What games do you keep coming back to?

I’ve always found it interesting how some games stay enjoyable long after you first discover them. Sometimes it’s because of the gameplay, while other times it’s the nostalgia or the community around the game.

Recently I’ve been spending some time exploring Plants vs. Zombies and some of the fan-made projects inspired by the original games. I’ve also been keeping notes about different versions and updates in this gaming resource.

What games do you find yourself returning to again and again? Are there any older games that you still enjoy more than many newer releases?

Witcher 3 - of course… Oh, and Portal 2 I’ve played through 3 times I think.

Just Cause 3, I’m a simple man, I just like blowing things up and taking down dictators!

LOL, does solitaire count? With real cards not on PC or console.

On PC I like Subnautica series, DayZ, Sniper Elite series (mostly 5 and resistance)
Oh and I like the AC130 missions on COD, install the game every so often just to run that mission. Heh… Boom

You’ll be very happy with the new free update when it comes out then Geoff? :grinning_face:

I’m tempted to purchase Witcher 3 for my PS5 Pro, I haven’t played any of the Witcher games, will that matter? I’ve watched the demo for Witcher 4 several times and it looks fantastic, hopefully the game follows through.

I love the Horizon games and I regularly go back into Forbidden West just to wander around and fight robots and generally take in the world itself, it’s simply stunning.

Honestly I can’t remember when I last played a PC or even phone game.

Used to be pretty addicted in my youth but then I outgrew my Commodore 64​:rofl:.

Used to be shoot em ups with a fantasy theme like Doom.

And Duke Nukem was a riot.

Naturally. I’m itching to start.

It’s not really necessary to play Witcher 1 and 2 before 3, although it does mean that you get a fuller introduction to the world and the major characters. I didn’t play 1 and 2 until after I had completed 3 and its two DLCs - more through curiosity than anything else. 3 stands head and shoulders above 1 and 2 on all fronts - graphics, size of the open world, number of characters and depth of the stories - and the choices you make will lead to dozens of different outcomes.

I envy anyone who is coming to Witcher 3 for the very first time - they are in for a treat.

No Man’s Sky and the series of X-games from Egosoft.

Very occasionally Solitaire or Monument Valley on the phone.

Now they were probably the last series of games I played through. I haven’t had a game on my phone since then :grin:

I was an avid gamer during the Commander Keen and early Doom games, but in the years since I have bought many and played through very few

I also fondly remember the old Jeff Minter games on the C64 etc and bought a Jeff Minter retro games pack last year which I also haven’t made it too

I had Zork on an Apple II at work. Got stuck very early in, waste of money.

Played Hexen on PC with a cheat code for a little.

Then…nothing.
