Do you have that "One Game" that you seems to come back to every year like a clockwork? Replaying it either just for the sake of it, nostalgia, or even finishing it again?

I got a few. Skyrim is one of them but it's most likely just to have fun with installing mods and then play it only for an hour xD But I got one that I always replay and finish once a year, which is Mass Effect Trilogy, and recently the Remastered version of it.

How about you?

Any Fallout game but mostly New Vegas, I kind of gave up gaming when the 360 reached end of life then when the Switch released I had to have one. Zelda and the Witcher 3 and Skyrim were great on it but the lack of decent games left it languishing in a drawer.

I bought a Steam Deck last year and it completely blows the switch out of the water. I absolutely love it. I don't have the time to get set up in front of a TV and play a console but the deck is top class. Pick it up and put it down. Considering I mostly play 5 years or older RPGs it is the ultimate machine for me. I've even been playing EA golf games via emulation that run great. I even got Dopewars running on it.

But yeah New Vegas all the way, I'm currently playing Fallout 4 mind u.

You ever played New Vegas modded with A Tale of Two Wastelands? Or New California?

The Mass Effect trilogy. It’s my comfort game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm on my 24th playthrough of the first game. I don't always go through the whole series because the first one is my favorite game of all time but I play it at LEAST once a year.

Heyyyy my fellow Mass Effect player!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I periodically return to TES III: Morrowind or Gothic 1 & 2.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've been playing Civilization IV & Nevewrwinter Nights fairly steadily since they came out.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure multiplayer games count here, I always go back to this party game called "Ultimate Chicken Horse". It's quite simplistic, but I got TONS of hours out of it so far.

I replay all the fromsoft rpgs on their corresponding anniversaries.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ocarina of Time. Sometimes emulated, some times OG N64 and sometimes on the 3DS. Fav game of all time

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

It's a rotation: Deus Ex, System Shock, E.Y.E, System Shock 2.

Hoping to add Peripeteia to the list this year.

Perfect Dark
Still the best couch multiplayer shooter

There's only one Deus Ex.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Earthbound and Super Metroid. I love the games so much. I also do The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past every other year or so.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Old School RuneScape! An addiction is hard to break..

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Been playing it less and less lately, but Team Fortress 2 always gets at least one launch per year.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I replay Knights of the Old Republic 1&2 every so often. They're just so cozy to get wrapped up in.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Skyrim but I feel like that's a free pass for most people. Besides that, Bioshock always seems to re-appear on my desktop and get a playthrough.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Alpha Protocol, Prey 2017, Disco Elysium

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Dwarf Fortress, going on 15 years now!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

City of Heroes and Ultima Online (Outlands).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Red Dead Redemption 2. Still my favorite in game story of all time.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Classic Doom/Doom 2, as there's an endless number of wads and mods for it, I would say I play it even more than just once a year, its probably more like a few times a month

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Mirror's Edge

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Uncharted series is fun to go through. Civ 5 also, but I have to be careful I don’t lose three days of my life.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Night in the woods. It resonates with me a lot, plus Greg rulz

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead

Single-player, open-world post-apocalyptic zombie survival roguelike. Always has new stuff being added to it and has for years. Come back after being away for a bit, and there's a ton of new stuff.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

1994's X-Com.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wazhack. Still haven't beaten it. It's a traditional roguelike (cf. nethack) presented in the unusual format of a 3D sidescroller. The dev is prolific about updating it year over year. Trust me on this one, game is a mix of hilarious and infuriating

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Huh. Thanks -- I enjoyed it, but wasn't aware that it was still being updated. May have to take another look and see what's new.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For me it's gotta be a driving game of some sort. Whether American/Euro Truck Simulator, or one of the Forza Horizons, or Dirt Rally. Whenever I'm itching for some escapism I'll play those games while catching up on podcasts. No Man's Sky as well

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Duke Nukem 3D, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 and GTA 3, for me. They just feel cozy at this point...!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

For me, it's Path of Exile and I play it about 4 or 5 times a year whenever a new season rolls around. The novelty wears off after about a week or so but it's always nice to see what the new seasons hold

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Tetris, The Crew 2, Worms World Party / Reloaded and Tricky Towers - sometimes with my son (10). Yeah, looks like I'm old school hrhr

My all-time favorite is still Tetris - in all variants. For years I loved to play Kirby's Avalanche.

I also remember playing Duke Nukem 3D and Quake 3 Arena for a decade or so.

There is always a point in the year when I get life overwhelmed and turn to either Stardew Valley or a souls-like.
