    I’d say Baldur’s Gate 3.

    With Demons’ Souls a close second. For those of us who got to play that game before Dark Souls became a thing, when we knew next to nothing about what to expect, it was an almost revelatory experience.

        Man why is did the list go so thin in the later years? Straight up nothing for 2021?

          The criteria for inclusion:

          The games listed here are included on at least six separate “best/greatest of all time” lists from different publications (inclusive of all time periods, platforms, and genres), as chosen by their editorial staffs.

          This excludes every new title until six publications update their list. Then of course the title has to be good enough to be included on those lists.

            Oh. Maybe if I read the criteria of being on that list before just indulging in it I would have understood. Thanks.

    My favorite game, the game I can always come back to, is The Elder Scrolls III - Morrowind

    Recently, I would say Roadwarden, was such a great game with such a unique feel to it.

      That game is one of my saddest histories. As a bit to young to play it I bought it and found it immensely boring hust slogging through the dungeon at the start. Didn’t understand the weapon system. Eventually after several tries I got into the city proper but couldn’t handle that fist boss fight. Put it aside and never picked it back up again. Still have the game somewhere. No PSOne tho’

    Detroit: Become Human

    It was the only story ever that has pulled me in completely. I wasn’t just playing it, I was living it. It took me 2 more days to come down to earth after finishing it.

    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.

    My personal favorite will probably always remain the Mass effect trilogy.
