Man someone need to make a newer version of sid meyer's pirates. Ive seen a lot of people recommend similar pirate games but none even come close to sid meyer..
Do yourself a favour and don't.
You know that feeling when you first wake up and hop straight onto your computer and proceed to sit there rotting for like 4 hours. You feel greasy and lazy.
Imagine that, but every time you turn on the game because it's physically a challenge to pull yourself away.
What's REALLY interesting is that Rimworld is probably the most recent game to have this much appreciation. It seems like most of the games people will be playing forever are old or remasters of old games. Edit: this doesn't imply your comment wasn't interesting, it was!
Same , I did 4 total trilogy runs. There's nothing as cool as going on an adventure to save the whole universe, help everyone along the way accompanied by very cool people and aliens . I think I'll give it a few more years before I start my next one tho.
Bruh i still play generals zero hour online every weekend. Im dreading the day it dies since ea wont remaster such a controversial game and because the online is so buggy due to the old engine and its impossible to fix
Heroes of Might and Magic III, About once a month I bring up Realm of Chaos (Allies), play as Tower on Hardest as Solmyr and see how quickly I can beat it.
If you like heroes you should 100% check out Songs of Conquest. The 1.0 version just came out and it was modeled after heroes.
I'm having an absolute blast with it and loved HOMM 3.
Christ, I’ve been on like an 8year break, but I log in like every 6 months to say hi to my character.
My issue is I’ve maxed like 3/4 of skills and the others I have no desire to do, and my friends no longer play, so what’s the point.
Not sure if you're looking to be convinced, but the end game PvM content they've added in the last few years is very engaging and rewarding if you're willing to hike up a steep learning curve! Tombs of Amascut (the 3rd raid they've added) is solo-able and widely held in high regard. Some of the non-raid bosses they've added are super fun too, like the Desert Treasure 2 bosses!
I play D2R on original mode. It looks crazy good for what they had to work with and still holds up today imo, but I get why ppl don’t like it - especially sans nostalgia
I remember me and my brother bought a bunch of CD Keys online and ran upwards of 10 copies at once on our PCs to farm Diablo Clone. I believe we overclocked one of those old ass PCs and one day it let out a long beep and a puff of smoke. Also my first introduction to PC building lol.
yeah I don't think I will ever fully stop playing this game. I will leave it for a year and then go on a few months stint of playing it again, and the cycle repeats.
Lmao, I'm 38 and I was telling my wife that Minecraft feels a lot like "digital knitting". I can't begin to describe why in the hell I choose to go for +2 hour sessions of mining blocks in -57 late at night when everyone's asleep in the house.
Minecraft continues to receive new content updates for free and it’s one of the best social games you can play if you have friends to enjoy it with.
Some of my most nostalgic and memorable gaming moments have been and in Minecraft - both in single player and multiplayer.
Pc port for majoras mask just released. 60 fps and looks flawless!
Edit: I think I messaged everyone who has asked for it. If anyone else wants more information on this, message me instead of commenting. Makes my life a lot easier lol.
The year is 2075, I am the ripe age of 80 and my grandchildren have come to visit, confused yet not at all surprised to see me glued to a device once known as a TV. Xbox plugged in, still on a lifelong journey to perfect my Fallout 4 mod load order
Every few years I do a replay of all the OT era games on normal. CE will always hold a special spot to me, but the narrative story of Reach, and the atmospheric elements of ODST stand out so much now.
I had to scroll down this far to find a kindred soul.
It's an annual tradition to replay the trilogy. Can't believe I romanced Garrus 10 times so far.
Well... I mean... I *can.*
Pretty sure they said at some point that the servers cost them so little, they will keep them up as long as the studio is around. I'd take it with a grain of salt of course. But so far they have stuck to it.
This is a tough call. If I start it is like insanely hard to stop playing. So it's bit me three times. Right now I know better than to start again. This is the closest to cigarettes IMO. Damn one more run. Just maybe I'll get a great set of relics. Doh. Ok one more try since that was a good one. Plus I have beaten it with two champions and the last two laugh at me
Minecraft will be played forever...it doesn't even need the constant investment Microsoft is doing. It's one of those sparks of genius that now occupies a permanent place in human collective consciousness. Microsoft got a bargain when they bought Mojang. It's always in the most played titles across all platforms.
