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.

Tic tak toe,

Snek,

That one with the bubbles that you just watch and you can’t do anything (I think it actually a screen saver)

Uh. That’s it.

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.

  1. Hades.
  2. Rocket League
  3. Deep Rock Galactic
  4. Warframe
  5. Heroes of the Storm
  6. DotA. (I'm talking original WC3 mod here)
  7. Street Fighter 2
  8. Starcraft 2
  9. Tropico 4
  10. World of Warcraft (pre fuck-you-Blizzard days)

Honorable mention for all of the Diablo's really, been playing them since the first one, and all of the Fallouts, playing since the 2nd. Shoutout to my X-Com homies.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I play them still.

  1. Total annihilation.
  2. Zero-k
  3. World of Warcraft, as long as I can avoid cataclysm

I don't play them but would easily

  1. The settlers III + Amazons
  2. Torchlight
  3. Diablo II as it was in like 05
  4. Quake II + lithium (slow hooks; hi Nelson crew)
  5. Dune 2
  6. WCII as in 98

Huh. That's it. StarCraft is out as I played for a day before cavedog ruined it for me forever, but it get it if you still love it.
