For me personally, any game in the Super Smash Bros series.

They've always been a go-to when hanging out with friends, in their time.

Melee still has a following. Nobody likes brawl because of tripping (among other things i'm sure), but I learned how to mod brawl and added so many custom stages and character skins. Sm4sh was ok, and Ultimate is so complete.

Yeah it's Nintendo and "it's always moral to pirate Nintendo games" and there's plenty to complain about their online services but I've played smash so much that every time a new game comes out immediately a must-buy.

Terraria

Valheim

Chess

I have been playing a lot of Arma reforger and rimworld lately and I love both but they definitely won't meet everyones taste.

Binding of Isaac for me. Endless replay value.

Celeste. Great fun Mario-level game, but with a deeper story in both game and in development.

As i sadly have not found them here:

-Gothic (all three). One of the first non-us-centric and it showef

• giants:citizen kabuto. Weird genre-mashup that also was funny.

And a ton more I'm too lazy to list.

Absolute Balderdash. It's the most replayable and funniest board game with a crowd. I've hurt my ribs many times through laughing too much.

There could be hundreds that I post here, but going to just say the ones I go back to again and again.

Satisfactory, The Planet Crafter, Stardew Valley, Death Stranding, Kerbal Space Program, Cities Skyline, Cyberpunk 2077, Stray, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Duke Nukem 3D, Doom 1 & 2, Decent, and of course Skyeim.

Katana Zero: Just try it. It's a 2D action platformer with good story.

The classic Doom collection, classic Doom has a massive modding scene and you can put the wads into a source port like GZDoom.

Which kind of games. From an Rpg perspective,

• Alice is missing a silent Rpg, which is played using instant messenging. That one is absolutely crazy, with a lot of potential for bleed

• Blade in the dark, which is basically the latest revolution in Rpg. And led to the FITD games, it kept the yes but partial success from previous generations of PBTA games, use long term actions (aka clock) for everything (same mechanics for opening a lock, seducing the princess or fighting a guard), and has this downtime phase which is more than just spending XP. It also has flashback mechanic letting you jump to the action and plan latter

• Mork Borg, the system is fine but banal. However, the weird aesthetic makes it a must have in a rpg lover collection

Metal gear solid 3 is IMO one of the best games ever made

Mass Effect Trilogy (legendary edition).

I'm currently addicted to Chained Echoes, a 2D SNES style rpg adventure.
