Steam

path of exile

DayZ and minesweeper. DayZ has probably the best replayability over any other game I've played. On top of that it's also the game that gives me adrenaline rush like no other game has. DayZ is highly underrated and I highly recommend it in 2024 as it just keeps on giving.

Battletoads and Frog wars.

Stardew Valley (maybe not that if I can just use the Android version), Hyperbolica, Portal 2?

Skyrim and outcast (the old version by appeal studios)

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Octopath Traveler 2

Nioh 2 and Satisfactory

Vermintide 2 and Tekken 8.

Both games have high skill ceilings, so I could probably spend years (and have) playing both and still finding ways to improve or optimize gameplay.

Skyrim and Witcher 3. Shoutouts to Baldurs Gate and Witcher 2, but the latter is far too short for me to want it on my "you can only play this" list, it's quirky but there's something special as hell about it for me. I've played it through about 15 times.

Civ 6 and I'll sell my other slot to the highest bidder.

Team Fortress 2 with either Deathmatch Classic or Ricochet....

Beam.NG would be one just because it covers nearly every driving discipline and the other would probably be Cyberpunk. It’s not even that Cyberpunk is my favorite, but it has so much content in it at this point that it would keep me busy for years.

I only need one and is called "Space War" 🧐

Path of Exile 1 and 2. Not much would change

Path of Exile and Rocket League

So, we're just talking Steam - that means I can keep playing Fortnite either way. And my GOG library I suppose :>

From Steam I'd pick:

• Beat Saber, it's my sport
• Stellaris, so I can keep playing it with my SO

If I am honest and base it on my actual play patterns it has to be The Binding of Isaac and Slay the Spire. Or maybe Ascension (digital version of the physical deckbuilder) especially if there is ever more content for it.

Planescape torment and HoMM III (yes I will take the bundle, thank you)

Factorio and Baldurs Gate 3...

Feels bad leaving off other amazing games though

Assetto Corsa (assuming mods are included) and Factorio (again, with mods, but to a lesser degree).

Dota 2 and Factorio (with mods enabled)

Dirt Rally 2.0 (with my sim rig and VR headset).

I don't need a 2nd game.

If we get access too all future updates, Dwarf Fortress is my clear #1 choice.
If we also assume that the game will forever have an active enough userbase that lack of players won't be a detriment: Infinity Wars as my #2.

If we assume no updates, no mods and no guarantee of users: Tales of Maj'Eyal and probably some 4x or grand strategy game, it's a tossup between Civ, Gal Civ, and Endless Legend, maybe even one of the Total Wars.

Stellaris and Rimworld. Replace Rimworld with Minecraft if including non-Steam games.

Dwarf Fortress and Factorio.

Minecraft and retroarch.

Satisfactory and Titan Quest

Arma 3 and GTA VI

Just woke up. I thought this was a picture of valheim with a deathsquito on the background. Which is interesting because I was probably going to have to pick Valheim and Sims 4. If I can only playb2 games forever I need sometimes that doesn't necessarily have a main quest then it's done and both of those fit that.

Path of Exile for sure, not sure about the second though. Maybe Dark Souls 2, Elden Ring, or maybe XCom 2.

Rain World!!!!!
Second place is hard to do though! Oxygen Not Included, I guess?

Apex and Rimworld