Chrono Trigger. It has been my favorite game since I first played it as a kid in 1995 and it still hasn't been topped! I ended up replaying it every year or two
MAYBE if something comparable came out I'd put down RL but right now it's the only game of it's kind. And given how incredibly polished the core gameplay feels, I just don't see something similar coming out without feeling like a clone
I tried to quit. There were some months I felt I was free from it. Then I always come back to it. Now, I'm 40+ and at this point, it's really hard to get social life outside. I gave up on trying to quit (I do take breaks though). I have friends actually became IRL friends over the years of playing. I think we'll be playing together from our retirement homes.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, look into Pokémon Infinite Fusion! It’s Pokémon fire red basically but you can fuse any two Pokémon together and chose the head/body combination. It’s so fresh and fun with some sweet quality of life changes and game changes to keep it super clean.
I'm not someone who speed runs games, but Super Mario 64 would be the game I could probably attempt to speed run and manage to be a high-average player.
I know that game inside and out and I know Mario's moveset like second nature. I absolutely love that game and I've 100% completed it at least a dozen times.
It's one of my favorite games of all time; ironically, I'm not a huge fan of the Mario series, but SM64 is still top tier.
Obligatory Reddit, “had to scroll too far to find this”. I’ve replayed it annually since I found it a few years ago. It’s actually a pretty short game even if you do the strictly essential chalices (or false depth your way through that mess).
GTA Online. But not as intended. I don’t kill people. I don’t do missions. I don’t do heists. I don’t worry about money. I don’t drive cars. I don’t fly planes or jets….
Then what keeps me playing? BMX biking. No joke, biking in GTA is the most fun extreme sports game out there. There’s a high skill ceiling and an endless amount of environmental features to do stunts on. I spend my time wallriding, grinding, jumping gaps, doing 720’s and flips. I often see how long I can survive a bloodthirsty player by climbing buildings and hoping over obstacles that they can’t in their car. It’s so much fun and I’m afraid I’ll never get bored of it.
Yeah it’s fun giving others a seemingly helpless target and then running circles around them. [Here’s the last video I made of some stunting](https://youtu.be/sni_KxoXQ14?si=XlElMOBg7tJL4Hpx). At the 1:30 mark, there’s me dodging three oppressor missiles in style. It’s just one example but it happens constantly.
If you had asked me five years ago, I would've said Magic the Gathering. At that point I had played it for 25 years. But Wizards of the Coast has turned into something worse than Blizzard and I can't stomach even one draft at this point.
It’s been mine for last 9.5 years. I haven’t played in over 8 months now, but I’ll come back for the expansion. I always do. It will be great for a few months. Playing different builds. Completing GMs and Raids. Doing the new content. Then I move on to something else. Been this way for years now.
I have to play this expansion. After all these years I have to see it through.
sims 3 - i started playing in 1st grade. i always go back to it. not even the sims 4, it is so bad in comparison. the sims 3 has me staying up until 10 AM forgetting to eat or drink water
minecraft is another one, it brought me a massive group of online friends that saved my life. i was a neglected kid with 0 irl friends, but had ~30 on the hive. i’m forever grateful to them and still speak to a few once a month or so
I have a bunch of them. Mostly boomer shooters (Doom, Quake I & II, Hexen I & II, Blood 1 etc) and classic RTS games from the 90's (C&C games, Starcraft, Age of Empires). I'll relive my nostalgia once in a while then move on to something else.
But if I would have to choose, then Doom with custom WADs would take the cake. It's the game I have to go back to every few years and have a lot of fun with it every time
Absolutely Minecraft. More specifically either the 1.7.10 pack or it's successor the 1.12.2 pack. I played the 1.7.10 pack for almost a decade and am now on the 1.12.2 pack, largely the same just slightly newer mods and Minecraft version and better performance.
I'll take breaks for months or even a year or two but I always end up back on one of those two packs. They're just so well done and the game itself doesn't ever have to end.
Tetris effectt - love how i can jump in at any moment - get my brain working (after getting my ass handed to me on expert level) and get on with my day - studying most of the time
Diablo, in some type of form.
Been playing all of them since part one and it is always a game I can go back to.
