I have a large library of steam games, but yet always come back to Garry mod and ravensfield. I keep coming back for the modded content and every other game is excellent, don't get me wrong. But a lot of big games like RD2 and watchdogs 2 just seem like such a long time investment. What 2 games do you infinitely come back to?

Ah, but would you keep Workshop access?

If so, Garry's Mod is almost cheating. There's a bit of everything in it.

So that and Warframe. I picked up WF ten years ago and it's still in my top ten recently played games. Though I have a love/hate relationship with the Metagame it turned into, it still remains.

Farmframe is pretty solid pick. Ever growing amount of content to play and collect, plus the gameplay is fun. For me it's kind of missing a reason to farm all the stuff though, but I've also stuck with it on and off about 9 years now

To be honest, I stopped being a “qualified player” a few years ago. Nowadays I load up a nice long Survival round, usually against Infested to chew on, with whatever Frame I’ve forgotten how to play, to enjoy the loop without stress. So I’m not in it to farm all the stuff either. Or, I’ll play the story quest if a new one is out, since they are pretty well scaled for solo play and/or give you what you need.

Other than that I just can’t compete. I tripped some time ago and didn’t keep up with the latest meta builds, so now I struggle to have the things “required” to effectively participate in public sessions or the latest missions. And don’t even get me started on Rivens, Shards, Liches or whatever.

If I join a Zariman round I’ll probably die. Not as much now that I have Titania, but I’m also not clearing rooms in a single volley like everyone else.

I’m a filthy casual and I still find a way to have fun, so there’s something there worth keeping.
