Notes:

An asterisk (*) denotes modded variants and installs.

As must be noted, this is a personal list. Your own experience will certainly vary when playing these titles.

Some titles have been grouped together for the following reasons:

a) They are either literally or essentially different iterations of the same game.
b) They are not similar on the surface, but throughout my time playing them, I have found them to share an underlying common theme (e.g. shared engine or gameplay patterns), and thus I personally consider them to be functionally identical for my own purposes.

When ranking a game, these are my preferred criteria, in no particular order:

i) Moddability
ii) Aesthetics (i.e., art style)
iii) Graphical fidelity (not the same as aesthetics)
iv) Replayability
v) Stimuli (i.e., how consistently engaging is the gameplay?)
vi) Immersion and lore (e.g., allusion to real-world mythology, fantasy, history, literature etc.)
vii) Multiplayer
viii) Variety, synergy of game-modes and genres
ix) Amount of time necessary to spend (or already invested) in game
x) Nostalgia
xi) Customizability and "permanence" (i.e., can I build something in the game to call my own, and have it last?)
