I always somehow find my way back to playing No Man’s Sky. No matter what I do, game I play, activity inside or outside of gaming, NMS is always there to play and chill. Sometimes I go on creative and spend a week amassing the perfect color coordinated team of ships, crew, frigates, and freighter.

I was going to say Assassin’s Creed Valhalla until I saw that the question ends with “because it’s the perfect game”
Valhalla is a deeply flawed game that I honestly sort of hated in that first year but I just keep finding myself playing it again every once in a while. Partly because the game is so goddamned long and my original save file got corrupted so I technically have never even finished the game once, but there’s honestly some really good components hidden in the bloat and poor decision making that bog the game down. Sort of like the Amazing Spider-Man 2
I still have yet to do a Valhalla playthrough, but I plan on doing the entire AC series (minus 1) next year. First is rachet and clank, then spiderman, then God of War, then assassins creed. Next year boust to be lit.
I’d actually recommend AC1, so long as you’re down to focus on the dialogue and don’t mind a relatively repetitive (but highly polished) gameplay loop.
It’s definitely the most philosophical game in the franchise and personally that makes it the most interesting, even if the philosophy present is relatively simple. But yeah that’s a solid backlog
I do not have access to it anymore. Purged my game collection to pay bills. Right now I have ps+ fir the year as a Christmas gift.
