Rules: just pick 1 and explain why.

I've been playing since the NES and despite being from a low income family I had the luck of being able to play and own many consoles over the 3 decades of my life, plus some pc.

If you ask me right now? Resident Evil 4 (2005).

A before and after in gaming, to this day still extremely fun to play even for casuals but 20 years ago it was THE masterpiece. And everyone took notice of it, everyone played it, even players that didn't cared about resident evil. The gameplay was so good that it got photocopied by everyone right after in the action genre.

Arguably the last big innovator in videogames minus Minecraft and... PUBG (Fortnite did it better I know).

Try to NOT pick your favourite game, that's a different thing.

Outer Wilds. Any explanation that I give would be massive spoilers, but it captures a genre, aesthetic, and theme that, in my experience, has been virtually unused by any other game before and still remains extremely underutilized

I came to say Outer Wilds as well. Honestly changed my perspective on what a video game can be and I can't find any other game that gives me that same feeling. The only bad thing about Outer Wilds is you can only really experience it once

I’m four hours in and just don’t get it

I get it might not be for everyone. Until the main thing happened the first time I wasn't sold either, but personally, the game does an amazing job at making me naturally and fervently curious about what the heck was going on
