You probably know the format. What game series would you take if you were stranded on a desert island? Lets say up to 3 maximum. Doesnt have to be just on PC, you'll be able to take whatever other hardware necessary to run the games you choose. Flight sticks, wheels, CRT TV's and consoles, Gamer beds, feel free.
Different to what are your favourite games, as they have to be as replayable as possible to last the rest of your days, multiplayer is not possible because you have no internet of course. You can however take as many mods for the games you want with you to install and use whenever you want.
1. Total War
Starting with Shogun and all the way up to Warhammer 3. I only really played Shogun, and a touch of Empire before Warhammer came along, it would be fun to revisit them, and Three Kingdoms and Troy looked interesting.. But the real reason I want this series is TW Warhammer.
I don't own the third game yet, but I played a lot of the first two. Once you're done with the base games and unique race campaigns, the Immortal Empires (which fortunately released fully patched and balanced just before I was stranded) campaign is going to be huge. A quick search tells me there are 22 unique races across the 3 games and DLC's so far, all of which have unique mechanics. There must be thousands of hours of fun stuff to work through in Immortal Empires alone, on top of the Old World, Vortex and whatever the 3rd games story campaigns are called for each faction.
There's also a ton of total conversion Middle Earth/Song of Ice and Fire amongst other mods for some of the older games that would be great to get into.
2. (Dark) Souls. (I know, I know)
Once you've been bitten then they've got you, though you do have to hold your arm in its mouth and poke it for a fair while before it does. But asides from the base games and DLC's which add a ton of content, there are quite a lot of mods that change the campaigns up across the series that I havent tried. With no time constraints I'd probably just go through everything in all the games and mods, there are also a ton of weapons/spells to try out that are almost all viable to use right through the end game with upgrades in each game. I also get Elden Ring, Demons Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro because I said so.
Leaving my third slot open so I can mull it over, and maybe just steal someone else's idea instead.
What series are you taking to keep you busy?
