Games that have sunk into the soul
Suddenly, I sharply wanted to ask if you have any games that really sunk into the soul, playing in which you understood that here it is, my favorite game. For example, you started playing the game and literally forgot about the existence of others, you only want to play it, over and over again. Or after the passage you had a kind of "shock" that you do not want to play in anything for the next few days. Or, maybe it will be a game that you have devoted more than one hundred (and maybe not one thousand hours), going through not only the game itself, but also various additions, mods, but even if just studying its world and the like. It is very interesting to read, you can also write what this or that game hooked you with, maybe you can help someone find their favorite game in which he (or she) will spend, like you, a lot of time, and will spend this time with pleasure. In advance,The Witcher 3, Borderlands 2, Age of Empires, Darksiders II, Tomb Raider 2013, oh yes there is a whole bunch.
Metal Gear Solid 2, at one time.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Shining Force 2, Landstalker - it was impossible to tear everyone by the ears.
The visual novel Higurashi When They Cry is still one of my favorite stories.
First Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney.
And, of course, the first Portal.
Yes, GTA: VC is a very good game, one might even say a cult one, but I prefer SA, the atmosphere there is different chtoli, and the plot is a little more interesting, IMHO. Portal passed both the first and the second, but again I liked the second part more, more possibilities, and the plot is more varied. But Shining Force 2 and Landstalker failed to evaluate
Age of Empires (second), GTA 2, Star craft. that's what has sunk into my soul since childhood, but now it seems like there are a lot of games and graphics are on fire, something is not right ... I’m probably getting old)))
ooo how I understand you 
beautifully yes, but everything became dull and easy
Do you like meat?) Well, it's not a sin, I adore Sam myself, one of my favorite games forever
After going through SOMA I thought for a long time, a very interesting story; the first Halva; COD 4 was a masterpiece in shooters when it was released in 2007; Dark Souls, not just a hardcore game, but with a beautiful, dark storyline; Resident Evil 4.
In general, there are quite a few interesting projects that are hooked.
Thank you for your opinion, even though I'm not a strong fan of shooters, but COD 4 passed more than once and I still remember many missions from there, which means the game is at least not bad. In RE and DS there were thoughts of playing, but somehow it did not work out. I think after your comment I will find time for them too.
That thing is, I agree, my favorite part, however I prefer to play "clean" games (no mods)
Dishonored, TES4: Oblivion, Dragon Age: Origins, Assassin's Creed (Ezio trilogy)
Replayed many times.
For Dishonored, Assassin's Creed (Ezio's trilogy) agrees with you. It was the same ...
