Have you got a 'forever game'? (feddit.uk)

As their name suggests, forever (or evergreen) games are games that don’t have a finale or culmination, as in “The End”. These games have a very high replayability factor (meaning we enjoy playing them over and over again).

Forever games are also timeless. We can pick up these games anytime , be it the day they were released, or a few years later, and play them for months or years. We can even stop playing for a while, pick them up again years later, and they’d still be fun and relevant.

Civilization V is it for me I think. Very cozy, very comfortable. Not playing on the highest difficulty, just playing fun civs with half the brain turned off. Like solitaire.

I also have a save file of Football Manager 2017 that I still come back to now and then. That save got me through some rough times back in 2017 and I played it super intensely then. Formed some strong emotional attachment to some of those pixels.

These days I don't really play it but I have a hard time letting it go. Sometimes I fire it up and just browse through the menus a bit and then quit. Like checking in with some old friends. It's really a testament to how unhealthily obsessed I was for a while there, I guess.

I think mine is probably Rocket League. I've been playing it since day one back in 2014. Multiple console generations and platforms, thousands of hours playing solo and with my brothers. It's been nearly ten years and I'm still putting in 3-4 hours a week, every week.

Rocket League has burrowed its way so deep into my mind that I unconsciously perceive the aesthetics of football to be a rip off of Rocket League but with tiny balls and no rocket cars.
