And why? For me, i would definitely choose minecraft, it would just feel like real life after a while. Also add a VR and you don’t have to leave haha
Minecraft. Mods are like magic, and can totally change the game. I’ve lost countless hours just poking around and building fun things, even on vanilla.
For me, it would definitely be Red Dead Redemption 2. I’ve played the main story several times now and will probably soon start over again.
I have about ~9,000 hours logged in Skyrim over the last twelve years thanks to mods, and I’m sure I’m not done. So I’ll stick with that.
Skyrim
In fact, this is the only game that I have played for the last 6 months lol
Chess
Probably RimWorld. Somehow I’ve managed to accumulate nearly 4,000 hours. I’m pretty sure I could play for another 4,000 easily and then for the rest of my life. I love the stories that come out of each colony and how attached I get to pawns. I’ll never forget Dinkleberg, the troublesome cat that has nearly wiped my colony twice by leaving doors open for invaders then when out by snorting too much cocaine
The Mass Effect trilogy (I consider it one game) - no matter how many times I play it, it still feels fresh.
Rimworld with mods. The shear amount of wild and bizarre experiences that I have in that game could easily keep me entertained for a lifetime. I doubt I’d get bored with it. Other than Stardew Valley and Zelda BOTW, it’s the only game I keep coming back to and unlike those two games, I don’t get bored of it. I simply have to tear myself away from it so I can function like a normal human being again.
It’s 6 AM and I’ve just spent an hour “testing”* a patch I wrote. Send help.
*It was immediately apparent the patch was fine, I just couldn’t escape after verifying. It’d be a shame to waste all that load time, after all.
That first start up time after a fresh reboot… >:(
I’d go with “Hide the Sausage”.
Dark Souls remastered
Yeah I’ve played that a TON but am nowhere near as good as a lot of people seem to be at it. So I guess a lot of time to git gud?
When Dark Souls clicks you’ll be amazed you ever found it difficult. Until the next game and then suddenly it’s hard again.
Honestly, yeah. If I’m allowed Mods, then the roof is just the level of my creativity. If I’m only allowed one game, it’s a damned good one.
Guild Wars 2
Before I had kids: PUBG. I went real hard on that game for 18 months. I played 10+ hrs a week and never lost interest.
After kids (PUBG is stressful, I don’t need more of that) it’d be Rocket League. I’ve been playing it consistently since Day 1 and whilst I don’t see myself improving much anymore, I still get a kick (ahem) out of scoring a nice goal, or a laugh at totally missing an empty net.
What rank? 33 with a toddler here in C1 and always looking for my next doubles or triples partner(s).
Binding of Issac, for me one of the few games I could probably continue playing for a decade and still enjoy.
Slay the Spire is a strong contender, but overall the Isaac devs seem more like they would be swayed to create even more content for me.
Oh wait I forgot about MMOs, maybe FFXIV is a better choice in that case, I just forgot about it cause I am taking a long break until the next expansion.
Rocket League
And I’m gonna hate the rest of my life
