CounterStrike - no two games are alike.

Either League of Legends or Hearthstone - something which changes over time, and is difficult to reach the highest levels of play in.

An open world game with a strong user mod community, like Fallout4, Skyrim, etc.

Project Cars, good selection of tracks and cars, plenty of content to get through before I'd ever say I mastered it. Virtual racing driver for life.

I was stuck for an answer til I read this. I'd get a hotas and learn to fly those crazy ships.

Tricky one. Honestly for me I would say Battlefield 4. I had all the maps and spent many hours on there. If it still had the player base I would still be playing. Some of the maps were incredible like the wake island one, but there just arent the people playing it anymore.

I'd say exactly the opposite - if you want one game for life, you don't want to be relying on the vagaries of other players.

Easiest way to waste an afternoon and one I think I'll always come back to as focus is not on graphics or a plot, you litereally can do anything.

It's pretty sure, but a pale imitation of BF2.

I think you are confusing Open World with MMORPG. I wasn't referring to online mutiplayer games, I was referring to open world single player games like Fallout4 and Skyrim. Which is why I mentioned Fallout4 and Skyrim. smile

Another vote for Fallout 4, no matter what games I get I always end up going back to it

Purely from the point of view that it has the addiction factor to sustain heavy interest, albeit in phases that come and go. No game I've ever played comes close on the hours spent.
Great Shout.

My Milwall game has "clicked" again and I can't put the bloody thing down banghead

Tough call; I could maybe narrow it down to a couple, then it would be a random choice.

Rimworld - Hugely addictive, difficult, loads of content and multiple ways to play it. If it had onine co-op (drop in and out style), it would be my perfect game. It is still only in alpha as well!

Eve Online - I played it for a few months, but when I finally grasped how hugely complex it was and the amount of hours I'd need to put in just to become 'average', I gave up. One game for life? You could sink thousands of hours into this and still not make it into the top tier.

Skyrim - Not sure I could survive without playing this ever again. Huge game, loads of options and customisation. Played 6 or 7 new games over the years and rarely follow the same path twice (aside from the main story).

Skyrim.

I've easily put into the wrong side of a few hundred hours into this game, several new starts and always discover something new each time. Could very easily put in a few hundred more hours and then you've got the huge amount of mods available.

IME what would torpedo this would be the ability to have one machine that would allow you to play this game for the rest of your life.
