Comment on If you could play one game for the first time all over again, what would it be?

Earthbound. Even on my subsequent yearly-ish playthroughs, it’s so easy to get immersed into the beautiful quirkiness of the world.

Came here to say this one. It’s been ~30 years and there still isn’t another game that quite hits in the same way. The perfect combination of jrpg, weirdness, emotion, humor, horror/dread, and lightheartedness. Earthbound has it all.

I'm reading the book about Satoru Iwata and in it he talks about Earthbound and says (hardcore paraphrasing) that Earthbound on the surface has a lot of regular RPG conventions, but through a combination of its non gameplay aspects it becomes something incredibly unique that even today has very few comparisons.
