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
Either Battletoads or Out of this World!
100% with you on Out of this World!
World of Warcraft
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Okay, now that I have thought about it, I have realized it Has to be a game that fits the following bullet points:
• Isn’t part of a franchise I’ve played multiple games in. That would ruin my first time experience playing a sequel or plenty of games in a series.
• Not something someone I watch online makes content on.
So I’m thinking a good answer for me would absolutely be a game like SuperTuxKart. It’s its own individual thing and I don’t really watch channels that play it. It’s the prefect candidate for me that I would absolutely love to pick up for the first time. Especially since the 1.5 update ( if it’s out already ).
Her Story. www.herstorygame.com
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.
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!
Pong or Tetris.
System Shock 2 is in my top 3 games of all time.
Love…
Celeste is a good contender, Hades II as well.
final fantasy X
Adastra.
In terms of modern games, both of the Last of Us games and Alien: Isolation. I’m sure there’s loads of old games but my memory is awful.
Inscryption
What a work of art that game is.
Absolutely, Im so torn when bringing up this game as I refuse to spoil even a morsel of it but at the same time I feel the need to sing its praises
Hunt Showdown or Evolve
I would never do that. I’d just play it again.
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.
Legacy of the Ancients
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.
Bioshock, Portal and Wii Bowling.
Police Quest
Fuck those piggy shits
Alan Wake. There’s certain parts of that game that mess with your head.
Your comment has reminded me of Eternal Darkness on the GameCube. That did various things like lower the volume with a fake on screen TV display. That didn’t work for me because it was different to my own on screen TV graphics.
But when they faked that my memory card was corrupt and the save was gone, that one got me. 😂
Like metal gear solid where you had to switch controller ports. Finally figuring that out made me feel like a goddamn genius.
@eru777 There are so many games I would love to do this with. I think possibly Ar tonelico 2 would be the one I might pick if I had to pick just one. It was just... so incredible. Story, characters, atmosphere, music (omg the music!) and just was so amazing and mind-blowing for me at the time. I was a bit torn between this one and Ar nosurge though. It too is just as incredible in its own way. (Biggest problem there is it's only available in English on the PS3, which is a system I technically own but hate. The recent Switch port has received absolutely no attention even from fans.)
But really there is just a whole host of things. I would wish more that I could erase memories one at a time then replay each one at a time.
Silent Hill 2
SOMA
Morrowind is a good one too
