I'd recommend Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. Go check it out if you haven't yet.

If you have, why don't you have a pork bun in your hand?

Factorio, just don't expect to have a life left...

[–] muntelaar@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

The facory must grow, of course.

Fallout: New Vegas. You don't need to have played any of the other ones. Obsidian did an amazing job missing some of the stumbling blocks Bethesda usually hits. Its a game you can tear through in a few hours, or spend years getting lost in.

The hardest part is letting go.

I have 1600 hours in Elite Dangerous.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

no other game comes close to the same atmosphere. i've invested hundreds of hours and plan to buy a flightstick for elite

[–] marble@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

If other games had the atmosphere you couldn't land on them though.

Been wasting too much time on this lately. Bought DiabloIV for 70€ only to play it for a week or so and spend all my free time on stardew valley with my gf...

The Mass Effect Trilogy. If that counts as 3 games, then Mass Effect 3. I just love Multiplayer.

[–] RadDevon@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Yeah, definitely depends on who I'm recommending to. If it's someone who's pretty familiar with games, I think it would be Elden Ring. Love the sense of exploration and discovery in that game.

Age of empires II, I've been playing since its release 20 years ago and it's aged like a fine wine.

[–] Misanthrope@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Inmost. Short platformer/metroivania with a story that will crush your soul. Gameplay is good, art is great, and the story is phenomenal!!!

Halo: Combat Evolved

I still find the odd person that never played it here and there, and yet everyone that tries it after says "Oh my god, how did I never play this game before?" and goes on to play the rest

[–] 7egend@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Super Mario World.

Good variety in enemies and levels, hidden secrets, an evolving world as you progress, simple controls that are easy to understand, but also require a degree of skill to master. It's also a game that's enjoyable for ages 3-100, in my eyes it's one of the most 'perfect' games.

Yeah, it's also my favorite game of all time. But I'm conflicted about recommending it to a lot of people...

[–] Jaffa@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Outer Wilds. Yeah, you've probably all played it, but if you haven't, please do and let the rest of us watch. It is very special.

[–] hburb3ri@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Zelda Ocarina of Time or TOTK. Most if the Zelda games really.

[–] AkatsukiLevi@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

NieR It changed me, I resonate deeply with NieR, one of the few games that actually made me emotional

[–] wolf@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Hollow knight. It is a challenging game but the gameplay and aesthetic are phenomenal.

[–] Mirodir@lemmy.fmhy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It's gotta be Outer Wilds for me for sure.

[–] Tiritibambix@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

This is a niche game and I'll look like an old fart, but Shining Force (1, 2 , 3, Gaiden) is (are) my all time favorite game(s).

Ah. You're finally awake.

Garry's mod. The content is community created and has an amazing amount of fun/ educational potential

[–] ComatoseSquirrel@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

That's a surprisingly difficult question. Everyone has different interests, so it's hard to make a catch-all recommendation.

With that being said, I'll go with Chrono Trigger. It's a true classic with interesting characters, a solid enough story (that doesn't outstay its welcome), easily approachable gameplay, and an amazing soundtrack. It easily ranks among my favorite games of all time.

Portal: Reloaded

I think it's the single best puzzle game ever created and the fact that it's a free Portal 2 mod is astounding.

[–] DesTeufelsAvocado@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Dragon Age: Origins. BioWare has the talent to fill your heart with lovely characters and their stories until it overflows with joy and care, only to stab a knife into it to make you bleed. Beautifully painful. :)

[–] notun@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Tetris. No explanation necessary.

[–] Velaris@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mass Effect Legendary Edition, quickly became my favorite game of all time.

[–] utnapishtim@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Dark souls obviously

[–] miostetsson@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

it would be Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for PC
