Rules: just pick 1 and explain why.

I've been playing since the NES and despite being from a low income family I had the luck of being able to play and own many consoles over the 3 decades of my life, plus some pc.

If you ask me right now? Resident Evil 4 (2005).

A before and after in gaming, to this day still extremely fun to play even for casuals but 20 years ago it was THE masterpiece. And everyone took notice of it, everyone played it, even players that didn't cared about resident evil. The gameplay was so good that it got photocopied by everyone right after in the action genre.

Arguably the last big innovator in videogames minus Minecraft and... PUBG (Fortnite did it better I know).

Try to NOT pick your favourite game, that's a different thing.

RuneScape

I don't personally play it anymore but it having still players to this day and thriving proves it.

Edit: On second thought it's probably Java Edition Minecraft. Thing spawn an industry around it. Now people's livelyhood depend on it. A generation learning java programming just to make plugins or mods. I bet this also what increase the number of java developers. Probably inadvertently also introduced to Blender. Being accessable and sandbox made that possible.

Never understood people's obsession with RE4. It completely changed the series from survival horror to action shooter, as if we didn't have enough of those already. One zombie used to be terrifying. Now there's hundreds coming at you at once and they go down easily. They removed most of the puzzles too and dumbed down the ones they left. Somebody please tell me why everyone loves this game!?

Give me the first two Resident Evils over the 4th one any day. Hell, I rather play RE3 than RE4.

What's more relevant to the world? What felt like an evolution? I love almost every RE but 4 did history for the entire gaming universe, not just horror.

Original x-com was great you had lots of research to do, bases to set up with defenses, manufacturing, storage, radars etc. Could make money from both loot and manufacturing your own products.

Then there was intercepting UFOs with your fighters followed by the actual missions were you could use all your researched gear, get loot, capture Aliens to interrogate for more research and level up your soldiers.

I still play the openxcom version now and again with various mods but yeah as a kid I used to play the original on the original PlayStation with its mouse and it's without a doubt the game I've probably spent more time on than any other.

Wasn't a huge fan of the remade ones to me the original is the best one.

Concord.

...what? I liked it. 😉

GTA 5 is the most high quality game ever made I think, story graphics gameplay it's truly number 1

Space station 13 is peak gameplay though, completely organic with amazing depth

It's hard to say since it's like comparing apples to oranges when comparing different genres.

  • Action Adventure: Dark Souls 3
  • Survival crafting: Subnautica
  • Base building: Factorio (Subnautica strong second)
  • RTS: StarCraft 2
  • City builder: Cities Skylines w mods, otherwise Cities Skylines 2 probably
  • Card game: Slay the spire
  • Rougelike: Enter the Gungeon (Hades strong second)
  • Turn based strategy: Chess probably, never gets old
  • RPG: Skyrim probably, haven't played Baldurs Gate and don't remember enough about Dragon Age Origins though.
  • JRPG: Chrono Trigger
  • AFK/cookie clicker: Magic Archery (1-2 hours to complete and fun throughout), Leaf blower revolution is strong second
