You can only pick 2 games from steam to play for the rest of your life, what games are they? - sh.itjust.works

I have a large library of steam games, but yet always come back to Garry mod and ravensfield. I keep coming back for the modded content and every other game is excellent, don’t get me wrong. But a lot of big games like RD2 and watchdogs 2 just seem like such a long time investment. What 2 games do you infinitely come back to?

Ah, but would you keep Workshop access?

If so, Garry’s Mod is almost cheating. There’s a bit of everything in it.

So that and Warframe. I picked up WF ten years ago and it’s still in my top ten recently played games. Though I have a love/hate relationship with the Metagame it turned into, it still remains.

Farmframe is pretty solid pick. Ever growing amount of content to play and collect, plus the gameplay is fun. For me it’s kind of missing a reason to farm all the stuff though, but I’ve also stuck with it on and off about 9 years now
Show threadPassingThroughFeb 27, 2024

To be honest, I stopped being a “qualified player” a few years ago. Nowadays I load up a nice long Survival round, usually against Infested to chew on, with whatever Frame I’ve forgotten how to play, to enjoy the loop without stress. So I’m not in it to farm all the stuff either. Or, I’ll play the story quest if a new one is out, since they are pretty well scaled for solo play and/or give you what you need.

Other than that I just can’t compete. I tripped some time ago and didn’t keep up with the latest meta builds, so now I struggle to have the things “required” to effectively participate in public sessions or the latest missions. And don’t even get me started on Rivens, Shards, Liches or whatever.

If I join a Zariman round I’ll probably die. Not as much now that I have Titania, but I’m also not clearing rooms in a single volley like everyone else.

I’m a filthy casual and I still find a way to have fun, so there’s something there worth keeping.

That’s an android app, why waste a steam game on that when you can get it out of steam?

I get the point you’re making, but I still wanted to point out that RetroArch is multi platform, not just Android.

The same could be said about any game with any non-Steam availability. I don't think that was OP's intent.

I need a change of scenery once in a while. I’ve been on a slow Dwarf Fortress - Factorio - Minecraft loop for about the last 15 years. Currently playing Minecraft, specifically the Enigmatica 6 Expert modpack which I started nearly 2 years ago.
Show threadGodortFeb 28, 2024

I’ve never heard of Enigmatica before. The last expert modpack I went through was FTB Interactions, which also took me about 2 years to complete.

How is it?

Show threadScrubblesFeb 27, 2024
…I count it
Show threadVerseAndVerminFeb 27, 2024

So I’m going for longevity. This two definitely wouldn’t be my first choices for top games.

Elder Scrolls Online and Minecraft. There is enough story and creativity that I would hope it works out.

Once Baldurs Gate 3 gets solid modding, and assuming modding is allowed, that takes a spot.

Show threaditsnicodegalloFeb 27, 2024
Does BG3 not? I used tons of mods that seemed regularly updated.
Show threadVerseAndVerminFeb 27, 2024
I could be wrong, I haven’t modded yet, but I think official support is in the future. That’s when I suspect it will really shine.
Show threaditsnicodegalloFeb 27, 2024

I just looked it up, and the first thing that came up was a ton of articles about a series of tweets Larian put out today explaining that they’re working on official mod support, but that they’d like to ask people to stop being toxic assholes and threatening their devs.

So I guess they don’t have official mod support, but the mods that are and have been out for months are amazing. I highly recommend Native Camera Tweaks, WASD Movement, 5e Spells, and Hexblade Warlock (gish class that makes your spellcasting modifier and melee stat both Charisma so you’re SAD instead of MAD on both Str/Dex and Int/Cha). There’s also a bunch of other QoL mods that are worth getting too.

Minecraft is not on steam unfortunately and I don’t know how wise it is to choose a multiplayer only game like ESO since they will eventually shut down the servers
Show threadVerseAndVerminFeb 27, 2024

Ah forgot the steam part.

I figure I would get bored of ESO in 15 or so years when it closes. I suspect any game will lose me at a point. For the time it’s online, it would offer a lot.

I’ll sub Minecraft out for No Man’s Sky. Valheim was close to taking the spot but it just doesn’t ring as fun when friends aren’t around. I would pace myself big time.

Oxygen not included has infinite replayability. I find so much joy just watching the plants grow in that game.
Show threadKarthNemesisFeb 27, 2024

It was close for me between ONI and Darkest Dungeon, but I've basically "solved" DD to the point where I need 120 (I counted) constantly rotating mods to even have anything to challenge me.... I'm not sure I'd ever "finish" ONI! I feel like i've barely scratched the surface, and i've put in hundreds of hours. (I love them both, though.)

That it's cute and has so many little random thoughtful details like how the hatch eggs are as big as the hatches (ouch) definitely helps too.

Honestly, I'd be pretty sad with zero city-builders. And Rain World is non-negotiable, hahah.

Dwarf Fortress and No Man’s Sky. I wanted to day Satisfactory instead, but felt it might be too close to Dwarf Fortress in nature and that would make it hard to want to play either game if I was burned out from one of them.
Show threadchunkystylesFeb 27, 2024

I came to say Dwarf Fortress. I could gush about it for a long time. It’s a very special game. This was the only game that came to mind for this question. Especially knowing that the brothers are only about half way done with all of the features they want to add to the game. And I’m not exaggerating here. They’re on version 50 and the consider version 100 to be feature complete.

I’m so glad they found another programmer.
