So here's a question I don't think has been asked yet. What's your favorite game? I don't just mean, what's your favorite right now since that's basically just asking what have you been playing recently, (at least for me it would be) and while I would also love to hear about that in this thread I'm asking a different question: What game is and always will be your favorite? That one game you keep coming back to after years and years? Tell us about it!

I'll start.

For me it's Cave Story. Which if you haven't played it, it's free (you'll want the Aeon Genisis Translation), or if the chiptune/graphical style isn't for you then you can get a version with better graphics and remastered music for about 15 bucks on steam. Or if you don't wanna play it on your computer it exists on a few different platforms.

I played this game for the first time when I was around 11 or 12 (holy shit it's been that long.) I had heard things about it from my brother, namely that it had multiple endings and multiple primary weapons to choose from. But I didn't really know much else beyond that. But it wasn't until that time that I got my first gamepad, a shitty Logitech controller that looked like a PS2 controller. With this new controller I sought out games that I could play with it, my brother suggested Cave Story and I thought "what the hell, it's free!"

I expected some nicely paced platform-shooting. What I did not expect was an AMAZING video game soundtracks that has been remixed to death, a really awesome story arc with characters that are interesting and memorable, a secret ending with an awesome payoff, and more polish and attention to detail than anything I've seen since ... all produced by ONE GUY IN HIS SPARE TIME.

There's just so many things that this game does right I can't even begin to describe it.

So what's your favorite game?

(edit 1: words)

This question gets really tricky if I drop some of the nostalgia choices (Golden Axe, Fighting Force) or my recent "hooks" (Awesomenauts, Terraria, Don't Starve). And I don't even game that much!

I'll have to go with Worms 1. I remember writing down condensed strategy guides from gaming magazines to my notebook before I even had a PC to play them on. Later came failures trying to "carry" a pirated version in a bunch of floppy disks to my 486 beast. I can't put a finger on what exactly fascinated me about the game, but I think it was a mix of turn-based strategy, awesome characters, battling my friends, crazy weapons and oozing charm + humor in every aspect of it.

Never got any good at it, hah.

One of my favorite Games of all times is a rather unknown one called Deadlock II: Shrine Wars. It's old but still very good! Furthermore, the "slow" pace of the Game suits me better than my old Counter-Strike addiction.

If I had to pick a favorite game ever, it would be Super Mario Bros. 3. I guess it's more accurate to say Super Mario Advance 4, since that's the version I had, but it's pretty much the same thing. I've always really liked how Mario handles in that game, and the level designs are really solid. I bet a big part of the reason I like it so much is because I played it as a kid, so it felt like a huge game since it took a long time to beat since I wasn't as good at video games. But it still holds up pretty well today!

As far as more recent games go, Ori and the Blind Forest is up there because of how pretty and polished it is, and Undertale is up there because it's Undertale.

Majora's Mask for all time favorite. I also recently added Downwell to my top ten, which just recently replaced Shoot First as my favorite indie game

It's hard to pin down one favorite game for me, So I made a list in no particular order:

• The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
• Deus Ex (the original, not a fan of Human Revolution)
• Shatterhand/Tokyuu Shinrei Solbrain
• XCOM: Enemy Unknown/Within
• Chrono Trigger
• Drill Dozer
• Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
• Solatorobo
• Fallout 3
• Fire Emblem: Awakening
• Corpse Party
• Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

almost certainly gone home. i mostly play (and make) small, arcadey action games but when i play a really well-made narrative game (like gone home is) it just gets to me. i couldnt stop thinking about it for like a week after i beat it

I have a few games I really liked, but haven't thought about them much since. These are Portal, Bastion, Dust: An Elysian Tail, Megaman X and some others I don't remember.

But if I'd have to pick a favorite, I'd have to pick two (or three). Civilization V, Fallout: New Vegas and Undertale. Civilization I probably love so much since it was the first 4X I properly got into, and still play to this day. Fallout: New Vegas was just such a good RPG, and the graphics didn't bug me as much as in FO1/2.

Undertale seems like just the greatest game. I guess I can't judge it as a game, since I've only seen let's plays and streams, but man, that game is something else. I'm kinda disappointed that I didn't play it by myself, but I really wish I had. It was a great experience even though I wasn't the one playing the game.

Final Fantasy VI.

That's easy! (old gamer here) - Played tons of games back in the 386/Pentium days, but for 10 years plus I played one game - Paradox's original Victoria An Empire Under the Sun (and I'm counting the revision Victoria: Revolutions in with this) That's right. Only game I played for a decade plus! Probably put in a dozen hours every week. Thank goodness my son convinced me to check out Steam last year at this time. Now I'm sitting on 3200 games to make up for that lost decade.

