I love variety and I could never point to one game being my favorite. What about you guys? :3
American McGee’s Alice.
I love the atmosphere, the game play, and the soundtrack. It is awesome 🤘
Yup, Super Metroid. Game is basically perfect. i have other near favorites like Hollow Knight and Dead Cells that have generally remained in place too, but Super Metroid is amazing and always a fun, perfectly atmospheric time.
I played a bunch of 2D Metroid this year for the first time. Super Metroid definitely stood out as the best of the bunch, although I did miss some of the quality of life features from Zero Mission.
I used to say it was a toss up between A Link to the Past, Secret of Mana, and Super Metroid, because they’re all 10/10 games. I just haven’t been able to do the latter two lately. They’re not hard, I just don’t stick with them.
If you also play A Link to the Past, you should know there is a Randomiser that combines them. You start in Super Metroid. Going into a map room takes you to a random fortune teller and vice versa. The way both games are coded, none of their items share an ID, so you can find Metroid items in Zelda and Zelda items in Metroid. And it just works. Of course Link can’t use power bombs and Samus can’t use the Hookshot. The items are game specific. The goal is to beat Ganon and then Mother Brain and escape. I really can’t do that one.
Chrono Trigger not being present in the toss-up here is nearly a crime. If you like the others that you’ve mentioned, and haven’t played that one, definitely do. I don’t know if I’d call it my favorite game ever, but it’s very easily top 10, and might be my #1 top choice for the SNES.
I don’t disagree that Chrono Trigger is the better/more well received game, I beat it once (got one ending of, what, 13?), but I don’t like turn based. I do like Chrono Trigger, but I don’t love it. Of course it’s an essential SNES title, just not my genre.
Wat do you mean randomizer?
Can’t pick one but my top are: Fallout New Vegas, Destroy All Humans 2, Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal, Kingdom Hearts 2, Halo ODST, BG3, and Saints Row 4.
Seeing Saints Row 4 here is interesting. I liked the game, but SR3 will always be my favorite. :D
I just like the ability to fuck around, especially with super powers lol
Tough one actually,
I got a few, but these are my top picks:
-
OG GTA San Andreas (IMHO, the best map and story) has lots of stuff to do, including an online community long before GTA Online was a thing.
-
Sleeping Dogs (quite an underrated game even though it is getting more attention recently).
-
An old-school platformer one: Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (great OST, fun game to play)
The main theme of Jazz 2 is an absolute banger! Done by Alexander Brandon, I believe? Which makes sense since he did a lot of the music for Unreal Tournament too.
You, Sir, have a great taste. I’m currently going for 100%-achievements in GTA4, and after that I’ll try Sleeping Dogs. Now I’m really hyped!
You won’tt be disappointed my friend. Also you might want to play the definitive edition of Sleeping Dogs.
SL has good story writing and recognizable sidequests. Don’t forget those, cause some are straight bangers. (Both cultural and cinema references).

Difficult to choose a single one. But a game that has been my stable side game for ages, that I constantly keep in circulation and that no other game has come close to replicating the feel of for me has been Enter the Gungeon.
Zelda 3: A Link to the Past for classics and Cyberpunk 2077 for modern. Though Deus Ex is also a classic now.
Sanctum 2. Though I do wish for a graphics update.
Star Control II (1992)
Still hasn’t been beaten yet due to the humor, immersion and in my opinion sublime story,
although “We Love Katamari” came very close with its humor,
enormous fun gameplay and awesome music.Same goes for “Super Smash Bros. Melee”.
I never owned the game.
I first played it because I decided to join a
3-day LAN party without knowing what was expected,
so I immediately decided to return home with my old laptop until I noticed
this single couch stuffed in the corner with only one game playing for anyone to join,
48 hours later with only a few occasional breaks of 4+ friend groups prying me from the couch,
I decided that the LAN party was still somewhat a success
and that I needed to go home and sleep all Sunday.I Will forever call Star Control II “The best game of the 20th century”
Though I have to admit that I practically stopped playing computer games
when World of Warcraft came out.Came here to say Star Control II! Did you see the original devs are making a sequel? I actually started a community for it (and the classic games) on here.
Where?
Terraria is so good, I keep going back to it. Subnautica is also amazing.
I always have a heavily modded skyrim running on every machine I game on. No mater what I can play that game over and over.
Expedition 33 quickly eclipsed anything that could have been considered my favorite game last year.
Pure art.
One of the best games I’ve ever played. Absolutely loved it.
I can’t say it’s my favorite cause nothing will ever beat Diablo 2 but it’s definitely top 5.
completely fair. i had to be very honest with myself to be able to say that (for me) it beats all my favorite games from childhood
Fo sho.
Hard to choose from these three: Planescape Torment. Disco Elysium. World of Warcraft Vanilla.
and maybe MGS4 on PS3 was good. :)
Ive been telling people that Disco Elysium is “basically planescape torment but without the party and combat”
FF7 (original)
Had to scroll way too long to find this. I played this as my first RPG as a 14 year old and it blew my mind, it obviously looks dated now but the depth and cutscenes blew my mind at the time.
Overall, bg3. Looking back all the way to pong, I haven’t had as much fun for as long as with bg3.
Not that I want to play it every single time I put in game time. I do like variety too. But in terms of sheer joy of play, bg3 just hits the right points.
I can maybe see a future game topping it, though I suspect that would be a rarity what with the things in games that really hit for me being hard to find in one game. Even bg3 doesn’t hit every single thing that I love in games, it just hits the most important ones. It’s not perfect, but I’ve never required that in a game.

And it’s not even close
