Inspired by a similar question on reddit:
What games do you replay regularly/annually? (No shame if you skipped a year or two.) I am especially interested in ‘comfort’ games.
Only rule is, you should have played the game for the first time at least 5 years back.
My list:
-
Street Fighter 2 in all variations/on all platforms I have access two. I guess I have been playing it regularly for more than 25 years by now. No Street Fighter after the Alpha/3rd Strike ever captured me like this.
-
Contra / NES This one I play regularly for more than 30 years (at least), to this day my favorite action game and the ultimate benchmark (I played all NES/SNES/Genesis Contras and Operation Galuga, nothing comes close.)
-
Slay the Spire: Hits 5 years of being released, I played since the early access and wasted too much time on this, still fun and perfect on smartphones
-
Doom I/II: I cannot tell you what it is, there are obviously better FPS than Doom I/II, but sometimes, if I just want to blow some steam, Doom is the only thing that delivers. (I think I never played trough all episodes of either Doom I or Doom II
I play StS a bunch, but in that vein, games I just come back to:
-Stardew Valley, and it gets the 1.6 update next week so I guess I will again
-frostpunk, which gets a sequel this year!
-gen 3/4/5 Pokemon
Stardew Valley is in my library of shame, I just never feel that peaceful when I have the urge to play. ;-)
I feel that. It’s got some non-peaceful elements, maybe the 1.6 release is the excuse you need to try it out!
I’ve owned Frostpunk for a while now. I really need to play it.
It’s great, I’d really recommend if you like city builders, dystopian settings, and great music/ambiance
