Grubby ranks his TOP 10 FAVORITE GAMES EVER! 

I wonder what #1 is going to be Clueless

I want a 2 hour essay video on StarCraft 2

Perfect ending of a video :D 1 - StarCraft - Brood War (basically found all my friends through it when I was moved to a different school, defined my life for so many years) 2 - StarCraft 2 - Same reason but later, started taking it seriously ended up being Top 8 nationally, but dropped it after HotS cos life happened, but to this day I still watch a ton of YT videos, mainly WinterStarcraft and LowKo 3 - Heroes of Might and Magic 3 - Cannot count the hours me and my brothers put into this game, staying up late at night doing hot seat games 4 - World of WarCraft - Just the best MMORPG in the market basically, so many combinations and playstyles, classes. The amount of content is just mindblowing and the difficulty is so high that I can rarely finish the highest content in the seasons 5 - Borderlands 2 - I'd say if you ever want to try out a chill FPS that doesn't need to be taken seriously, BL2 is the game. Incredebly funny yet lot of builds exist and the Diablo-like loot system + extra difficulty you can add really makes it shine. Also who doesn't want to hear their character laugh when they just blow up an enemy :D

It's crazy how many people have dota as "that game I really want to play, but can't"

I still play Heroes3, it's unbelievable how alive this is stilll today, people building new map templates, tournaments happening, streamers online :)

In no particular order: - Super Mario Odyssey. Perfect relax game which I play through yearly. - Europa Universalis 4. Instead of the RP experience being centered around i fantastical creature/hero, you get to RP as a nation. - Victoria 3. Same as the one above. - World of Warcraft: Vanilla/Classic. Fantastic times with one's friends. - Brood War. Barely play it, but watch it religiously (thank you Nick and Dan) - Diablo 2. Childhood defining game. - Dota 2. Fantastic game. Looking forward to every TI. - Pokemon blue. Got a little emotional when I came to think of it, especially the soundtrack. - Mafia 1. Played it soo much in 2002 or so when it released. One of the best games ever. Special mentions: - WC2 and Dune 2000. My earliest RTS experiences. - Fifa 98 - WC3. Tower defence on LAN was some of the most fun things you could do. - Battlefield 1942/Vietnam. - CoD2

1. Mass Effect Trilogy - I genuinely think you would love this series. The pause/play gameplay is kind of the inversion of WC3, FPS with a little strategy mixed in. 2. Path of Exile 3. WC3 - Specifically the custom maps, I didn't really play the multiplayer. 4. Control - Insanely beautiful game 5. Dawn of War II - Specifically the campaign, again I think you would adore this. The hero/RPG elements blended so well with the RTS gameplay.

1. Dungeon Keeper 2 2. Warcraft 3 TFT 3. Dwarf Fortress 4. Baldur's Gate 3 5. Fallout: New Vegas Great list, Grubby. The thousands of hours I must have spent playing WC3 custom games and random team matches in high school... It will always have a special place in my memory. Before that, Dungeon Keeper 2 was my introduction to the RTS genre. I fell in love with the dark humor, music, and playing as the villain. I still go back to it from time to time.

"...if you are 5% better than your opponent..." shows game against ToD 😬😄 ❤

1- Dota 2 2- Diablo 2 3- Dark Souls 4- Chrono Trigger 5- Starcraft: Brood War Honorable mention to Team Fortress 2 Love you Grubby

My top 10 favorite games: 1. Warcraft 3 (Original and Frozen Throne) 2. Heroes of might and magic 3 3. Starcraft 1 (Original and Brood war) 4. Ultima 8: Pagan 5. Resident Evil 4 6. Doom 3 7. Syndicate Plus 8. Doom 2 9. Starcraft 2 10. Heretic

1. Rocket League - 2.5k h and still loving it,not grinding but purely playing for fun/relax. 2. Counter Strike - ~5k h was fun but age did its part to reflexes. 3. Terraria - 400h super fun! 4. Warcraft 3 - ~1k h Custom maps [ Defi4nc3's was fav. ] 5. Homm3 - ~ 200h, my childhood first turn based game. +Bonus, Rise of Nation - fun singleplayer fast game. Have you seen/tried Command&Conquer franchise?

My top 5 games of all time is 1. Baldurs Gate 3 2. Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous 3. The Witcher 3 4. Total War Warhammer 3 5. Starcraft 2

It's so hard to pinpoint 5 games only, but I think this is my list. 1. Age of empire 2 DE 2. Age of Mythlogy (the original one, and the voobly custom patch is surprisingly good too). 3. The soulsborne series (especially Dark souls 3 & Bloodborne, Elden ring was a banger too tbh, Sekiro best gameplay). 4. Baldur's gate 3 5. Dwarf fortress (I sunk so many hours in this so quickly lol). Honorable mentions: Dark age of Camelot, Medal of Honor Allied Assault, the X-Wing series from lucasart & XWA, SCBW, Faster than light, Lies of P (I'm not done yet with that one, but it's a great game), portal 1 & 2, dishonored 1 & 2, L4D & L4D 2, frostpunk, Hades, Darkest Dungeon, Tunic, Hollow Knight.

