Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! (lemmy.world)

I feel like my “all-time favorite” changes depending on my mood, but if I had to pick just one, I’d probably go with The Witcher 3. That game just hit all the right notes—amazing story, incredible world-building, and so much stuff to do without feeling like pointless filler. Plus, the expansions were just as good, if not better than the base game.

What about you? Are you more into RPGs, shooters, or something else entirely?

I can‘t really pinpoint one game, it‘s easier for me to list a top 5ish in no particular order (but even then I‘ll probably answer differently in a month from now when I remember games I‘m forgetting about right now). It goes something like this:

Crusader Kings III

Monster Hunter World/Wilds (the latter if it didn‘t run like shit)

Nioh 2

Rocket League (haven‘t played it in years though)

HITMAN

maybe League of Legends if it still was season 7 lol (haven‘t played that in a while either)

Counterstrike 1.6

Dark Souls II (my first soulslike that I played on release with an active online population, so I have the fondest memories of this one, DS1 and its awful PC port was nothing to make fond memories with for me)

Seems like I‘m a competitive/challenging game enjoyer, but not the „1v1 no-hit bosses“-kind, I enjoy all of these games most in coop if they support it. Overcoming challenges together is my thing.

CK3 is really cool. It's completely spoiled me on games like Civilization now. Being able to play as a person instead of some abstract concept of your empire is so fascinating to me. Things like worrying about how your child's holdings will look once you die based on succession is fun.

I always thought CIV was „that game“ for me until I played CK3 and realized that what CK3 does was what I had looked for in CIV but had never really gotten

For me it was seeing people say that the character mechanics of Total War: Three Kingdoms were like a watered down version of CK. I hadn't heard of it before. CK2 was the latest at the time and the UI in it is awful. Luckily CK3 came out soon.
