Chrono Trigger is a must for anyone that likes RPG’s.

The Talos Principle
I agree with the guy that said Outer Wilds, even though I can’t finish it because of my thalassophobia.
Personally, the two games that had a really profound effect on me are Disco Elysium and Hi-Fi Rush.
Disco is an incredible political game that really is damn powerful. It’s definitely not for people who just want action.
Hi-Fi Rush is a rhythm action game so I wouldn’t recommend it to people who hate rhythm games or people who hate action. But it’s so fun, so charming and really uplifting.
- ass effect
- pathfinder wrath of the righteous
- baldur’s gate 3
- warframe
- ass effect
Is there a sequel that focuses higher? I’m more of a boob lover but I’m still interested.
Mamms effect was (unfortunately) never released
Unfortunately not
Can I play that first one when my wife is around?
As long as you look her directly in the eyes and confidently state:
“We’ll bang, okay?”
I think everyone should play factorio for at least a few hours. It will be some of the most interesting 17 months of their lives.
Is it a time lapse game? Where you play for like an hour, then suddenly the sun is down?
And you’re absolutely starving, yes.
I would personally recommend Satisfactory over Factorio. I think it’s a more casual experience while still scratching that factory building itch.
I would add Outer Wilds to the list.
You can really only play it once in a lifetime but I think it’s the best video game experiences available.
Honorable mention for Tunic and Cocoon for the same reason
Deus Ex and Balatro
To give something that most likely has not been mentioned: Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy. The character banter is the best I’ve encountered in any video game thus far.
RoboCop: Rogue City
Command & Conquer, Tie Fighter, Simpsons Doom, Quake, Portal, and DDR.
Simpsons Doom sounds interesting!
Well since you didn’t specify, I’ll let everyone know you definitely meant Command and Conquer 4.
Sorry, I meant Red Alert.
If you haven’t, check out Combined Arms. It is an OpenRA mod that brings in a lot of units and design from RA2, Generals, and C&C3.
Don’t hate me, but I like Cyberpunk 2077. It may have had its problems at launch, and I heard people were promised all kinds of stuff that was not delived, or was delivered only much later, but I never listen to hype anyway. I’ve played this for many hours. There are great mods for that game that make it even better, and it has such cool characters, such a fascinating world, good music, great design, the combat is fun… I love it.
I played the game at launch and didn’t enjoy it. Got a Steam Deck, learned how to use gyro aiming in a different game and came back to CP2077 a few months ago and… holy shit this game is fantastic. Some of the writing can be a bit jank, and its still a little buggy, but overall, really enjoyable game.
I agree. It is exactly the aesthetic I wanted when I heard about it and I love it. And also, the story is pretty good, and so are the actors.
on one side, yeah it’s pretty af
on the other, driving in circles is funner than actually playing. Its so smoothing 🥹
for me it was definitely worth the $35 I spent on it.
Skyrim. I know, it’s been re-released a dozen times now, it’s buggy as fuck, etc etc, but fuck me if it isn’t an enjoyable game, even without mods.
Fallout New Vegas. It doesn’t treat you like mr savior of the universe, you’re a (un)lucky nobody caught in the middle of a power struggle. No essential NPCs, you can kill everyone you come across.
Age of Empires 2. Old as fuck, still enjoyable. Thank god the remaster lets you play with higher screen resolutions.
I’d recommend Morrowind over Skyrim and FONV. It gives you total freedom.
As opposed to FONV, where you can kill most people, unlike what you said, you can kill anyone in Morrowind. FONV always has the fallback of Yes Man. Morrowind you can nearly lock yourself out of progress in the main quest if you kill the wrong people. There is always a way to finish it, but it requires much more from the player and most people probably would never figure it out.
It also gives you a lot more ways to play. There’s no fast travel from the map, but there’s tons of travel options. There are several places through the map that take you from one place to another, but there’s also two spells (that can also be on scrolls) that teleport you to the nearest of a type of structure. There’s mark and recall to mark a place and be able to return there. Then there’s magic like fortifying athletics to jump really far, combined with featherfall or something to land safely, or levitation, or so many other options. You can also use these things on followers, so escorts quests can be accelerated by buffing the NPC. There’s just so much more freedom they started removing after Morrowind.
The world is also designed as a lived in world first seemingly and a video game second. Skyrim especially is designed like an amusement park. Every dungeon is a roller-coaster with a very designed path and no freedom. Morrowind they feel like places, and there are so many ways you can navigate them usually. This can be frustrating, because you can get lost, but it isn’t that bad and feels more interesting than the same thing over and over.
Voices of the Void.
Oh, wait. It’s free right now??? Go get it!
