for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.
The Last Of Us part 1 and 2 and the Witcher 3

Did you play RDR1? I thought that one was much better than 2, story wise. Not that 2 was bad. Rockstar games are always good imo.
Baldur’s gate 3 is also in my top 3, story wise and how well it was made and time spent playing it. I finished the campaign 6 times now, 4 of which with friends playing couch coop.
Also Age of Empires 2 because when I was young I played that game for over at least 3000 hours (if not double) and I still play it sometimes. Just well balanced and lots of good memories from back then, having LAN parties with my friends and playing it for days.

I took into account the impact at the time of release as well as the timelessness of the games.

Morrowind - the first game that let me leave the path. It completely changed RPGs for me, and I loved it.
Solasta - this game captured the D&D feeling like no other game has. My wife and I have spent hundreds of hours playing this together.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard - this game touched me emotionally, more than any game before it. The whole 3rd act is an emotional rollercoaster. Plus it has one of my favorite action sequences ever, in The Siege of Weisshaupt.

Final Fantasy VII Kingdom Hearts II (or BBS depending on the day of the week) Persona 4 Golden
To be honest these three could be different any day of the week. I play more than just RPGs but because these are heavily story driven they stick in the front of my mind more when it comes to these questions.

- Skullgirls - Simply the best fighting game ever made. There’s so much depth in a comparatively small roster that I could basically never get bored or see every viable strategy in it.
- Baldur’s Gate 3 - Tried and true RPG mechanics combined with the best version yet of Larian’s engine that encourages free form problem solving. And on top of that, they managed best in class presentation in NPC dialogue and had some of the best writing in the genre. This will be a tough act to follow, especially since I don’t think their last two Original Sin RPG systems were anywhere near as good as D&D 5e.
- Elden Ring - It’s been a great couple of years for two of my favorite games of all time to come out within a year and a half of each other, but this is another one of those games where there’s just so much to see and so many ways to solve the problem in front of you. Pattern recognition for where to find your next reward is up to you; your next goal is up to you; how you conquer the bad guy in front of you is up to you.
All three of these games just respect your intelligence and are composed of systems deep enough to give you countless ways to solve their challenges.

Jump Ultimate Stars, this is the dream game for any Otaku, the fact that we can still play it in 2025 thanks to custom servers is a blessing.

God Of War 2018, I was having a bad streak gaming related due to personal and work life, but when this game was released I got it immediately, something that I rarely do (patient gamer gang), anyway, this game kept me awake late nights, I know this is not something that one should brag about, but I was enjoying it completely thus the nights felt that happened too quickly.
-
Toy Story 2, this game will never age for me, I honestly don’t know if it should deserve this spot, but if there is a game that I have replayed the most in my life, this would be it, the platform mechanics and graphics are top notch for me (and hey, PS1 graphics are making a comeback, so no shame at all with that style).
Maybe another game deserves that last spot, but those 3 games were the 1st ones that came to my mind.
Honorable mentions:
Mario Kart DS
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy
Hotel Dusk & The Last Window (can you guess my favorite console by this point?)
Pokémon Soul Silver
TWEWY
Time Hollow
All the other God of War games (even Ascension)
Batman Arkham saga (even Origins)
The Witcher 3
Xenoblade
And a bunch others that would make this list absurdly big, which is not the main point of this post.

- Gothic 2, and by extension, Chronicles of Myrtana
- The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth
- Both are equally as monumental, so it’s shared between Obra Dinn, and Outer Wilds
That being said, i’ve excluded any mmos out of this list, purely because sometimes i struggle to call them my favorite games, despite having playing several thousand hours of each. Some of them have been unbelievably impactful at certain times in my life, but i’m afraid the embers are getting cold now

- Mafia 1 from 2002, that game really shaped my taste in games when I was a kid
- Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Essentially a perfect video game from start to finish IMO.
- Alan Wake 1 or 2, genuinely hard to pick one.

Cyberpunk 2077, just by hours played and number of replays.

The Horizon games. I just adore the world and Aloy.
-
Great Gianna Sisters for hours played and the music.
I also loved the Portal games, they might be a contender for third place.

Haven’t played Gianna Sisters, but I’ve heard the soundtrack for the newest one was made by the incredible Machinae Supremacy.

Street Fighter II for getting me into fighting games. While I don’t play that version anymore it is a favorite because of how much I did play it and later fighting games.
Valheim - hundreds of hours of enjoyment from the first moment I was dropped into the world by a giant crow. So much fun time with friends, building stuff, and just exploring. Such a well done game with fantastic lighting, sound, and things to do. Only long tine gripe is fighting on slopes!
Helldivers 2 - yeah, another more recent game but it is also just the exact thing I am looking for in a mutiplayer game with friends. Nearly everything is viable in most difficulties, the game has mechanics for accidental team kills, the setting evolves, but in a way that encourages participation in scheduled events without forcing it, and the devs have listened when the player base pushes back on changes that don’t mesh with the tone of the game.
Enjoyed a lot of other games too, but those are ones that hit specific things that I love and enjoyable to replay over and over and over and over…
purplerabbit@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days ago
It’s hard to tell because I have played a lot of games but that comes to mind immediately right now. I would say:
- Red Dead Redemption 2.
- Garry’s Mod.
- Titanfall 2.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that I absolutely fell in love with and it’s one that I regularly go back to just lose myself in and still find new things in it.
Gary’s Mod is an odd pick for me because I almost thought about leaving it out because I cannot like don’t see it as a game. I have thousands of hours on it and most of my time has been spent exploring empty maps. It’s more of a tool of relaxation for me than anything else but it’s deeply meaningful to me. If I had to summarize it, I would say that the Source engine is my home.
Titanfall 2 is simply the best FPS I’ve ever played. Both multiplayer and solo. It’s amazing. I have spent weekends just playing the main campaign on max difficulty on loop without ever getting bored and the multiplayer was fucking fantastic.
<i'm gonna cheat and give some honorable mentions. :3>
- Thief: The Dark Project - Terraria - A Short Hike - Portal 2

If Titanfall 2 had full bot support, I would not play any other shooter…
