Elden Ring

Baldurs Gate 3

VtolVr

Borderlands 2 (based on when I played it years ago, it was peak as a middle schooler)

Beamng (once I got a wheel, it got bumped up)

Prob not super accurate, just the first 5 that come to mind.

In the order I played them,

Metroid Prime, WoW, Subnautica, Satisfactory, Hollow Knight

Outer Wilds

UNBEATABLE

Portal 2

Rhythm Doctor

Peaks of Yore

I literally spent the entire night thinking about this lol. Don’t judge me but here we go. In no particular order:

1. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim [PS3,PS4,PC]
2. Super Mario 64 [N64]
3. Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories [PS1]
4. Pokémon Trading Card Game [GB Color]
5. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 [Xbox360]

There’s a lot of people with good taste in this thread. Will edit when I think of mine

• Wizball on the C64. I cannot even begin to explain how much fun I had with that game.
• Wing Commander III on the Amiga. Ginger Lynn Allen in all her pixellated glory? AND Tim Curry? What more can you ask?
• Ratchet & Clank (all of them) on the PS2. Shout-out for Jak & Daxter though.
• Silent Hill III on the PS2. Not necessarily the best SH game, but the first one I played, and that amusement park was the first time I was ever genuinely scared by a video game.
• Half Life 2 on PC. I mean, nuff said.

I love loads of games, old and new - I feel really bad that Uncharted, MGS, Alan Wake, Control, Death Stranding, and a load of other brilliant games aren’t on that list, but I feel like those 5 are the ones that were most epoch-defining for me for the kind of games I love.

Arma 3 Sonic 3 and Knuckles Resident Evil 4 Dark Souls 2 Metal Gear Solid 1

Lucky for me, I already had to make a top 25 when topsters lists went around earlier this year.

I can hardly believe it, but trimming this down to 5 now seems to be just as hard as building it up to 25 back then… uh, you pick 5?
