Assassin’s Creed 2. Loved the characters, the story, the beautiful setting, the riddles… Yeah, the Parkour was frustrating sometimes, but man… what an awesome game. It’s one of those games I will never touch again, because I want to remember it the way I do.
Fist fighting the Pope is definitely in my top 10 gaming moments
Elden Ring. Hands down.
In Elden ring I explored every fucking inch of the world hoping to see something new.
This is, imo, the best game ever made.
People say that the breath in the wild rewarded exploration but the game felt soullless and empty to me. Oh, another fucking Kurok seed, oh great, a fucking puzzle. I never came across anything interesting.
In ER I was obsessed with the lore, loved the combat, I felt like there was something new around every corner I wanted to see. It was fucking magical.
I couldn’t go back to BotW after Elden Ring.
In both games you have a vast world to explore. You see something in the distance, and it turns out it’s actually a place you can go to, which is such a cool feeling. You’re rewarded for every path you go down.
In Elden Ring you’re rewarded with some weird new scroll or a weapon that even if you won’t use it, you can totally see why it’s unique and cool in its own way.
But in Breath of the Wild you’re rewarded with a shrine that gives you nothing or another fucking Korok seed. And also while you were exploring your weapon broke.

Myst! An oldie, but I had basically done this when the remastered version came out a few years ago and it was still a 10/10.
I keep trying Myst. First tried it when I was about 5 on my dad’s PC, some 30 years ago. Every few years I’ll give it another shot, spend a couple of hours before giving up. I like to think I’m good at puzzle games, and Myst has such legendary status that I refuse to look at a single hint. I will solve it off my own back. Its like a mini white whale.
My problem is I havent managed to solve a single puzzle yet. I cant even be sure ive identified where the first puzzle is.
As a puzzle game, Myst is usually cited as an example of what not to do. It was popular at the time for showing what CD-ROMs could do. Wonderful visuals, and I like the lore.
I heard a good way to judge a good puzzle in a game. When you struggled through it and figure it out, you say to yourself “I should have seen the solution sooner”. You shouldn’t feel like it wasted your time by being obtuse.
Myst puzzles feel obtuse all the time. Especially that damn tree combination puzzle.
oh yea it’s rough, probably especially in the beginning
Can’t believe nobody mentioned Last of US.
Final Fantasy 7 Chronotrigger Secret of Mana
The last of us or bioshock infinite
Chants of Sennaar, Rain World, Celeste
Either Battletoads or Out of this World!
100% with you on Out of this World!
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Because I’m halfway through it right now, and I think it’d be really funny if I started the game “for the first time” only to find that 1. there was already a save, 2. named what I name him, 3. with 12 hearts, and 4. on a Wii used only by me.
Pong or Tetris.
System Shock 2 is in my top 3 games of all time.
Skyrim, Portal 2, Slime Rancher, or the first Deus Ex.
Bioshock, Dark Souls 3, and Cyberpunk 2077
I wish I could know everything about building and strategy with cyberpunk and play it with all the bells and whistles now without knowing the story. I actually have a few endings left to do.
Probably World of Warcraft. That’s a couple thousand hours in total as I played on and off on private servers throughout the years from 2006-2012, plus a brief stint with BfA.
Actually, no, I’d rather not forget how I saw the game evolve, even if my experience wasn’t the ideal one.
Thomas Was Alone, The Fall, Rumu, To The Moon, Stanley’s Parable, Toem, Primordia, Turing Test, The Entropy Centre, Subnautica, Bioshock 2, Portal 1/2.
Though honestly any game with good story would probably count here.
Persona 5 Royal
To the moon! The game was so emotional.
Splintercell Chaos Theory.
Good lord…
God damn it, Fisher!
Ninja Gaiden NES. I only have good memories from that game. When Super Mario Bros was the baseline, Ninja Gaiden was incredible. I played so much I could finish it on demand with barely any slips.
Syberia
Surprised no one mentioned it
hypnospace outlaw without question
I love these kings of threads because there’s always some unknown to me gem in there. I had never heard of this game, but your comment and the glowing reviews have me sold and excited to go check it out. Thank you, kind internet stranger.
I got SO FAR through it and somehow lost my cloud saves after a hiatus so…I guess I am gonna have to experience it for the first time again!
It can be a little tedious in long stretches, but I absolutely loved how this game took us back to those fun quirky self-expressive days of the Internet.
Stand with Gooper!
World of Warcraft
Adastra.
Her Story. www.herstorygame.com
Celeste is a good contender, Hades II as well.
final fantasy X
The non retrogaming answer is something like nomans sky where the game got better after release. But I dont wanna forget any of the old games I played and lose the memories that make me love them.

Spec Ops: The Line
“Do you feel like a hero yet?”
Also Starcraft: Brood War, Shadow Watch, and, yah, Morrowind. I took over an entire house in Balmora to serve as a treasure room. Then hit the max item limit and had to re-place everything by hand while also taking over another house.

Never been in the military but after the prologue I assumed any sane recon squad lead would radio the HQ and ask for advice instead of ‘getting to the bottom of this’

And every horror movie should be ten minutes long and end with the kids taking one look at the spooky cabin, getting back in the car and driving back to their dorm.
