I’d recommend Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition. Go check it out if you haven’t yet.

If you have, why don’t you have a pork bun in your hand?

    Super Mario World.

    Good variety in enemies and levels, hidden secrets, an evolving world as you progress, simple controls that are easy to understand, but also require a degree of skill to master. It’s also a game that’s enjoyable for ages 3-100, in my eyes it’s one of the most ‘perfect’ games.

    Fallout: New Vegas. You don’t need to have played any of the other ones. Obsidian did an amazing job missing some of the stumbling blocks Bethesda usually hits. Its a game you can tear through in a few hours, or spend years getting lost in.

    The hardest part is letting go.

    Dragon Age: Origins. BioWare has the talent to fill your heart with lovely characters and their stories until it overflows with joy and care, only to stab a knife into it to make you bleed. Beautifully painful. :)

    Yeah, definitely depends on who I’m recommending to. If it’s someone who’s pretty familiar with games, I think it would be Elden Ring. Love the sense of exploration and discovery in that game.

    This is a niche game and I’ll look like an old fart, but Shining Force (1, 2 , 3, Gaiden) is (are) my all time favorite game(s).

      Yeah, it’s also my favorite game of all time. But I’m conflicted about recommending it to a lot of people…

    That’s a surprisingly difficult question. Everyone has different interests, so it’s hard to make a catch-all recommendation.

    With that being said, I’ll go with Chrono Trigger. It’s a true classic with interesting characters, a solid enough story (that doesn’t outstay its welcome), easily approachable gameplay, and an amazing soundtrack. It easily ranks among my favorite games of all time.

    The Mass Effect Trilogy. If that counts as 3 games, then Mass Effect 3. I just love Multiplayer.
