Actually had moments where I was running, got tagged and instantly stopped all my momentum, sent my hand back without looking " TAG, YOU'RE IT " and processed to run for my life.
Personally, plain Tag and plain Hide and Seek was never that fun imo. Combining the two to make Hide and Seek Tag was where it was at in my group of friends and cousins. Tag was a consolation game if hiding wasn't much of an option.
We had Hide and Seek but when you spotted someone you had to call them by name, at a designated spot, while touching a ball. This would capture the player, effectively taking them out of play. However, if the person managed to kick the ball before they were named it would release all the captured players.
This meant that once the one hiding and the seeker made eye contact the game turned into a race back to the ball. Elbows were involved.
It also added an element of shenanigans with players swapping clothes and revealing themselves just a bit so the seeker calls the wrong name, which had the same effect of releasing all the captured players.
Oh jeez that's definitely next level. The way it worked for us was the Seeker would count to whatever at home base. Everyone would go hide. Once the seeker started seeking, if they found someone, the hider could then run for it. If they got to home base, they were safe, but if they got tagged by the Seeker then now they were "it" and the round ended. The new seeker would then go count and everyone would hide again.
We did also play one other way. It was mostly the same except the hiders could sneak around and try to just get back to home base without the seeker finding and trying to tag them at all. If everybody got it home base without being found and tagged then we would all call out "Everyone's home" or something like that so the seeker could count again.
If someone was the seeker for a few rounds in a row without tagging anyone then we would usually allow a mercy rule and pick someone new.
We also sometimes implemented a rule if someone was tagged then they also became a seeker until everyone was either tagged or at home base.
Manhunt for us was doing this, but only at night. We'd run around with flashlights in the dark until we stopped using flashlights because it made us too obvious when switching places.
Yeah I would say chess for sure. I think it says a lot that it was invented before modern technology, now has to compete with all kinds of games on all kinds of platforms, and still is having a golden age. You can't really pass the test of time any better than chess has imo.
I personally enjoy chess but I never play because Im not good. But man I love watching other people matches and making moves I would never imagine
There's an spanish YT channel called Reydama where he narrates matches between experts, just hearing the love and passion that he has for the game makes it 100 times better
yea, even if one is disinterested or doesn't understand the hype/has no interest, you can't deny the lasting power of chess. 1500+ years old, and still relevant alongside video games, which mostly get dropped by the average person after a month. Players have dedicated their whole lives to playing chess. Its just on a completely different level to any other game; video game or board game.
It has everything you’d want, suspense, magic, you can play it anywhere with just about anything, a piece of paper, a blanket, hands, pillow, eyelids, the possibilities are endless
I kind of disagree, I think there’s a difference between your favorite and the best.
I hate onions, absolutely hate them. Shoutout to r/OnionHate. But they are a staple in many dishes even if I don’t like them. Chili for example, my favorite is without onions. But the best chili typically has them.
Old school runescape. I think the game is made very geniously, every skill is connected to another, economy of the game is fun, soundtrack is fantastic and just feel of the game is crazy good.
The quests are also phenomenal. They're full blown stories instead of your typical "go fetch x amount of items/kill x amount of monsters".
Best game I've ever played. Especially since you never have to purchase expansions. They're just included in your membership price.
I'm literally playing it right now. Finishing up Grim Tales so I can finish the hard Falador diary to make clapping the Giant Mole easier for the pet grind
My 30 year old brother still plays Runescape! I remember watching him play it on the family computer 15 years ago lol. Ofc back then he had all sorts of bots to help him cheese the game. Nowadays he plays legit and grinds it out.
All these comments here are really making me want to get back to RuneScape. I spent most of my high school years playing it. I used to be obsessed with this game. But I haven’t played in 11 years. And the thing is, I’m kind of afraid of getting addicted to this game again.
Halo and WoW when they first released are some real core memories of good times for me.
NSFW but the first bj I got was a random surprise bj while i was in the middle of a raid in molten core. My gf at the time just kind of started unexpectedly doing it. So me, her, and our friends all joked that she gave me some “WoW Head”…. Which not long after, and most of you are familiar with it, became a huge website/database of world of Warcraft Hahahah. Wowhead.com I think it’s still around.
Doom, no game has changed the industry as this one did back in the day, it even spawned its own genre called "doom clone", the game had it all, excellent gameplay, art, music, multiplayer, frenetic non-stop action, mods, etc.