1. Starcraft Brood War 2. Warcraft III The Frozen Throne 3. Star Wars KOTOR 4. Aliens vs Predator 2 (2001 game by Sierra) 5. WoW Wrath of the Lich King Starcraft II was also a disaster from a storyline point of view.

Dude your brood war story is exactly how my brothers and I used to play too. I had 2 brothers, I was always the Protoss player, one loved Terran and the other loved Zerg. We were all so bad at the game but boy was it fun trying to go though the campaign. It’s hard to remember memories as iconic as these growing up!

1. Path of Exile. I literally have been playing this game every league for 10 years or so. 2. Starcraft. First RTS, still have great memories on it. 3. Rocket League. Amazing game, and the way the skill ceiling evolves is insane and beautiful. 4. Warcraft 3, great memories 5. Soulcalibur 6. FF VII 7. Crash team racing haha. Loved that game 8. Tomb raider 9. Some abandonware like Super Off Road, Another world etc and I'll stop there :)

Solid list - Warcraft 3 forever! 💯💯 I was glad to see Heroes of the Storm make the list too. I was surprised by how good HotS was when I first played it. Great points on how Warcraft 3 is less cheesy. My top 5 games: 5. Doom (1&2) 4. Quake (1&2) 3. Diablo 2 2. StarCraft 1. Warcraft 3

Nice video Dota 2 fan myself can you make a video talking about how would you improve dota 2?

1. Dota 2 2. Counter Strike 3. Witcher 3 4. Cities Skylines 5. Warcraft 3

1 - Doom 2 - The first game is massively influential in defining the first person shooter before FPS was a colloquial term. D2 fleshes out the gameplay with excellent additions to the beastiary (Mancubi/Revenant etc.) along with the iconic Super Shotgun. Active modding scene keeping the game very much kicking to this day. 2 - Starcraft: Brood War - Rushed home to log onto battlenet and play custom games day after day with friends from school. Likely a routine many Starcraft owners shared. 3 - Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast - Addicting Star Wars game on the Id Tech 3 engine. Dueling and lightsaber combat peaked imo with Outcast/Academy. 4 - Warcraft 3: The Frozen Throne - Ahhh the days of finding Grubby vods on wc3replays and stealing strategies to badly imitate on the ladder. C tier Orc player, S++++ Uther party player. (

#1 - Dota 2 #2 - DotA AllStars #3 - Defense Of The Ancients #4 - That game where your carry throws. #5 - Ogre Magi Midas #6 - Kill The Roshan #7 - PA vs Tormentor #8 - Steal the Wisdom #9 - Zeus, ult! #10 - Herald Express

Final Fantasy Tactics, Warcraft 2, Civilization 1, Baldur’s Gate 1, Diablo 1

My Top 5: 1. Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne - Best RTS Game (and sandbox game) 2. Minecraft - Best Building Game 3. Team Fortress 2 - Best FPS Game 4. Plazma Burst 2 - Best 2D Flash Game 5. Killing Floor 2 - Best Zombie Wave Based Game

In no particular order(too hard): The Witcher 3 Diablo (1995) Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Alex the kid in miracle world Warcraft 3 Total war warhammer 2 Final Fantasy 8 Tekken 3 Pokemon Silver Gold Crystal Chronotrigger

When I was 10, home computers and Windows 95 became a thing. There was a magazine called "Computer Gaming World". There was often a CD with a bunch of little demo versions of upcoming games. There was a game called "Z" on one of them. That was the first RTS I ever played. At 10 years old, I thought it was the coolest game ever. When SC1 came out, I fell in love. Shortly after BW came out, I got a 28K modem for and an e-Machines PC with a Celeron processor for Christmas. BW was the greatest game ever... in extra high latency and all. My list: 1) StarCraft: Brood War 2) StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void 3) StarCraft 4) StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty 5 ) StarCraft 2: Heart of the Swarm 6) Final Fantasy 7 7) Super Mario RPG 8) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 9) The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 10) Tekken Tag Tournament

1 - Halo 3 2 - Stronghold Crusader 3 - Battlefield Bad Company 2 4 - Command and Conquer 1 (actually played that only on the PS1 lol) 5 - Overwatch 1 Honorable mentions: WC3, BFME1, Dota

my favourites: SP: single player MP: multi player 1. Rayman 3 [SP - 3D platformer, amazing music and game design just oozes variety-gimmicks and fun easygoing bosses - short fast playthrough] 2. Team Fortress 2 [MP - arena shooter] 3. Super Metroid [ SP - I dont have to tell you this genre it is it's own] 4. Underrail [SP - CRPG] 5. C&C Tiberium Wars [SP] / Kane's Wrath [MP]

