I have a large library of steam games, but yet always come back to Garry mod and ravensfield. I keep coming back for the modded content and every other game is excellent, don't get me wrong. But a lot of big games like RD2 and watchdogs 2 just seem like such a long time investment. What 2 games do you infinitely come back to?

ten years of updates and still going stronger than ever and it’s free - always new content every quarter

Stardew Valley (maybe not that if I can just use the Android version), Hyperbolica, Portal 2?

[–] Zok@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I only need one and is called "Space War" 🧐

[–] mariusafa@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 year ago

Hahahahhahahha

Battletoads and Frog wars.

[–] registeredusername@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Skyrim and outcast (the old version by appeal studios)

[–] LunchEnjoyer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

DayZ and minesweeper. DayZ has probably the best replayability over any other game I've played. On top of that it's also the game that gives me adrenaline rush like no other game has. DayZ is highly underrated and I highly recommend it in 2024 as it just keeps on giving.

Civ 6 and I'll sell my other slot to the highest bidder.

Some hard choices. I generally like my RTS and FPS games. I play a wide range of games from story driven like the BG series, to yearly play throughs of 93's Doom, to mil sims like arma.

I have a hard time to stick to one game for a long time, so whatever I pick would need to be moddable to bring some variety. I'm imagining maybe a stalker game where there's a wealth of mods, but the world isn't that large. Arma 3 might be nice, you got decent multi-player bots for when the world has moved on, it's very moddable and relatively easy to set up new scenarios for yourself.

I do like my sim racing as well, so asetto corsa would definitely be the main contender there.

If I'd have to pick some games off the top of my head they'd be AoE 2, HL 2, Doom 2, asetto corsa, Ms flight sim (but the servers will die at some point), Arma.

So I'm picturing myself in 40 years time, I've finished building my new rocking chair with the skills I've got from all this free time, I sit down in front of the same computer I have now. I'd say I'm launching up doom to do another play through of Sunlust. Hm or maybe I'll do a bit more work on my at that point 10 year old OpenTTD save. Just something simple that will stand the test (and already has) of time, a game I can fire up and feel just as home in now, as I did last year, and the year before that.

Slay the Spire. I probably don't need a second.

[–] pixelscript@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Factorio now, and I'll save my second one for Factorio Space Age when it releases.

[–] otacon239@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

Beam.NG would be one just because it covers nearly every driving discipline and the other would probably be Cyberpunk. It’s not even that Cyberpunk is my favorite, but it has so much content in it at this point that it would keep me busy for years.

[–] amstafff@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Path of Exile 1 and 2. Not much would change

[–] Rinna@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Stellaris and Rimworld. Replace Rimworld with Minecraft if including non-Steam games.

[–] jwelch55@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Factorio and Baldurs Gate 3...

Feels bad leaving off other amazing games though

[–] NimbleSloth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Path of Exile and Rocket League

[–] ChrissieWF@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

So, we're just talking Steam - that means I can keep playing Fortnite either way. And my GOG library I suppose :>

From Steam I'd pick:

  • Beat Saber, it's my sport
  • Stellaris, so I can keep playing it with my SO
[–] kethali@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Assetto Corsa (assuming mods are included) and Factorio (again, with mods, but to a lesser degree).

[–] cordlesslamp@lemmy.today 2 points 1 year ago

Dirt Rally 2.0 (with my sim rig and VR headset).

I don't need a 2nd game.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Planescape torment and HoMM III (yes I will take the bundle, thank you)

[–] letsgo@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Dwarf Fortress and Factorio.

[–] donio@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

If I am honest and base it on my actual play patterns it has to be The Binding of Isaac and Slay the Spire. Or maybe Ascension (digital version of the physical deckbuilder) especially if there is ever more content for it.

[–] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 2 points 1 year ago

Dota 2 and Factorio (with mods enabled)

[–] Mirodir@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

If we get access too all future updates, Dwarf Fortress is my clear #1 choice.
If we also assume that the game will forever have an active enough userbase that lack of players won't be a detriment: Infinity Wars as my #2.

If we assume no updates, no mods and no guarantee of users: Tales of Maj'Eyal and probably some 4x or grand strategy game, it's a tossup between Civ, Gal Civ, and Endless Legend, maybe even one of the Total Wars.

What if no other people pick Apex as one of their two games? Lonely servers.

[–] Thunderdonk4444@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

CS2 & super auto pets

[–] krafty@piefed.social 1 points 1 year ago

Satisfactory and Titan Quest

[–] KarthNemesis@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Rain World!!!!!
Second place is hard to do though! Oxygen Not Included, I guess?

Path of Exile for sure, not sure about the second though. Maybe Dark Souls 2, Elden Ring, or maybe XCom 2.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Dota and Baldur's Gate 3.

I've been playing Dota since it was a Warcraft 3 map...

And Baldur's Gate 3, I don't know if I've ever done a second playthrough of any RPG I've ever owned before. Most of them I usually get bored and quit before the end because it's like... I get it... But Boulder Gate 3 I've beaten three times so far currently working on a fourth run which is an honor run. And I've been making a list of mods that I want to try to make.
