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?

    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.

      Been wasting too much time on this lately. Bought DiabloIV for 70€ only to play it for a week or so and spend all my free time on stardew valley with my gf…

    Halo: Combat Evolved

    I still find the odd person that never played it here and there, and yet everyone that tries it after says “Oh my god, how did I never play this game before?” and goes on to play the rest

    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.

    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.

  • 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.

    Snowrunner as I’ve clocked up my most hours on it. But mainly because it’s a relaxing game where you can enjoy great scenery as well as admiring the amazing vehicle physics as they interact with the different terreins.

    Outer Wilds. Yeah, you’ve probably all played it, but if you haven’t, please do and let the rest of us watch. It is very special.