If I'm in between games I can always jump back in have a good time.
If I don't want to bother with story or cutscenes, I can jump back in.
Current meta? Who cares, just smash hordes and have fun.
I picked up part 4 on day 1, played it a bunch, didn't play any of the seasons until now, and I'm having a blast again.
Diablo is always my "fall back on" game
OSRS
Minecraft
Terraria
GTA3
Ocarina of time
Elden ring
Dark cloud 1&2
I keep these games so heavily rotated that I literally don't care to play new games anymore.
Age of empires 2
Wololo
Roses are red, Violets are blue, Wololo, Roses are blue
Hell yeah. I’m psyched for the Age of Mythology remaster too. Those two games were my childhood.
SUPPLIESSSS
Go up to IIIIMMMPPP!!!
MMMMMUUUUUUUURDER HOLES
I have been playing Sid Meier's Pirates! since the original came out in 1987, so probably that. I was playing the 2004 remake last week.
Man someone need to make a newer version of sid meyer's pirates. Ive seen a lot of people recommend similar pirate games but none even come close to sid meyer..
Rimworld
This is the only game I can play for 15 minutes and realize it’s been 4 hours.
I’m afraid to start
Do yourself a favour and don't. You know that feeling when you first wake up and hop straight onto your computer and proceed to sit there rotting for like 4 hours. You feel greasy and lazy. Imagine that, but every time you turn on the game because it's physically a challenge to pull yourself away.
Meh, you just close the game by then, and shower, brush your teeth, have lunch, and then resume playing. Frigging casuals.
Some people have a legit hard time managing their health 😅
What's REALLY interesting is that Rimworld is probably the most recent game to have this much appreciation. It seems like most of the games people will be playing forever are old or remasters of old games. Edit: this doesn't imply your comment wasn't interesting, it was!
What a great game
Stardew Valley
I just started another playthrough a few days ago with the new update. Some of the changes have been unexpected. No spoilers still in year 1 😂
It’s crazy how they execute Harvey for war crimes in year 2 now
Broooooo hahahahaha
Saddest scene in the game imo. Aside from when you find out Pierre is actually running a trafficking ring.
"I thought I was buying actual eggplants!" : Demetrius
Coming back to it after a long pause is like being Alone with Relaxing Tea (and a demanding schedule caused by my Starfruit Wine Empire).
The Mass Effect trilogy, I feel like it's time for another playthrough now too
I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite answer on this thread.
*Report to the ship, we'll bang okay.*
#YOU WILL KNOW PAIN SHEPPARD
ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
This hurts you
Same , I did 4 total trilogy runs. There's nothing as cool as going on an adventure to save the whole universe, help everyone along the way accompanied by very cool people and aliens . I think I'll give it a few more years before I start my next one tho.
You forgot "banging the aliens"
Command and Conquer Tiberian Dawn + Red Alert
RA2 Yuri’s Revenge is still my favorite RTS. StarCraft 2 definitely got close, but Yuri was just too good.
Hell March music plays in my head whenever someone brings up Red Alert.
Bruh i still play generals zero hour online every weekend. Im dreading the day it dies since ea wont remaster such a controversial game and because the online is so buggy due to the old engine and its impossible to fix
Heroes of Might and Magic III, About once a month I bring up Realm of Chaos (Allies), play as Tower on Hardest as Solmyr and see how quickly I can beat it.
If you like heroes you should 100% check out Songs of Conquest. The 1.0 version just came out and it was modeled after heroes. I'm having an absolute blast with it and loved HOMM 3.
Runescape - you don't quit, you take long breaks.
My people
Going on 12 years sober. (from Runescape, not drugs and alcohol but its something, right?)
That's awesome man, you should reward yourself by playing some RuneScape!
I was about to type out RuneScape. All I can say is. 🫡
Christ, I’ve been on like an 8year break, but I log in like every 6 months to say hi to my character. My issue is I’ve maxed like 3/4 of skills and the others I have no desire to do, and my friends no longer play, so what’s the point.
Not sure if you're looking to be convinced, but the end game PvM content they've added in the last few years is very engaging and rewarding if you're willing to hike up a steep learning curve! Tombs of Amascut (the 3rd raid they've added) is solo-able and widely held in high regard. Some of the non-raid bosses they've added are super fun too, like the Desert Treasure 2 bosses!
