muttly13: Another one I had interest in. What was the appeal for you?
one of the best soundtracks in vg history,fun gameplay with just the right amount of challenge and freedom and a great meta narrative on video game violence.

The Witcher 3
Posted April 08, 2014
With the realization that plowing through my backlog could alter my choices, gotta go with the games that I've installed on every PC I've owned since I first bought these titles at their initial release:

Independence War 2 http://www.gog.com/game/independence_war_2
Operation: Flashpoint http://www.gog.com/game/arma_cold_war_assault

Heh heh, you're funny.

I really hate the thieves guild. I had to wander around that level for nearly an hour and it led to me abandoning the game and playing jagged alliance 2(1.13) instead.

Telika: Could you please develop a bit ? What do you mean, here, with monster infighting and FPP real time strategy ? And what do you mean with vanilla version instead of gog ?

I ask this as a Thief owner who hasn't installed it yet.

fronzelneekburm: Some of the different types of enemies you'll encounter in Thief are hostile towards each other. You can use this to your advantage and lure attackers into enemy territory. Of course, calling this type of gameplay "real time strategy" is a bit of a stretch, but it's fun nonetheless. Thief is a game that really encourages experimenting with the environment (and its inhabitants).

As for the vanilla version: gog sells the "Gold"-version, which adds three levels to the game which weren't included in the original release. While I personally like these three new levels, they to tend to break the pace. One of the added levels, the Thieve's guild, has become infamous for its convoluted level layout and is widely considered one of the worst levels of the original Thief games. Playing the original version is a different experience from playing the Gold version and it would be cool if you could choose which one you'd like to play.

Nirth: Dark Project instead of Gold or without NewDark?

fronzelneekburm: Nice catch, I completely forgot about NewDark, probably because I still have the non-NewDark gog-installer. But, yeah, I was referring to Dark Project.

Witcher 2.

Gothic 2, with Betrayal at Krondor a very, very close second. My only game above those is Fallout 3. So there's my top 3 all time, all genre games. Two out of three are available here at gog. Not bad.

Thief II: The Metal Age, the perfect thieving simulator, the single most immersive game I've ever played.
It's the only game I would ever consider myself a fan of. All the other games are "just games" to me.

It just nailed the atmosphere with the filmnoirish steampunk fantasy setting and the wry cynical protagonist. The dark ambient soundtrack of Eric Brosius is to die for and the attention to the audio environment puts modern games to shame. The city feels lived in and the NPC's feel like real people. The conversations people have with each other and the things they mutter to themselves are often genuinely funny and it does a lot to humanise the guards. They aren't just generic bad guys who like to kick puppies for no reason, they're regular people who complain about the long hours, feel left behind by the rapid progress, have fantasies about getting rich and hiring their own guards*, and sometimes get drunk at work and try to chat up the barmaid.

* "Someday I'm not gonna be a guard, anymore. I'm gonna be a m...manor lord. An' I'm gonna hire lotsa guards to make them go on patrols an' night watch. An' I'm gonna sneak up on them...say, 'Didn't you hear something?' An' watch 'em jump. "

tinyE: Hotline Miami is not my favorite game here but anyone who claims it is I WANT TO HANG OUT WITH! :D That thing is so bizarre and twisted for so many different reasons all of which make it one of the most unique looking and sounding games around.
The music is kinda trippy. Suits you :D

Psychonauts. "Imaginative" is really the key word with this game. Every level is completely unforgettable and the story has an excellent balance of comedy and plot. I love bizarre games, but what I think is even more impressive than just being random is giving your surreal humor actual context, Very little in the game feels weird just for the sake of being weird, everything that seems off is there for a reason, whether it just says something about the character whose mind your in at the time or is foreshadowing to a later event in the story. It's clever, likable and utterly insane, and that's why I absolutely adore it.

At a first look I'd have to go with Trine 2
