Ocarina of Time. I’m biased because of nostalgia, but I genuinely think it’s the best game ever created. It took everything that was great about the SNES classic A Link To the Past, brought it into 3D as an early N64 game, and improved literally everything. The atmosphere, the gameplay, the story, the time mechanic, the music… It’s not perfect, in fact these days it’s trivial to break many things in it with glitches, but I think it’s absolutely the best.

A lot of folks are listing their favorite games but this is the one that truly fits. Unusually long development time by a studio known for DnD-simmiliar RPG games getting the next installation for the series that defined the genre. Cast voice actors for several years, ones that are still playing their characters on a variety of platforms. And just chock filled references, in-jokes, and faithful updates on old characters.
Everyone involved with it clearly loved what they were doing.

It got people not previously interested in DND to actually enjoy DND.

Also, as a literal interpretation, it occurs over 3 arcs.

Unusually long development time
No joke, I installed the open-beta/pre-release years ago, played for a bit, and uninstalled it. When the actual release dropped, I had the most intense déjà vu about it all because I forgot that had even happened. I had to go back to my Steam library to puzzle it all back together.

As far as labors of love go, Stardew Valley is probably the most current example. People paid for this thing years ago, but Concerned Ape keeps adding new features anyway. The retro graphics give this thing a timeless quality out of the box, so it already looks “dated” - this hasn’t stopped the robust player community around it. We’ll probably see this game stay relevant for a long time.

And that’s before you start talking about modding the game.
The amount of mods for this game is insane. From simple QoL stuff through to full expansions.
No replay of the game has to be the same again.

Age of Empires 2, despite being Microsoft owned, is easily one of the best strategy games of all time and has very clearly stood the test of time. It’s over 25 years old and people kept playing it a lot even before the HD remakes. I remember reading that the folks that made the 1st game often had to choose between “actual history or hollywood history” for some details, often going for hollywood because it made for a more fun experience.
I suspect Factorio might stand the test of time as well, and it’s clearly something made by someone who really understands the medium. I haven’t begun my factory yet.

I’d argue there isn’t one. Not on the scale of LotR. It cannot be overstated how unlikely it was that it happened the way it did.
RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 1 hour ago
The Witcher universe is nearly an identical type of Norse style fantasy, with elves, dwarves, and giants, and 3 is a long epic quest across 3 huge regions. One of my first thoughts when I first played was that it feels like LOTR meets Game of Thrones.

Woah. Would you really put Expedition 33 in the same class as the other two? This is the highest indirect praise I’ve seen of the game.
criss_cross@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
I would too. It’s just really well crafted world building , story, and side content. There’s so much to do and all of it feels fun.
shneancy@lemmy.world 13 hours ago
absolutely!
it’s of course a very different game from the other two but brilliant nonetheless
i dislike turn based combat, i dislike jrpg, but Expedition 33? i adore. the world building, the story, the voice acting- are absolutely incredible. It’s one of those lightnings in a bottle that suddenly appear out of seemingly nowhere

man i tried so many times and couldn’t get into outer wilds. it’s so fucking boring to get started that when things start getting even remotely interesting I’m already checked out.
shneancy@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Outer Wilds is best started on rainy evenings around late summer, it took me a couple of tries to get into it as well, i bounced off at least 2 times. but the 3rd time it grabbed me and now it’s my all time favourite game.
basically, don’t stress it :) it’s a brilliant game and honestly after you finish it one day you’ll long for the time when it was still ahead of you as you can only play it once for the first time
