I like the old DOS games I grew up on.
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Simcity 3000
Age of Empires - The Age of Kings
Civilization 1, 2, 3.
Space Empires IV
Binding of Isaac: Repentance. Man, hard to believe it all started as a flash game demo. I’m still playing it even now. Probably the best Roguelike game ever made.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (It was actually ported over from the Wii U to the Switch, it was just that good, they used it for two console generations)
WoW TBC, was my favorite expansion. A good mix of sci-fi and fantasy that hasn’t really been seen since, maybe pockets of the theme in Legion when we went to Argus.
Borderlands 1/2/3, hard to me to choose, but the best looter-shooters to ever exist, imo. I’ve replayed each one like twice.
Grand Theft Auto 3, GTA Vice City, and GTA San Andreas. They were the precursor to all the 3D GTAs we have now, especially GTA 5. The next one, GTA 6, is reminiscent of GTA: Vice City.
Deep Rock Galactic is probably my most recent addition to the list, it came out in 2020 (early access in 2018) and easily has the best in-game community I’ve ever been a part of. Looking forward to the sequel game coming out soon.
Minecraft, obviously.
Honorable mention to the Half-Life series games, too bad they couldn’t release Half-Life 3 and continue the story. It basically ended on a cliffhanger.

most of the final fantasy series except the new stuff; ff7 remake is boring
witcher 3
dark souls series, particularly elden ring, also including the BIS bloodbourne
rocket league (snagged a couple GC titles years ago & hung up the sticks)
hearthstone BGs
PvP in general like DAoC, Darkfall etc. some good PvP titles coming up
God of war & GOW: Ragnarok
Diablo I, II, and III. IV is hilariously bad in contrast to the older titles
Command & Conquer '95 & Red Alert
heroes of the storm ARAM was pretty decent to mindlessly play even though I’m now perma banned (not my proudest moment at all, embarrassing really)
super mario 1, 2, and 3
contra on SNES
final fight on SNES
goldeneye on N64
perfect dark on N64
assassin’s creed: origins - odyssey & valhalla sucked so does this new one
fallout 4 is goated
RE:7 is still BIS but village is insanely good too
original mario kart unparalleled
SC and moreso SC BW
ES: Morrowind & Skyrim
ocarina of time although the new switch titles BOTW are insane
doom and duke nukem are goated

I loved all of those, too. I’d add Transport Tycoon, Locomotion (was a bit later), and Theme Hospital as well as Theme Park.
I really need to check out the modern games in this genre. I suppose the automation genre (like Factory) are related, though I haven’t successfully gotten into those yet. They get overly complex quickly and I think I prefer the simpler games where I don’t need to watch a playlist of beginner videos before I can dive in.
I actually bought Football Manager 2024 earlier this week (I’m European and that series seems to be huge here) when I remembered how much I liked some of the late 80s, early 90s simulation games. I made it as far as starting a new game, then I threw my hands up when I got screens and screens full of data and tables. Decided I need to watch some videos first. Haven’t done that yet as it already feels like work.

On the whole haven’t played too many games outside of MMOS
All the Infocom games.
Civ 1-4
Lemmings
Dungeon Keeper 1
Oblivion
One of the Dragon Ages, maybe it was 2? The one where you found out you were going to turn into a monster eventually. That story rocked and some of the bits were truly unsettling to me.

This was the first narrative SP game that I loved and actually finished after I took a real break from WoW. I had major trouble getting into any “normal” games after many years of WoW, and nothing kept me engaged - until I found Zero Dawn.
The first few hours were pretty slow, but once the story grabbed me, I couldn’t put it aside. The world was so intriguing and I wanted to know what had happened. All those lore bits strewn about added so much to the immersion. I played this on PC, then actually went and bought a PS5 so I could play the sequel (was about to come out at the time). Also replayed Zero Dawn on the PS5 and got all the trophies for it.
The sequel, Forbidden West, was absolutely stunning, but it didn’t quite engage me as much as Zero Dawn had. The mystery was gone, and I didn’t like the more complex combat. Zero Dawn was the simpler game. Technically less advanced, not as incredibly pretty as Forbidden West, but for me it was the better game. I’ll still replay FW on PC too, but I’ll wait for some discounts.
