Fallout 2 made the biggest impression on me because of its deep storytelling, rich world-building, and the freedom it gave players to approach problems in multiple ways. The setting, a post-apocalyptic wasteland, felt alive with a mix of dark humor, moral ambiguity, and complex characters. The choices I made in the game had real consequences, whether it was deciding how to handle different factions or interacting with various characters. It was one of the first games that really made me feel like I was shaping the world around me, not just following a linear path. The mix of RPG elements and the strong narrative kept me hooked, and the game has remained a standout in my gaming experience ever since.

cyberpunk 2077 easily

i've been playing games pretty much all my life, and that was the pinnacle of it all. the writing, the humor, the quests, even voice acting was just perfect. of course it had its problems on release but now that it's all patched up it's safe to say cyberpunk 2077 + phantom liberty dlc is one of the best games of the past decade, if not all time.

100%'d it and will definitely revisit some time later

Hi! how are you?

I always come back to No Mans Sky, as its continuously evolving. I love exploration, mining resources, building, or just walking o flying.

Thank you for the opportunity, cheers !

Hard question, but probably to this day it's Hollow Knight. Something about the atmosphere, soundtrack and overall presentation makes this game special for me and many others

For me it was the Mass Effect Trilogy that left a profound impact on me when I played it. Being a long time fan of sci fi, space and military fiction, this was straight up my alley. Really got swept away by the story, game play and the character development. Still totally love the game and I am planning to play it again very soon.

Biggest impression ever? Hard to say, so I will limit myself to the last few years: Blade and Sorcery. Theoretically, you've heard it all before: swordfighting, spellcasting, fun with ragdolls and physics. But the fact that you do this in a well-designed, polished VR experience takes it to a whole new level. It's so refreshing, it brings back the joy of playing video games for the first time in your life.

Mafia (the original from 2002) was the game that changed everything for me. Before that, I’d been playing a lot of Mario and various other games from the ‘90s, but everything changed when I got my first PC in 2003. It was a pricey Pentium 4 with 256MB of RAM, a 40GB HDD, and a video card I can’t quite recall—but you can imagine the specs based on that era. With that PC, I discovered the true power of video game immersion.

The moment I started Mafia, I was hooked. The story pulled me in completely, and I kept coming back for more. As a teenager with little gaming skill back then, I was stuck on the infamous race mission for months. But when I finally beat it, everything else was just a formality. Within a few more days, I had completed the game for the first time. Since then, I’ve revisited Mafia and finished it a few more times, and I remain deeply grateful to Illusion Softworks for creating such a masterpiece.

This game didn’t just entertain me—it changed my life. It opened the door to a career I love, one I might never have pursued otherwise. Back in school, I wasn’t the brightest student, and without Mafia sparking my passion and showing me what was possible, I might have ended up doing something like Uber deliveries. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course, but it’s a far cry from the fulfilling, well-paying career I’m fortunate to have now.

Mafia will always hold a special place in my heart.
