In these days of pay-to-win, what is your favorite, good quality, buy once and play forever games?



RPGs - The original Fallout series (1, 2, Tactics) - Morrowind/Oblivion - The original Deus Ex

RTS/TBS - Civilization (any) - Age of Empires II (now remastered on steam) - Rise of Nations

Roguelikes - FTL - Rogue Legacy

World Builders - Sim City 3k - Terreria/Minecraft

Fighters/Shooters/Hack-and-Slash - Day of Defeat - CS 1.6/CS Source

Puzzles - Portal/Portal 2 - Puzzle Quest

Great Cashdumps (They have TONS of DLC content) - All games by Paradox (Victoria, Hearts of Iron, EU, Stellaris)


Kerbal Space Program. Any Civ Game. I suspect that I'll be playing Fallout 4 for a while, even though it's really not that good: There's something distractingly immersive about wandering around the Commonwealth listening to the radio. Similarly, Skyrim.


Rome: Total War

Bought it in 2004, still play it regularly.
