrim is kinda cool
I think Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom was amazing. The only gripe I have is that the Switch just can’t handle it very well.
It’s hard to answer this because if you’d asked me 5 years ago my answer would be different (not just because TotK hadn’t released) because my tastes change.
I call it a tie between The Last of Us and Uncharted 2. These are two of the most fun games I’ve ever played for totally different reasons.
Uncharted 2 was a lot of a great adventure, and loads of fun with great characters, while The Last of Us games were extremely emotional and I was totally invested in the characters and story.
I like many types of games. My favorites are probably Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Super Metroid, and Super Mario World.
All time faves, it’s a toss up between Fallout: New Vegas and RDR2.
Those two are the ones I still enjoy restarting new games in, and still enjoy playing, despite the cumulative hours logged over the years.
Very special mention to Skyrim though, obviously. I think I’ve logged more hours in Skyrim than the two above, potentially combined, but because I played that so much, I no longer have the desire to play it again whereas when I’m stressed at work, I often find myself daydreaming about riding my good boah through fields of lush grass and fishing in my lil boat.
And I would never have developed the love of gaming I have today if it wasn’t for Oblivion, of all games - so for nostalgia, that gets a mention too.
I’m with you that my favorite changes with my mood but probably final fantasy tactics. Story is great, graphics have aged like wine, great variation in play styles, the death cries of my enemies will always play like music to me.
I play and enjoy most genres at this point, but my favorite has to be Skullgirls. There are 18 characters and so many ways to combine them that you can still come up with new strategies in this game over a decade after its release.
Oooh very difficult. For representing moments in time rather than necessarily being the best overall games, I’d say one of Rome: Total War, Dino Crisis, San Andreas, Oblivion, and Mass Effect
Kingdom come deliverance 2
My previous favorite game was Kingdom come deliverance 1
Really looking forward to playing this
My all-time favorite game is Factorio. If I were stranded on a deserted island and could bring only one game, it would undoubtedly be Factorio. That said, Crusader Kings II will always hold a special place in my heart—even though I tried diving into Crusader Kings III, it just never captured the same magic.
With endless replay. Rollercoaster Tycoon 1&2. Shout out to Open RCT (sim city 3000 is a close second)
Console favourite- The Legend of Zelda Links Awakening
Sound track - Chrono Trigger
That long play (where you forget what you were doing if you put the game down) - Metroid Fusion/Prime
Pokemon - Emerald or Soul Silver depending on my mood.
Probably Metroid Prime but some days I think it is Dark Souls 1. Both are similar in terms of trying to embody an adventure with strong environmental storh telling.
Take a guess
My favorite game is actually 3. The mass effect trilogy. I designed my first tattoo around the n7 renegade and paragon symbols. Second is definitely Mario bros 3. Still play it every once in a while.
All time favorite game is so hard to narrow down. I’d traditionally always say Mario 3 and I stand behind that but there are so many great games that stand beside it. Donkey Kong Country, Half Life, San Andreas, red dead redemption 1 and 2.
I think if I was trapped on a desert island, I’d be fine with any of these as my only game

I can’t choose an absolute favorite. But it’s a toss up between the Mass Effect Trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher (in partiuclarly 3f th) and (most) oe Fallout games. If you were to put a gun to my head I’d probably pick either Mass Effect or Cyberpunk 2077.
