Related to a post I made last year, but a little different because (1) you get to choose 10 now instead of 5, and (2) other games don’t get deleted, you just aren’t able to play them, so you don’t need to think about the good of humanity or anything, purely just selfish picks because it only impacts you.

A couple notes:

  • Any equipment necessary to play the games, you’re obviously allowed to have
  • You can play any DLC for the games you choose
  • You’re not allowed to make any games for you to play. If you make video games, either as a career or hobby, only other people are allowed to play them
  • Mods are allowed, but you’re not allowed to make any for you to play. You can try to commission someone else to make them for you, though
  • If there was historically a trilogy, for example, that now is sold on a major storefront (Steam, Xbox, PlayStation) as a single game (such as Mass Effect or Hitman) that counts as one game now. Game bundles, though, do not count. Basically, if it’s in one entry in your steam/xbox/ps library, it’s one game

I’m interested to see what this community chooses, and hopefully it’s different enough from my old post to warrant some good discussion here.

    Nightreign - hundreds of hours in and I can’t get enough. The gameplay loop is so satisfying. I think they made this game just for me.

    Noita - infinite wand tinkering

    Bloodborne - greatest game ever, and I will die on this hill

    Elden Ring - obvious masterpiece and widely replayable

    Hades - perfection of the genre, great storytelling, masterful voice acting

    Crusader Kings 2 - always lose a hundred hours to this when I dip my toe back in

    Half Life Alyx - another perfecting of the genre

    Morrowind - dated but truly the best of the series

    Mario Kart - loved each iteration and I’d need something a little more lighthearted in my ten games

    Terraria - another one I end up spending dozens of hours in when I start it back up. i always loved crafting and building in this more than similar 3d games.