My favorite is Godshita: http://mygodzillagames.com/godshita

My favorite game of all time is first edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, which I first played in 1982. The game is so much my favorite that I bought the 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manuel for my 13 year-old son.

It is because of the grandfather of roleplaying games, that I make RPGs. Playing a Neutral Good cleric, might also explain why I am also an ordained minister.

long time since anyone has responded to this post butffor me it's hard to really say. I guess it's between these games (no order)

• Illbleed
• Zettai zetsumei toshi series
• Crono triger
• Psychonauts
• Silent hill 2
• Shadow of colossus
• Mother 2&3
• Haunted grounds

But somesome game I seem to play over and over again aren't exactly my favorite but there fun and I keep coming back to it

• Berserk
• Lady bug
• Communist mutants from space
• Pacman

I most like the Path of Exile (PoE) I play PoE all the time, so much that when going to the store I convert the prices on PoE Orbs ^^ The patch will be released in a month. Best PoE Shop what I know is https://Odealo.com

My favorite game is The sims 2. I spent so much time on it... I even drew a comics about the adventures of my families... Great memories =)

My favorite games of all time are Roller Coaster Tycoon 2 and Robot Arena.

First, sorry for bad english. Second, I have lots of favorite games that marked each part of my life. I discovered who I am thanks to them. And I still love and would play with no problem. But let's get started by order.

1) Childhood

- Donkey Kong Country: the first game I beat. I love those Nintendo games that much. I mean... they have lots of secrets and I just made 101% of completion at 2013. I was born at the 90s, so you can imagine the time I took to discover, thanks to the internet. And I guess it's something that I miss in games nowadays... those top secret things..

- Street Fighter II: if DKC was the first game I beat, SF was the first game I beat a boss. I can't say I beat the game, since I only used to play with Ryu and Chun-Li. But this game and another one that's coming are special for another special reason, they inspired me to become a game designer. So yeah, it was thanks to Street Fighter that I make games.

- Tekken 3: so we finally reached the second reason I wanted to be a game designer. But this game made me into another special part of my life, discovering my sexuallity. I never felt anything, until I saw a topless Heihachi and figured out that I was not like the other boys. But because I was just a child, I didn't know I was that different and couldn't understand these feelings. Too bad Heihachi is a villain.

2) Puberty

- Grand Theft Auto San Andreas: When I discovered this game I was immediately fallen in love. I never played an open world game before. The freedom, the countryside, the desert and those radios... I always connect places with songs... so GTA was like a treasure for me.

- Resident Evil 4: This is the game that made me want to play more horror games and activated my desire to do level design and horror games.

- Crash Twinsanity and Crash of The Titans: I always loved animal characters and that's another reason I liked Tekken for having Kuma and Roger. But then, thanks to this game I discovered I was a furry. I mean, at that time I already knew I liked MILFs and muscle mature men, but then... Crunch Bandicoot.

- Silent Hill: I love this game. I mean... I can see parts of this game in every indie horror game. Resident Evil has this aspect of feeling fear of being killed. But Silent Hill.... maaaan. You just feel uncomfortable since the very first moment. It's not about feeling fear of jumpscares or getting killed. it's about being horrified all the time.  I'd compare thoe games to a war zone. Resident Evil -like games are like when you are in a present shooting. Silent Hill is the aftermath, when everything is destroyed and you are not fearful, you're not at the risk of death, but you are going to be traumatized for the destruction it caused and the decomposing destroyed and suffering corpses that you saw.

3) End of High School and College

- Sonic CD: I played the remastered version, so I don't like the american soundtrack. Actually, my first contact with Sega games was after 10 years since they ended developing consoles. I have no regrets. Anyway, I loved this game because of the japanese OST and the time travelling and butterfly effect thing of changing the future. Too bad they didn't make a butterfly character. I guess it'd fit more to the story and the hole concept.

- Persist: Since I attended a Game Design college, I had contact with a thousand indie games. This small Flash one inspired me to make small games focused in storytelling and nice pixel art.

- Five Night's at Freddy's: I don't care that much about the third and fourth installment, but I do love the two games. Not only for the creative use of point and click and the inspiring theories from matPat, but this game has something different from other horror games. The jumpscare is a punishment. So yeah, it's not scripted like other horror games. It's a horror game about skill. I believe there are previous games like FNAF that uses skill to avoid jumpscaresr, but FNAF was the first one I've met.

- Undertale: Now this game is my newest favorite of all time. Every part of the game, except for some toxic fan base, inspired me. It saved me from bad times, since I live in a hard country to make money and my family was about to be thrown out of our rented house. Undertale was the game that told me to be determined, not to give up on life. It taught me that's not wrong to feel hope and to dream. That forgiveness may not harm your pride that much. And also, concluded the fierce odyssey of discovering myself, who I am, what I like and all those things. It was thanks to this game that I felt courage to tell people besides my family that I am different and it helped me to figute out that it's not wrong to be different. And it also made me feel interested in more RPG games. I really loved playing Earthbound, for example.