1. Starcraft 2. Counterstrike (untill patch 1.6) 3. Command & conquer: Red Alert 4. Top Spin 5. Heartstone 6. Ninja gaiden 7. Fifa '94 8. Tony Hawk 3

Top nostalgia picks that I can't rate objectively today because they were such formative parts of my childhood/adolescence #1 Warlords: Battlecry #2 Dungeon Keeper #3 Dragon Quest Monsters 2 #4 Warcraft 3 #5 Digimon World 5 favorite games of my adult life #1 Subnautica #2 The Long Dark #3 Kenshi #4 Vermintide #5 Undertale Honorable mentions Dawngate, the actual best MOBA and one of the best games of all time, RIP, I cannot express how much my heart is still broken. Would be top pick if it still existed. Against the Storm, feels too recent to really call it one of my favorite games of all time but definitely my most recent favorite. Soulsborne series, because I can't narrow it down to one.

1. Leauge of legends 2. Warcraft III frozen throne 3. Warlords III (darlords rising) 4. Baldurs gate III 5. Age of emipres II 6. Dungeon siege 2 7. Heroes of might and magic 4 8. Hearthstone Battlegrounds. 9. Civ 6 10. Hearthstone arena

In no particular order: Warcraft 3 Silent hill 2 (I hate horror games, but this one is too good) Dune 2/2000 (probably could name most of early WestWood games tbh) XCOM/UFO Civilization 2/3/4/5/6 Red Dead Redemption 2 Path of Exile

1. Newerwinter Nights 2. World of Warcraft (up to WoD) 3. Dune: Spice wars

1. Heroes 3- all versions including the new mods 2. Dota- the original scenario in warcraft 3 and Dota 2 3. Warcraft 3- playing the campaing as well as multiplayer and mostly all the custom maps 4. Star Wars KOTOR 5. Arcanum 6. Fallout- the whole serries 7. Diablo 2 8. Baldur's Gate - the whole serries 1,2,3 9. Neverwinter nights - 1,2 10. Mortal combat 2 Honorable mentions- Battle realms (2001) and my first RTS- Dune 2 (1992)

Top 5 games: Total Annihilation, Warcraft 3 TFT, Terraria, Valheim, Mario 64

I find lists can vary wildly if you go "best" or "favorite" or "most played" or "most childhood bias"... so to avoid a generic list full of Worlds of Warcrafts, Frozen Thrones, Leagues of Legends, Battlefields, and such, here is instead a list of my most UNIQUE and/or criminally UNDERRATED games ever: - Sacrifice (2000) - Dungeon Keeper 2 (1999) - Silver (1999) - Ground Control (2000) (or a spiritual successor like World in Conflict or Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak) - Ultimate General: Civil War (2017) - Northgard (2018) - Anno 1404 Venice as a cutthroat PvP multiplayer game instead of a chill, casual city builder (2010) - Cossacks 2 (2005) - Helldivers (2015) - Highfleet (2021)

1. World of Warcraft 2. Football Manager (Championship manager) series (starting with CM 93/94). 3. Quake 1-2, Doom 1-2 4. Warcraft 3 / Starcraft 2 5. Goldeneye

Fun vid! Can't decide the order, so I'll just throw in my all-time favs: - WoW Classic/TBC/Wotlk - Starcraft Brood War - Starcraft 2 - Dune: Spice Wars - Diablo 2 LoD - Warcraft 3 TFT - HOMM 3-4-5 - Dota & Dota2 - Dune2000 - Emperor: Battle for Dune - Wildstar - Wolfenstein Enemy Territory - Quake3: Arena - The Stanley Parable Finally, a couple low budget/roguelite/roguelike/DOS/browser favs: Vampire Survivors, Prosperous Universe, Papers Please, Chants of Sennaar, Urbo, Crimsonland, Dune2, Cryo's Dune, Lotus, Retal, Prehistorik2

Awesome that our tastes are really close. My top 5, off the top of my head, would be: 1. Age of Empires 2 2. X-COM: UFO Defense 3. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 4. Kingdom Hearts 2 5. Mega-Bomberman (Sega) Honorable Mentions: LOTR: Shadow of War, Neverwinter Nights 2, Twisted Metal 2, Starcraft: Brood War, X-COM 2, Diablo 2, Age of Empires 4, Shining Force. Heroes of the Storm was by far my favorite MOBA. Loved playing TLV.

