Re: "Favorites games? (Retro and Modern)"
I feel like we've done a thread like this before, but I don't mind thinking it over again!
Retro: Everquest, Transport Tycoon, Daggerfall
Modern: The Sims 4, Cyberpunk 2077, Civilization V, and any visual novel with a good story and/or art. :)

These games have a place on my wall, for historical reasons: Doom 2, Baldur's Gate 2, Deus Ex, System Shock 2, Half-Life.
For "classics" I'll add to that: Planescape Torment, Longest Journey, Grim Fandango, Civilization ... the first, I guess ... X-Wing and TIE Fighter.
Here's what comes to mind for my own lists. Modern (21st century): Outer Wilds, The Witness, Cinco Paus, Hadean Lands, Castle Doctrine, Brogue, Varicella. Older: Exile (Superior Software), Exile (Spiderweb Software), Trinity, X-COM, Nethack.

Team fortress 2 is highly addictive, i am a victim of it right now.

@vincemgn if you're diggin ULTRAKILL, have you tried out Cruelty Squad? Seems like another retro shooter, but with more postmodern satirical elements and themes similar to Rainbow Six n Hitman I'm down to hear your take on it
Does Quake 2 count as a retro game these days? It's more than just my favourite, it was the game that really got me into PC gaming when I was young.
As for modern game. I play so so so many of them that I'm not sure I really have favourites. I also find my gaming preferences vacillates depending on what's going on in my life.
So my favourites right now, in January 2024 would probably be...
Favorites games? (Retro and Modern) — Has this topic been covered already? Please lmk if in case disambiguation is necessary, thanks. It's all in the title, self-explanatory, really. What's your favorite titles to play? Both included, retro and modern age. I'd love to read about the different preferences of VG over geminauts here on Bubble. I'll start w/ 3 from each, feel free to categorize however you like tho. Retro: Streets of rage 3 (GEN), Earthbound (SNES), Doom (PC) Modern: Wipeout...
