So - where to begin. Let’s talk RPGs first. Fallout 1 and 2 are literally my favourite games of all time, with witty dialogue, satisfying turn-based isometric combat and a postapocalyptic setting that spawned tons of sequels - some great, some not so great. Fallout Tactics is a non-canon spinoff that’s still well worth playing, with an option for real-time combat and a more streamlined storyline, whileFallout 3and New Vegas showed that the leap to a first-person perspective in a 3D game world could work wonders. If you’re a fan of the series but haven’t played some of these titles, at a couple of quid apiece they’re well worth picking up.

For something a little more recent, I’ve had a great time with the recent Wolfenstein releases. The New Order and The New Colossus are absolutely fantastic reimaginings of the older games, with a gripping alternative future setting, over-the-top weaponry and precisely the right amount of ridiculous plot points to keep things interesting (yup, I’m thinking aboutthatmoment in The New Colossus… amazing scene).

I could go into a heartfelt reminiscence about pretty much every title on this list, but no one wants to read that, so I’ll just briefly say that Quake 2, The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind and Dishonored 1 and 2 are all well worth playing if you somehow missed them at the time.
