Bluedy: Mortal Kombat, Gothic, Left 4 Dead

You slick sonofabitch! You're mostly correct. While I REALLY like Mortal Kombat, I dont consider it a favourite. So let's start with a game that could take it's place. And that is Morrowind. My first TES game was Oblivion and it was the game that made me fall in love with the TES series. I still have the save from my very FIRST playthrough! But Morrowind was harder to get into. While I loved it's theme, the soundtrack, graphics, etc. It's just a really hard game to get into. It's stands as the first and only game so far which I actually struggled to get into and sucessfully did after numerous attempts at getting angry/ bored of it. But after that, it stands as my FAVOURITE GAME OF ALL TIME. It's simply a game that was with me when I was most depressed.
Another game is Gothic, yes. As with Morrowind, I love the atmosphere which is..well.. gothic. Really good soundtrack aswell by charismatic Kai Rosenkranz. That's the thing with these games, I played them on my low end laptop because I couldn't play any of the new games, but that didnt bother me because the style/atmosphere is what made me fall in love with them the most. I now have a high end PC capable of playing GTA 5 on max settings and these games are still the ones I play the most. Gothic, like Morrowind, has a solid atmosphere with solid soundtrack and solid gameplay!
Last but not least is Left 4 Dead which is mostly a game from my childhood (Can you believe it's been almost 10 years since it released?!). Well, Left 4 Dead 2. While I was half terrified every time I played the game because the atmosphere is SO WELL DONE, and the zombies were so SCARY, I kept playing it! I was terrified whenever a Tank would approach and everytime I'd see a witch crying in the distance. It's just a good game, so good that even if it scared 10 year old me, it kept me hooked!
Some honorable mentions are: Risen, which I actually played wayy before Gothic and wasted several hours in back even before the left 4 dead days. It's actually one of the most important games that helped me learn english! Heroes 3 is my favourite strategy game and probably will be my favourite strategy game because of the good visuals and soundtrack and unique gameplay. Yu-Gi-Oh Power of Chaos because I love Yu Gi Oh and it's my favourite card game...aaand...
well, one last game that I also spent countless hours on as a child: Dink Smallwood! The graphics are unique and the sound design too, which give the game a kind of, late 90's, eerie (but not in a scary way) vibe which really attracted me. And yes, the soundtrack is mostly classical songs turned into midi, but that didn't stop me from listening to it on youtube while I was doing my homework in primary school.
