Not gonna rank them because I can't.
Age of Empires II I've played since release and still do occasionally.
Everhood 1 everything about it I love. During covid things got very dark for me personally and this game just hit perfectly on some stuff plaguing my mind at the exact right time I most needed it. The devs were one hit wonders unfortunately. Coming from that, the sequel was atrocious.
Thief 2: The Metal Age. It's like crack to this brain of mine. Yes I play The Dark Mod too.
Runners up:
LISA: The Painful
Diddy Kong Racing
Thief 2 is just incredible. Many games try, but none can dethrone the stealth game king.
And I totally forgot about Diddy Kong Racing, but yeah. It's legitimately a better game than Mario Kart 64.
Aye and it helps the fans are so passionate making new maps to play for both Thief games and TDM.
DKR holds up so much better. It's just more* realised too. Way more stuff to do. MK64 is skeletal more like an arcade game really. Wish it'd get some reverse engineering love as much as I enjoy the fan made map packs for MK64.
With DKR once you get used to the car drifting camera movements, bunny hopping the hovercraft, letting go of the gas before hitting boosts, and learning the plane can also trigger ground boosts you'll feel like a god.
I see a lot of people shit on the hovercraft while I'm over here bunny hopping sharp corners jumping up to smash into walls on purpose like a psycho so I don't slow down ping ponging all over. It's such a joy.
