what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time?
-
for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.
wrote last edited by [email protected]I’ve probably got some weird takes, but let’s go:
-
Chrono Trigger is at the way top. The greatest game of all time hasn’t been bested in 30 years. Telling the best narrative I’ve heard in my life, and packing it into 20 short hours, with timeless art and amazing music, and into FOUR GODDAMN MEGABYTES, this is one many try to beat, and none have succeeded. Not even Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
-
CrossCode comes right behind it. This game is much longer, but that’s okay. It’s essentially a single-player MMO with all the trappings of life within. A wonderfully smooth action combat system, more amazing music, and some of the most memorable facial expressions I’ve seen. It’s also written in freakin’ HTML5.
-
Zachtronics Solitaire Collection. Going purely by hours played and wins scored, this is on my favorites whether I like it or not. Every solitaire game from every Zachtronics title, right there. Special shout-out to Fortune’s Foundation.
Honorable mentions: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for the worldbuilding and music, Final Fantasy XIII for exactly the same reasons, The Talos Principle 2 for simply giving its NPCs the agency to say “nah, I don’t wanna go back, I’m staying home,” and Chaos Rings 2 for creating one of the most high-stakes yet viscerally unpleasant stories I’ve witnessed, wherein to proceed through the game, the protagonist ritually sacrifices his ever-shrinking party of people.

- Super Mario RPG. I played through this game so many times as a kid.
- Dust: An Elysian Tail
- Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Currently I'd say minecraft, witcher 3, and.. warframe probably :3
In no particular order
Yay warframe! :3

Of all time is a hard one. I guess I'll go by most play hours. So in no particular order, WoW, Stellaris, and Warframe.

Of all time?
Galaxian - I have an antique table top arcade version my aunt gave me about 20ish years ago that I enjoy.
Civilization - Hot seat multiplayer was awesome. Pikeman as active borders for your country.
Doom - Soundtrack alone is worth the experience

- Mirror's Edge
- Lingo (2?)
- And Yet It Moves
ME has stuck with me as my favorite game for fifteen years now. I love it visually, the soundtrack is incredible, and the gameplay is fantastic.
Lingo and its sequel are a bizzare, unmatched puzzle experience. I don't know what else to say there.
And Yet It Moves is... something else. An indy platformer from the heyday of Indy platformers. It is an interesting example of how story can influence art style.

I just got to the hex quest :3. haven't done it yet tho
:::Very nice! Just as a heads up in case you don't know, there are two different endings. One at the initial end of the quest, and then once you get them up to rank 3! I hope you enjoy Tenno! :3

wrote last edited by [email protected]- Singaporean Bridge - It's basically a crossover of Bridge and Werewolf / Polar Bear / Among Us. That small change of not knowing who your partner is from the start makes for games that are way more fun.
- Pokemon Soulsilver - I love the following mechanic. The other features of the game are really great too.
- Raze 2 - I have seen others describe it as the "Halo of flash games". Personally, I had a blast playing it. Also, Waterflame's soundtracks are the GOAT.

Much hidden gem.

I wish I liked Crosscode more. I really enjoyed the writing and loved the puzzles, but the combat just didn't feel that good to me. Ended up dropping it in the second dungeon and never picked it up again.