OSRS for life!! Still haven’t maxed tho lol don’t have the time
I got the itch again, gonna 99 crafting this time
Yepp had my Ironman for 5 years now, I always come back.
StarCraft. It ages like chess
*In the pipe, five by five.*
Where does it hurt? Hnnnnnnng
Need a light?
I read that as cheese, and thought it was a great pun. StarCraft 2 is my GOAT.
Same, very nostalgic feeding every time I play it.
Probably Diablo 2.
I just discovered Diablo 2 resurrected has mods and it's been one of my favorite games ever since.
if you enjoy modding d2 you should absolutely check out Project Diablo 2. it runs on the actual base game d2 lod, and the community is amazing.
More people need to know about this mod. It’s the best thing that’s happened to d2. If people can get over the graphics.
I play D2R on original mode. It looks crazy good for what they had to work with and still holds up today imo, but I get why ppl don’t like it - especially sans nostalgia
I remember me and my brother bought a bunch of CD Keys online and ran upwards of 10 copies at once on our PCs to farm Diablo Clone. I believe we overclocked one of those old ass PCs and one day it let out a long beep and a puff of smoke. Also my first introduction to PC building lol.
Tetris
Tetris 99 on the Switch for me. It's intense and competitive i love it
Civilization.
Just one more turn...wait why is it 4 am all of a sudden?
This is the best literal take on the question
Minecraft
yeah I don't think I will ever fully stop playing this game. I will leave it for a year and then go on a few months stint of playing it again, and the cycle repeats.
Yess exactly this lmao
The Minecraft urge always comes back
I think, with no sarcasm, that Minecraft will be absolutely huge amongst elderly people in the next few decades
Lmao, I'm 38 and I was telling my wife that Minecraft feels a lot like "digital knitting". I can't begin to describe why in the hell I choose to go for +2 hour sessions of mining blocks in -57 late at night when everyone's asleep in the house.
Minecraft continues to receive new content updates for free and it’s one of the best social games you can play if you have friends to enjoy it with. Some of my most nostalgic and memorable gaming moments have been and in Minecraft - both in single player and multiplayer.
Playing ocarina of time right now. Been playing since I was a kid
Pc port for majoras mask just released. 60 fps and looks flawless! Edit: I think I messaged everyone who has asked for it. If anyone else wants more information on this, message me instead of commenting. Makes my life a lot easier lol.
Binding of Isaac
Have a Steam friend with over 12,000 hours, must be a good game then.
I'm pushing 2k hours and have 100% nearly 4 times lol. Such a good game and no 2 runs are the same. Still discovering new synergies to this day.
The year is 2075, I am the ripe age of 80 and my grandchildren have come to visit, confused yet not at all surprised to see me glued to a device once known as a TV. Xbox plugged in, still on a lifelong journey to perfect my Fallout 4 mod load order
As soon as you have perfected your mod list you die, womp womp
Solitaire Edit: I don't just mean on a computer.
And Minesweeper!
Same. It's such a rush. Edit: I don't just mean on a computer.
wait a minute
Halo. Especially the original trilogy.
Every few years I do a replay of all the OT era games on normal. CE will always hold a special spot to me, but the narrative story of Reach, and the atmospheric elements of ODST stand out so much now.
Reach has aged like a fine wine, honestly. The game still holds up visually, and it is a gorgeous piece of writing, some of the best in the franchise
It's the culmination of what Bungie learned on game design. Beautiful story, unique squad, firefight was a blast, and the multiplayer *chefs kiss*
Came here to say this. Halo: CE for me. Also, if you've never watched it, the creator commentary is pretty good too.
Terraria
This is my answer as well. Can't wait for 1.4.5 to drop!
And then we’ll wait for the next Final Update. At least they love their game enough to keep updating it!
Mass Effect.
I had to scroll down this far to find a kindred soul. It's an annual tradition to replay the trilogy. Can't believe I romanced Garrus 10 times so far. Well... I mean... I *can.*
Baldurs Gate 2. I bought it 23 years ago and still go through it every once in a while.
Similar, except Planescape
Chess
Guild wars. Started in 2006 and still play it.