1. Starcraft II 2. Baldurs gate 2 3. Cyberpunk 2077 4. Anno 1800 5. Warcraft 3 : Frozen Throne

1- Skyrim 2- Dota 2 3- Elite Dangerous 4- The Forest 5- Warcraft 3

1. Best game in the entire world is 100% Warcraft 3. Not just because I got it when i was only 5 years old and played the campaign 200 times in the span of a year. It is objectively the best game because whatever game ever existed outside of it can be found within its custom maps. You like playing WoW? There is a custom map. Like playing RPG games like Divinity Original Sin and Baldurs Gate? There is a custom map. Like playing among us? There is a custom map. Like playing survivor type games? There is a custom map. Literaly everything is there. Not even gonna mention the custom campaigns specifically The Chosen Ones. To this day the best D&D experience I have ever played. WC3 is peak of gaming. Everything after that is just an extention. 2. I love Dragon Age Origin for its writing. The best writing in the genre by far even comapred to its sequels. 3. Bioshock trilogy is the best FPS by far thanks to its increadible story and plot twists which encompass every sigle game you have ever played as well as the real life. 4. I guess its time for some honorable mentions which include CS 1.6 and Dota 2 as well as the all time classics which took thousands of hours of my time like the Ensembles: Age of Mythology (yes, over the AoE ones); Sid Meiers Civilization too. Divinity Original Sin changed its genre for a time as well. And there is this one indie game called Pyre which is to this day the only game I gave 10/10 raiting.

Mostly ordered by number of hours played: 1) Dota 2 2) Halo 2 3) Heroes of Newerth 4) Diablo 2: LoD 5) Warcraft 3: TFT Some other honorable mentions: Elden Ring, Halo 3, World of Warcraft: BC (when it originally released in Jan 2007), Counter Strike (played all significant versions since 1.6), civ 5, morrowind, skyrim, and some others I'm probably forgetting

Nice selection Grubby, thank you for sharing your experiences with us.

Heroes of Newerth

Anno 1503, EE AoC, C&C Generals, Counterstrike 1.6, HoMM3, Monkey Island 1-3, WOW (TBC), Diablo 2 & Baldurs Gate 2

1. World of Warcraft (Vanilla, TBC, WoTLK) 2. Dota 2 3. Team Fortress 2 4. Warcraft 3 5. Counter Strike / Brood War tied. They were my first online multiplayer games

Honestly gameplay wise I never got into the RTS genre but I have such fond memories watching my older brother play Blizzard games that they're in some sort of top 10 for me. I watched him play the entirety of Starcraft, Brood War, SC2, and Warcraft 3. WC3 was especially interesting for me because it felt the most unique; I used to play Command and Conquer and had a lot of fun with it, but WC3 has the hero units, neutral creeps, items, and more factions than most RTS games that made it stand out the most to me as a kid. Maybe someday I'll try learning how to play an RTS competitively, but whether or not I do WC3 will always have a place in my heart as a timeless classic.

Thanks for the excellent overview! My top 5: 1 - Deus Ex 2 - Freespace 2 3 - Radiant Silvergun 4 - Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance (especially the FAF multiplayer) 5 - Quakeworld

Top 5! 1. Final Fantasy 6 2. Final Fantasy Tactics 3. Diablo 2 4. StarCraft: Brood War 5. Icarus

Top 5 most memorable games for me in no particular order are: Brute Force Total Annihilation: Kingdoms The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth II Age of Wonders II Stronghold

Ranking games is a bit silly for me but I guess if I have to I might put these 5 as my top favorites: Faeria - Turn Based Strategy (great blend of gaming genres) Monster Sanctuary - RPG (lots of choices for party members) MagiCat - Platforming (lots of combat, lots of optional challenges) Saga Frontier - RPG (a good sci-fi game that has several single player campaigns, I recommend the Remastered version) Heroes of the Storm - Multiplayer (memories of characters mixed with quick and fun gameplay) After that it gets harder to add games but I definitely enjoyed a lot: Lightning Returns:FF13 - RPG (if you enjoyed Starcraft's music you might also enjoy this game's music, and the earlier FF13 games also had great music!) Super Mario Maker 2 - Platforming/Creative (the main reason I bought a Nintendo Switch) LeveLHead - Platforming/Creative (a sci-fi version of SMM2, they also do much different from eachother for creative options) Cosmic Star Heroine - RPG (a good sci-fi game that is very unique for turn based combat) Bravely Default 2 - RPG (a fantastic blend of Final Fantasy story tropes and a great set of side quests with many build options, it's like a greatest hits of older FF games) Honestly there are other really good games that arguably deserve to be in top 10, such as: Warcraft 3:TFT / Starcraft:BW - Campaign / Multiplayer (for obvious reasons) Triangle Strategy - Turn Based Strategy (for having a better story than any other RPG I've ever played) Final Fantasy VIII - RPG (for just being great to explore) Threads of Fate / Dewprism (same game) - ARPG (for being years ahead of its time) I wouldn't add Dota 2 or League of Legends because the matchmaking system has always felt corrupted to me. I could replace them with Hearthstone or Shadowverse but let's be honest I don't like those games that much. Instead I'll put in a game for top 15th that I only played for less than 5 hours( I don't want to get addicted to another card game). Creatures of Aether - Cards (it does what FFVIII did for a card game, but much better)

1. Thief TDP 2. Jagged Alliance 2 with 1.13 mod 3. Deus Ex 4. Might and Magic 6-8 (the RPGs not the strategy ones) 5. Broken Sword Not gonna rank BW and SC2 or HoMM3. For me they are in a league of their own.

