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.

- Kenshi
- Morrowind
- Titanfall 2
Morrowind is top tier. Every time I play a bit differently or go somewhere new, it feels new again. I’ve never had that from another game. Compare to Skyrim (which I also liked), I kinda felt like I experienced everything my first go-round.
Do you know of any game that has the Kenshi, Morrowind aesthetic ? I crave more. You know, this:
Any recommendation welcome !
Star Wars Galaxies was kinda like that. No idea if it’s still playable though.
Man I wish more comes to mind. I was eager for the Morrowind themed Kenshi mod, but that looks like it stalled out. 🫤
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.
Check out Outward. It has a Morrowind/Everquest kind of feel. It’s an offline RPG, but you can play co-op. You have to basically discover all the mechanics/secrets through trial and error or talking to NPCs, which makes it feel very old school.
Off the top of my head, in no particular order:
- Portal (or maybe Portal 2)
- Doom (the 1993 one) (or maybe Doom 2)
- Stellaris
All great games
Gameboy Tetris, Galaga on the Amiga, ZX Spectrum Atic Atac.
- NieR: Automata (Replicant is also as good)
- Metal Gear Solid 2
- Yakuza 0
- GTA San Andrays
- Halo 3
- AOE 2
These games are rooted in my childhood and connected to memories of simpler times and good friends. I Still play video games but I don’t think I could ever experience the same level of joy and excitement that I got from gaming as I did when I was younger. These days I’d rather just go for a nice walk with my dog like the boring old man that I am.

- 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.
- STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl
- EuroTruck Simulator 2
- Battlefield 2
Honorable mentions: EvE Online, Mount and Blade Warband, XCOM Enemy Unknown, Helldivers 2, Disco Elysium, Mini Metro, Tactical Breach Wizards
Only 3 choices makes it a tough one since there are many exceptional games…
If I had to erase every experience of all games, the ones I’d keep are (in no particular order): Cyberpunk 2077 Fallout: New Vegas Sunset Overdrive
Master of Orion 2
Lords of the Realm 2
Caesar 3Dragon quest monsters Final fantasy tactics Terraria
All legendary

-
- Persona 4
- Ar Tonelico 2
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Honerable mention to Warcraft 3 TFT.
- Chrono Trigger
- Xenogears
- Vagrant Story
Nier:Automata gets an honorable mention.
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.
Dwarf Fortress, Kenshi, and Ocarina of Time
