If you were going to be stranded on a desert island, and for some reason you could bring 5 video games with their required hardware and means to power them, what would they be? No compilations or online multiplayer if you want to be a purist about it, but I’m still interested if you have thoughts about them :)

    Those would be the extremely moddable games with a good all around base set for replayability, so for me:

    • Rimworld
    • Mount&Blade bannerlord
    • Crusader Kings 3
    • Civ 6
    • Luanti (and if have to choose a single game for it, Mineclonia I suppose)

    As long as I can also archive some amount and variety of mods for each, of course.

    If mods aren’t on the table, I think it would still look pretty much the same, except maybe civ 5 in place of 6, and in place of luanti perhaps Witcher 3, or 4 if it manages to release before this thing.

    Edit: Actually hold that a bit: I need Stellaris there, especially if mods are ok. But even without. I’d skip luanti/witcher for that.

    Minecraft as a reference guide for how to survive on said island.

    Animal Crossing so I have someone to talk to.

    Elden Ring to remind me how bleak and hopeless everything is.

    Solitaire and Minesweeper. In case I get bored.

    • Silent Hu ter 3

    • Mass Effect Legendary edition. (Yes you said no compilations, so if I have to choose one it would of course be 2)

    • Rimworld

    • Kerbal Space Program (with a USB stick full of mods that I smuggled in up my butt)

    • Fallout 4 (with a second USB stick full of mods smuggled in up my butt)

    Why didn’t I put them on the same USB stick? You’re guess is as good as mine…
