There is no “objective” when talking about subjective terms.

My personal, SUBJECTIVE favorites are Mass Effect, Titanfall 2, Subnautica, Stardew Valley, Ori and the Blind Forest, Dave the Diver, Balatro, and Portal 1 and 2

I think Outer Wilds is the most unique and fantastic way to tell a story I’ve ever experienced. Truly open in a way I’ve not seen before or since.

With the banger of a soundtrack too, I just can’t bring myself to rate other games higher than it; even if I enjoy them more, Outer Wilds is probably the best game I’ve ever played.

Slay the Spire probably makes the list as it’s inspired countless tweaks on its incredibly balanced deck building experience

Super Metroid is still the first that comes to mind. Amazing experience from start to finish.

Psychonauts 1 and 2.

Some of the most imaginative big budget games in existence, from themes to art style to level design

hank_the_tank66,

EXCEPT…for when your computer teammate jumps in front of you while you’re shooting and accosts you for it, then a second later they literally mow down a bunch of infected by shooting through you with no consequences.

So I have to knock it down to a 9.9/10

Hades. Transcends the rogue-like genre through incredible writing, art direction, and music. The gameplay is some of the most addictive I’ve ever played. I’m at over 200 hours logged and I still get lost in it.

Glad to see some love for Shenmue

The fucking asteroids in the original Dead Space, fuck those things. Though knowing my luck they were locked to frame rate or some shit which made it difficult on PC.

Holy shit somehow no one has mentioned:

Nier Automata

It counts as a masterpiece because of how well it blends game design, gameplay and story. I have played very few games as thoughtful, or that weaved the gameplay together into the story it was telling in such a meaningful way. I never thought once in my life that I would think philosophically about bullet hell but somehow Nier Automata has something profound to say and even manages to say it using bullet hell as a gameplay mechanic.

On top of all this, it also has a lot to say about classical philosophers, their works, and honestly deeply subverts things they had to say. It asks tough questions about their thoughts and ideas, once again, through gameplay. Numerous characters are named for classical philosophers: Pascal, Jean-Paul, Simone, Engels, Immanuel… (Yoko Taro obviously has feelings about how Jean-Paul Sartre treated Simone de Beauvoir.)

Further, Yoko Taro is doing something that a lot of game developers fail to manage to do: He is embracing gaming as a storytelling medium and eschewing the traditional three-act arc from film. Because gaming is not film. As Marshall McLuhan posited, “the medium is the message” and unlike other developers Taro’s writing is aimed at the medium he is working in instead of leaning on the ropes and tropes of other mediums. (Referring back to above, tying the gameplay into the story, focusing on the medium)

It’s basically impossible to not break down into tears at the ending.

Don’t write it off because of the scantily clad anime women. Stay for the depth of the human condition. It is truly a masterwork in multiple respects.

TomSelleck,

I didn’t know Chris Plante is on Lemmy.

@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

For a moment I thought you were talking about the Newsmax host and I was very offended and confused, but it looks like there is another, lesser known Chris Plante in gaming journalism.

TomSelleck,

And he fuckin LOVES NieR

shrodes,

Quick, go through their post history and see if they’ve mentioned any Neil Breen films

sugar_in_your_tea,

Nier Automata

I loved Nier Replicant, but didn’t get into Automata, maybe I’ll give it another shot. I do love that style of storytelling though.

Bbbbbbbbbbb,

It’s basically impossible to not break down into tears at the ending.

The god damn ending is a gameplay mechanic to tell a not yet finished story. Damn you Yoko Taro

SnotFlickerman,
@SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

spoilerThe wild part is that he’s so good at subverting anime tropes, too. The “killing god” trope is mentioned in the first lines of the game… and then going on to battling the end credits themselves?? Literally killing the gods who created the world this all exists in? Taking it to the absurd yet logical extreme, so brilliant.

MarauderIIC,

I appreciate that you justified your submission, unlike many answers here.

One of my favorite games of all time.

Katana314,

Man, I wish I understood a single bit of this evaluation of the game after finishing every chapter (sorry - “Ending”). The whole thing felt mostly like a waste of time.

That said, I’m a fan of Spec Ops: The Line, a game that has much the same level of division among its players. Interesting how philosophical games get that reaction.

msage,

I tried to play that game, expecting perhaps a DMC-like gameplay.

Instead I got a 2D plane scroller?

Then 2D sort of platformer?

Then some weird 3D action that I did not understand at all?

What the fuck is that game.

If I enjoyed combat more, I could give it another go. But it was just not for me.

Adulated_Aspersion, do games w What are some good cooperative shooters? Hidden gems?

Ghost Recon: Wildlands

Really fun to coop in either players’ world to just line up shots and generally wreak havoc.

BlindFrog,

And it’s on sale for 10$ on steam rn, damn. It’s missing the multi-player tag, otherwise I would have had it on my wishlist for co-op 3rd person shooters sooner :<

AnalogNotDigital,

Fuuuucking this.

It’s Grand Theft Auto; Special Forces.

I wish they didn’t absolutely butcher the sequel. It feels fucking awful compared to Wildlands.

bitjunkie,

Yeah I loved Wildlands but couldn’t get into Breakpoint. Glad I’m not alone, at least.

AnalogNotDigital,

Same. I put in like 3 hours into Breakpoint and I was like 'where’s literally all the flavor gone from this game? So glad I waited until it was like a 5 dollar steam sale. Even then I tried to refund it but was past the ‘trial’ period.