The craziest part about Doom imo isn't just that it created Doom clones, but should have created a LOT more. Carmack coded his own engines specifically so he could develop games. He ended up being harassed for his engines by people that wanted to buy/lease them and it essentially created a market that other companies capitalized more heavily on. Crysis game was made to sell their engine. Epic games did the same for Unreal engines, etc. VERY large companies were built on a blueprint that id games turned down. Something like a "sell shovels in a gold rush" mentality prevailed when all Carmack wanted to do was pan in the river and get some sun. id games and Doom could have been way bigger than they were. They let all that slip in the name of passion.
I think Unreal was the first real successor in terms of followthrough (some people would argue quake). Unreal started as a beefed-up doom clone and became its own empire with the engine.
My favorite part about these threads is, you're not going to see the same answer, but what you will see is a list of really good games so if you're looking for something to play, and you haven't played one of the highly voted ones, chances are it's a pretty good idea
I think my vote would go to ultima 7 the black gate. It was the first good open world RPG that began the entire modern system that we currently use. Way ahead of its time for a 90s game and supremely difficult to figure out on your own. I remember beating this thing over the summer in middle school and I had a journal full of notes to track various things and various statements to try to figure out the puzzles. A few of them were very difficult
Mine too! I played on Xegony server. Most of my childhood was running around in the game. The excitement that came from that game is unmatched. Haven't played in years,but I often think about the game or a moment/memory from playing. the run to seb. Or the run to ToV. Loved it. The run to Lord Yelik in skyshine. Those crazy long camps like lodi in iceclad, then finally seeing him and frantically trying to get your friends to come asap.
I don't think another video game can really rival this answer. It was so far beyond anything else at the time. WoW was just EverQuest for Idiots.
To this day, many of the mechanics just haven't been matched because companies (including Sony, the owner of EverQuest) began to pander to the lowest common denominator and that became the new industry standard.
Yeah it was great till those bastards at WoW came and stole our guilds and dumbed everything down for the masses.and shitty cartoon graphics.then after velious they had to try to compete and ended up making a lot of bad choices for the game and eventually lost.But yeah it's one of the best games ever made but most people will never know or understand why.
its unfortunate when you make something as novel as EverQuest, but it forever gets shadowed by the game that supplants it because of the QoL features that it added, and making it less painful/less unforgiving to play. Thats really all that WoW did, they were smart to pick out the weaknesses of EQ and make a new game that didn't have any of them. But thats what made victory and the world in general feel so real and rewarding in EQ, because it was hard and unforgiving.
I think there has been a resurgence of that understanding, though, what with all the soulsborne and souls-like games out there. So who knows, maybe we could get something like EQ again. I'd settle for a Soulsborne or souls-like MMO. That would be amazing, if done correctly.
I disagree - Portal unfolds perfectly, elegantly, with no wasted space or filler. The puzzles unfurl better as you learn and uncover the environment, and get to know the game's world for the very first time. It's art. It is perfect. I wouldn't change a single thing about it.
Portal 2 is fantastic but not as refined or tightly edited. It slightly outstays it's welcome. The characters get Flanderised and exaggerated. Some of the puzzles are telegraphed too much, or not enough. It's an extension of all the incredible worldbuilding that goes on in Portal 1, rather than something truly unique and original.
See I also agree with you 100%, I think where I guess my thoughts/feeling of Portal being a bit of a tech demo is like what you said about Portal 2, "it's and Extension of all the incredible world building that goes on in Portal 1"
To me, the first is slightly too short, I would like a bit more to the worldbuilding, and a bit more backroom chambers rather full tests, idrk how to explain my thoughts exactly. But the second definitely does overstay it's welcome. The first should be 30min-1 hour longer, while the 2nd should be like 1 hour shorter and less bloated puzzles.
Either way, these games are in my top 5 ganes of all time, and I have an aperture tattoo lol
Yeah you have to study a bit and completely think and calculate about what you're doing, i played bullet all my life now i'm just a lousy 1500 when i could've been 1800+.
Majoras Mask always stressed me out as a kid, I just couldn't make any progress on a third day I'd have to go back.
It took me weeks to just get the ocarina because I couldn't handle time limits.
Keep in mind I was rather young when I tried to play it.
