Dead Cells. Factorio. Mini Metro. FTL.
Satisfactory. It’s so fun automatizing stuff for 4 hours that could have been done manually in 30 minutes. I like looking at all of my work in the game and thinking “how, this is impressive”.
If you like building I guess Minecraft is an epic choice. I have sunk hundreds of hours into the game, easily
Steel battalion with the full controller setup
I still kick myself for not grabbing that game off a buddy for $100… I did get to play it, though, but never finished.
Currently playing Fallout New Vegas and it’s probably the best “Bethesda” game I’ve ever played.
Except for Morrowind, of course.
Civilization III and/or V
Edit: If you have lot’s of time available.
The Talos Principle
Chrono Trigger is a must for anyone that likes RPG’s.

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.
Disco is terrible, lazy writing. It’s just endless word vomit.
I like literature, smart word play. but this ain’t that. This is just throwing everything including piss, vomit, semen and feces on the wall and see what sticks. And in a lot of early game scenes it’s this quite literally.
Anyway, what I’m trying to say is that Disco is not for everyone. You love it or it makes you nauseous. There is nothing in between. And you only know which one is you when you try it.

- 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.
Command & Conquer, Tie Fighter, Simpsons Doom, Quake, Portal, and DDR.
Hello fellow 50ish year old gamer.
You forgot homeworld.
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.
