  The nostalgia of early Reddit…

  Now I’m intrigued to make account in lemmy.world.

  I tried this some time ago. It’s basically the same game, just with some QoL improvement like widescreen support, and also dynamic lighting which is cool.

  I honestly feel a little disappointed that I scrolled this far and nobody mentioned Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings (1999).

  This is an RTS game, which is a dying genre. It’s also a 24 year old game, which after its release two more Age of Empires games have been released as well, and the game itself has been remastered recently. Yet people continue to play the original game to this day, the multiplayer scene and competitions are still active.

  If that is not timeless I don’t know what is.

  Oblivion was good, but even at the time of the release the graphics, especially faces, are potato. Skyrim is probably peak graphics at release, and still beautiful even now. Gameplay is a little dumbed down, but still enjoyable for both casual and hardcore gamers. Combine that with active modding scene and continuous support from Bethesda, Skyrim ages longer than any game has right to be.

  For me, the controls are probably the only outdated thing in StarCraft, which is why it was fixed in StarCraft II. Oh and probably the very 90s soundtracks and early CGI cutscenes.

  Other than that, I personally think StarCraft is one of the best games of all time. The plot, voice acting, character and unit designs are absolutely timeless. StarCraft is one of very few games that I can confidently say I’m suck at, yet still enjoy playing, with cheats if necessary.

  For those who want to try StarCraft but put off by the outdated gameplay, I suggest installing StarCraft II (now free) and also installing StarCraft Mass Recall which is the remake of original StarCraft and Brood War expansion in StarCraft II engine.

  Honestly after playing newer entries like Pharaoh and Zeus, it’s starting to show its age. But then the Augustus mod came and it feels truly timeless now.
