This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It's not a trilogy, but I gotta preach the good word of Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights. If you enjoy 2D metroidvania style games it's top notch.
The game just drips in atmosphere. The environments are beautifully drawn and designed, characters and enemies are animated well and the music just wraps everything up in a nice bow. It's a melancholy game and it literally made me cry at points and I'm not the type to tear up often when playing games.
The game can be challenging at times, but I wouldn't say significantly so. I would say Hollow Knight is more challenging than this game especially with some of the end game content that that game has.
The game is worth full price, but it goes on sale pretty regularly and probably is right now with the summer sale on Steam.
There's also a sequel out now called Ender Magnolia. I haven't played it yet but I will eventually.
Undertale and Deltarune.
Dwarf Fortress.
Ultima 1-7 and 8 partially.
FALLOUT NEW VEGAS! (Side note) Oh boy, a new list of games to play as I scroll through these comments.

Ocarina of Time. I'm biased because of nostalgia, but I genuinely think it's the best game ever created. It took everything that was great about the SNES classic A Link To the Past, brought it into 3D as an early N64 game, and improved literally everything. The atmosphere, the gameplay, the story, the time mechanic, the music... It's not perfect, in fact these days it's trivial to break many things in it with glitches, but I think it's absolutely the best.
Hades
Every Supergiant game TBH
Half life and half life 2
Prumbably the Morrowind game
omg yes i love skyrim games
Me too they are like mindcraft so exciting
Minecraft
Minecraft before the Microsoft acquisition.
Microsoft has continued improving the Java Minecraft. I can't see a reason to complain.
I don't really know Minecraft before the acquisition. Is it really that much different?
Secret Friday updates used to drop with new features that weren't documented and just got to explore and find them.
I remember updating singleplayer to find cacti added and placing a bunch under a railway tunnel to stop mobs. (They updated the physics to break them when adjacent to another block patch or two later)

Baldurs Gate 3.
The first half of the description, combined with the unmentioned ambition of LotR, made me think of Star Citizen. But we'll have to wait another 5-10 years to find out if they manage to deliver on that ambition, and stand the test of time.
I waited years for star citizen until Ibrealized you can pick up Elite Dangerous for like $15 on sale and its basically what star citizen is trying to be

Factorio
Without a doubt the Witcher games, and Baldur's Gate 3. Probably Dragon Age too, but I haven't played those.
Just a side note I wouldn't necessarily put Witcher 1 on the same pedestal as witcher 2 and 3. You could enjoy it, thematically and story wise it's spot on Witcher, but it's pretty klunky mechanically speaking and really shows its age. 2 and 3 are Fantastic in every way though. I hear they're potentially remaking 1 and I'm all for it if it's in a style similar to 2 or 3.

I like your taste. These are some bangers lol.
If you haven't, you should play Armored Core 6. It's a FROM game, and it feels like one, in all the best ways.
But it's also a mech game, and it feels like one, in all the best ways! Every button assaults your enemy, every motion feels fluid, fast, effortless - or huge, heavy, clunky - your mech is your mech, and many thoughtful builds can become OP. The customization is bananas. And yet - some fights will remain challenging.
With all sincerity, easy 10/10 game for me, I proceeded from NG -> NG+ -> NG++ directly, which is a first for me and I'm an oldish dude. AND I felt thoroughly rewarded by the end of NG++. It's a literal perfect game, just unreasonably fun and well-crafted.
I’m going to have to try that game. I played a bunch of the original but I think nothing in between.
Half Life?

A lot of good suggestions but my first thought was Final Fantasy X.
Age of Empires 2, despite being Microsoft owned, is easily one of the best strategy games of all time and has very clearly stood the test of time. It's over 25 years old and people kept playing it a lot even before the HD remakes. I remember reading that the folks that made the 1st game often had to choose between "actual history or hollywood history" for some details, often going for hollywood because it made for a more fun experience.
I suspect Factorio might stand the test of time as well, and it's clearly something made by someone who really understands the medium. I haven't begun my factory yet.
Factorio is crack, the space age expansion also is great.

As far as labors of love go, Stardew Valley is probably the most current example. People paid for this thing years ago, but Concerned Ape keeps adding new features anyway. The retro graphics give this thing a timeless quality out of the box, so it already looks "dated" - this hasn't stopped the robust player community around it. We'll probably see this game stay relevant for a long time.

A genuinely heart warming story that deals with strong themes of love and friendship in a way that made a genuine impact?
