Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Oh, cheeky 4th one: Magicraft (best bite-sized PoE/arpg ever)
Planetside 2 used to be my no.1 game, but I haven't played in a couple years and do not believe I'll ever return.
My top 3 are based on "for their time".
Morrowind
Portal
Halo 2
It's hard as there's a lot of different games that I like for different reasons, but if I had to narrow it down it'd probably be:
MGS3
Rocket League
Resident Evil 4
Skate 3 Gta 4 Re4
Cyberpunk 2077, just by hours played and number of replays.
The Horizon games. I just adore the world and Aloy.
Great Gianna Sisters for hours played and the music.
I also loved the Portal games, they might be a contender for third place.
Today:
Half-Life 2, Max Payne 2 and Mass Effect because I‘ve been an impressionable teenager and a nitpicking adult.
Nier:Automata gets an honorable mention.
Xenogears is an amazing story. I never got into the other games in the series. Do you know if they are worth it?
XenoSaga is worth it, though it suffers the same fate as Xenogears being rushed at the end. Xenoblade is definitely worth it. None of them cross over but they have the same themes and motifs, plus a little fan service for series old heads.
Dungeon Keeper.
BOTW.
Emperor: Rise of the middle kingdom
Going by time played it's probably something like:
Dota 2
Starcraft: Brood War
Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy XI
Shovel Knight
Hades
Beat Off The Wiener was a game I enjoyed as a youth as well.
Of all time is a hard one. I guess I'll go by most play hours. So in no particular order, WoW, Stellaris, and Warframe.
Impossible to rank, so I'll pull from at random from a top 25 I did not long ago:
Call me Nostradamus 'cause it's Silksong.
