Outer Wilds
Do you hear music?
Return of the Obra Dinn.
Mine as well. The intersection of detective work and historical knowledge paying off hit me just in the right spot.
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
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 like your pick, Morrowind. I was very hyped to play it, and when I could finally own it, it was even better then I had hoped.
I think my pick would be Inscryption. What a weird and delightful game :)
SOMA for sure.
INLAND EMPIRE — You know full well what the answer would be.
SHIVERS — It is written on *the city itself*.
ELECTROCHEMISTRY — It’s Schedule One, right?
Half-life 2
SOTC
Detroit Become Human. What an absolutely amazing story game
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
A story about my uncle
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.
Elden Ring. Hands down.
Journey. What a magical game.

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
Hollow Knight, Bioshock, Dark Souls, Resident Evil 7/8, Shadow of the Colossus, Soma, Sifu, Tunic, Outer Wilds and Firewatch.

Delilah seems nice.
Shadow of the Colossus for sure. Such a compelling story shown and not told. So incredible experiencing in that first play through.
Either Battletoads or Out of this World!
100% with you on Out of this World!

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.
I love it when that happens with a game. Getting blindsided by something truly exceptional is such a surreal experience.
Skyrim, Portal 2, Slime Rancher, or the first Deus Ex.
