My all time favorite game was Thief. I played some multiplayer games later, but felt like a rat in a maze.
I cant say for sure what attracted me to GTA initially, but I derive great pleasure from pissing other players off. This includes not only becoming the rabbit, but employing asymmetric techniques to gameplay when faced with others who equate “courage” to an online game where winning or losing is based on stats.
Based on the voice messages from disgruntled players having been roundly defeated, the game is populated by a large cabal of adult libs.

Some of which are, unfortunately, hackers...making online gameplay risky business these days.
Watched my kid play all the way through SuperHot.
THAT GAME is innovative. It’s a pure FPS, but with a massive twist.
Of all the games I’ve seen in the last decade, SuperHot is the most innovative and fun game. I include in that list Portal (which was awesome) and Super Meat Boy.
