I'm really interested in knowing your absolute favorite games that you always can "go-to" when you're bored. These are the games that you can play anytime, over and over again, and constantly find enjoyment.

This doesn't include games that you played a few times and stopped. Even if the game was great the first time you played it. Great examples of this would be The Stanley Parable (outstanding game but lacks replayability after completing all the endings) and Tell-Tale games.

Top favorite "Go-To" games

  1. Minecraft (1500+ hours) - Pretty sure this doesn't need an explanation. I've been playing this game since 2010
  2. Terraria (600+ hours) - The sheer amount of content in this game is incredible. Been playing this since 2011, and any game that can keep my interest for that long is worthy of praise.
  3. Rocket League (150+ hours) - This game took over my life this year. My 2016 motto has been "just one more game".

Honorable Mentions

  • Don't Starve Together (really close to being a top favorite) - Would have dropped so many hours into this game if I had more people to play with consistently
  • Binding of Isaac Franchise - Unlimited replayability but gets a bit old after a while. Still a fantastic game.
  • Killing Floor 1 & 2 - KF1 is a classic, KF2 is fun but needs a lot of work
  • Dying Light - I've never dropped 50 hours on a game faster than Dying Light. The only issue is replayability.
  • Left for Dead 2 - Thrives off of coop. Fun with friends, a bit boring solo.
  • Risk of Rain - Great with friends, always fun to try out new strategies with each run-through. (Great replayability)

  1. League of Legends - Have been playing it for 5 years now
  2. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive - Have been always trying to get better at it
  3. Rocket League - It's so weirdly addictive
  4. The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth - It's awesomely addictive
  5. Portal/Portal 2 - SO addictive that I've completed Portal 4 times, Portal 2 4 times, Portal 2 co-op 5 times, Aperture Tag once, and I am currently working on Portal Stories: Mel

I don't have any game that I can always enjoy over and over again, but if I had to choose something, I'd go with WoW.

New Vegas was the one for me =) But lately (in last 6 months) my go-to game is ESO. I tell you, it's even more attractive than Fallout 4 that awaits me in my library :D

Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction. It's been my go to game for years since it came out.

Titan Quest: Immortal Throne is a close second, followed The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth and Dark Souls: Prepare to die edition.

I've for quite some time been able to play Europa Universalis 4. I didn't imagine me sinking so many hours into it, but I'm almost at 1.000 hours, and I'm far from done playing it. I foresee me playing that one for as long as they develop it, and probably a good time afterwards as well.

That said though, I don't really have any exclusive go-to game that I can just always start up and enjoy. The mood still has to hit me, but EU4 is probably what comes closest to my go-to game.

I return to Metro 2033 once in a while as well for a playthrough, one of the best games I've ever played.

Diablo 3 can tickle my fancy once in a while as well whenever new content rolls out, but my play throughs are getting a bit short now, so I don't know how much rolling a new character each season can keep me entertained anymore.

This War Of Mine is another game for me I sometimes visit for a playthrough. I really love the atmosphere in that one. Great stuff.

I few games I really want to revisit though is Banner Saga and Sunless Sea.

Currently it's One Finger Death Punch for me, even though I've not played it for long just yet. It just is a perfect game to sit back for a bit and play (I use a controller for it), yet still providing enough of a challenge to keep it interesting.

I agree on the replayability on Dying Light as well. It's an amazing game, but once you beat it, there is not much left to do.

Portal 2 - I never run out of custom maps because the community keeps making 'em :D
Morrowind - an oldie but that just means it has even more mods! I just have to make sure not to get carried away and install too many at once that end up conflicting... Fallout: New Vegas and Skyrim to a lesser extent too (I'd probably give Fallout 3 another run too with some new mods if it wasn't such a lot of work to get it to run)
and usually a GTA/Saints Row/etc game too, though at the moment Mad Max is filling that role
