Of any genre, what is the best game you have played recently?

I have moved largely away from the MMORPG genre; there just isn't much that interests me currently (I am watching and waiting though). I am playing more and more multi-player arena and single player games... but I am always after suggestions of something new to try. 

Please let me know what games you have enjoyed recently (MMORPG or otherwise), and why they appealed to you. 

I'll start off with two: -

Robocraft: Think WOT, but where you design your own machine from the ground up, in a sci-fi setting. There are some balancing issues (missile launchers :/), but it is just great fun. Plus I find designing and building and improving your bot endlessly fun.  

Life is Strange: I stumbled across this one by accident, largely because high school angst is not a subject that interests me in the slightest, and I nearly quit during some of the more cringeworthy dialogue in the opening chapter... but thank F I stayed with it. It is a point and click adventure, but actually tells a deep, immersive and surprisingly emotional story.

    I'm currently playing Metal Gear Solid V and it is very close to being the best game I have ever played.  Also the first 6 Assassin's Creed games from the main series are definitely worth playing.  Each game adds something new making it refreshing.

    But nothing is "best" in my book same crap over and over, lol. 

    A man who fears nothing is a man who loves nothing; and if you love nothing, what joy is there in your life?

    Divinity- Original Sin.
    Dragon's Dogma on PC
    or
    Valkyria Chronicles on PC

    Not playing anything new right now (just some oldies) but nice thread, Little-Boot. Good to read something that isn't all negative; downloading Robocraft off of steam as we speak. Thank you for that.  =)

    Dragon's Dogma on PC, just a ton of fun and love the rating system for Pawns
    and Black Desert Online, it is the closest so far to come to my favorite game, SWG

    Tough question. If i really have to pick one game it would be basically any game within any particular series within the Shin Megami Tensei Universe (SMT, Persona, Digital Devil Saga, Devil Summoner, etc), but then Suikoden is also a favorite of mine so......

    How dare you ask such tough questions here... B)


    EDIT: noticed you said recently. I have to say either Witcher 3, bloodborne, or Persona 4 Golden.

    How dare you keep asking tough questions lol

    Out of the recent games: I would have to say XCOM2 due to the nice changes/improvements to an already great remake.  Total War: Attila because it has gone back and improved upon some of the root gameplay from the earlier games in the franchise.  Finally, Mordheim: City of the Damned because who wouldn't love an X-Com style game set in the Warhammer universe with 3rd person over the shoulder movement?

    I haven't heard of half of these games so I'm looking them up, and boy do yall have some eclectic tastes in video games.

    I no shit just watched a YouTube video for a game that looks like it's about a 12 year old schoolgirl and a very effeminate 15 year old boy saving the world in a WWII tank.

    I then visited a web page for a game that looks exactly like one that I played on my Game Boy in 1991.

    Me, I'm playing World of Tanks again.  The new patch has completely revamped the physics engine in the game and I've been having a hilarious time dying in creative ways in my light tanks.

    If you're referring to Valkyria Chronicles, don't the aesthetic fool you it's a fun tactical game, that is well executed.

    Kerbal Space Program: Here is a game that prooves a game can be engaging, challenging and exciting and not be about killing something AND be educational to real world physics all at the same time.

    Wurm Online/Unlimited: your character has 135 skills, hundreds if not a thousand items to craft the vast majority of which have a purpose, terraforming, build your own village homestead or empire, farming, Animal Husbandry, Forestry, much more...and all in 1st person like a game of this kind should be

    7 Days to Die: Voxel based high adrenaline crafting/building, fortress design, tower defense game in first person. and yes you will loose your first base

    Please do not respond to me, even if I ask you a question, its rhetorical.

    Final fantasy 7: The story really got to me. Lost artform in todays rpgs.

    Mount & Blade: When you thought it was just a cheap indie clone. And it manages to do everything no AAA ever could and then some. This should be held on a pedestal in front of AAA companies. (looking at you Ubisoft / (new) Bioware).

    Broken Sword 1, 2: Again with the story. Replayed it not long ago, no one has come close to the throne (no, not even Telltale's walking dead).

    Zomboid: The only (out of hundreds) zombie survival game done right.


    edit: I wonder how many items listed is going not going to be indie or pre-millennium ..
