  • Half-Life/Half-Life 2
  • The original Fallout
  • The original Doom
  • Brutal Doom (the campaign)
  • Star Control 2 (The Ur'Quan Masters fan-made modernized version)
  • The Neverhood
  • Subnautica (not Below Zer0)
  • Duke Nukem 3D
  • Total Annihilation
  • Megaman (the first one)
  • Megaman X (the first one)
  • Team Fortress 2
  • Portal 2

This is by no means an all inclusive list. These are just games that I personally played that fit the criteria.

If only I could play subnautica for the first time again. Such an incredible atmosphere. Another one of my favorites is Hollow Knight.

Doom. The game that solidified a gaming genre and has become a benchmark for computers. 'Can you play doom on it?'

A lot of good suggestions but my first thought was Final Fantasy X.

Has he not heard of Ocarina of Time?

Witcher 3 is pretty good

[–] meep_launcher@sh.itjust.works 10 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I always felt like Breath of the Wild was Lord of the rings animated by studio Ghibli the videogame.

I beat breath of the wild solely because I was holding out hope that it somehow got good at some point.

The dungeons and boss fights were enjoyable. But there were only 4 of those and the rest of the game was sorely underwhelming.

Tears of the kingdom is the first Zelda game I didn't care to finish in 30 years. I've even beat Zelda 2.

Final fantasy 6 Chrono trigger Capcom vs SNK2 Soul Calibur 2 Super Mario Bros 3

These games all stand tall as giants of excellence decades after their release. Teams have already decent renowned executing at the peak of their genre with true craftsmanship and deep care into their design from mechanics to aesthetics to music to gameplay.

The Persona series comes to mind. But probably more than anything Witcher 3, Skyrim, Disco Elysium, Stardew Valley, No Man’s Sky, Nier Replicant/Automata, Metal Gear Solid 3, there’s actually quite a few imo.

Edit: oh and dwarf fortress!

[–] plenipotentprotogod@lemmy.world 20 points 3 days ago (8 children)

No Man's Sky

Isn't this the one that crashed and burned on launch, but the devs owned their mistakes and put a ton of work into patching and upgrading? What a fuckin redemption arc for it to end up on this list unironically.

Skyrim is pretty bad compared to LotR, but pretty good compared to video games.

Witcher 3 may be the better pick from what I've heard, but I've barely played it.

The obvious choice, after reading other comments, is Baldur's Gate 3.

Made with love, but definitely has its flaws, so don't know about forever.

I feel like the labor of love part being something like Factorio, Satisfactory, NMS is fitting. Also grand scale, holds up well, graphics aren't the main point
