Bastion made me feel like that. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for days.

Hell yeah Bastion. All Supergiant games really.

grrgyle,

Oh yeah, that was a really interesting choice. You had to actually sacrifice something tangible to you as a player to get the “good ending” i really had to think over that one for a while

Silent Hill 2. And not even just the first time.

And not even just the original game, the remake also had me like this.

Wouldn’t say changed my life but the ending of Liberty City in Cyberpunk and Stray, both great story writing

Minecraft got me into programming when I was like 14. I'd probably have gotten into it regardless but it was the trigger for what has been a 14 year journey so far so I'd definitely say it changed my life

Had Hollow Knight for a while but never played it so I wanted to go through it before starting Silksong. I can see now why people were so excited for this game

Salt and Sanctuary

Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri. It made me realize that the future is not going to be people on spaceships. It will be bizarre and beautiful post-human intelligences. That’s what made me choose to study biology (although in retrospect I should have bet on silicon rather than carbon).

I’ll vote for the Civilization series as something that changed my life. It wasn’t a single profound experience when I “completed the game”. I’ve done that a number of times in multiple different versions of Civ. It was more the “aha” moments along the way. Learning about wonders of the world, hearing about different cultures. Thinking about how X led to Y. Civ taught me a lot of things, but more importantly, it made me curious so that I learned things outside the game.

Absolutely if you like solving puzzles while pondering some philosophical concepts and the future of mankind

itsgroundhogdayagain,

I’m in my last section of the C building and I’m hating it so much right now. Who the hell thought up these puzzles?

No shame in looking up solutions on YouTube. Some of their puzzles can be brutal. I hated anything timing based. They dropped those in the second game thankfully.

There is great satisfaction to coming back to a puzzle and finally figuring it out yourself though.

Braid.

I won’t ruin it, but – it is not the usual ending.

SleepyPie,

My mouth was open in awe for like 10 minutes. Granted I was a teenager at the time and easily impressed

OG Resident Evil 4 left a hell of an impression on me as a kid. That and OG God of War, I was hooked for life.

Atari Warlords. After seeing it in the local convenience store, I raced home on my bike to describe what I’d seen to my incredulous mother. She took me back and let me play twice. The obsession took root right at that moment.

Then later, Section Z in the arcades - It was the game that made me ponder how games were actually made. I imagined a person sitting with a microphone patched into the back of the arcade cabinet: “Ok I want a little red guy with a gun and he runs sideways…”

TribblesBestFriend, do gaming w What's the video game equivalent of fast food?

I’m prepare to be hated for this one but …

Cyberpunk 2077. (At first I was thinking CoD but I’m no multiplayer player) There’s no new mechanics, if you know the source material there’s also nothing new. Dialogues are so so and the expansion story line is awful.

In my opinion it’s a basic game with a new gen console veneer, anyway I’ve played the story 2 times

ordnance_qf_17_pounder,

Amen to that. We Cyberpunk haters are few, but we do exist.

It’s diabolical how a Cyberpunk game can have such little customisation and such a shallow world with virtually nothing to do outside of missions.

renegadespork,

You’re allowed to not like the game, but “fast food?” It’s a massive RPG with AAA production and hundreds of hours of content.

“Fast food” would be short/shallow experiences that are just designed to be addictive like clicker games.

TribblesBestFriend,

Agree to disagree

Cyberpunk have clear gamification mechanics in it but that’s not the point.

Fast food food are easy to digest with low effort production, Cyberpunk don’t try to incentivize something new, it used mechanics that we have seen a hundred of times and clear story beats for all its plot points.

Don’t get me wrong, you’re allowed to have fun with it but there’s nothing new in there

renegadespork,

You’re clearly missing the point of OP’s post. This has nothing to do with novelty or creativity.

A steak isn’t original or avant-garde, but it’s certainly isn’t “fast food” even if you think the steak is cooked poorly.

I think you’re just conflating “shallow” with “bad”.
