If you were going to be stranded on a desert island, and for some reason you could bring 5 video games with their required hardware and means to power them, what would they be? No compilations or online multiplayer if you want to be a purist about it, but I’m still interested if you have thoughts about them :)

    Minecraft as a reference guide for how to survive on said island.

    Animal Crossing so I have someone to talk to.

    Elden Ring to remind me how bleak and hopeless everything is.

    Solitaire and Minesweeper. In case I get bored.

    Games with the highest replay value for me:

    • Civilization 4
    • Heroes of Might and Magic III
    • Sid Meyer’s Alpha Centauri
    • TES3: Morrowind
    • SimCity 2000

    Can I mod them? Because if so

    • minecraft
    • skyrim
    • terraria
    • dark souls 2
    • hollowknight (so i can finally get those speedrun achievements)

      DS2 gets hate for that agility bullshit, which wasn’t completely undeserved. But that game is one of my favorites of the whole souls Bourne collection.

    • Dark Souls + DLC
    • Metroid Prime
    • Super Metroid
    • Persona 3 Portable
    • SMTV:V

    Edit: Might swap DS for Sekiro

    Those would be the extremely moddable games with a good all around base set for replayability, so for me:

    • Rimworld
    • Mount&Blade bannerlord
    • Crusader Kings 3
    • Civ 6
    • Luanti (and if have to choose a single game for it, Mineclonia I suppose)

    As long as I can also archive some amount and variety of mods for each, of course.

    If mods aren’t on the table, I think it would still look pretty much the same, except maybe civ 5 in place of 6, and in place of luanti perhaps Witcher 3, or 4 if it manages to release before this thing.

    Edit: Actually hold that a bit: I need Stellaris there, especially if mods are ok. But even without. I’d skip luanti/witcher for that.

    Minecraft: Java Edition

    Universe Sandbox²

    Subnautica (never played it, but heard it’s fun so I might like playing it in a desert island surrounded by ocean)

    Deltarune (I’d have all the time in the world to wait for the next chapters)

    ENA: Dream BBQ (same as above)
