Hello all! I was thinking about games I enjoyed so much when I played them that I still think about them nearly weekly and I was curious what games had that effect on you. For me those two games where:
- Disco Elysium, for it’s unique gameplay, excellent vibe, and incredible story telling.
- Stray, for it’s beautiful world, relaxing aesthetic, and insane polish / attention to detail.
I beat each of these over two years ago, and I’m still obsessing over how much I liked them. It took so much effort for summarize my love for those two games into two sentences. If you haven’t checked them out, you should!
Definitely firewatch. The story wasn’t the strongest but the environment was so nice.
I only recently got introduced to Firewatch but I loved everything about it. I then played Kona which hit the same spot and am looking forward to its sequel! Hopefully it won’t be as… rushed…
I actually have Kona in my library and played about half an hour and somehow never got further. I really need to pick it up again.
Outer Wilds - I hope there will be a way to erase specific memories, to experience this game for the first time again. Just beautiful.
Dark Souls - I think I know the map better than the roads in my home town. Such a nice world.
Gothic - So many memorable NPCs, I think I still remember most of their names
CrossCode stuck with me for a long time. Such charming characters, finishing it really felt like leaving friends behind.
- Nier Automata - Helped me think about unimportant things such as the meaning of life (or lack thereof). Also great gameplay variety.
- Enderal - Can humanity fix itself? Also, it shows what a community can do.