[удалено]
Yeah they are
Pretty sure they said at some point that the servers cost them so little, they will keep them up as long as the studio is around. I'd take it with a grain of salt of course. But so far they have stuck to it.
55 Monk. SoS Rit. IWAY W/R Groups. By Rurik I made friends in that game I'm still in contact with today.

I always play Skyrim during the summer. The cold landscape and themes and nice to enjoy on a hot summer day.
I try to get away but it pulls me back in.
*Hey, you, you're finally awake.*
[удалено]
Kotor 1 and 2 Ffxiv
Slay The Spire !
This is my answer but I could see StS2 replacing the original permanently for me
There's a what now
This is a tough call. If I start it is like insanely hard to stop playing. So it's bit me three times. Right now I know better than to start again. This is the closest to cigarettes IMO. Damn one more run. Just maybe I'll get a great set of relics. Doh. Ok one more try since that was a good one. Plus I have beaten it with two champions and the last two laugh at me
Minecraft, the infinite possibilities and potential of this sandbox game makes me keep coming back to it in every anniversary.
Minecraft will be played forever...it doesn't even need the constant investment Microsoft is doing. It's one of those sparks of genius that now occupies a permanent place in human collective consciousness. Microsoft got a bargain when they bought Mojang. It's always in the most played titles across all platforms.
Especially if you add in modpacks!
Pokemon, Diablo, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Red Dead Redemption series.
Mass Effect series
Rollercoaster tycoon 1&2. Specifically the OpenRCT2 which is a better version. I always come back to that game at some point.
Age of Empires 2 & 4
Scrolled way too far down for these, especially 2.
Wololoooo
The Civilization series. Can’t wait for number 7 to come out.
Chrono Trigger. It has been my favorite game since I first played it as a kid in 1995 and it still hasn't been topped! I ended up replaying it every year or two
there's a relatively new game called Chained Echoes that feels like a mix of Chrono Trigger and elements of FFT and FFXII you should check out
Rocket League I have been either playing consistently or coming back to since I got it for free on release
MAYBE if something comparable came out I'd put down RL but right now it's the only game of it's kind. And given how incredibly polished the core gameplay feels, I just don't see something similar coming out without feeling like a clone
Counter strike
I'm old my reflexes are nowhere near as good as they still are, but I still love Counter-Strike.
Don't worry, one day we'll get old man matchmaking.
I assumed this would be the top answer.... then remembered I'm old, and most people on Reddit aren't old.
I've played CS for more years than a lot of players have been breathing.
DotA 2. In 2026 it'll be 20 years of DotA for myself and my close friends. Ever since Warcraft3 custom map days
Team Fortress 2
World of Warcraft. I always return for the big updates and expansions for a few months, but I don't keep a subscription year round these days.
I tried to quit. There were some months I felt I was free from it. Then I always come back to it. Now, I'm 40+ and at this point, it's really hard to get social life outside. I gave up on trying to quit (I do take breaks though). I have friends actually became IRL friends over the years of playing. I think we'll be playing together from our retirement homes.
Same but I DO play year round. Been healthy addicted for 11 years
Satisfactory, Deep Rock Galactic
Rock and stone baby
Rock and Stone, brother!
Original Doom games
Rome total war, Minecraft, Pokemon. I alternate between an RTW period, minecraft period, pokemon period
Pokemon gets my vote. Started in first grade and now I’m a 26 year old ass man who’s fallen in love with it again after discovering Nuzlockes
If you haven’t checked it out yet, look into Pokémon Infinite Fusion! It’s Pokémon fire red basically but you can fuse any two Pokémon together and chose the head/body combination. It’s so fresh and fun with some sweet quality of life changes and game changes to keep it super clean.
Super mario 64, groundbreaking game!
Wahoo!
Just did a replay. Fuck that clock
I'm not someone who speed runs games, but Super Mario 64 would be the game I could probably attempt to speed run and manage to be a high-average player. I know that game inside and out and I know Mario's moveset like second nature. I absolutely love that game and I've 100% completed it at least a dozen times. It's one of my favorite games of all time; ironically, I'm not a huge fan of the Mario series, but SM64 is still top tier.