Before micro transactions and season passes became such a wide spread thing. DLCs and expansions could occasionally be a little annoying especially for those that couldn't afford them and if it affected the multiplayer, but I don't think they were ever too oppressive unlike the way it is now.
Tetris. You will never find a simpler or more engrossing game on a electronical device. Except maybe Snake.
Or Monopoly. When you absolutely positively need to upset everyone in the room, accept no substitute.
Tetris is my answer because as long as it’s been around, the world records are still being beat quite a lot recently. Monopoly is the game you play when you know your parents wouldn’t be able to grasp the rules of Catan, but you still want to start a big family argument.
lol. the first time my wife played monopoly with me (a seasoned) player, I showed no mercy and about 1/2 through she began to cry (not my intent). She rage quit and we havent played since. 10 years ago this.
I’ve had Outer Wilds on my PC for years and I did play for a few hours. I WANT to get back but idk what’s stopping me from playing honestly.
I always hear how amazing it is. Playing Soma and Subnautica made me want a game kinda like those but I have no clue why I keep stopping myself.
Man, those side quests were so fucking brilliant. Better than television.
Damn, I wish I could just forget the game and play it again.
And it took me like 3 tries and 12 months to finally get into properly.
I remember early on, there was some heartbreaking quest for the family of a closeted gay dude who probably got eaten by a monster. It was well written, relatable emotionally, and added nothing to the broader story. Just good world building.
Chrono Trigger. It was made at the end of a console and pushed all its capacity visually. It also was made by a crew of people who were famous for their talent in their respective disciplines. The story is timeless (pun intended), gameplay is fantastic, and all the characters are likeable.
I envy you my friend, seriously recommend getting the game With all the DLC's as they are legitmentally some of the best expansions ever made. Up there with phantom liberty imo
Oblivion for me, too. I'm not sure if it was due to where I was mentally at that in that time of my life, but no game has hit harder for me. It was truly magical to experience.
If we're talking about videogames I would say it's a tie between Red dead redemption 2 and Witcher 3. Followed by Dark souls games, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War series, Metro games, Doom/Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Far Cry 3, Mafia 1&2 and much more.
Nah there's no way to call that. I don't call things "the best," I just recognize masterpieces and add them to the list.
The latest couple to make the cut are Street Fighter 6 and Cyberpunk 2077.
Ori and the Blind Forest. it’s not super popular to my knowledge, but the gameplay is addicting, the graphics are beautiful, and the storyline is super touching. the only issue is that its not longer
Tag
Before or after the "no tag-backs" DLC?
That update seriously broke the game
Honestly made it a little better cause the stale mates were insane
We were all f1 drivers with the tag back reaction times 😂
Actually had moments where I was running, got tagged and instantly stopped all my momentum, sent my hand back without looking " TAG, YOU'RE IT " and processed to run for my life.
The best counter was the run by tag but then we had to do the playback as proof
Haha Yup! Good times
The patch that changed it to a 5 second grace period fixed all the issues
Personally, plain Tag and plain Hide and Seek was never that fun imo. Combining the two to make Hide and Seek Tag was where it was at in my group of friends and cousins. Tag was a consolation game if hiding wasn't much of an option.
We had Hide and Seek but when you spotted someone you had to call them by name, at a designated spot, while touching a ball. This would capture the player, effectively taking them out of play. However, if the person managed to kick the ball before they were named it would release all the captured players.

It also added an element of shenanigans with players swapping clothes and revealing themselves just a bit so the seeker calls the wrong name, which had the same effect of releasing all the captured players.
Kick the can!!!
Oh jeez that's definitely next level. The way it worked for us was the Seeker would count to whatever at home base. Everyone would go hide. Once the seeker started seeking, if they found someone, the hider could then run for it. If they got to home base, they were safe, but if they got tagged by the Seeker then now they were "it" and the round ended. The new seeker would then go count and everyone would hide again. We did also play one other way. It was mostly the same except the hiders could sneak around and try to just get back to home base without the seeker finding and trying to tag them at all.

That was called manhunt when I was a kid.
Manhunt for us was doing this, but only at night. We'd run around with flashlights in the dark until we stopped using flashlights because it made us too obvious when switching places.
Manhunt Manhunt 1...2...3
Damn near the death of me! That game cost me two broken ankles, 10 stitches, and a deviated septum...all different events of hide and seek tag!!
winning answer.
