I like puzzles and stories.
Console games, I generally only bother with Legend of Zelda and Final Fantasy games. I’m always a few (or more) years behind because fuck paying $500 for a system and $70 apiece for games. The last Final Fantasy game I played was X-2, and I’m really glad I pirated the PC version because holy balls was that horribad. So far, favourite of each is Twilight Princess and Final Fantasy VIII. I’m looking forward to Breath of the Wild.
PC games: I like Fable: The Lost Chapters and Fable 3. If I could find more games like those that’d be great. I liked Oddworld: Abe’s Oddyssee back in the day, and recently found a couple of games that remind me of Abe all grown up: Limbo and Inside
Love the entire Myst series, and I teared up a bit when I finished the final game, knowing there would never be another. It’s not really the kind of game where you can go back and play again for the same experience, and I made the wrong choice at the end in a couple, and it makes me sad.
There was one Windows 95(?) PC CD-Rom game I played once that was a click-through puzzle thing and also a mystery story that I really liked, and I can’t remember the name of it to save my life. I’d picked it up in a yard sale, and I think it got left behind when we lost the house back in the day. Alas.
Anyway, I say all that to say you can keep your first person shooters and your MMORPGs. For me, video games are a solo activity. I don’t even like playing Mario Kart on two-player.