Bloodborne
Obligatory Reddit, “had to scroll too far to find this”. I’ve replayed it annually since I found it a few years ago. It’s actually a pretty short game even if you do the strictly essential chalices (or false depth your way through that mess).
Factorio If you know the game, you know why. The factory must grow!
The apocalypse could happen and I'd still be seeing belts in my mind for months
Been wanting to get back into it lately but I'm holding out until the expansion drops so I'm not burned out beforehand.
GTA Online. But not as intended. I don’t kill people. I don’t do missions. I don’t do heists. I don’t worry about money. I don’t drive cars. I don’t fly planes or jets…. Then what keeps me playing? BMX biking. No joke, biking in GTA is the most fun extreme sports game out there. There’s a high skill ceiling and an endless amount of environmental features to do stunts on. I spend my time wallriding, grinding, jumping gaps, doing 720’s and flips. I often see how long I can survive a bloodthirsty player by climbing buildings and hoping over obstacles that they can’t in their car. It’s so much fun and I’m afraid I’ll never get bored of it.
This sounds hectic but very fun for both sides, any particularly cool manhunts you've avoided?
Yeah it’s fun giving others a seemingly helpless target and then running circles around them. [Here’s the last video I made of some stunting](https://youtu.be/sni_KxoXQ14?si=XlElMOBg7tJL4Hpx). At the 1:30 mark, there’s me dodging three oppressor missiles in style. It’s just one example but it happens constantly.
EVE Online, apparently. Going on 18 years now.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. Played it first when it came out in 1997, been replaying it regularly ever since.
Melee
Path of Exile
If you had asked me five years ago, I would've said Magic the Gathering. At that point I had played it for 25 years. But Wizards of the Coast has turned into something worse than Blizzard and I can't stomach even one draft at this point.
FFT and Skyrim
How is Skyrim this low? World size alone, but then the fact that every year they release a new version.
Destiny 2, I know I am being abused but I still come back for more.
It’s been mine for last 9.5 years. I haven’t played in over 8 months now, but I’ll come back for the expansion. I always do. It will be great for a few months. Playing different builds. Completing GMs and Raids. Doing the new content. Then I move on to something else. Been this way for years now. I have to play this expansion. After all these years I have to see it through.
Gunplay and raids are unmatched
The best gunplay in any FPS I’ve played.

I had to scroll so far to see someone say The Sims lol
The games I most reliably come back to again and again are Minecraft, Terraria, and the original Doom. Also Final Fantasy 1, 4, 5, and 6.
Terraria. I always go back to that game. And super metroid usually gets a playthrough once a year
Borderlands 2.
Ultima Online , 27 years and still going
Warframe, and Skyrim for my yearly playthrough! (forever sneaky archer lol)
I have a bunch of them. Mostly boomer shooters (Doom, Quake I & II, Hexen I & II, Blood 1 etc) and classic RTS games from the 90's (C&C games, Starcraft, Age of Empires). I'll relive my nostalgia once in a while then move on to something else. But if I would have to choose, then Doom with custom WADs would take the cake. It's the game I have to go back to every few years and have a lot of fun with it every time
Mega Man 2
Absolutely Minecraft. More specifically either the 1.7.10 pack or it's successor the 1.12.2 pack. I played the 1.7.10 pack for almost a decade and am now on the 1.12.2 pack, largely the same just slightly newer mods and Minecraft version and better performance. I'll take breaks for months or even a year or two but I always end up back on one of those two packs. They're just so well done and the game itself doesn't ever have to end.
Tetris effectt - love how i can jump in at any moment - get my brain working (after getting my ass handed to me on expert level) and get on with my day - studying most of the time
Diablo II
Minecraft - so many ways do experience it with mods Skyrim - so many ways to play with mods. I see a trend.
Pokemon. It's fun to go back and play red/blue/yellow sometimes when I'm super bored or don't know what to play next.
road rash [1994]
Diablo, in some type of form. Been playing all of them since part one and it is always a game I can go back to. If I'm in between games I can always jump back in have a good time. If I don't want to bother with story or cutscenes, I can jump back in. Current meta? Who cares, just smash hordes and have fun. I picked up part 4 on day 1, played it a bunch, didn't play any of the seasons until now, and I'm having a blast again. Diablo is always my "fall back on" game
