TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don’t think it can be replicated.

Figuring that shit out felt like brain magic

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A game of pure charm.
I used to habitually replay it every Christmas until one year it just felt too janky. They were supposed to be remaking it but the expected release date came and went without a word and now it’s just vaporware.
moakley@lemmy.world 5 months ago
A masterpiece. The entire game you have the sands and can rewind all of your missteps, only to lead up to one final, ridiculous platforming challenge where they take the sands away. Like the whole game was training you for that moment. Such a unique experience.
TedZanzibar@feddit.uk 5 months ago
Just a shame the sublime platforming had to be continuously interrupted by repetitive fights! Still, I want to play it again now.

Nier Automata
I first played it on the Switch because I didn’t have a PC working then. Now I have my dream PC, and can’t bring myself to play it again

FixFox. A wholesome sci-fi adventure game with no combat that really hit me in the feels.
perfectduck@lemmy.world 5 months ago
I agree with so many here, but I have a new one.
Dredge.
It just seemed like a fishing simulator, but it got creepier as it went on. Definitely an ending I didn’t expect. That may have been me just getting too into finding every fish.
Great gameplay loop and played on steam deck excellently.
tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 5 months ago
Honestly, I had completely the opposite experience with Dredge.
The first few days in the game feel truly scary, with your terribly slow ship, and strange lights in the darkness are terrifying. Those initial quests with the pulsating wet package are creepy, and you wonder where that’s going to lead, and what storyline will cone from that.
But then, you get a few engine upgrades and there’s suddenly not a single danger in the game you can’t easily run from. You’re invincible and the whole ocean is your oyster. The pulsating package was just a bit of flavour and nothing comes of it at all - in fact the quests in the game are almost entirely plain fetch quests, totally shallow with very little real story. And while the ending gets interesting, it’s all too brief.
Now don’t get me wrong - I loved Dredge, actually. But I loved it as a cosy collect-em-all fishing sim bombing around the ocean in your fun and zoomy boat, rather than the narrative-driven Lovecraftian horror the trailers made it out to be, which it ultimately I felt it wasn’t at all

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

Honestly I think why HZD sticks with me is because I work in tech and see how easily plausible that scenario is.

Project wingman. I was expecting a silly arcade flight sim with a passable plot. I did not expect the emotions. Soundtrack is peak. Also hella immersive in vr.

The Outer Worlds. I never beat it, but I played through a lot of it. I went in completely blind, not knowing what it was, and my mind was blown away.
I wish I could experience all of it brand new whenever I go back to finish it up.
ShieldsUp@startrek.website 5 months ago
Its comments like this that made me finally go and purchase The Outer Worlds a few months ago. Going in blind and within 10 minutes I’m thinking, what is this bullshit?!?! I have yet to try the right game yet but that always makes me laugh.
Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Outer Worlds is a good game too, but doesn’t hold a candle to Wilds
SaraTonin@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Yeah. If there’s one answer to the question of what game can you only play for the first time once, is Outer Wilds.

Bioshock.
syreus@lemmy.world 5 months ago
Would you kindly forget the Bioshock franchise?
AceFuzzLord@lemmy.zip 5 months ago
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 ).

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!

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.

Planescape: Torment. So much to erase.
i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
That game is too memorable. I tried replaying it a while back after not touching it in 15 years.
Five minutes in and nope, this whole story is seared into my long term memory and there’s nothing fresh yet.
I’ll try again when I’m 80.
