Let's talk about games!✨
Jan 20, 2026 15:14My favorite game of all time is Disco Elysium. I played it when I was in a pretty tough mental state, and afterward, I got up and moved forward. It's a very cathartic experience in a way. Going through darkness and depression to find hope and light.
My second favorite game is Expedition 33. It's funny, but the emotional experience was pretty similar to Disco Elysium. Maybe I just use games as psychotherapy.
While Disco is a "stylized" beautiful game, Expedition 33 is INCREDIBLY beautiful, possibly the most beautiful game I've ever played
Besides, we had kinda... a match of "life experiences", because the expedition's plot, quite amusingly, in places exactly mirrored my family history and my artistic journey. There was something about it... surreal, close to me and understandable on a human level.
My next favorite game is, I'd say, the game of my life. I learned to play StarCraft when I was 6 or something like that because my brother played it when he came over for the weekend.
It was difficult, and before that, I'd only played games with wasd+jump buttons about cartoon dogs, which never really interested me. I loved the storyline, it was mature and engaging and I enjoyed it much more than the jumping dogs.
Ofc, I didn't understand a lot of things, the game consisted half of political dialogues and battles, but there was something in it that made me come back to it.
The very first mission I remember was where they drop a nuclear bomb on you almost at the beginning of the game. Well done, 6 yo me.
Then StarCraft 2 came out, and I was absolutely thrilled with it. A strong, intelligent female protagonist whose arc doesn't revolve around pandering to men, but instead goes against the grain of the man she loves for a greater purpose.
She's been my role model for years, I have a TON of Sarah Kerrigan figurines and I'm going to get a tattoo of her.
Somewhere around the time of Deus Ex's popularity, I became interested in future settings, robots, augmentations, and artificial intelligence. Oh, if only I'd known.
Still, Deus Ex is an amazing game, "I never asked for this" and all that.
The Last of Us, a game that has earned a hundred thousand awards and its own series, everyone already knows why it’s good, I don’t see the point in repeating myself, but I truly love it.
Neverwinter Nights was the first game of this type I played. My brother gave me a disc with all the parts, and I really enjoyed the dark atmosphere and looting corpses.🗡️
VTM is another legendary game that was unplayable until it was fixed by some skilled players themselves, but it nevertheless brought me into the world of role-playing😆
It's been many, many years since I played Neverwinter, and I haven't really played games like BG, but all my friends were playing it, so I decided to give it a go and haven't regretted it.
I'm a very ALTERNATIVE player, I don't really know what to do, where to go, or how to avoid getting fireballed, so I'm amazed I even made it through.
(after which I went through it another 5 or 6 times, each time discovering more and more)
DOTA 2. Didn't expect it? I didn't either.
I've been playing it for 12+ years, and I think everyone who plays it really needs a therapist.
not sure therapist will help atp
I'm the kind of person who likes two side characters that appear on screen for 2 minutes, I really love Gavin Reed and RK900.
These days the game is often subject to strange interpretations, passing off wishful thinking as reality, but it's better to have discussions than not to have them.
Forsaken World was my favorite MMORPG in the world; I played it for 10 years until it closed. It was a prequel, sidequel, or something like that, to the more popular MMORPG Perfect World, which I think is still alive.
