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 :)

    Can I mod them? Because if so

    • minecraft
    • skyrim
    • terraria
    • dark souls 2
    • hollowknight (so i can finally get those speedrun achievements)

    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.

    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: Java Edition

    Universe Sandbox²

    Subnautica (never played it, but heard it’s fun so I might like playing it in a desert island surrounded by ocean)

    Deltarune (I’d have all the time in the world to wait for the next chapters)

    ENA: Dream BBQ (same as above)

    Probably something like this:

    • Slay the Spire with mods
    • Kerbal Space Program with mods
    • Trackmania 2020 with all maps from Trackmania Exchange downloaded
    • Path of Exile
    • Cities: Skylines or Planet Zoo (with mods)

    I’d also like to bring Factorio (with mods of course) but I’m not sure what to replace