Awesome that you have HoMaM3 on your top 10 list, a bit sad it's so low on the ranking though. ;) My top 5 Games: 1. Warcraft 3 2. Sekiro 3. Red Dead Redemption 2 4. Heroes of Might and Magic 3 5. World of Warcraft Edit: One game that i'd love for you to try is 'Battle Realms' if you haven't already. One of the great RTS games I played growing up. Love your content Grubby!

1. Ultima Online 2. Track Mania 3. Solder of Fortune Double Helix. 4. Starcraft 2 4. Hearthstone 5. League of Legends 6. D2 7. D3 8. Overwatch 9. Terraria 10. Skyrim

It was a special time when you’d log in and there was a new version of Defense of the Ancients out and you had to download it upon joining the game.

My favourite multiplayer games of all time.(on PC) 1.Dota (1&2) 2. Counter-strike (1,3) 3.Aoe(1&2) 4.Warcraft 3 Frozen Throne 5. Star Wars Jk: Jedi Academy 6. Mordhau 7.Command and Conquer Red Alert 8. Settlers (1-4) 9.Knights and merchants

Viper should do the same thing ! Fun concept.

Ok, here's the list. Skipped W3 for a reason - is well knowned on this channel. Those 5 games would be maybe not my best, but every one of them has a special reason to be presented. Here we go: 5. The Chronicles of Myrthana: Archolos - today I'm not that big Gothic fan, but this is an example, how fan-maded content can surpass oryginal. App. 110 h of playing, made by hearth from fandom for fandom. 4. Heroes of Might and Magic 2 - probably 3 is better, but this one's role of building my love not only for games but for fantasy as well. Atmosphere of the game was just one word: 'MAGIC'. 3. Dark Forcess 2: Jedi Knight - in the childhood, this game was that same canon and importance for me like the Old Trilogy of Star Wars. Kyle Katarn was hero like Luke, Jerec dangerous enemy like Vader. When I replayed two years ago realized, how they felt the climat of Star Wars, and how they tried to do something interesting with FPS. Climat of agent in space, ventilation shafts sneaking, secret bases, star ships. Small resources and big dreams. 2. Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction - first time I saw the game, early 2000's and reaction was "OMG, the graphics is like real life!". :D Today unbelievable, but the climat, clarity, dynamic, design of monsters, weapons, magic, it kept my soul and is immortal even today (still can practice hardcore mode on single). 1. Planescape: Torment - if any game changed myself, it would be definitely that one. Storytelling masterpiece. In final moments You can realize how every part of game was one puzzle in the bigger picture. Game forcing You to face moral and existential questions about Your nature. I'm kind of evangelist of this game, feel obligated to presented, why should be more legendary than it's cousin - Baldur's Gate :) May the games magic be with us all!

This one is tough... I don't think anything except Dota 1x6 are really massive jumps in my enjoyment of the game. My biggest metric is replayability value. 1. Dota 1x6 (Dota arcade mode) 2. Fallout: New Vegas (with modding) 3. Darkest Dungeon (soon to be modded after I beat the game on hardest difficulty) 4. FTL (with modding) 5. Baldur's Gate 3 (when I get back into it, probably going to mod it too) You can probably tell I really enjoy modded games and just user content in general xD I may soon get into Darkest Dungeon mods also such as Black Reliquary but I just want to complete the vanilla game on hardest difficulty first. I can't really put BG3 here with the most confidence since I am waiting for an enhanced edition to get back into playing it as I have only gone through Act 1 and most of Act 2 and have yet to touch Act 3 but I know its got that same Fallout: New Vegas vibe. BG3 also is going to soon have a map editor, more modding support so the well of enjoyment to get out of that game is endless. Maybe if Hearthstone did not try to suck the player of all their time or force them to use microtransactions to play the game I would put it at 5 which may make it the only non-moddable game on here. Or maybe The Binding of Isaac which also has modding support.

First of all, thank you for all these years of great moments! So, the list: 1. Magic: The Gathering 2. Warcraft III Frozen Throne 3. Dota 2 (I don't play anymore, same motive) 4. Guild Wars 2 (BEST community ever of everything by muuuuch far, you should really try) 5. Tibia (I don't play anymore, same of Dota 2 plus the decisions made by Cipsoft) 6. Chess There is no other games that make me feel like these ones.

