My favourite games have been (still are?)
The first Far Cry, enjoyed the first two Crysis, Dying Light, all of Deus Ex except for the 2nd one which I thought was garbage, Defence Grid 1 and 2, all of Half Life, Caesar 2 and 3 and Cleopatra, Just Cause 2 and 3 not 4, the earlier Serious Sams, SOMA is/was f*cking brilliant should be played knowing nothing about it can't play it again, all of the STALKERS though somewhat dated now, Thief 2, Tower of Guns, I enjoyed Wofensteins at the time I don't think I can play them again, I kinda liked the Talos Principle but I didn't complete it became not worth the effort, Watch Dogs 2 I played a couple of times I didn't think 3 brought anything new to the table what so ever, Metro with the first being my favourite, Borderlands but I haven't played the last one won't go there, Dead Cells, the first Dead Space was brilliant, oh man the the first Bioshock was a masterpiece, the second one good but not great, Dishonored 1 and 2 was enjoyable, Bulletstorm was a surprise I've play 3 or 4 times, the first Max Payne was fantastic and I'm going to stop here.
Thanks, that was a nice reminisce.
Thanks for reading.

There’s some overlap with the games I enjoy there, enough that there are a few games I can probably recommend.
For Half Life:
Have you tried Black Mesa? Really good remake of HL1 in HL2 engine. Xen especially is much improved.
HL: Alyx is absolutely staggeringly good, but VR makes it expensive. Still absolutely worth it, it’s like nothing I’ve ever experienced.
The portal games are worth it too, same universe, portal 1 is short and sweet, and portal 2 adds quite a bit of lore/backstory.
Based on some of the FPS/horror titles:
Control is very good so far, I’m about 1/3 the way through. Check out a video review, it’s hard to describe the atmosphere.
A bit more in the RPG direction, but highly recommended: Horizon Zero Dawn. Good combat mechanics, excellent characters and acting, post apocalyptic setting, and robot dinosaurs.
I’ve heard very good things about Jedi: fallen order but haven’t gotten to it yet.