Anyway, I wrote a lot. But thanks... this was good for my soul. :D

Runescape is pretty fine

I play really different games like Dota, Counter Stricke, Kaboo Casino or Minecraft and many another...  A lot of my free time I spend playing

I really can't narrow it down to just one but for sheer hours sunk into it in my youth, I guess I'd have to go for Pirates! (not the more recent "Sid Meier's Prates!", although that was good too).  Spend so long and it never felt old somehow, with the different time frames, diverse challenges depending on your nationality, reenacting famous voyages, all within a dynamic game world.  So yeah, there are about 20-30 games that could be my "favourite ever" depending on my mood at the time, but I'm going to go with the original Pirates! on the Atari ST.

I kind of burnt myself out on gaming right now. Recently, I have been 

playing a lot of the older COD games, like COD 2, WAW, etc.

And I have a few favorite over all:

Halo

Tomb Raider

Gears of War

Hyperdimension Neptunia

Project Gotham

Mr. Bet Casino review

Sonic the Hedgehog

Mario

Crash

I have many favs, but If I would to say which would be my favs it would be, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 (the old one) and The Thing The Game (2002). I haven't played NFSHP2 since i was like 12 or 13 so it was quite a long time ago and I'm currently playing The Thing The Game on my Windows Vista o_o , yea I said Vista. It's weird cause it runs faster on vista than windows 10. 

My favourite game is Slotozilla

My favorite is The Long Dark  as my former favorite was Warlords Battlecry III 

Hollow Knight! I love everything about this game!

My favourite games are BlackJack and Live Pocker at https://slottyvegas.com/

As playing casino online is not only the way to spend your leisure interesting, but also to earn some extra money.

I think it's Rayman 2 or Beginner's Guide for me and for MadameYavi it's Dark Souls III (this might change with the remastered version of the first one)

For me, I've always been a fan of LittleBigPlanet and Marvel vs. Capcom games. I always liked just waking on the weekends playing on my PS3, and playing these nostagic games. I wasn't really that much of an artist creating levels on LBP but loved going on community and playing those bomb survival levels!

I didn't really play the first Marvel vs. Capcom or the Origins (which is basically the remastered first game) but Marvel vs. Capcom 2: New Age of Heroes is the time. With my siblings and cousins, I use to play this game day by day, by day, by day, by day. (Not as much as LittleBigPlanet, but so much).

Those were the games I played when I was young, and I still play these games, (Also King of Fighters XIII, and Portal 2, but I didn't really play those that much.)  

So that was it, I hope somebody can agree to this!

Hi , i like this new game TARG.IO it's much faster than similar games and it has no lag

My favourite one is Grand Theft Auto, all of the 3D versions. I've played them past year in chronological release order. <3
In my opinion, they're the best sandbox of their respective times.

MECHWARRIOR 2

I like series of games:

• Metal Gear Solid(and Rising),  
• Devil May Cry, 
• God Of War, 
• Rainbow 6 games, mostly Siege

These are the ones I can think of now.

Oh, I like playing computer games, I was great fan of them in my teenage years and I still play them time till time, however now that happens not too often because adult life is much busier  :p 

My the most favourite one is Half Life 2, in my opinion it's the best games which had been ever made. I played it so many times and I dream about releasing third episode some day. They should end that amazing plot!  :) 
I also like GTA, Hitman and Alien VS Predator series, the last one from them was really good. BloodRayne is my favourite too, in my opinion it's one of the best ones in case of main female character. Chaser, Thief and Prey are good ones too. 
I like some mmorgs too, especially Cabal, Shaiya and World of Warcraft. But I don't play them often because I don't like much that donating thing for such types of games.
And I adore virtual gambling, especially this site  and card games, it's a great fun for me too but I've never spent too much money on such games.

I like strategy games on the PC when I’m playing single player and sometimes multiplayer. Usually ones that I can relate to history (but do not follow a historic campaign). Specifically, Europa Universalis IV, Age of Empires 3, Stronghold Crusader, and Mount and Blade Warband are among my favourites to playlaughing

When I’m looking to play online with friends, I usually play games like CS:GO (Counter Strike Global Offensive), Brawlhalla, Warframe, Left 4 Dead 2, Rocket League, or Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege.
Somtimes I have a feeling to play online poker or Agent Jane Blonde slot. Why not
I don’t stick to a genre. I also enjoy coasting around on GTA V, or building a base in a survival game like Rust or YLands or Minecraft. Or even managing my own company in Game Dev Tycoon, my own gladiators in Domina, or my own island paradise in Tropico 5.laughing
When I’m feeling console games, I play Super Smash Bros 4, Mario Kart 8, Mario Party 4, Animal Crossing, Pikmin 2, Pokemon Colosseum and Gale of Darkness.
I also like picking up my DS every once and a while and playing Pokemon Sun or Pokemon Pearl/Diamond.
So many games, so little time.