1# World of Warcraft - Before this WcIII was on number one. I was super caught in the lore at this time i couldnt believ my eyes making my first steps in Azeroth. Later i got into progress raiding which was the second enlightment and the third was mythic+. In Addition the pet system in WoW was the better Pokemon in my Opinion which was also a lot of fun. There is just so much to do in this game its crazy. #2 Warcraft III tft - I play ladder from time to time but what really caught me is the campaign and of course the custom scene. At the moment this is the only game iam still playing. Sometimes i scroll through the custom lobbys and cant believe that i still find new and exiting mods i havent played yet. Btw you mentioned unit voicelines, i remembering times when you click one or two times more than necessary on a unit , hearing a line you never heard before ... its just a small detail that shows the love and dedication went into this game #3 Halo 1 - first shooter and first non-handheld game i ever played. Fantastic story and also a super cool custom mod scene and the first time i played online against other real people.I remembering snkeaking to my neighbour to play this over and over because i was like 11 or 12 back than ^^ #4 Pokemon Heart Gold - after playing the earlier Pokemons on Gameboy Calour this blew me away. I spent so much time in this game to fill the Pokedex. I had no Internet back than and therefore the secrets in this game were really secrets. #5 Diablo III RoS -its the same story evrytime a season starts, level up kill bad demons repeat. Sounds fucking boring but it is so fucking enjoyable to slice throught endless amounts of monsters over and over. Havent found any other Hack and Slay that transports this felling , including Diablo 4.

Very RTS and high fantasy heavy! Mine is: 1. SC2 2. Metal gear solid 2 3. Hollow Knight 4. WC3 5. Half Life 6. Final Fantasy X 7. DOOM Eternal 8. Silent Hill 3 9. Nier Automata 10. Last of Us 1 Would also put Devil may cry and bioshock as honorable mention

Will keep the list to strategies. 1. Heroes of M&M IV (all of it) 2. Dota (Warcraft 3 versions 6.x, Icefrog) 3. Red Alert 3 (& Uprising) 4. Heroes of M&M III (specially Chronicles) 5. Rise of Nations (original) 6. Red Alert 2 (Yuri exp., mods like Reborn) 7. Age of Empires 2 (Forgotten Empires fave and before, latest editions created too weird nation perks) 8. Age of Mythology (original) 9. Warcraft 3 TFT & ROC (Countless legendary custom maps, melee, never really liked the upkeep mechanic, but I respected the challenge it brought to the RTS genre ... is actually place 2 just for Dota but this is the only game I respect so much that it deserves an additional place on this list alongside one of it's maps) 10. Warlords Battlecry 1-3 (if you or anyone else loved the HoMM music and ambient overall, you should at least like this one as well) My first Blizz experience in strategies was Warcraft 3, so I could never find much love for the previous instalments and Starcraft as they felt like a downgrade. Honorable mentions - Anno 1602 (one of the most relaxing experiences) - Emperor Rise of the Middle Kingdom (short and fun, liked the ambient) - Dungeon Keeper 2 (fun, great thematic design, think it will remain an evergreen in that regard) - Army Men (great campaign and theme is on point) - Dark Planet: Battle for Natrolis (had some frame rate issues, other than that I loved it, 3 races fantasy RTS) - C&C Generals (regular and even more so Zero Hour) - Heroes of Newerth (if Icefrog didn't leave ... where would it be ...) - Dota 2 (probably something better than this :P) P.S. I love Valve games: Half Life series, CStrike, Team Fortress 1 and 2, Portal, L4Dead, numerous others, love Dota 2 as well, just feel like it could've been better with a bit of a different approach ... wish Gabe could learn how to count to three but that's a whole other story (edited: cos I forgot about Rise of Nations)

1. Starcraft 2. WoW 3. Zelda:OoT 4. Final Fantasy 7 5. WC3/DotA 6. Final Fantasy 14 7. Final Fantasy 10 8. Elden Ring 9. The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion 10. Mount and Blade: Warband

1. Space rangers: a war apart 2. Mass effect series 3. Dota 2 4. Starcraft II 5. Gothic 1-2

Gothic 1, the mother of all current RPGs went through the development hell to deliver a masterpiece.

1. Factorio 2. Ratropolis (a mix of Slay the Spire and Kingdom, but more fun in my opinion) 3. RimWorld 4. Hearthstone 5. CrossCode (among many indie adventures this one has exceptional quality and storyline) 6. Crimsonland 7. Morrowind 8. Silent Hill 2 9. Renowned Explorers: International Society (the only game I'm aware of where speaking friendly to the enemy and convincing them is a part battle mechanics) 10. Age of Wonders 1 (I like the first part the most, it does not have 4X strategy elements, but has the most focus on individual units in the series) Close to the top: Dungeon Keeper 2, Terraria, UFO: Enemy Unknown (original game from 1994), WarCraft 2 (I didn't learn how to play it properly, but still like it), Perimeter (quite obscure and unconventional RTS).

