    Always Shadow of the Colossus, my favourite game ever.

  Bioshock.

    Would you kindly forget the Bioshock franchise?

  Red Dead 2

    For me it’s RDR1. I still haven’t beaten the second one just so I can “still have more to play.”

  Day of the Tentacle

  I want to say “Baldur’s Gate 1+2”, but I’m honestly not sure that I’d have the patience to learn the fight system nowadays. I still never finished the Throne of Bhaal expansion, because high level play becomes such a hassle.

  Second retro favourite after that is probably Pillars of Eternity 2, the atmosphere wasn’t as good as in PoE 1 but the gameplay is way better. I’d definitely be up for playing that right now.

  Black and white 1 and 2. 2 cause I loved the rts element they added

  Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos (and it’s expansion, The Frozen Throne).

  The level of storytelling for a strategy game’s campaign completely blew me away at the time. The “good”-coded guys are haughty and rigid, the “bad”-coded guys are (mostly) just trying to get by in a world that rejects them at every turn, not to mention you play as the lovable young protégé and prodigy that slowly casts aside his humanity until he becomes a “big bad” for everyone else. The campaign has world-altering events take place, and you actually get to see the world altered after the fact.

  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

  I want to say Fallout 2 but then again 46 year old me would probably give up halfway through the fucking temple of trials.

  That shit was brutal if you tried to make a non combat based character.

    For how great Fallout 2 is, it’s amazing how horrible the first hour or two is. It’s such a shame as it has filtered more than one first playthrough. Hell, I’ve given up on replaying the game one or two times myself midway through that opening bit.

  Journey. What a magical game.

• picnic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  A lot of good ones here already listed, some of those I’ve started and veered off due to busy life with kids.

  What I didnt see was uncharted 4. Never played any other in the series, but bought that one from steam sales. You know when you picked up a good book which you couldnt put down but had to read through as fast as possible? Or new tv series that you had to binge? Well surprisingly uncharted 4 was that for me last year. After I was finished I felt empty: “whats now?”.

  A very few games have gripped me that way.

  • RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    The first Uncharted, at the time, reminded me what I loved about gaming, and they’ve only gotten better. And just as they were basically a new Indiana Jones, the new Indy game is pretty much an open hub world Uncharted, but they both stand on their own.

    Ohh! Good call! Uncharted!

    • lemonSqueezy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Uncharted is on a next level. It’s a game ahead of its time.

  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

• tio_bira@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas

  Detroit Become Human. What an absolutely amazing story game

  source
• Kronusdark@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Psychonauts.

  source

  • astutemural@midwest.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    That game was so good. At one point you telepathically delve into the mind of a giant lungfish and it feels completely rational to do so.

    source
• Strider@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  None. Every game was a product of its time, hence bound to many external factors.

  Let it go… And take the chance to experience what you haven’t yet, there’s more to do, than can ever be done.

  (on a roll with 2 Disney references, apologies)

  • fishy@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    That’s not really in the spirit of the question though. The question boils down to “what game made you feel some kinda way that you’d like to replicate?” It’s entirely hypothetical. Theres too many amazing games that have been made in the last thirty years to ever finish them all. But that doesn’t take away from that moment in a game that was so new and impactful that it became seared into. I’ve had experiences so deep it literally changed how I felt about death and loss and it would be amazing to feel those feelings again.

      Apologies, thats just the way I understand it. 99% will understand it as intended, I’m with the 1% 😁

  Planescape: Torment. So much to erase.

  source

  • i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

  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.

  source

  • moakley@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

    source

    • TedZanzibar@feddit.uk ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Just a shame the sublime platforming had to be continuously interrupted by repetitive fights! Still, I want to play it again now.

  Best horror: Dead Space Best story: Horizon Zero Dawn Best Multiplayer with Friends: Halo 3 Best Action: DOOM 2016

  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.

    Shadow of the Colossus for sure. Such a compelling story shown and not told. So incredible experiencing in that first play through.

  • MonkeMischief@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    That’s really cool to see this here. That’s one I haven’t played yet but keep thinking about because watching the wild first person parkour leaping just felt like some of the best dreams I’ve ever had.

    source

    • raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It does feel dreamlike. To be honest, the story is not that much of an issue that forgetting it to be able to replay it for the first time is such a huge difference. But it is enough about story-telling that I only replayed it once after some months, and then shelved it. Definitely atmospheric and suited for children, too.

  Death Stranding

  I went it to that totally blind and holy shit was it amazing. It’s not even my usual type of game so I have no idea why I picked it up.

  • newthrowaway20@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I love it when that happens with a game. Getting blindsided by something truly exceptional is such a surreal experience.

    source
  • godfish@lemy.lol ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I am still delivering stuff and rebuilding roads, lines and so on.

    The shouts of other players that are close… The music… The sense of accomplishment when besting a mountain…

    Everything in this game was perfect except the combat. But it was easy enough.

    source

    • B0NK3RS@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I found the game to be better overall when you bump the difficulty up to hard or very hard and avoid using vehicles.

      I bought a PS5 recently so I’m going to do another run through on the directors cut version and then on to DS2 which I’m excited for.

      Keep on keeping on.
