Gamers Discuss The One Game They Keep Going Back To

When asked what your favourite song is, chances are it's one you know all the words to, all the tunes, rhythms, and chord shifts. It's basically one you've heard a million times, one you've played to death. The same can be said of books. Your favourite novel is the most worn and shabby on your shelf. The concept is the same with films, and, of course, games.

We revisit games for many reasons: a comforting story, great gameplay, or just to return to a familiar virtual space (whether with friends or on our own). Users on the NeoGAF forum had this discussion today (August 5th), which made us reminisce on our own comfort games.

User Kuranghi absolutely raved about Batman: Arkham Knight: "I have something like 250 hours in it, 100% completed it three (3) times at least. It's just such a well made game with little touches everywhere. It's like with Arrested Development, they just kept adding more and more ideas even as they were making it." Comparing Arkham Knight to Arrested Development is the kind of intertextual connection we like to see.

Other popular games were Final Fantasy, Skyrim, Call of Duty, Halo, and Fallout. A few wildcards include Bangai-O on the Dreamcast, and 2018's Deep Rock Galactic.