I started to play old Prey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prey_(2006_video_game) a week ago, it's an old game but I heard many positive reviews about it. At the current moment I can say that it's a good one, has really interesting plot and playing interface, however it's really a scary one and rather specific in case of plot so I can't recommend it to everyone. Atmosphere in it reminds me in many ways famous Alien VS Predator games and they're really scary.

I'm also trying online games American Poker II because I adore gambling and was curious to check the virtual types of it. In general they're nice but there's so much scam for them that I've become tired of checking firstly every game I tried... Live casinos and so on seem better for me but maybe my opinion will change in future.

1. Oneshot
2.  Crosscode
3.  Owlboy
4.  Hyper Light Drifter
5.  Mario & Luigi rpg series

When I was youthful, regardless I got a playstation 2 for Chirstmas. To me, it was one of the best exhibits that I got. It was my first genuine gaming framework, and from that point forward, I cherish sitting before my T.V. playing amusements like Call of Duty and Lord of the RIngs. I commonly played with companions doing Co-Op and raving palaces. I truly delighted in playing those amusements since they were simply so extraordinary. I adored Call of Duty since playing a first individual shooter made me feel relatively like iw as very the activity. I additionally adored playing the master of the rings for the most part since I like the motion picture and now I could play the motion picture. Presently regardless I play the Call of Duty arrangement for the most part since they are quicker, more quicker and the designs are stunning. I likewise began play killzone 3 as it is more cutting edge. On my ipod contact, I just have a couple of diversions, for example, irate winged animal and doodle hop which are both extremely irresistible. There are ordinarily when whatever I do is play computer games in light of the fact that either another diversion turned out or there was some astonishing refresh. Be that as it may, unfortunately, there are commonly when my computer games do impede school work. 

My favorite game of all time is SaGa Frontier 1. I basically got it by coincidence (my best friend pushing it into my hands with the words "This game sucks, you can have it"), it was my first Akitoshi Kawazu game and I just loved everything about it. The OST was the best I've ever heard. I loved the art style of 2D anime sprites on photorealistic backgrounds. I loved the gameplay. Alone the different movement patterns of monsters outside battle and the fact how fast you run make dodging monsters a fun little challenge. The combat system was just brilliant. It had cool combos and a lot of surprises with its skill sparking system. It was super exciting. The game also managed to make a game where a character's build is customizable but at the same time it's impossible to mess up your build. I just loved the stat growth idea. I also loved the full recovery after battle and save anywhere idea which suddenly allowed every single battle to be a challenge without having to replay a large portion of the game if you fail it. I also like how the game played out outside of combat. You could explore a large world, but instead of bombarding you with pointless kill and fetch quests, everything that happens in the game is a surprise. You might just wander around aimlessly for hours, but then suddenly you talk to a random NPC and find yourself in a dungeon you haven't seen before. The whole game has this vibe of mystery. You don't understand the numbers behind the game, and you don't need to. And that makes this game such an incredible experience.

FFVII. That's the one I know I'll be coming back to in the future as well.  

my favs are minecraft, kingdom hearts, fortnite, apknite's paint pop 3d, mario

My Favorite game is Asphalt 8 Airborne Game.

Monkey Island 3 - Best adventure game I played
Devil May Cry 3- I fell in love at first sight

Witcher 3 - an amazing game

Ken ga Kimi and Black Wolves Saga- best otome(visual novel) games I played

Fallout 2 got to be the one. Enjoy it on so many levels of perception.

//Destro

My favorite game eh?

Well i would have to say the 東方 project ( I like most of them -_- )

Favorite game of all time for nostalgia reasons: Driver 2

Otherwise, L4D/L4D2 would probably be my pick. Maybe F.E.A.R. for a single player choice.

Gothic 2 with expansion and fan-made modes for it. Best game in the world!

My favorite game all time is Shinobi. I used to play it in the grocery store when I was barely tall enough to reach the joysticks and it's always been a game I can jump into and play any time. The first boss scared the crap out of me the first time I saw Ken Oh, that shit was wicked. Shinobi and Rolling Thunder were both my favorites but Shinobi wins by a small margin, and it's sequel Shadow Dancer was great too.

My favorite game is Cory In The House for DS

If you mean ever, not on itch. I don't know, it's probably half life 1.

I like PUBG