Great list Grubby! I absolutely second your take on AoW:planetfall, such a deep, strategic and tactical game that probably only suffers from a lack of popularity, just because it doesn't feature the classic fantasy setting of the original series. As for the Heroes of M&M series, yeah, I'm one of those guys claiming that 5 is the best, even though I consider part 3 to be a close second. I recently picked up Warcraft3 again and having a lot of fun with it, although my personal top 5 would be *1. Hearts of Iron 4 *2. Civilization 6 *3. Hearthstone (mostly Battlegrounds) *4. Nova Drift 5. Supreme Commander Forged Alliance

My list: 1. Dota 2 2. TES 3 Morrowind 3. Heroes 3 4. Starcraft Broodwar 5. Slay the Spire Of course, it's hard to make such a list, and there are many, many games that could've made the list.

1. Warcaft 3 2. Super Smash Bros Melee 3. Halo 2 4. Diablo 2 5. Starcraft 2 6. Terraria 7. Dota 2 8. Noita 9. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker 10. Ninja Gaiden Black

My top 5 ever: 1 - SC2 2 - Ark Survival Evolved 3 - Warcraft 3 4 - Skyrim 5 - GTA V

I'm a simple man..I see Heroes of Might and Magic....I click.

I have a really hard time creating a top 10 list and not a top 80 list or something, but if I had to, then my 10 favourite games: 1.) Fallout 2 2.) Warcraft III (Mainly the World Editor and custom games) 3.) Heroes of the Storm 4.) Quake 5.) Imperium Galactica II 6.) Mass Effect 7.) Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Forever 8.) World of Warcraft 9.) Warcraft II 10.) Civilization IV (Modded) 10.) Starcraft: BW 10.) Diablo: Hellfire 10.) Heroes of Might and Magic III 10.) Dungeon Keeper 10.) Command & Conquer: Red Alert No matter how you look at it, this is a top 10 list! ...Yeah, I ended up cheating.

#1: Warcraft 3 - even though I was never good at ladder, I spent thousands of hours on custom games and there are still more to be discovered. My top custom games are castle fight, farm TD, pokemon legends, vamp zero, orcs vs elves, masin RPG, enfo's TS:MT, run kitty run, wintermaul reforged.. I could go on and on probably :D #2: Diablo 2 LoD, nowadays made even better in project diablo 2. #3: World of Warcraft vanilla and TBC.. But it can't be played now, except fringe private servers like turtle wow, because blizzard doesn't moderate the game anymore #4: Terraria #5: Minecraft

1) Red alert 2 2) Seven Kingdoms 2 3) Warcraft 2 and 3 4) Starcraft 1 and 2 5) Tiberium Sun

1. Warcraft 3 2. Titanfall 2 3. Skyrim 4. Rome: Total War 5. Age of Mythology 6. Call of Duty Black Ops 2 7. Zoo Tycoon 2 8. Dungeon Seige 9. Fable The Lost Chapters 10. Doom Eternal Honorable mentions: Elden Ring, Age of Empires 4, Starcraft 1, Destiny 1, Minecraft, portal 2, half-life 2 Good list grubby, thanks for the video

Actually I was very surprised by: - HS top3 - Dota top2 - No SC2 - No RoC

I always have a hard time comparing video games to board/card games unless they have some notable similarities, like comparing Slay the Spire to Ascension. Video Games 1) Hades 2) Slay the Spire 3) Sekiro 4) Bloodborne 5) XCOM 2 6) Elden Ring Board/Card Games 1) BattleCON 2) Mage Wars 3) Race for the Galaxy 4) Mage Knight 5) Marvel Champions Honorable mention: Puzzle Strike

1. Dota 2 2. Slay the Spire 3. Hades 4. Minecraft 5. Rollercoaster Tycoon 2 4 and 5 are mostly childhood nostalgia, but it still feels great revisiting them from time to time

5 - No Man's Sky 4 - TES 3: Morrowind 3 - UnderRail 2 - GTA: Vice City 1 - Warcraft 3 roc/tft

Warcraft 3 is Grubby's favorite game? No way, didn't see that one coming ;D

1. Path of Exile - simply best game ever made 2. Civilization 5 - the only turned based strategy I played and it makes a solid top 2 3. Dark Souls - the most well crafted world design, satisfying and challenging combat, immersive world and underlying philosophy that intertwines with the gameplay in a one-of-a-kind fashion 4. Skyrim - one of the most immersive worlds out there. Great replayability, hilarious bugs, greatest modding community 5. Rimworld HSK - no, not vanilla, but the modpack that changes the game to the core. Depth and complexity, endless variety of situations and problems, customization of experience, simply amazing Honorable mentions: Crysis, CoD MW2, Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, Starcraft 2, TrackMania SE & NF, NFS Carbon & MW, Mount and Blade: Warband, Warframe, Factorio

