Subnautica Reddit quote, u/WhoAmEi_
2
Honestly, Minecraft. I don't play much anymore but I got years of entertainment out of that game. The sheer amount of things you can do is incredible. It truly is a game of endless possibilities. Reddit quote, u/Alex_eats_donuts
3
Yakuza 0. Only $13 on Amazon and worth four times that. Reddit quote, u/BarracudaImpossible4
4
Morrowind. I've played the elder scrolls since Morrowind came out (including Oblivion and Skyrim), and Morrowind still enchants me to this day. Reddit quote, u/Jaegerin89
5
Outer Wilds One of the greatest gaming experiences of my life. I still get goosebumps when I hear that certain song. Reddit quote, u/prodical
6
The Binding of Isaac if it's your type of game. No run the same and so much stuff to unlock. 350+ hours played and still have like half the unlock to do. Reddit quote, u/No-Fox-2870
7
Tabletop Simulator - basically every board-game ever digitally so you can play it with your friends across the globe. Reddit quote, u/Odd_Thanks5270

I seem to go back and forth between Skyrim and Rimworld. For years. Reddit quote, u/AtheneSchmidt

Hades, Just bought my 2nd copy for the Switch. Reddit quote, u/Vanguard050505
10
Terraria. $10, 850 hours. Still not bored of it. Reddit quote, u/SecretPotatoChip
11
Stardew Valley Concerned Ape deserves a ton of respect for making one of the best games of the 2010s almost completely on his own and giving us free updates that would be a $15 DLC from a Triple-A studio. I'm so excited for his next game whenever it comes out. Reddit quote, u/abe_the_babe_
12
Dungeons And Dragons. Brings a whole new meaning to "every penny" Reddit quote, u/Archduke_of_Nessus
13
Portal 2 How does a puzzle game make me feel so much. Like deep feelings. Reddit quote, u/Intelligent_Radish15
14
Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I've never played any Mass effect game before buying this one, I didn't even really know much about the story beyond it's a space rpg and I'm absolutely blown away at how good it is. For anyone with EA Play / Xbox Ultimate the game is currently playable for free :) Reddit quote, u/Miserable_Squirrel16
15
I bought Hollow Knight twice, once on Switch and once on PC. I still feel like I’ve underpaid Team Cherry Reddit quote, u/joetotheg
16
Little Big Planet before the online part got hosed. Reddit quote, u/ThePenguin1898
17
SLIME RANCHER!!! Man, the game is simple at face value but has an insane and in-depth lore and plotline, all things considered, the characters are very well built and go through literal storylines, and it’s a cute comforting game if you ever need an escape :) Reddit quote, Deleted user
18
The Orange Box. Came with Half-Life 2, Portal, and Team Fortress 2. All solid games and all for what was a relatively low price. Reddit quote, u/West-Management-2263
19
Kerbal Space Program I got it for practically nothing when it was early access, and I'm afraid to look at how many hours I've sunk into it since then. Reddit quote, u/MainSteamStopValve
20
Left 4 Dead Or better L4D2 Sometimes 2.99 and has so many community maps. Like hundreds, so you can play so much content for basically free. You can work together or you can run off and shut doors in people's faces. It truly is a gem. Reddit quote, u/diecakethrower
21
Plants vs Zombies the original. Reddit quote, u/readzalot1
22
If you have friends, Deep Rock Galactic. If you don't have friends, Deep Rock Galactic, but learn the etiquette. Reddit quote, Deleted user
23
Factorio. Bought the game for 20 bucks like 10 years ago off their website and it's gotten constant updates to this day. Reddit quote, u/spytez
24
Worms Armageddon Reddit quote, u/ThePenguin1898
25
The Witcher 3 DLCs are worth as much as most Standalone games. Like I’m fairly sure Blood and Wine could have been the Witcher 4 if they wanted it to be Reddit quote, u/T_Lawliet