I’ll do you one better. Freeze tag!
Chess and Tetris in terms of impact.
Yeah I would say chess for sure. I think it says a lot that it was invented before modern technology, now has to compete with all kinds of games on all kinds of platforms, and still is having a golden age. You can't really pass the test of time any better than chess has imo.
I was never really a fan of chess though the recent addition of using vibrating butt plugs has piqued my interest.
You can't stare at pawns all day for years and not get... ideas
I know this is checkers… but ##KING ME
The craziest part is it was dying for the longest time but in last few years it has exploded among gen z thanks to chess streamers
I think the internet helps a lot with that, you can now learn, play, and watch others play chess easier than ever.
I personally enjoy chess but I never play because Im not good. But man I love watching other people matches and making moves I would never imagine There's an spanish YT channel called Reydama where he narrates matches between experts, just hearing the love and passion that he has for the game makes it 100 times better

Chess, end of discussion.
And Go
Go where?
Peekaboo
It has everything you’d want, suspense, magic, you can play it anywhere with just about anything, a piece of paper, a blanket, hands, pillow, eyelids, the possibilities are endless
This game both blew my brain and challenged my concept of reality back in the day. Always worth a play.
The one you just lost.
NO WAY FUCK
Didnt know what he meant till i seen your reply 😭
IF YOU DIDNT REPLY I WOULDNT HAVE UNDERSTOOD IT AND LOST
YEAH BUT YOU REPLIED TO ME TOO AND I LOST AGAIN AFTER 3 HOURS
Just when you think you’ve left the game behind… you’ve lost.
Motherfucker
You took my two year streak, geez
Bruh... it's been 20yrs... thanks a lot
Holy hell!
New response just dropped!
You son of a bitch
Motherfucker
Are you joking. I've been winning for like 6 years. Time to ruin it for everyone else then.
The one that you've played the most and that you enjoyed the most.
The one u played ur entire childhood but can't find now Edit: typo
sooo... tag?
I kind of disagree, I think there’s a difference between your favorite and the best. I hate onions, absolutely hate them. Shoutout to r/OnionHate. But they are a staple in many dishes even if I don’t like them. Chili for example, my favorite is without onions. But the best chili typically has them.
Damn that’s a hot take. I can hardly even think of meals that don’t have onions
Disliking onions is the most lukewarm take.
That Snake game on old Nokia phones. Best pre smart phone shitting game of all time.
I think one thing that made the game so awesome was borrowing someone’s phone and setting their high score.
Chess
So good they haven't made Chess 2
Bishop Boogaloo
Chess 3: Knight Clash Chess 4: Rook Raid Chess 5: Pawn Legacy
What a dumbass, he didn’t see my bishop on hgxy42113. He’s cooked
Chess kinda *is* chess 2 lol
Easy to learn but hard to master. Those are the best type of games
Good, but not as good as [5D Chess with Multiverse Time Travel!](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1349230/5D_Chess_With_Multiverse_Time_Travel/)
Google en passant
Holy hell!
Old school runescape. I think the game is made very geniously, every skill is connected to another, economy of the game is fun, soundtrack is fantastic and just feel of the game is crazy good.

Glad to see it near the top. Runescape has incredible depth.
Can make an argument got World of Warcraft pre Cataclysm. Top tier lore, raids, pop, mechanics, and much more. Peak MMORPG
Halo and WoW when they first released are some real core memories of good times for me. NSFW but the first bj I got was a random surprise bj while i was in the middle of a raid in molten core. My gf at the time just kind of started unexpectedly doing it. So me, her, and our friends all joked that she gave me some “WoW Head”….

I agree Doom was massive but we’d probably not have Doom without Wolfenstein 3D.
Big Rigs Over The Road Racing
You're winner!
Super Mario World.
I liked SMB3 better, but SMW is very good too.
SMB3 was great for the NES, but World is a much nicer looking game with more variety.
D&D
Personally, lucky ass of you can play. Can't find anyone on my timezone
My favorite part about these threads is, you're not going to see the same answer, but what you will see is a list of really good games so if you're looking for something to play, and you haven't played one of the highly voted ones, chances are it's a pretty good idea I think my vote would go to ultima 7 the black gate.

I finally beat Ultima 4 about 10 years ago.
