Probably Metroid Prime but some days I think it is Dark Souls 1. Both are similar in terms of trying to embody an adventure with strong environmental storh telling.
Properly distinct beast races, freedom to fuck up the world, really rewarding exploration, awesome scenery and concepts, great soundtrack, you can free slaves, and Argonians have never looked better overall.
Second place, probably Red Dead Redemption 2. Every single aspect of that game is outstanding. The pacing, the story, the characters, the combat, the exploration, the horse genitals, the music, the graphics, the massive scale of the world… Just truly a masterpiece of a game, and I think Rockstar will never surpass it.
Honorable mentions for Caves of Qud, Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy 7 (original AND remake/rebirth) and Starflight (mostly played on C64 but Genesis/Megadrive version is far better)
Oh, fuck, and Silent Hill 2, that’s somewhere in the top three. Both original and remake. Fucking exceptional works of art.
I sometimes feel like the only American that liked Bubsy. The biggest complaint I hear about it is that the jumping if super floaty; but that’s it’s strength! Once you get the rhythm of the game down, you’re basically Tribes style skiing through the levels. It’s awesome.
Personally for me Silent Hill 2, Alan Wake 2, Fallout New Vegas, Assassins Creed Black Flag, and Portal 2 are the ones i can name in recent memory. I’m sure there’s more that left me feeling the same way beyond that though
Really dig these write-up, keep em coming! Especially intreeged by the oldschool steam deck magazine design, so cooooool!
Also I think at one point you should gather all of these “rants” in some sort of collection for people to more easily find back to. There are some fediverse, blog post-Y tools out there for it, that would kinda generate a blog based on your content. Sadly forgot what it’s called but if I find it I’ll come back here and post it. Just a thought for you to consider 😊
You might be right, at least they won’t go anywhere until I do decide where to back them up in one collection. If you remember, or come across it, let me know!
