    Ultima and Wing Commander, I know I’m showing my age but I guess it’s the nostalgia. I still go back and play through them.

    I haven’t see Horizon Zero Dawn in the comments so far. This is probably the best (by graphics, game play, characters, story lines) game I’ve ever played. I really hope that Horizon Forbidden West is released for PC soon.

      Horizon is a great game, it’s probably one of my favourite game series of all time at this point. Zero Dawn hit all the storytelling tropes that I typically enjoy in games, and had amazing dynamic combat too. It reminded a bit of monster hunter with the preparation you went into big fights with, but also there was a degree of improvisation when stuff didn’t go according to plan.

      As someone who didn’t think Zero Dawn needed a sequel at all, I actually really enjoyed Forbidden West. I think you’ll be in for a good time when you get a chance to play it.

      I have launched this game several times and always end up wandering around aimlessly before getting killed in the wilderness. Is it possible to get into without following a wiki?

        I didn’t use the wiki until 50+ hours in. You need to make your own goals. I started by making a thief and just stealing my way to the top.

        You can fairly easily make money and skill up by just running around carrying and selling shit. Specialize your first characters, make the next companions workers.

        It’s very much a sandbox where you make your own story.

    Neverwinter Nights, I enjoy playing some of the campaigns and modules every so often, trying out different builds.

    Warcraft 3, just for the original campaigns and also the stupid amount of custom campaigns made by the community.

    Heroes of might and magic 3. What a gem! With the HD mod and Horn of the Abyss fanmade expansion (with a new town YARRR!), it’s never dull.

    I can’t wait for the next update of HotA with a second town.

      Such a good game. I played it so much in hotseat with my brothers when we where kids. Still playing it, when my brother visits, on the big TV. Last time we got us 1kg of Mett and some Roles, and played it the whole day. 😅

      Ha good times.

      For a long time it was Heroes of Might and Magic 4 for me – I know it’s the “black sheep” of the series, but I really like that heroes are actual parts of your party (I also played a lot while growing up, so nostalgia plays a role and that’s what I got used to)

    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater games 1 through 4.

    A bit more than once a decade I play them on emulator and try to 100% them. Great fun. I also try to make sure to visit the locations in the real world if I’m on holiday nearby where they based a level.

    It’s kind of sad that the Venice Beach area hasn’t existed since the 90s.

    Edit: I did just realise this thread is about PC games, but I do play them on PC albeit through a PlayStation emulator. I do believe the games are available on PC.

    Total War Warhammer games. I keep starting new campaigns to play all the races and subfactions.
