What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It’s kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can’t help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don’t get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

I’ve read the whole thread and nobody has said Spintires/Mudrunner/Snowrunner … it’s basically the same game, it just keeps evolving and it’s impossible to really complete because by the time you do there’s more levels released.

For me, driving big trucks through mud is repeatedly appealing.

I’m kinda the same way with American Truck Simulator. Its a great background game so I play it once every two weeks at least

Mmm, whereas to me the on-road truck simulators feel like drudgery, lol

Rimworld. It’s not a game for me at this point, it’s a drug that I have to take from time to time, and it takes all of your free time like a good drug would.
There are others with that effect for me, like modded Minecraft, or Factorio, or Satisfactory, or Hitman, or Skyrim, but nothing is that severe.

Stardew valley. I stopped playing it earlier this year but picked it back up this week. I forgot I made a new game that went with joja instead of the community center and I feel disgusting playing it but I need to see how it shakes out lol

I love me some Stardew. Have you tried out Dave the Diver? It’s got a similar quirky feel to it.

  • Minecraft
  • Astroneer
  • Skyrim
  • Ratchet & Clank 2,3, or ToD

I can’t really describe what it is about R&C that I am just enamored by. I’ve played them on and off since the first game when I was 7+.

Couldn’t agree more on Ratchet & Clank. It’s just so much fun. Progression and upgrades are good, reasonable wit/comedy without being too on the nose or campy. Always has different and interesting guns to smash enemies.

Do you recommend Astroneer as a multiplayer game? I’ve been wanting to play it with a friend

I haven’t played multiplayer in years so I’m not sure how it is but as far as I can tell it should be fine. If you haven’t ever played, there are some really frustrating bugs that will most likely never get fixed (things like items and vehicles falling through the terrain) but overall it is pretty fun and relaxing
