Homeworld
Binding of Isaac
Ballistic.NG
Elite Dangerous
Silksong
I feel like this list encapsulates the best of their respective genres.
Homeworld’s mechanics are excellent, as is the art direction, sound design, and story.
There are roguelikes I enjoy playing more than Isaac, but I think it’s breadth, theme, and messaging make it the best pick.
Ballistic.NG is the only racing game that always gives you room to grow without becoming played out, to me.
Elite literally has the whole galaxy to explore, and like Ballistic.NG it has a very rewarding skill curve.
Silksong is a work of art; a Metroidvania so sprawling in its ambition, flawless in its execution, and so punishing in its difficulty that a game-starved society would surely come to view it as a scripture of sorts.
I agree with Elite but I also want to point out it gets real boring in the end unless you enjoy “sitting and waiting simulator.”
I admittedly for 400+ hours out of it, but that was with VR and family playing alongside. I don’t know that I could ever get back into it these days unless something major changed.
I’ve been playing it for 10 years off and on with no VR. It is very slow paced but I take that as a pro and not a con. In my opinion it makes sense that flying between bodies takes time.
Hey I’m not disagreeing, I just really wish they’d add something fast paced to do between the slow, that would draw me back in. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
