Question of the week: favorite video game

For last week we talked a little bit about computer game soundtracks, which begs the obvious question.

What is your all-time favorite video game? Like the one you keep coming back to play again and again. No wrong answers, obviously.

For me, I think it comes down to a toss-up between two. The oldest one is MASTER OF MAGIC from 1994, though I think the remake from 2022 is a worthy successor. Admittedly the 2022 remake took a bunch of patches to get there, but the original version from 1994 also required many patches, so it’s just continuing the original game’s legacy. The newer one is SKYRIM, which I have been playing on and off since 2011, and even though I (finally) beat the main campaign during COVID in 2020, I still keep coming back to it.
