    Alpha Centauri.

    I know I’m aging myself, but there has never been anything else like it. The depth, the narrative, the way the gameplay evolves. It’s a masterpiece.

      Nice, and I fully agree: The best turn based 4x Civ I have played so far. Music, fractions and the story are all perfect. The factions play quite different and allow for diverse strategies to win. Surprised that there are not more copy-cats that try to pull it off.

    • Street Fighter III, 3rd Strike (It is that good and to this day one of the highlights)
    • Slay the Spire
    • Contra (NES)
    • Super Mario Brothers (NES) (What an utterly brilliant game)

    Whenever I’m depressed and have a hard time enjoying a game, I usually go to RDR2 or Coffee Talk.

    Squarez Deluxe

    It is the best shape-packing game ever in my opinion, or at the top of the podium with the greats. In Extreme Mode I can get lost for hours and hours

    A great player needs to have a solid understanding of the core mechanics, because a tremendous amount of creativity necessary. Player needs to conceive and continually rebalance a multi-faceted plan for managing the playfield. By necessity, you’ll almost be setting up Rube Goldberg-ian contraptions using the various action blocks, which leads to extremely satisfying moments when you finally get that “one piece” you’ve been hungering for 30 minutes.

    Best of all, the original developer made Squarez Deluxe Freeware! So grab DOSBox and have a crack!

    I’d have to say Dark Souls, honestly any of them. Once you know what you are doing, where you’re going, it’s easy to just get lost in playing

      Shame on me, never finished even Dark Souls 1, but damn I had a lot of fun failing and dying. :-)

        No shame at all, they’re very flawed games and the problems they have do drive some people away. The latter half of DS1 is extremely rough, honestly.

          Yeah, for DS1, I totally respect the artistic vision and that they simply created a game against the trends (back then) … at the same time I made it trough the swamp under the Orc-City w/o the ring which allows immunity to the swamp poison. When I looked up how to get this ring (back to the Asylum) I was just like: WTF, I have a real life, how should I have figured this out by myself? … this turned me away, although I still have a lot of respect and love for DS1!

            Blighttown is an area that turns away a lot of players haha, the lower portion isn’t too bad. The poison water slows you, but if you roll through it you can navigate it pretty fast, and there’s a merchant that sells an item that cures poison, that you can find right before you enter the depths. There’s no shame whatsoever in looking up help online in dark souls.