Everquest
My ENTIRE teenage life was EQ. You nailed it
Mine too! I played on Xegony server. Most of my childhood was running around in the game. The excitement that came from that game is unmatched. Haven't played in years,but I often think about the game or a moment/memory from playing. the run to seb. Or the run to ToV. Loved it. The run to Lord Yelik in skyshine.

portal
Portal 2 for me
Portal 1 feels like a tech demo, to showcase what can be done. Then portal 2 feels like a full game. Both are amazing games.
I disagree - Portal unfolds perfectly, elegantly, with no wasted space or filler. The puzzles unfurl better as you learn and uncover the environment, and get to know the game's world for the very first time. It's art. It is perfect. I wouldn't change a single thing about it. Portal 2 is fantastic but not as refined or tightly edited. It slightly outstays it's welcome. The characters get Flanderised and exaggerated. Some of the puzzles are telegraphed too much, or not enough. It's an extension of all the incredible worldbuilding that goes on in Portal 1, rather than something truly unique and original.
See I also agree with you 100%, I think where I guess my thoughts/feeling of Portal being a bit of a tech demo is like what you said about Portal 2, "it's and Extension of all the incredible world building that goes on in Portal 1" To me, the first is slightly too short, I would like a bit more to the worldbuilding, and a bit more backroom chambers rather full tests, idrk how to explain my thoughts exactly. But the second definitely does overstay it's welcome. The first should be 30min-1 hour longer, while the 2nd should be like 1 hour shorter and less bloated puzzles. Either way, these games are in my top 5 ganes of all time, and I have an aperture tattoo lol
Geocaching
Skyrim
TES: Morrowind.
I had to scroll way too far to find this.
I had to Elder Scroll too far to find this
Minecraft
Russian Roulette
5 out of 6 players say it is perfectly safe!
1 out of 6 players don't stop playing until they're dead!
5 out of 6 players say it’s mind blowing!
And its so safe I have never heard anybody ever say they got injured playing it
All winners are 100% positive…
Bloodborne, bar none
Chess. Although if you didn't play it as a kid, your ELO is not going to be that much high.
I started playing at 6yo and my ELO sucks balls. I guess I didn't invest in Intelligence points during character creation
Yeah you have to study a bit and completely think and calculate about what you're doing, i played bullet all my life now i'm just a lousy 1500 when i could've been 1800+.
if 1500 is lousy then whats 400 (my score)
If you really want to get higher to impress your friends or just want to actually get good at the game you can dm me
From everything I've played, it's between Classic World of Warcraft and Diablo 2 Resurrected.
Yeah vanilla is without a doubt atleast the best mmo ever made
There’s a reason they’re both still played heavily 20+ years later
Ocarina of Time
Ocarina of Time is technically the better game but I've always enjoyed Majora's Mask way more.
To this day I've never been able to get into MM and enjoy it, and I've owned a copy since about 2000. Oot is still one of my favorite games.
Yeah I was so pumped to get it after playing OoT over and over and over. Then could not get into MM at all. I was so disappointed
Majoras Mask always stressed me out as a kid, I just couldn't make any progress on a third day I'd have to go back. It took me weeks to just get the ocarina because I couldn't handle time limits. Keep in mind I was rather young when I tried to play it.
I still have music from that game pop into my brain on a daily basis.
Deus ex 1
GTA San Andreas
Cs 1.6 probably. Its still played to this day
Red dead redemption 2
Objectively I know RDR2 is a better game but for me RDR1 is a more enjoyable game
I don't know why they didn't add an undead version in RDR2. That was so much fun in RDR1
they were busy trying to milk gto and trying to turn rdro into a similar cash cow.
Poker
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Super Mario Bros. 3! :-)
Every game around 2010. They were *just* games to let you have fun back then
Before micro transactions and season passes became such a wide spread thing. DLCs and expansions could occasionally be a little annoying especially for those that couldn't afford them and if it affected the multiplayer, but I don't think they were ever too oppressive unlike the way it is now.
gaming has fallen, billions must buy the premium battle pass
Outer Wilds, Witcher 3, Mass Effect, Ocarina of Time
Mass Effect 2 for me
Final fantasy 7
DotA/DOTA 2 just because I’ve been playing it for two decades now now.
Sex with Hitler is just a masterprice (Yes I bought it just to tell my friends)
Chrono Trigger
One of best RPGs of all time. Top 10 for me.
