    For me it has to be honkai impact 3rd I love it because of the story, character designs, music and in general fits with what I would look for in a game, my most memorable moment would be getting one of the characters in version 3.6 I really liked playing her while she was considered strong I would definitely recommend to people that love hack and slash games with anime girls, and compelling story.

    I grew up with the likes of counter strike 1.6, gta vice city, san andreas and gta 4, need for speed, max payne, lineage 2, world of warcraft. Going more into the 2012-2015 era i played games like X-Men Origins: Wolverine (i've replayed this game soo many times), Prototype, Land of the dead.. Oh i remember playing it online with a friend and enjoying it a ton. As well as Minecraft. I still remember my first house which was made out of dirt only. I didn't even know you could use craft and use different materials.

    I could probably write an entire essay about how much i've played and enjoy these games. But there was one game out of the bunch that had me really hooked on as a child. And it was Lineage 2. A korean mmo rpg. I suspect not many people have heard of it. But for me who lives in eastern europe, it was very very popular back then. Me and my friends use to go this internet cafee where the "bigger" kids played it a lot. And we would just sit right next to them watching. Eventually my sister got a computer and the moment she went to work, i was right upstairs, eager to play. I used to spend like 5-6 hours every other day from like 2 PM afternoon untill 7-8 PM. I was crazy obsessed over it.

    Somewhere around 2015 i also started playing a free to play game called Smite. Lots of memories there. Going into the 2016-2020 most notably i loved playing Pubg, COD warzone and Smite. For whatever reason ever since then i've been playing less and less games for the most part.

    I discovered the Forza Horizon series in 2020. And i've been hooked playing Horizon 4 since it launched on steam and then Forza Horizon 5 as it launched few months later. The game that pulled me back into the racing game genre was actually Need for Speed Heat.

    Some ups and downs later im basically here. Jumping from one game to another, not really sticking to anything in particular for too long. It's like i'm basically in a spot where i'm yet to find that ONE game that will define and spark my interest again. Problem is, it feels like the process is taking a little too long. And i suspect it's because i'm getting older. I'm no longer that 12,13,15 year old who just so easily gets sunk into the prospect of playing their favorite game for endless amount of hours.

    Anyway, if you reached this far reading i shall thank you for attending to my ted talk!

    Honestly, I have a lot of favorite games, but the ones that stand out the most are CDDA and TF2. TF2 is honestly one of my favorite First Person Shooters because it's not always about "click point and shoot" like most FPSs are. Its about understanding the class you play and how you use its abilities to your advantage, while keeping its limitations in mind. For example, playing Scout requires a lot of skills and the very high reflexes, and requires you to know how to pick your fights accordingly. Taking on classes like Heavy, Pyro, and Soldier in close combat is very difficult, but against a Demo, Medic, Sniper or Spy its pretty easy. Engi is sort of in the middle, since him alone doesn't pose a big threat unless he's got his sentry built. Anyways, that's TF2 pretty much, and talking about how each class has its advantages and disadvantages against other classes, or how good classes can work together based on their abilities would take me hours to write down or even explain with words, so lets move on to CDDA.
    CDDA, short for Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead is a 2D, tile based open-world post-apocalyptic roguelike, in which all apocalypse scenarios happened at once. Zombies, aliens invading, mutants, robots, sentient spores from another dimension bent on consuming everything, reality collapsing, portals to other dimensions with incomprehensible horrors spewing out, etc. Your goal is, well, to survive, but not in the way you'd think. Sure you need water, food and other stuff to live, but you don't have a fixed objective. You have quests, sure, and a main storyline, but you can ignore it if you want. You can do pretty much anything that you'd want to do in real life if you were in that apocalypse. You could dissasemble anything you want down to its bare components, and put it back together if you have the skill and the tools. You can craft almost anything in the game, again, if you have the skill and tools. The game has also, a LOT of items. Thousands of them in fact. You can craft almost anything that would go through your mind. Need a hammer? Use a rock as a makeshift hammer. It has a poor hammering quality, but it'll do for basic tasks like hammering nails to a board. Need a crowbar to pry a crate open? Yank a pipe off a wall, bend it ends with the rock mentioned previously, and bam, you have a makeshift crowbar (crudely made, so it won't be as good as an actual crowbar). Anyways, the crafting system is very in depth and realistic, requiring you the same ingredients and tools as you would need them in real life. Trying to comprise the entirety of CDDA here is difficult, and I am running out of time (have work to do) so I'll sadly have to leave it at this and maybe anyone here would like to check it out.

    My favorite games are CDDA and TF2. I made a post on this thread already, but it was too long. So for short, TF2 is an amazing fps that relies on not only your ability to point and shoot and have quick reflexes, but also on strategic thinking when it comes to playing with a specific class.
    CDDA is a 2D turn-based open-world, post-apocalyptic roguelike in which all apocalypse scenarios have happened all at once, and its your objective to survive in this world. It has a lot of degrees of freedom when it comes to cratfing, item usage, fighting, vehicle creation and so many more.

    The game i played the most and also love the most would be Terraria, especially in combination with the Calamity mod, which GREATLY increases the content of the game by 2-3 times. I love the idea of a sandbox in which you start out as a regular human and slowly but surely start fighting more and more powerful bosses, until even gods come challenge you.

    Also, there is a LOT of variety and gives the player many options to be creative in building a base. Almost every weapon (and later on armor) feels different to the other. The music is great too

    I keep coming back to Counter-Strike because of the fast rounds and how every match feels different depending on your team and strategy—it's intense but still easy to jump into.

    I've always loved Counter-Strike because of how tense and rewarding each round can be. There's nothing like clutching a 1v3 with barely any health left. I also like how skins add a personal touch to the game. Sometimes I sell cs2 skins I’m not using anymore to get others I like more or to buy passes for events. It's a cool way to keep everything fresh without spending extra money.
