I'm replaying the remastered trilogy for the first time since I was a teenager. The level design is outstanding. Very clever re-use of the same areas, just at different heights.

It's inspiration from side-scroller prince of persia (also played this obsessively as a young child) is palpable. The movement system is revolutionary.

And the enemy progression is hilarious. First you fight some bats, then you fight some wolves, then you fight motherfucking Velociraptors, then a goddamned T-Rex. And thats not even close to the weirdest enemy you'll fight. Boss battles are evenly spaced until they aren't. when you have two boss battles immediately one after the other.

And then eventiually, you get to the pulsating flesh caves...

Yeah. Tomb Raider is wayup there.

I remember being relieved when I survived the encounter with the bear, knowing that it was definitely going to be the scariest creature I would encounter. Lol.

Recently, I would say Roadwarden, was such a great game with such a unique feel to it.

I was always a discworld mud player... Lots of time there. But I bounced around many :⁠-⁠P

My personal favorite will probably always remain the Mass effect trilogy.

Witcher 3 and not so distant second Red Dead Redemption 2.

Factorio.

Dwarf fortress but I haven't played that in a long time. It will outlast most other games however.
