Related to a post I made last year, but a little different because (1) you get to choose 10 now instead of 5, and (2) other games don’t get deleted, you just aren’t able to play them, so you don’t need to think about the good of humanity or anything, purely just selfish picks because it only impacts you.

A couple notes:

  • Any equipment necessary to play the games, you’re obviously allowed to have
  • You can play any DLC for the games you choose
  • You’re not allowed to make any games for you to play. If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
  • Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though
  • If there was historically a trilogy, for example, that now is sold on a major storefront (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation) as a single game (such as Mass Effect or Hitman) that counts as one game now. Game bundles, though, do not count. Basically, if it’s in one entry in your steam/xbox/ps library, it’s one game

I’m interested to see what this community chooses, and hopefully it’s different enough from my old post to warrant some good discussion here.

    Oof, going to have to trim my favorites (story, single-player) simply for the replay value ones.

    1. Minecraft: been a decade or so but the open-ended style means almost infinite replay value.
    2. Cyberpunk 2077: Just love the lore and world. I have over 1k hours, another 1k won’t be hard. With mods, even more.
    3. Metal Gear Solid Master Collection 1: These games are ridiculous and I love them.
    4. RDR2: Story-based but I can kill a LOT of time just by not rushing. Lovely game.
    5. Stardew Valley: So much replay value, so much to do in one playthrough alone. Easy pick.
    6. Minesweeper: Great for killing small amounts of time.
    7. Timberborn: Scratch that colony sim itch.
    8. Subnautica: scratch that survival-craft itch.
    9. Balatro: for variety i guess. Enjoy it well enough.
    10. Sekiro: Haven’t finished but I need a hard skill check for when im feeling masochistic.

    Runner Up: Mass Effect trilogy LE. Fantastic games, and I need that space itch scratched too. Bumped for genre variety reasons.
