So here is a generic question, I feel like I’ve been sharing too many news articles. My favorite so far is Final Doom - The Plutonia Experiment however it seems like Celeste can take it’s place. How about you? Bonus question: What is your favorite genre? I love First Person Shooters most myself.

    Probably the first Portal. It’s one of the first games I had on PC that I didn’t pirate (technically the first, but I bought like 5 of them at once, so…), and it’s also the one that got me into the idea of recording and editing gameplay, which basically got me started into the path of the job I have today, even if it’s not directly related by it.

    And it still holds up, that’s what’s the most amazing part of it. There’s been alrady 8 years since I played it and it’s still a simple, amazing game. Where the sequel went for a more flashy and film-esque approach to its story, this first game gets the mood way more, in my opinion.

      the portal games are absolute gems! I still haven finished portal 1 (finding it a bit tougher to beat that portal 2) I really hope valve make a portal 3 some day, the games have such a great atmosphere.

    I may have spent thousands of hours in Civilization V, Rimworld, Europa Universalis IV and Pokémon games, but if I had to choose…

    • Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – One of the first big RPGs I played. It was the 3DS version and I loved every second of it.
    • Animal Crossing: Wild World – Even though the graphics were shitty on the DS, I adore the cozy feel of the game. Everything is so smol and tightly packed together, and visiting friends in this tiny world was the shit back in the day.
    • Minecraft – Maybe it’s the early nostalgia in me, but I feel like I’ll never really grow out of this game. Caving and building are just so fun, and I could always return to a new save and start exploring some of that b1.7.3.

    I unironically think Euro Truck Simulator 2 is one of the best games ever made. I don’t drive or have interest in car / trucks. But it’s a great game to play while listening to a podcast or some YouTube video. It’s really atmospheric and relaxing, zero stress.

    Aside from that, Rimworld, Stellaris, Counter Stringe GO, Fistful of Frags.

      ETS2 is such a chill game. It helped me relieve stress as a student. I wish I could give it a go in VR with my Logitech G29. Sadly, VR is expensive :-(

      A fellow PC gamer I see :) +1 for Quake, such an amazing game. Most people say it’s just Doom in 3D, I didn’t really feel that way. The way guns handle, monsters, level design and most importantly the atmosphere feels very different.

      My introduction to the Souls-like genre was Hollow Kight, it didn’t make a good first impression to say the least :(

      I love Celeste too, but it is certainly quite a tough game, I couldn’t finish it and I took a break that was too long and now I’m gonna have to start over because all the muscle memory is gone :(
