      Day of the Tentacle is one of my first PC gaming memories. My friend’s brother had a PC that could play it, and I was in awe. I remember he had to uninstall it to make room for Duke Nukem 3d…

      I am embarrassed that I didn’t name Torment… that game was amazing and so far beyond Baulder’s Gate 2.

        I was so excited when I stumbled across the Enhanced Edition on Steam! (I hadn’t played it since it was first released, and had lost the original disc)

    Boom Blocks - Wii - top of my list. Not because it’s a good game, but because my kids and I had uproarious hours spent playing it together.
    Video game I have not yet figured out the name of. It came out in 1986(ish?) and it had a robot/cyborg in a kind of metroidvania level set. Macintosh.
    Doom, the original. Scared the PISS out of me. Then I played it hardcore after that. Doom II came out and I set up LAN parties and opened up my nascent IT outsourcing business for those. Helldivers 2 - Honestly, I haven’t actually engaged with a game this hard for decades. Senua’s Sacrifice - This game helped me considerably, in understanding the people I love. Doom 2016 - What’s not to like. It’s perfect. Starcraft II - When it came out. Excellent weaving of story and gameplay. HI-FI Rush - Unexpected fun. Zork - I would have never expected this level of amazing story telling this many years ago.
    I know I am short of 10, but I can’t think of anything else.

      I tried Disco Elysium, and I really appreciate everything it did/was trying to do, but I simply could not get over the pacing, long-winded conversations, and lack of guidance.

      Don’t get me wrong, I love narrative-based games and open-ended exploration, but what amounts to turn-based game mechanics are too slow, and a complete absence of any obvious paths to take makes the game unapproachable.
