I don’t play The Sims for months and months, then come back to it and play really intensely for few days.
Skyrim, Fallout, Stardew Valley, and the Animal Crossing Games are my perennial favorites!
Time will tell on this one, but I think Baldur’s Gate 3 will be one I come back to again and again.
I have an unhealthy cycle of this with Hearts of Iron IV a WW2 grand strategy game. I'll realize the embarrassing number of hours that I've put into the game and then I'll stop playing for a while. But then one of the big mods for it will update and then I dive back in and lose a weekend and then the process repeats.
The other game I consistently come back to is Threads of Fate or Dewprism it's a PS1 action-RPG with dual protagonists where each one has their own campaign or story to play through. I guess it's nostalgia that keeps me coming back to it, but it really wasn't a favorite game growing up and I didn't beat it until years after I'd gotten it. But every few years I'll just remember it out of the blue and get the urge to play through it again.
Green hell and the long dark
What about green hell brings you back? It's one of those games that has been on my wishlist for a while now
I have over 4,000 hours across all the trackmania games. So that, I guess. Most is 2,000 in United followed by a couple hundred in all the rest. 1,000 in trackmania 2020
I don't game very much, all the more so as I got older, but now and then I always return to the older fire emblem games and sometimes casual games like Diner Dash.
Warframe.
Dark Souls
Kerbal space program 1
Dwarf Fortress
Deep Rock Galactic
Age of Empires II
Satisfactory, I'm hoping to get employee of the planet cup before 1.0 comes out.
Angband. I don't stick with it long, but I always come back, even though I've never killed Morgoth or the Balrog in Moria before that. Still, I enjoy it for a while and then move on again.
Neverwinter Nights (the first one) and Heroes of Might and Magic (3 and 4). They're just so comfortable for me to play so I just start them up when I'm to stressed out to play anything new.
Space Engineers
I keep coming back to hunter call of the wild,
Its just such a nice looking game with no real skill curve once you know not to go running through the bush hoping to see a dear, it takes patience.
On a hot day, put the ac on a nice cup of coffee and go walking through the bushlands looking at points of interest and maybe shoot me a dear all without sweating like a pig like i do where i live.
That game is the reason im moving south, im so tired of trying tondo anything and dying from the heat.
I started playing through Skyrim again last year, but didn't get very far before I lost interest.
I jump back in to left4dead every year or two. The original is probably my favorite shooter. I haven't found Back4Blood as compelling.
Dragon Age: Origins
W40K: Gladius
Civ (latest version)
Distant World: Universe (latest version). In all years I played many DW:U (I and II) games. Finished exactly one.
Skate 3 EarthBound Skyrim Oblivion Quake 1/2/3 Mario 64 Super Mario World Battlefield 1943 (RIP 😞) Fallout 76 DayZ Vampire Survivors
These are just a few. I cycle through games a lot.
Dungeons of the Endless
Castlevania
Neverwinter Nights (Which I've been playing or DMing on for 23 years)
Ummm tell us more!
DotE is a tower defense roguelike with pixel graphics and a team of heroes you manage. It also has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.
Castlevania needs no description. It's just one of the best games ever made.
Neverwinter Nights has stood the test of time for me because it has persistent game worlds, built by other players (basically mini, homemade MMO's), that you can log in and play. I also use its DM client to run online adventures for other players myself.
Paper Mario for the N64 and Super Mario World for the SNES. I think it's because I found them both at the perfect point in my childhood where they were the first games in their genres I managed to beat.
I had a blast finding every single exit and bonus stage in SMW, and Paper Mario was the first RPG that didn't make my eyes glaze over (including Super Mario RPG). Plus the characters and aesthetics are still so charming, the whole game gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Cyberpunk 2077
Vampire Survivors
Hades
Dead Cells
Slime Rancher/SR2
Gunfire Reborn
