Team Fortress 2
Minecraft. Even with all the shitty updates there is so much to be done in Minecraft that it’s honestly mind boggling. Almost anything is possible especially with mods. Only downside is Microsoft’s greedy ass owns it

I feel compelled to mention Luanti here, just in case it’s not on your radar. Also VoxLibre.
It’s uh, well it’s done.
And it’s fully open source so it continues to grow.
And it’s lighter and faster and has cleaner network code than MineCraft.
And it doesn’t have M$ enshitifying it.
Disclaimer: I love this game and want to see the community grow and grow forever. It’s so good and I want to keep playing it until I die.
Edit: I forgot to mention it’s completely free and runs great on Windows, Linux, SteamDeck and Android.
Otherwise known as M$
Satisfactory
Portal
Breath of the Wild
Alan Wake 2
Slay The Spire. Really excited for the sequel.
Factorio.
Dwarf fortress but I haven’t played that in a long time. It will outlast most other games however.
Valheim and Prey (2017)
Mother 3
it feels like it was made for my brain specifically to enjoy it lol
Portal (1&2)
Portal is amazing, also the community DLC but unfortunately not my greatest.
I’d go with something like Satisfactory or Dota 2 (gasp).
Either Chrono Trigger or Pokemon White
Dwarf Fortress.
They’re even making sequels to “the carp stands up” now. They added exercise to the game, and now carps get fucking ripped as fuck just swimming upstream, so when they start walking on land they’re there to just destroy you and everything you hold dear.
I wasn’t going to say df but I’m realising now after thousands of hours in that game there’s STILL new things to learn, that was a wild ride thank you
Deus Ex
My favorite game, the game I can always come back to, is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind
Wealth beyond measure, sera.
WHAT A GRAND AN INTOXICATING ANSWER
Cyberpunk 2077 for me, it has everything, an amazing story with great characters, fantastic gameplay, a banger soundtrack, and an interesting world that’s fun to explore and feels like a real place.
Grim Fandango. Despite the weird tank controls, it created such an amazing world - and all in a point-and-click adventure. My home PC is named Manny, our NAS is Eva, the router/firewall is Glottis, and so on.
Also, Psychonauts. Just a perfect 3D platformer.
Grim Fandango is an amazing story about life and death and love…
… Built upon an engine where the protagonist walks around at sloth speed. Manny Calavaras just sashays along, and there’s no way to speed his ass up. I wish you could hit escape or something to skip him walking in and out of scenes, but nope! I’m forced to watch him drag his feet from location to location.
But the most touching parts of the story stick with me after 20 years.
Have you played Psychonatus 2? How does it compare? I haven’t, but I’ve been wanting to, but I also have limited time, so I’m looking for the next game after Baldur’s Gate 3, which I’ll complete in the next 3-4 months with my availability lol
I have. In fact, I backed the development of it.
Definitely worth playing. Maybe a bit less memorable than the original, but also a bit more consistent. There are no huge difficulty spikes like the Meat Circus in the original.
The story is a bit more complex, and a bit more muted. Most of the levels are less memorable. But absolutely worth the time to play and enjoy.
