Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Tough to pick only 5… I'll try:
Doesn't feel right leaving Viewtiful Joe, Catherine, Hellsinker, and Under Night out, but I believe this top 5 accurately represents my taste: action games interspersed with fighting games and shmups, and an odd puzzle/rhythm game every now and then.
Halo Mario64 To the moon Rocketleague Battlefield modern warfare
Elite Dangerous Conan Exiles S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Life Force Heroes of Might and Magic III
Space Station 14
Celeste
Portal 2
Splatoon Raiders
Breath of the Wild
Noita Ultrakill Doom eternal Animal well Helldivers 2
And just barely Primordialis No mans sky
Age of Empires 2 (Age of Kings & Conquerers), NFS MW-2005, GTA Series (Liberty City, Vice City), Crysis 3, & Assassins Creed 2 Ezio-Trilogy.
Top 5 is cutting too short. There are so many timeless games that didn't make the list.

Cyberpunk 2077
EVE Online
Quake 3 Arena
Grand Theft Auto (All), League of Legends (shame that it doesn't work on GNU/Linux anymore), Clash of Clans, Minetest(Luanti), Counter-Strike.

Okay look, I know a lot of people don't like AC: Odyssey. But it was the first AC game I played and the whole thing just clicked for me. It's a pure sit back and wander experience for me.
it's your top 5, you can choose whatever you want!
I'm partial to AC2 and ACBrothethood, I think those games cemented the game legacy
Nightreign
Elden ring
Demons souls
Silent hill 2
Baldurs gate 3
Sekiro.
I'd have to think a lot to come up with the rest...
Maybe Super Mario World is on there.
Not sure I have “favorites” but measuring by impact on me:
RuneScape
Final Fantasy 7 (original)
Rust
Oblivion
Stardew Valley
I'll go. I'm a weirdo though so... Rust, DayZ, Long Dark, N64 Goldeneye, original Kings/Space/Police quest games.