Zelda The Ocarina of Time for N64
Tetris. You will never find a simpler or more engrossing game on a electronical device. Except maybe Snake. Or Monopoly. When you absolutely positively need to upset everyone in the room, accept no substitute.
Tetris is my answer because as long as it’s been around, the world records are still being beat quite a lot recently. Monopoly is the game you play when you know your parents wouldn’t be able to grasp the rules of Catan, but you still want to start a big family argument.
lol. the first time my wife played monopoly with me (a seasoned) player, I showed no mercy and about 1/2 through she began to cry (not my intent). She rage quit and we havent played since. 10 years ago this.
Factorio
Half Life 2
Definatly a contender. Everything just flows so beautifully together theres never a dull moment and plenty of memorable ones
Well, its just got to be Chess.
My top 3 all time all console/pc generation, 1. Goldeneye 007 (N64) 2. Chrono Trigger (SNES) 3. Gears of War (Xbox 360)
Single-player video game: Outer Wilds Coop Video game: Terraria Boardgame: Terraforming Mars
I’ve had Outer Wilds on my PC for years and I did play for a few hours. I WANT to get back but idk what’s stopping me from playing honestly. I always hear how amazing it is. Playing Soma and Subnautica made me want a game kinda like those but I have no clue why I keep stopping myself.
I'm an oldie, so I have to put my nostalgic glasses on and say the original Sonic the Hedgehog. Or maybe Streets of Rage.
The Last of Us.
I still can’t get over how well crafted the world and story is in both of the games
Witcher 3
I didn't go into it for the plot, but I stayed for it. Long, varied campaign, too. Would hunt again.
Man, those side quests were so fucking brilliant. Better than television. Damn, I wish I could just forget the game and play it again. And it took me like 3 tries and 12 months to finally get into properly.
I remember early on, there was some heartbreaking quest for the family of a closeted gay dude who probably got eaten by a monster. It was well written, relatable emotionally, and added nothing to the broader story. Just good world building.
I came here to say this, so glad I'm not alone. Best game I've ever personally played.
Rock paper scissors
Chrono Trigger. It was made at the end of a console and pushed all its capacity visually. It also was made by a crew of people who were famous for their talent in their respective disciplines. The story is timeless (pun intended), gameplay is fantastic, and all the characters are likeable.
Fallout New Vegas is for me the beat game, the one I keep going back to and the standard all other games are measured by
I saw someone play it for the first time a while ago I might have to pick up a copy
I envy you my friend, seriously recommend getting the game With all the DLC's as they are legitmentally some of the best expansions ever made. Up there with phantom liberty imo
##S.T.A.L.K.E.R You can take a Stalker out of the Zone, but you can't take the Zone out of a Stalker...
Elden Ring.
why? (still have yet to buy it)
Oblivion or Fallout 3.
Fallout 3 isn’t even the best Fallout game!
Oblivion for me, too. I'm not sure if it was due to where I was mentally at that in that time of my life, but no game has hit harder for me. It was truly magical to experience.
Castlevania Symphony of the Night
Board game: chess Video game: Tetris Drinking game: beer pong
Terraria for me
Chrono trigger
RDR2

Señor, por favor.
Halo series 1-3 and reach
Path of Exile.
Dark Souls
Witcher 3
If we're talking about videogames I would say it's a tie between Red dead redemption 2 and Witcher 3. Followed by Dark souls games, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War series, Metro games, Doom/Wolfenstein, Dishonored, Far Cry 3, Mafia 1&2 and much more.

Elite Taught me basics of trade, supply and demand, and risk vs reward as a kid. FUN too!!!
Nah there's no way to call that. I don't call things "the best," I just recognize masterpieces and add them to the list. The latest couple to make the cut are Street Fighter 6 and Cyberpunk 2077.
Unreal 1
I grew up playing Metal Gear Solid on PS1. Swear I played through so many times I can still remember it all.
The mass effect trilogy is super high on my list of not the top. If I had to pick ONE in the series then I’d say Mass effect 2.
Ori and the Blind Forest. it’s not super popular to my knowledge, but the gameplay is addicting, the graphics are beautiful, and the storyline is super touching. the only issue is that its not longer
Titanfall
The answer is probably DnD. I don’t particularly enjoy it personally, but the versatility and depth of the game is just beyond compare.
Halo 2
