In no particular order:

  • Hero's Quest (from Sierra On-line)
  • Valheim
  • Fallout: New Vegas
  • Skyrim
  • No Man's Sky
  • City of Heroes (can you believe it's legally back?!?)
  • Red Dead Redemption II
  • Planescape: Torment
  • Stardew Valley
  • Starfield

(I'm sure that last one will raise some eyebrows, but I've already got over 1k hours in it since launch. For all its faults, it scratches some itch of mine just right.)

I have not kept up with gaming much for the past decade, so my list is going to be very dated. In no particular order:

  • Starsiege: Tribes (Tribes 2 gets an honorable mention)
  • EarthSiege 2
  • EverQuest (very begrudgingly, but it did kick the era of MMORPGs into overdrive, and I was addicted to it for almost a decade)
  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
  • Mass Effect Legendary Edition (I'm counting the trilogy as a single game)
  • X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter
  • Open Transport Tycoon Deluxe
  • Cities: Skylines
  • Star Trek Online (only because of storylines)
  • Battlefield 1942

No console games on my list, because PCMR! :P

[Edit] Almost forgot Star Control 2!

[โ€“] chahk@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

I have a whole separate list for arcade games.

  • Mortal Kombat (including only 1, 2, and 3. Hated 4 with a passion.)
  • Virtua Fighter 2
  • Killer Instinct 1 and 2
  • Marvel Vs. Capcom
  • Super Street Fighter II Turbo
  • X-Men (1992 side scroller)
  • NBA Jam
  • Tekken 3
  • Daytona USA (really reaching here)
  • Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time (struggling to get the list to 10)

  • Suikoden 2

  • D&D Warriors of the Eternal Sun
  • Resident Evil 1 Remake (GC)

Big shout out to SFA2, FFT:A/2, BOF series, Roadwarden.

10 feels too little to condense 40 years of games.

  1. Chrono Trigger

Okay done

[โ€“] Blubber28@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Ranking is tough but I'll give it a go. The ranking is based on the impact and enjoyment I got out of them regardless of playtime.

  1. What Remains of Edith Finch & Kentucky Route Zero (shared 1st place)

  2. Life is Strange

  3. Stray

  4. GRIS

  5. Cyberpunk 2077

  6. SOMA

  7. Heaven's Vault

  8. The Town of Light

  9. FAR: Lone Sails

  10. Portal 2

That last one is a bit of an outlier but I have laughed so much while playing it, it deserves a place at the table.

This is off the top of the dome and given more time I'd probably change this significantly, but here's 10 of my favorites from a multitude of genres:

  • Rain World
  • Outer Wilds
  • Stephen's Sausage Roll

(Those are pretty firmly my top 3, all totally mindblowing experiences that surprised and awed me multiple times)

  • Spelunky 2
  • Getting Over It
  • Peaks Of Yore
  • Satisfactory
  • Dark Souls PTDE
  • Hunt: Showdown
  • Morrowind

Honorable mentions for Guilty Gear and Tekken as series, and I have a special place in my heart for the 2000 title Sacrifice, which is my eternal top pick for a remaster/remake.

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.
