Inspired by a comment above~

I have a deep and abiding love of Morrowind. It's almost twenty years old and it looks like garbage and everything is brown but goddamn. You're going to fulfil a prophecy by cheating! The fast travel mechanic is giant insects! There is a city made of exoskeleton! There's a prison on an asteroid that is held in place by the will of a god! According to some of the lore, a person can become a god by realising they're in a game!
This shit is bananas and I love it. I would give Todd Howard my right kidney for a good remaster.

Pray for a timely Skywind release!

I live in hope

Like the commenter above said, Okami is high up there.
One of my absolute favourites is Journey, though. It's a perfect game in my opinion.

Tomb Raider 2. I know it has some minor issues (the male gaze stuff in cut scenes) but 12-13 year old me very much wanted Lara's life and I felt a great sense of achievement when I finally completed the game. At one time in my life I knew the levels so much by heart that I could complete the entire thing in a day.

Me too. That Venice boat run!

I know some people see OG Lara as male gazey and I do agree, to an extent. But she was also written with a unique amount of agency for the time, and she inspired me so much. I found so much confidence in emulating her, especially her walk.

Venice was lots of fun, but I remember hours of frustration accidentally blowing myself up trying to complete the final puzzle with the boat!

My favourite level was the Temple of Xian. It scared me half to death, especially the cavern with the giant spiders, but I loved when all the mystical elements really started ramping up. This is probably why I have a soft spot for The Last Revelation as well because it combined archaeology with Egyptian mythology and ghosts etc.

I also liked the monastery level even though the final boss was quite hard to kill the first time!

Despite the fact she was male gazey I think Lara is still a strong enough protagonist in her own right to counter all that. I actually feel like there's way more Millennial women than Millennial men who are still really into those games.

Not one game in particular, but I really like the Assassin's Creed games. I love stealth, I love stabbing people in the face, it's all good.
Well, except for the boat bits. I know a lot of people absolutely love the boat bits, but I suck at them and they stress me out. I just want to swim over to the other ship and stab everyone.

...Worms 2.

\0/

TMI but I'd suck dick for Dark Souls. Seriously, the dream is to find a beautiful man as into the franchise as I am. Ah, to bond over and find love in offline Lordran. Oh ho ho~

Tempest (I am Olde).

Hmmm, I have played World of Warcraft the most. But for just wonderful game, I'd say it is a tie between Ocarina of Time or Bioshock. I've played both multiple times.

Beyond: Two Souls.

lol

I'm only back on Dreamwidth after a couple years hiatus because after twenty freaking years Vagrant Story still owns my soul and I started writing fic for it again. (And making another cosplay for it and I ordered the 20th anniversary figures because seriously I have wished for VS merch for the entirety of that 20 years and also last night lay awake trying not to get out of bed and start drawing fan art again too. It's literally the only thing that has made me happy in the last couple years other than my pets.)

My carousel favourites - the ones that are ALWAYS installed on my computer - are 1. Elder Scrolls Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim, 2. Dragon Age Origins, and 3. Thief The Dark Project and Metal Age. I can play all these over and over again and never get bored.

Planescape Torment and Outcast get honourable mentions for massively contributing to my formative years and just being incredibly groundbreaking and creative games in themselves.

Perennial favourites also include Heroes of Might and Magic III/IV and Dungeon Keeper for when I'm in a strategic mood.

pokemon platinum and pmd: explorers of sky. i've played both repeatedly throughout the years, and they're always a good, relaxing time.

The Xenosaga series. And Suikoden II.

head over heels, because i am old and british

Game as art: Transistor
Most replays: Never Winter Nights: SOU, and HOTU.

Age of Empires II
It's also the only one I have, but I love building my little village, exploring the 'world', researching things like horse collars and hand saws so my people can farm and mine and build more quickly/easily.

I just wish I could still play with someone!

Super Mario Galaxy. It's the right amount of challenging without being so hard it gets dull like those Souls games. I don't like it enough to get all the stars, but I still really like it.

The first Mass Effect was the only game I actually applauded after I finished it.

VtM Bloodlines. The Ocean House quest was the first time I was ever genuinely scared playing a video game. I've played the game so many times, and that house still freaks me out.

I also have a deep fondness for Gothic 1 and 2 because they were my first games. (The third one is okay, but the less said about Arcania, the better.)
