I have a large library of steam games, but yet always come back to Garry mod and ravensfield. I keep coming back for the modded content and every other game is excellent, don’t get me wrong. But a lot of big games like RD2 and watchdogs 2 just seem like such a long time investment. What 2 games do you infinitely come back to?
No man’s sky and palworld
No Man’s Sky and Light No Fire
Skyrim and Witcher 3. Shoutouts to Baldurs Gate and Witcher 2, but the latter is far too short for me to want it on my “you can only play this” list, it’s quirky but there’s something special as hell about it for me. I’ve played it through about 15 times.
I only need one and is called “Space War” 🧐
Hahahahhahahha
Dirt Rally 2.0 (with my sim rig and VR headset).
I don’t need a 2nd game.
Factorio.
Second game: Factorio, with mods enabled.
Fallout 4 and Civ VI
Easy
Are you me?
I have 1300 hours in FO4 and almost 8600 in Civ6.
Baldur’s Gate 3, and um… Warthunder. Maybe Elite Dangerous instead of Warthunder. But why can’t I play the $650 worth of other games that I bought and barely played?
If we get access too all future updates, Dwarf Fortress is my clear #1 choice.
If we also assume that the game will forever have an active enough userbase that lack of players won’t be a detriment: Infinity Wars as my #2.If we assume no updates, no mods and no guarantee of users: Tales of Maj’Eyal and probably some 4x or grand strategy game, it’s a tossup between Civ, Gal Civ, and Endless Legend, maybe even one of the Total Wars.
Oh dwarf fortress is a good pick!
I’ve only played it for a handful of hours to see how it’s actually played. It’s certainly a game that rewards the effort you put into it.
Satisfactory and Titan Quest
I would say noita and beatsaber.
Yeah, if I could only play that I might eventually beat it
I was also gonna say Noita, it’s so good, especially now with some new mods
The store tab and the library tab
It must be awesome hoarding all those games huh?
I feel attacked
Don’t worry I have potion!
This one
Tough question. I’d say Stellaris and Neverwinter Nights.
Stellaris is giant with so many options, it would take a while to get stale.
Neverwinter Nights has hundreds of homebrew campaigns available, and with the PRC mod also hundreds of classes & races to play.
So I’m going for longevity. These two definitely wouldn’t be my first choices for top games.
Elder Scrolls Online and Minecraft. There is enough story, social, and creativity that I would hope it works out.
Once Baldurs Gate 3 gets solid modding, and assuming modding is allowed, that takes a spot.
Minecraft is not on steam unfortunately and I don’t know how wise it is to choose a multiplayer only game like ESO since they will eventually shut down the servers
Ah forgot the steam part.
I figure I would get bored of ESO in 15 or so years when it closes. I suspect any game will lose me at a point. For the time it’s online, it would offer a lot.
I’ll sub Minecraft out for No Man’s Sky. Valheim was close to taking the spot but it just doesn’t ring as fun when friends aren’t around. I would pace myself big time.
Does BG3 not? I used tons of mods that seemed regularly updated.
I could be wrong, I haven’t modded yet, but I think official support is in the future. That’s when I suspect it will really shine.
I just looked it up, and the first thing that came up was a ton of articles about a series of tweets Larian put out today explaining that they’re working on official mod support, but that they’d like to ask people to stop being toxic assholes and threatening their devs.
So I guess they don’t have official mod support, but the mods that are and have been out for months are amazing. I highly recommend Native Camera Tweaks, WASD Movement, 5e Spells, and Hexblade Warlock (gish class that makes your spellcasting modifier and melee stat both Charisma so you’re SAD instead of MAD on both Str/Dex and Int/Cha). There’s also a bunch of other QoL mods that are worth getting too.
Assetto Corsa (assuming mods are included) and Factorio (again, with mods, but to a lesser degree).
