• What is "your game"? The game that you've always come back to? Or replay?

Personally, mine's always probably been Terraria. Always come back to it every October to replay with a different character/new mods.
Titanfall 2 always makes me happy when I come back to it. It's so stupid, it's so fun and it's so almost dead ;_;
Metro franchise 700 gameplay hours
All Points Bulletin : Reloaded The memories of the fuckoffhuge Facepunch Clans on both continents being long gone kinda hurt but it do be like that sometimes
SWTOR, Fallout 3, Skyrim, Distant Worlds: Universe, Euro Truck Sim 2.
Factorio. I can never quite break free, there's new features and mods coming all of the time. The original Half-Life is another gem I'll replay every now and then.
mount and blade. i always pick it up once a year, play the shit out of it for a few days and then leave it sitting again for a year.
A toss-up between Fallout New Vegas, a game I will still claim to be one of the best games ever made, and the first two Dead Rising games, which were a huge part of my formative gaming memory, and which I still go and periodically revisit.
Hotline Miami 1 & 2. HM1 is good if I want to go through something really quickly and blow off some steam while also trying to beat my best scores. Hotline Miami 2 for something a bit more challenging or I want to go for a custom map, and also trying to full combo every level. Max Payne trilogy is also something I annually replay, I just love them. Gameplay-wise Max Payne 3 is still one of the most fun and intense third person shooters I've played, despite the annoying amount of cutscenes breaking the gameplay pacing on the first half of the game, the level design, setpieces and overall gunplay remains super satisfying and fun. For something relaxing, I usually take my time off with something like Slime Rancher or Minecraft, recently No Man's Sky is becoming one too. They're longer investments but I usually have an urge to go at Deus Ex and Deus Ex Human Revolution too once in a while. And if I'm feeling lazier, a straight up shooter like Soldier of Fortune 1 & 2. Doom and its many WADs that keep churning out, and the many existing ones that never get old is also something I give myself a good half an hour to play through whenever I get the chance.
Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect. Origins especially. It's one of those games I can sit down and play for hours and hours.
Tiberian Sun
I keep going back to Dying Light because it's one of my favorites freeroamers thanks to the parkour system, and because zombies are so damn satisfying to kill.
Arma Rocket League Kerbal Space Program Supreme Commander Civilization DCS: World
Quake, and STALKER
Modded Minecraft, especially when I can get friends to play the same world. It's just a lot of fun to be creative and design machine/magic workshops with different layouts and styles, and each time it feels like your own. Kind of makes me wish FP had an ongoing modded server (I think we just have the one Vanilla one atm?)
Classic Tomb Raider games. 1-5. People probably know this by now because I write about it all the time I remember being a little kid and getting super hype when my father played them and allowed me to watch. One day he allowed me to kill a bad guy in TR2 and from then on I was hooked. I play all the games in order probably once or twice every year. Once I'm done with 5, I restart at 1 a few months later. I love em. I try to add some random challenges every run, like pistols only and no medipacks or something, keeps the games fresh depite knowing everything there is to know about every single one of them. Other than that: MediEvil Silent Hill 1-3 Metal Gear Solid series
Pikmin 2
New Vegas It's honestly sucked so much of my life away help
I keep replaying Dishonored and Deus Ex series
Half-life 2, especially it's SMOD mod - that mod adds so much ridiculous yet fun content that I would end up playing for hours, messing about with the new weapons and mechanics introduced into the game. I personally prefer the original (40a) over Redux since I like making my own preferences and tinker around with the various configs like say replace slomo bullet time with jojo's bizarre adventure-like time stop or have this gun shoot fireworks etc - this game has so much customization that you can make it your own mod in a way, which adds countless hours of replayability hundredfold. TL;DR: SMOD is a sick mod and I absolutely recommend playing it 👌(oof sorry for the giant wall of text, it's that fun like damn)
Halo CE, Diablo II and ArmA 3 Will probably never stop playing the first two, it's been decades and I haven't gotten tired (I've even got a tattoo for both games)
Does it still work though?
STALKER games.
Final Fantasy 7/Ocarina of Time Super lame
Doom, due to its inexhaustible well of mods to keep you interested forever. The same applies to Duke 3D and Quake.
Team Fortress 2 (surprising, I know), Hotline Miami 2, No More Heroes, MGS3
At first you had to mess around with the gameinfo.txt just so you could get it to even run, however several features were broken (things like holiday events that were coded in LUA and that thing got broken in itself) which sucked (this was around steampipe era i think). However some mad folks at bsnooch.com managed to somehow fix the mod by making it a non steam "game" that emulates the steam overlay (pretty nifty). Mounting game content was "fixed" by dumping all the vpk stuff from hl2 and css into the smod folder (however this is handled through a batch file and you need to have bought and installed these games on steam). TL;DR: here you go SMOD Standalone
APB: Reloaded It's those games you just can't get away from it L4D2 I will keep playing as long as there's community Fallout 2 I have been playing this game at least once every year since the release date. I was big fan of it when I was just a kid who couldn't understand English at all to adult. Fallout New Vegas Seems to be same thing like Fallout 2. Game I keep coming back to it every year. There's of course the classic shooters I keep coming back to Quake, Duke Nukem 3D and Doom I and II.
I'm typically not the person to replay games over and over, I'd rather play one of the hundreds of games that I've had on my radar but haven't had the chance to check out yet. That being said, there are a few exceptions that sort of count. Occasionally I'll play a game from my childhood for a few hours just for the pure nostalgia factor. Then there's the Killing Floor series, it's almost a decade since I've started playing it. I tend to play it in bursts for a few weeks then go away for months or even a year before coming back, but it always feels good to play it again. And it keeps getting updated continually so there's always something fresh to try out. As much as some of the more puzzling changes make it seem like the developers don't properly understand their own game at times, the core gameplay will never stop being fun. And finally the XCOM series (Firaxis ones). I'm pretty much doing a full playthrough every year, the expansions and mods keep me coming back. The main reason why it keeps being fun is probably because I don't really play any other turn based strategy games whereas with other genres it feels like I've already worn myself out on them. That and the gameplay mechanics are super addictive and satisfying, plus it's intense enough to always keep you on the edge of your seat. Most other games feel overly scripted and tightly controlled, but XCOM has a way of constantly creating really memorable once-in-a-lifetime situations out of pure chaos.
I'm always coming back to Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 - 2013, AC2 and Dishonored
