Do you have that “One Game” that you seems to come back to every year like a clockwork? Replaying it either just for the sake of it, nostalgia, or even finishing it again?
I got a few. Skyrim is one of them but it’s most likely just to have fun with installing mods and then play it only for an hour xD But I got one that I always replay and finish once a year, which is Mass Effect Trilogy, and recently the Remastered version of it.
How about you?
The Mass Effect trilogy. It’s my comfort game.
Heyyyy my fellow Mass Effect player!
I’m on my 24th playthrough of the first game. I don’t always go through the whole series because the first one is my favorite game of all time but I play it at LEAST once a year.
Deus Ex, for damn sure.
Which one? The OG?
There’s only one Deus Ex.
I periodically return to TES III: Morrowind or Gothic 1 & 2.
Any Fallout game but mostly New Vegas, I kind of gave up gaming when the 360 reached end of life then when the Switch released I had to have one. Zelda and the Witcher 3 and Skyrim were great on it but the lack of decent games left it languishing in a drawer.
I bought a Steam Deck last year and it completely blows the switch out of the water. I absolutely love it. I don’t have the time to get set up in front of a TV and play a console but the deck is top class. Pick it up and put it down. Considering I mostly play 5 years or older RPGs it is the ultimate machine for me. I’ve even been playing EA golf games via emulation that run great. I even got Dopewars running on it.
But yeah New Vegas all the way, I’m currently playing Fallout 4 mind u.
You ever played New Vegas modded with A Tale of Two Wastelands? Or New California?
Skyrim but I feel like that’s a free pass for most people. Besides that, Bioshock always seems to re-appear on my desktop and get a playthrough.
I’m not sure multiplayer games count here, I always go back to this party game called “Ultimate Chicken Horse”. It’s quite simplistic, but I got TONS of hours out of it so far.
It’s a rotation: Deus Ex, System Shock, E.Y.E, System Shock 2.
Hoping to add Peripeteia to the list this year.
Wazhack. Still haven’t beaten it. It’s a traditional roguelike (cf. nethack) presented in the unusual format of a 3D sidescroller. The dev is prolific about updating it year over year. Trust me on this one, game is a mix of hilarious and infuriating
Huh. Thanks – I enjoyed it, but wasn’t aware that it was still being updated. May have to take another look and see what’s new.
I’ve been playing Civilization IV & Nevewrwinter Nights fairly steadily since they came out.
Perfect Dark
Still the best couch multiplayer shooterI replay Knights of the Old Republic 1&2 every so often. They’re just so cozy to get wrapped up in.
I replay all the fromsoft rpgs on their corresponding anniversaries.
Old School RuneScape! An addiction is hard to break…
Ocarina of Time. Sometimes emulated, some times OG N64 and sometimes on the 3DS. Fav game of all time

Classic Doom/Doom 2, as there’s an endless number of wads and mods for it, I would say I play it even more than just once a year, its probably more like a few times a month
