Spec Ops: The Line
“Do you feel like a hero yet?”
Also Starcraft: Brood War, Shadow Watch, and, yah, Morrowind. I took over an entire house in Balmora to serve as a treasure room. Then hit the max item limit and had to re-place everything by hand while also taking over another house.
Splintercell Chaos Theory.
Good lord…
God damn it, Fisher!
Outer Wilds
Celeste
Portal 1 and Portal 2. Every time.
Ooh good choices
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.
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.
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.
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.
Dark Souls
Edit: My bad, didn’t notice the name of the community. I sure hope DS doesn’t count as retro lol
Discovering that world for the first time was so special. Still nothing quite like it
Braid
Syberia
Surprised no one mentioned it
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
The last of us or bioshock infinite
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
