for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.

My top 3 choices are (in no particular order)

  • Disco Elysium
  • Outer Wilds
  • Fallout New Vegas

I know these are very bland choices, but these games had a huge impact on me. I've only played disco Elysium recently, but it truly is a masterpiece. FNV gives me warm memories of [the good parts, at least.] of my childhood, and outer wilds... I don't even really know how to describe it.

This isn't an exhaustive list by any means, and there are some other games that affected me on the same level, but I could only pick 3 :)

    I adored Disco Elysium while playing it, but the ending felt kinda rushed/soured for me so it didn't quite hit top 3. However, the book Sacred And Terrible Air by Robert Kurvitz that was fan translated to English semi recently helped a great deal with unanswered questions about the world the game takes place in that I had which really helped brighten my overall opinion of the game in retrospect.

    The book isn't very approachable I think with almost zero exposition, so it actually helps to have played the game first.
