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?
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.
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.
The Mass Effect Trilogy. If that counts as 3 games, then Mass Effect 3. I just love Multiplayer.
Mass Effect Legendary Edition, quickly became my favorite game of all time.
Zelda Ocarina of Time or TOTK. Most if the Zelda games really.
NieR It changed me, I resonate deeply with NieR, one of the few games that actually made me emotional
Factorio, just don’t expect to have a life left…
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. :)
Skyrim.
Ah. You’re finally awake.
Stardew Valley
Tetris. No explanation necessary.
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
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).
I have 1600 hours in Elite Dangerous.
no other game comes close to the same atmosphere. i’ve invested hundreds of hours and plan to buy a flightstick for elite
If other games had the atmosphere you couldn’t land on them though.