1 - Super Smash Bros 64 (any of them really) 2 - Heroes of the Storm (HOTS) 3 - World of Warcraft 4 - Team Fortress 2 5 - Heroes of Might and Magic 4 6 - Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour 7 - Need for Speed Underground 2 8 - Tony Hawk Pro Skater 9 - Pokemon Blue (gameboy color) 10 - P.N. 03 Honorable mentions: Halo, Super monkey ball, Pokemon Stadium, Warcraft 3, Starcraft 2, James Bond, Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Elden Ring

love the "Populous II Disk Whisperer" story; I feel like I did something similar on one of my games to make it work through some combination of digital AND physical manipulation, can't remember which one though

I can't decide how would I rank my favorite games so I will throw some of the most memorable and impactful games that I have played chronologically. Tetris, Red Alert 1(PC), Warhammer: Dark Omen(PS1) Mario Kart(N64), Goldeneye(N64), FIFA 98 RTWC(PC), StarCraft: Brood War, Heroes of M&M 3, Fallout 1 Warcraft 3:TFT, Half-Life, Counterstrike, Diablo 2, StarWars: KOTOR, World of Warcraft:TBC League of Legends, Hearthstone, Civilization 5

1. Against the storm 2. DotA2 3. Dragon Age : Origins 4. Anno 1404 5. Sunless Skies

I had really fond memories of WC3 and Heroes of Might and Magic too with my brother. We had only one computer to share, and we were both young and stupid and without internet, so we ends up alternating between turns (for HMM) and between games versus AI (for WC3). And on TV we always have gaming channels replaying WC3 so despite not being able to plays as much, we kinda grew up with WC3. Though, if I had to choose one game for the nostalgia game pick, it'll had to be Counter Strike. Really wish I had chance to enjoy SC2... but when SC2:WoL was out, my PC is so bad that whenever I get to 150 pop or more the game framerate drops to single digits when Im lucky, worse case it could freeze for a whole minute..... single player is bearable, but there's no way I could do PVP. And so by the time I got a good PC, I already moved on from SC2...

GREAT LIST! Had some good overlap with your gaming experiences. You definitely need to add Darkest Dungeon to your list of games to play in the future. And if you’ve never played Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, or Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic the original, you definitely should take a look as well. And Freelancer which is a a gem, not often enough spoken about. All great story telling games. And a new game I loved, Rebels Inc. Escalation, is also definitely worth a look. Big fan. Keep up the entertainment work. You’re a cool guy. Truly. P.S. Have you ever played Dungeon Keeper? The original and second game? As far as strategy goes, it was such a unique experience back in the day. Age of Mythology?

5 - Guity Gear XX Accent Core Plus R 4 - Monster Hunter World 3 - Batman Arkham City 2 - Dota 2 1 - Melty Blood Actress Again Current Code

Favorite games are Xenogears, Starcraft 1, Deus Ex, FFVII. I consider Starcraft 1 the greatest video game ever made. Heroes like Tassadar were friggin' heroic and when they spoke, you listened. Same with Zeratul. Even the villains. Kerrigan was kinda cheesy sure, but Duran and the Overmind...chills. You got to play as legitimate bad guys who weren't just "misunderstood." It's one where you stayed up late reading the booklet that came in the box. You read about this thing called the ultralisk, and you had to have it. Then you read about the carrier...and you were like, "It's the big ship of the strongest race and it can't attack?" But after you saw multiple carriers in action...your life changed. In time, you didn't need cheat codes to beat the campaign, and you noticed something: twenty siege tanks making an impassable zone of exploding death is even more fun than carriers. Best personality too.

Hey Grubby, a game I’d really love to see you play is an old ps2 game that’s since been re-released on steam called ‘Army Men RTS’. This was the first game my parents ever bought for me and to say I played it religiously would be an understatement. Given your experience with strategy games, I’d really love to hear your thoughts on a game that essentially defined my childhood!

Loved it! Top 5 games is hard, but without putting too much thought into it, here goes, in no particular order: Tibia, Heroes of the Storm, Faeria, Dota Underlords

3:05 I had the same thing happened to my original Starcraft vanilla disc, had to put the disc, check how its loading if it stutter I had to get it back, clean it, etc

#1 OldSchool RuneScape #2 Dota #3 Roller Coster Tycoon #4 Loop Hero #5 Among us Honorable mention: Towerfall Ascention when played with friends or family together on the spot. Also favourite game/e-sport to watch: StarCraft II

World in Conflict is a RTS/RT-Tactics Masterpiece that everybody should try, even though its about 15 years old now. It aged great and has one of the best campaigns and a great multiplayer (that sadly just works on low pop community servers now)
