Tony Hawk Pro Skater 3

Katamari Damacy

In no real particular order, games with highest impact on me:

  1. battlefield 1942 - desert combat mod

Ground breaking at the time. Physics and gamespeed have never been captured by any other game. Consumed my free time for a long time.

2 counter strike

Simple concept, extreme depth. I've clocked several thousand hours into this franchise.

  1. The witcher 3

In terms of world building and story telling... Incredible.

  1. The Witness

Absolute masterclass in game design, world design. Puzzle design.. This is an incredible puzzle game that will shift your perspective.

  1. Faster than light

I haven't found anything else quite scratch that replay ability, that tethering on the brink of losing, itch. It's a unique game.

  1. Guild wars 2

Completely changed the way mmorpgs were played, and was a great mmo.

  1. Monkey Island

I wanted to mention a point and click, several spring to mind, but this still series lives in my mind the most. Although space quest is another that impacted my young brain.

  1. Minecraft

Like... I was there since its debut. Still watching and enjoying mc related content.

  1. Elite

Space is pretty big and cool

  1. Eve online

Getting back stabbed by the person you've been back stabbing for, so you join the enemies of your friends to be able to backstab your backstabbers.

Hylics 1/2

Half Life 1

Myst

Jet Set Radio Future

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk

Factorio

Doom II (heavily modded)

OpenRCT2

Voices of the Void

The Sims (I like the series as a whole, I feel like each game has its own pros and cons)

[โ€“] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it's a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those. Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven't actually engaged with a game this hard for decades. Senua's Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love. Doom 2016 - What's not to like. It's perfect. Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay. HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun. Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
I know I am short of 10, but I can't think of anything else.

You people lack some serious games:

  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • Silent Hill 1-2-3
  • Monkey Island 1-2-3
  • Outer Wilds (happy to see it on many list)
  • Alley Cat
[โ€“] kugel7c@feddit.de 2 points 6 months ago

Separated into top 5 and the rest.

  • Slay the Spire
  • BeamNg
  • Trackmania (not any of the games specifically more the concept)
  • Disco Elysium
  • Portal 2

  • Balatro probably
  • FTL
  • Mario Kart (8 and/or Wii)
  • Maybe Baldus gate 3
  • Thalos principle 2

The hearthstone battlegrounds auto battler mode is perhaps also in here but hearthstone itself I've never played.
