Breath of the wild.
Played it on a friends new Switch and bought a Switch and that game three days later. I was so immersed in this weird and wonderful world…
Boulderdash II on C64.
Minecraft, circa 2015. It was a religion.
Portal (1&2)
Dwarf Fortress.
They’re even making sequels to “the carp stands up” now. They added exercise to the game, and now carps get fucking ripped as fuck just swimming upstream, so when they start walking on land they’re there to just destroy you and everything you hold dear.
There are a lot of ways to measure that.
I guess one reasonable metric is how long I probably played it. Close Combat II: A Bridge Too Far and an old computer pinball game, Loony Labyrinth probably rank pretty highly.
Another might be how long after its development it’s still considered reasonably playable. I’d guess that maybe something like Tetris or Pac-Man might rate well there.
Another might be how influential the game is. I think that “genre-defining” games like Wolfenstein 3D would probably win there.
Another might be how impressed I was with a game at the time of release. Games that made major technical or gameplay leaps would rank well there. Maybe Wolfenstein 3D or Myst.
Another might be what the games I play today are – at least once having played them sufficiently to become familiar with them – since presumably I could play pretty much any game out there, and so my choice, if made rationally, should identify the best options for me that I’m aware of. That won’t work for every sort of genre, as it requires replayability – an adventure game where experiencing the story one time through is kind of the point would fall down here – but I think that it’s a decent test of the library of games out there. Recently I’ve played Steel Division II singleplayer, Carrier Command 2 singleplayer, Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead, and Shattered Pixel Dungeon. RimWorld and Oxygen Not Included tend to be in the recurring cycle.
Asking for the “greatest” sounds quite pretentious
It’s probably why people are downvoting this thread
Baldur’s Gate 3. Hands down. Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably number 2. That said, I have more hours in World of Warcraft than every other game combined. It was an entire lifestyle for a few years back in the day. But WoW was good because of the people, not because of the gameplay.

Nothing left to see here folks. Question answered correctly. Let’s all move along.
Baldurs Gate 1. D&D Lv. 1-7 campaigns are the best
The Last of Us series
I’ve only seen the show. Is the game as good as the show?
The game was better than the show, which the show was actually based from. I liked the show too, but definitely give the game a go if you get a chance.
The second game was a very difficult storyline to play through, however. I’m glad I did, but temper your expectations and expect to suffer a lot. Lol
I have only play Last of Us 1 during PS3 era. I was a 20 year old kid back then I guess. I cried and sobbed through the game. I remember it having such a huge emotional impact on me. May be I was too emotionally disturbed at that time, who knows.
Your mileage may vary, but i thoroughly enjoyed the game. Didn’t enjoy the show as much.
Last of us part 2 is a great story as well. It gets a lot of hate online, but a LOT of that hate is cuz the game not only has lesbian characters, but it also has a trans character, and a woman with muscles character. And that’s just way too much woke apparently.

Shame about nearly everything else Sega has done to the franchise since.
