Obra Dinn
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
Planescape: Torment. So much to erase.
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.
The Mass Effect trilogy for sure.
Oh shit! Mass effect! Forgot about that!
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
Breath of the Wild
Thief: The Dark Project
I still keep playing it with all the gfx patches, it's a masterpiece. 2 and 3 are not bad either, but the original is unmatched. Love the user generated mods as well.
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.
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.
Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas
The Witcher 3, Elden ring.
Nier: Automata. God, if I could feel that pain again... what a fucking game.
To the moon! The game was so emotional.
Inscryption. I thought it was a poor man's Slay The Spire using janky escape-room mechanics as a cheap, nifty gimmick to lend it some value.
It appeared on Game Pass, and upon trying it I sneered a little at it, as Spire and Monster Train were my only experiences with deckbuilders and I had been spoiled. I had no idea how good it really was. Gameplay mechanics it can't match up, but it contains a story thats shot straight into my top 10 of all time.
It shares an exclusive room in my memory alongside Bioshock, Deus Ex, KOTOR and the like.
Unfortunately it can't take me by surprise twice. The shock, suspense and mystery have been depleted and I cant feel it again. Ive been told the dev has more games that are all gold like that, but I cant look them up. I went into Doki Doki knowing that something happens and youll just have to find out and its spoilers and iykyk etc, and when it did it it just felt kinda neat but thoroughly underwhelming. I just need to hope that I stumble onto one of the devs other projects like a beautiful landmine in the future.
Deus Ex. A strangely prescient game that had shaped how I view the world.
The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms. You will soon have your God... and you will make it with your own hands.
Bioshock.
Would you kindly forget the Bioshock franchise?
Return of the Obra Dinn.
EDIT: Aaand Lucas just went and posted a two and a half hours narrated modeling mega timelapse.
Well. It's not like I had plans for the rest of the evening or anything...
Day of the Tentacle
KOTOR
The last of us or bioshock infinite
Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines.
Either that, or Fallout: New Vegas
Ninja Gaiden NES. I only have good memories from that game. When Super Mario Bros was the baseline, Ninja Gaiden was incredible. I played so much I could finish it on demand with barely any slips.
Dragon Age: Origins
