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.

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.
Nier: Automata Kingdom Hearts Super Smash Bros: Melee
Half-Life 2, Max Payne 2 and Mass Effect because I‘ve been an impressionable teenager and a nitpicking adult.
Today:
This might change everyday, especially for #3 I don’t have a definite pick. But I chose the lesser-known game.
MGS3
Rocket League
Resident Evil 4
Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag and Rogue. Skyrim. Dishonored. Bioshock. NFS MW (2012). The Pentiment. These are in no particular order.
Oh, cheeky 4th one: Magicraft (best bite-sized PoE/arpg ever)
Planetside 2 used to be my no.1 game, but I haven’t played in a couple years and do not believe I’ll ever return.
Impossible to rank, so I’ll pull from at random from a top 25 I did not long ago:
Those are all relatively new games. How old are you? Just decade, not specifics. I’m in my 40s. I’d say my top 3 are World of Warcraft, Factorio, and Final Fantasy 6.
EUIV will probably be replaced by EUV when it comes out.
Tears of the Kingdom was amazing. The only thing BotW did better was how it felt riding on horseback through Hyrule field dodging lasers. But that was the high point, the average experience in BotW was less fun that TotK for me.
TotK really might be one of my top 5.
It’s too hard to really rank every game. I spent a ton of time on Minecraft over the years but haven’t recently. Like over a decade ago I liked gmod and still spent so much time on it but haven’t played recently.
Lately colony management games have been scratching the itch. Do id probably say Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, and Oxygen Not Included.
Smb3.
HL2.
Team Fortress Classic.
Falcon 4.0 gets my respect for forcing me into advanced computer tinkering and sending me into my career eventually.
Portal 2 and Warframe. I’m not sure about a third, several contenders. And can’t really say which spot any are in, feels more like they share 1st.
Questions like this are always hard, it’s never a certain answer and it shifts over time, no matter if something new comes along to take a place or not. It’s as fluid as anything else.
Mostly based off hours played: EU4, Borderlands 2, Bioshock.
I excluded League of Legends even though I probably have the second most hours in that. Toxic as shit and I’m glad I gave it up.
Final Fantasy XI
Shovel Knight
Hades
Nier:Automata gets an honorable mention.
Xenogears is an amazing story. I never got into the other games in the series. Do you know if they are worth it?
XenoSaga is worth it, though it suffers the same fate as Xenogears being rushed at the end. Xenoblade is definitely worth it. None of them cross over but they have the same themes and motifs, plus a little fan service for series old heads.
Metal Gear Solid 3, Subnautica, Papers Please.
I love the Metal Gear series but the Cold War setting of 3 works so well with the theme of the game. It also features crab battles and the ladder boss.
Subnautica really captures the feeling of being lost in some alien world and slowly making it your new home. The electronic voice assistant manages to send chills up your spine with lines like “oxygen.”
Papers, Please explores complex moral decisions in such a simple way. I wish to live my life more like Jorji.
Of all time?
Galaxian - I have an antique table top arcade version my aunt gave me about 20ish years ago that I enjoy.
Civilization - Hot seat multiplayer was awesome. Pikeman as active borders for your country.
Doom - Soundtrack alone is worth the experience
Bg3 Fo NV Cultic
Gameboy Tetris, Galaga on the Amiga, ZX Spectrum Atic Atac.
Of all time is a hard one. I guess I’ll go by most play hours. So in no particular order, WoW, Stellaris, and Warframe.
Dune 2, WoW, Stardew Valley
Fallout New Vegas Batman: Arkham City Path Of Exile
Honerable mention to Warcraft 3 TFT.
Call me Nostradamus 'cause it’s Silksong.
So Silksong is going to be a trilogy? Rock on!
Eventually… all we can do is believe.
