Best game ever?
-
There is no such thing as a 'Best Game Ever', but it's Mass Effect 2
Best in the series, imo, the only thing I don't like is these paragon/renegade quicktime events.

Has to be Outer Wilds for me. I can't think of any other game that would have left such an impact on me, in such a short amount of time.
I heard how great the Outer Wilds was, so when I saw The Outer Worlds on sale I thought "oh hey sure I'll buy that for $15" and I was EXTREMELY confused at why people had said it was the best game you could only play once, because that game wasn't even fun the first time. I later realized my mistake and got the real deal and oh my god I wish I could forget that game and play it again.

Yeah pacman and pong were seminal but so was elite on the BBC, and Populous which I think was on the spectrum. Also unreal tournament, silent hill, vice city, homeworld, doom 2016, beam ng, I enjoyed em all but I can't decide. Ppl here have done much more gaming than me, I'm wondering what you all think is the best game ever. Age, platform, genre, bla bla - what's best ever?
I'm going to split this in to two categories: 1) games that were the best for their time, but perhaps don't hold up nowadays. 2) Games that are the best today.

GoldenEye. This game was just so good both single and multiplayer. It was revolutionary, amazingly close to the film and a real challenge to complete. It was a huge game changer and entered in the modern era for such games.

I just really like Just Cause 3. It's such fun, great visual, even better game mechanics, cool soundtrack, a true open world and massive destruction, endless ways to approach every situation.

I used to love TES4 too, but after playing Daggerfall and Morrowind, I started to look at Oblivion coldly. The old concept of Oblivion was great, but what was released... meh. But hey, quests in Oblivion are pretty good.
I began with Morrowind and I've played every TES game (other than those obscure "Travels" games in the early 2000s) but Oblivion remains for me. That said, Daggerfall's sheer scope in both gameplay and world size is incredible, and Morrowind's perfect blend of sandbox freedom with an awesome plot definitely do make them candidates as well. I just personally love the entire series and Oblivion was the one that converted me from "fan" to "megafan" so that's why I go for that one.

Portal and portal 2 those are the best ever, a story line everyone can get behind, likable characters. Good game loop. They are just masterclasses.
Portal 2 was way better than Portal, which felt like mostly a really extended tech demo or proof-of-concept. Portal 2 felt like an actual, full, fleshed-out game.

Been gaming since 1984 or some such.
By number of hours played: Factorio
By number of hours I can monologue about a game at you: also Factorio
By how much I think it affected gaming industry and culture: Doom

Somewhere between Rimworld and Dwarf Fortress lies the perfect life simulation.
Maybe Odd Realm?

Ocarina of Time
Yeah I know. Cliche as fuck. But for those who weren't around when It came out, it's really hard to describe just how absurdly revolutionary OoT was. Between it and Mario 64 (another Top 5 game for me), you essentially had the foundations of 3D gaming that are still used today.
But besides that...it's an amazing game that I'm still replaying nearly 30 years later. Ever single complaint I have about this game is a tiny issue that has been solved in other versions (like binding the Iron Boots to the C button).
Yeah, OoT feels dated by modern standards, but that’s largely because it set the standard for 3D games. Future games have built upon the mechanics, but OoT was what paved the way.
