Euro Truck Simulator 2 / American Truck Simulator for me.
Toy Story 2 on the PS1
Final Fantasy XII & Fallout 3 [Steam/GOG]
Dwarf Fortress
Oldschool runescape
Hell yeah. I wish the Lemmy community was bigger for osrs.
For the last two years it’s been BG3.
Lately, it’s been Hell Divers. Used to be Mario Kart.
I can Hell Dive for hours if I’m feeling shitty or for just one mission if I just need a quick escape. I feel like I’ve gotten an insane amount of value out of it.
Path of Exile, I just love the game so much.
The Sly Cooper Trilogy. I still have them on PS2
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 II in basically any edition. Was my entry point in fighting games and to this day it just feels ‘right’
- 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)
- Castlevania 3 (NES)
- Vampyre Survivors (Ok, maybe just pure dopamine addiction)
- Sudoku
- Final Fantasy 1 Pixel Remaster
- XCOM
- Open X-COM
- Olli Olli
- rogue
- Tetris
- Into the breach … and Quake

Kingdom hearts, any one of them really. But 358/2 days is my favorite
Mechwarrior Online
Whenever I’m depressed and have a hard time enjoying a game, I usually go to RDR2 or Coffee Talk.
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.
Ds1 just flows so well. I still get happy when a new run gets the black knight halberd
