I think it depends strongly on your taste for getting into a series (do you want to play the best game first, or work up to it? Etc) However, if you enjoyed the Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog you probably want to look into the IDW Sonic comics, which are being adapted for mobile formats on webtoons for free right now once a week.
Mind you, thats the IDW comics, not the old archie ones, which… Have a certain appeal but are so unhinged.
To be clear, the early 2D series of Sonic was relatively story-light, the detailed stories and characters didn’t really arrive until Sonic Adventure. Some of these you will need emulators on your PC to play. Make sure you have a good gamepad, either an Xbox controller or PS4/PS5 controller or a knockoff in the same style are ideal.
Best 2D Sonic (light on story, heavy on gameplay): Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Close 2nd 2D Sonic: Sonic 3 + Sonic & Knuckles
Best 3D Sonic (heavy on story and gameplay): Sonic Adventure
Close 2nd 3D Sonic: Sonic Adventure 2
3D “Sonic” with a cult following: Shadow the Hedgehog
Honorable Mention because it’s so fun in terms of gameplay and story: Sonic Generations and/or Shadow Generations
I’d recommend Sonic Generations (or Sonic X Shadow Generations), which is kind of a best-of of previous Sonic games’ levels, tied together with a new story.
Sonic mania is also a great game, reminiscent of the first few 2d Sonic games. But, just like those games, it doesn’t really have much of a story or character interactions.
Katamari Damacy. It has a reputation for being silly Japanese nonsense, but the gameplay is brilliant, the graphics are timeless, the soundtrack is incredible, and it has some surprising thematic depth.
I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2’s community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai’s videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately. The Steam forums have the usual toxic trolls, but the Discord (and other hubs) is usually having furious arguments over buffs, nerfs, what is meta, what isn’t, what should be done what shouldn’t be and so on. For a silly little PvE co-op power fantasy game.
I’m not sure if Deep Rock Galactic has this problem, I’ve played it and it all seemed pretty positive but I never got into the game as much as I did HD2.
I take it you’ve never had the displeasure of being dropped into a PlayStation lobby? Lots of TKers and Kickers on PS. I don’t get the same from Steam players.
I spent a fair bit of the past weekend spinning it up and loading my library. Still have some cleanup to do, a fair bit of learning I think, and dipping into the community for some questions. At this point, I’m not sure it holds a ton of value for me personally, but it looks great and has been a lot of fun. Definitely looking forward to what the future brings.
Kingdom Come Deliverance is the most notable example of this. The monastery mission is absolutely brutal both by how difficult it’s intended to be, and by how broke it is, on a technical level.
It’s definitely interesting, but it’s so difficult.
