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.

- Super Mario Bros 3
- GTA 4
I took into account the impact at the time of release as well as the timelessness of the games.

Top 3 is hard. I'll start with the first three that came to mind, in no particular order:
-
Witcher 3
-
Star Control 2
-
Monkey Island 2
But there are so many that I could have listed instead.
The Commander Keen games are amongst the first I remember playing, I loved those and played through them so many times.
Baldurs Gate 3 was such a masterpiece, it probably could bump W3 off that list.
Although, Ultima 7 was the first RPG I played where I became properly immersed in the story. The world, the characters, the way the mystery of the main story unfolds. And it is actually a really good jump-in point for the series as it's set a couple centuries after number 6.
Fallout 1 also could easily make the list. I loved the way such a small and intimate quest for your vault unfolds into something bigger.

Doom
Crosscode
Cave Storycrosscode mentioned, hell yeah!

Xenogears is an amazing story. I never got into the other games in the series. Do you know if they are worth it?
XenoSaga is worth it, though it suffers the same fate as Xenogears being rushed at the end. Xenoblade is definitely worth it. None of them cross over but they have the same themes and motifs, plus a little fan service for series old heads.

This is good taste right here.

Going by favourite as "Left the most lasting impression on me" it would have to be:
-
Monster Hunter World
-
Crosscode
-
Outer Wilds
-
-
Dark Cloud
Dark Cloud 2
I don't like it actually but I have over 5k hours in Dota 2.
I really think someone needs to make a modern evolution of Dark Cloud. Maybe the technological limitation was actually a benefit though, because a modern game would probably try to do open world, full 3d construction, and things like that. The technology at the time required that they keep it fairly simple but also really well designed.

Assassin's Creed: Black Flag and Rogue. Skyrim. Dishonored. Bioshock. NFS MW (2012). The Pentiment. These are in no particular order.

Unfortunately it's a thing when going back to older games after being living in the map marker era for so long. This is a big part of why games back then came with annotated maps so you'd at least have a reference for all the locations.
I'd say at the minimum, don't be afraid to pull up maps and take notes.
after being living in the map marker era for so long.
Jeez, this is totally it!
Thanks for putting it in simpler words for me
Definitely gonna check in taking notes.

You're not the only one. I've beaten The 7th Saga more times than Chrono Trigger lol.
I didn't know about this game, but honestly it is so good that others experience the same as I, of course I don't think that I am the only one in the world that Chrono Trigger is not for him (not even sure about this myself), but definitely is so scarce to read comments of people struggling with the title compared with praises for it gets!

There was a petition for a Dark Cloud 3 a while back, apparently the creators were hip to the idea.

Do you know of any game that has the Kenshi, Morrowind aesthetic ? I crave more. You know, this:
Any recommendation welcome !
Likely weird take, but Scorn?
More Gigerian and claustrophobic, but vaguely similar. I did not much like its gameplay though, the 3d made me nauseous.
