I was going to say replaying but I feel like that limits the question to games like Prey or Fallout New Vegas that have endings and games like The Sims 2 or Cities Skylines where you can play indefinitely end up excluded.

I'm not really referring to games like League of Legends where you're coming back every month. More so games where you stop playing for an extended period of time.

I don’t play The Sims for months and months, then come back to it and play really intensely for few days.

Skyrim, Fallout, Stardew Valley, and the Animal Crossing Games are my perennial favorites!

Time will tell on this one, but I think Baldur’s Gate 3 will be one I come back to again and again.

I have over 4,000 hours across all the trackmania games. So that, I guess. Most is 2,000 in United followed by a couple hundred in all the rest. 1,000 in trackmania 2020

Green hell and the long dark

[–] CorrodedCranium@leminal.space 2 points 1 year ago

What about green hell brings you back? It's one of those games that has been on my wishlist for a while now

Satisfactory, I'm hoping to get employee of the planet cup before 1.0 comes out.

Angband. I don't stick with it long, but I always come back, even though I've never killed Morgoth or the Balrog in Moria before that. Still, I enjoy it for a while and then move on again.

W40K: Gladius
Civ (latest version)
Distant World: Universe (latest version). In all years I played many DW:U (I and II) games. Finished exactly one.

These are just a few. I cycle through games a lot.

Skate 3 is a fantastic choice.

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s top tier fun. I come back to it routinely and make a bunch of ridiculous skate videos. Never gets old.

Neverwinter Nights (the first one) and Heroes of Might and Magic (3 and 4). They're just so comfortable for me to play so I just start them up when I'm to stressed out to play anything new.

Dragon Age: Origins

[–] hascat@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I started playing through Skyrim again last year, but didn't get very far before I lost interest.

I jump back in to left4dead every year or two. The original is probably my favorite shooter. I haven't found Back4Blood as compelling.

[–] Alice@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

Paper Mario for the N64 and Super Mario World for the SNES. I think it's because I found them both at the perfect point in my childhood where they were the first games in their genres I managed to beat.

I had a blast finding every single exit and bonus stage in SMW, and Paper Mario was the first RPG that didn't make my eyes glaze over (including Super Mario RPG). Plus the characters and aesthetics are still so charming, the whole game gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

Dungeons of the Endless

Castlevania

Neverwinter Nights (Which I've been playing or DMing on for 23 years)

DotE is a tower defense roguelike with pixel graphics and a team of heroes you manage. It also has one of the best soundtracks I've ever heard.

Castlevania needs no description. It's just one of the best games ever made.

Neverwinter Nights has stood the test of time for me because it has persistent game worlds, built by other players (basically mini, homemade MMO's), that you can log in and play. I also use its DM client to run online adventures for other players myself.

I keep coming back to hunter call of the wild,

Its just such a nice looking game with no real skill curve once you know not to go running through the bush hoping to see a dear, it takes patience.

On a hot day, put the ac on a nice cup of coffee and go walking through the bushlands looking at points of interest and maybe shoot me a dear all without sweating like a pig like i do where i live.

That game is the reason im moving south, im so tired of trying tondo anything and dying from the heat.
