Your favourite video game?

Soulsgames rank high, but it's been a while. Fire Emblem very very high up, I love turn-based strategy generally and I love the worlds and characters FE creates. Especially Radiant Dawn has been a refuge for most of my childhood and gave me my chosen name, Mia. I really liked both Subnautica games and played them to 100% completion, a shame the devs got fucked over. I really loved signalis even tho horror games kill me, but I still plan to 100% it as well. Big fan of factory games, especially Satisfactory that I played since the first open Beta like 8 years ago -- played every major update until 1.0 last year. Minecraft is an all time favorite that I must have played for thousands of hours, through various mod packs and dozens of servers. I love love love jrpgs like dragon quest or tales-of games but each of them takes a hundred hours or more to complete so my backlog there is centuries long...
There are also a lot of games that had a big amount of influence on me? I fear it may sound stupid but doki doki literature club.. I played it completely blind and it changed how I see fiction, and what fiction can be (and I was too down on Monika for a long while). "Your reality" to this day activates neurons in me. Divinity games were a savior in downtimes between semesters and gave me an appreciation for these types of RPGs that then later blew up with baldurs gate. Mario games -- and many first party nintendo games -- for me always have been a beacon of quality, showing me that no, releasing your games with lots of bugs does not have to be the norm. I don't remember a single bug I ever found in a nintendo game like that and I wish the entire game industry would hurry up and collapse and rebuild with proper quality standards.

... I really like games I guess. I mean I did lead a few game projects myself so I have strong opinions there too.
