Oxygen Not Included. Gotta compute the rate at which dupes consume resources to adjust production. It’s so hard yet so satisfying. The dupes are extremely stupid though

Return of the Obra Dinn

JillyB,

Came here to mention this. I had so many clues and mysteries I was trying to keep track of that I was regularly jotting down notes

This was my first thought as well.

I’m trying to put it in a way that won’t spoil clues for those who haven’t played it yet, but I ended up with plenty of notes and even took screenshots of the ship maps to scribble notes on.

God I wish I could forget all about it and play it for the first time again.

This was going to be mine as well. The fact that you don’t start to investigate the mystery in chronological order turned out to be quite a treat, as I need some way to organize my thoughts.

Fantastic game, honestly, I’ve had quite a few good detective experiences the past few years that nearly perfected the genre to me.

Dishonored 2!
Not the whole game, just a single level where you can avoid killing and sneaking by solving the Jindosh riddle.

True MMORTS with persistent non-instanced map and PVE content.

IMO best example was Ballerium developed by Majorem ( but game doesn’t exist anymore ) - on graphical level looked like WC3, on PVE side there were monster encounters and monster pack migrations that you could engage or had to run from

    I think Dan Carlin made a VR experience that was just an experience of ww1 trench warfare. He had it set up in a museum and around the VR was a set that was supposed to emulate the feel and smell of a ww1 trench. I think you can the the VR experience at home though, you just wont get the touch.

    It’s called War Remains, and it’s basically just a 15 minute VR experience without any real interactive elements. Works really well as a complementary piece to Hardcore History though.

    Not necessarily a realistic game, but you could check out the horror game 1916. It takes place in german trenches and there are other things in the trenches, namely dinosaurs. A little silly, but it doesnt feel silly when you have a dino chasing you and all you have is a flare.

    Amnesia: The Bunker is another good choice.

    I play Ocarina of Time randomizers using both a tracker and my own notes. That game is pretty huge, especially when things are shuffled around.

    Trespasser by Research Indicates is honestly so well written that it feels like director’s commentary rather than a let’s play.

    Bobbin Threadbare’s Deus Ex. It’s half let’s play, half a series of lectures on various topics relating to the game.

    For me a good let’s play is about the game and representing it, not about about the personality doing it.

    That Trespasser LP is what motivated me to play through the game myself, and I have no regrets. That game is insane. It’s awful, don’t get me wrong, but crazy ahead of its time. They basically tried to make a VR game two decades before VR gaming became a thing. Without Trespasser, we wouldn’t have Half-Life: Alyx. Research Indicates’ LP is a fantastic way to experience this obscure but fascinating title.

    La-mulana. It’s one of those games that only has value if you play it blind and without a walkthrough. The game’s platforming and combat is subpar at best and atrocious at worst, but the riddles and the mythology make up for it. I played it around 2008 on the “MSX” freeware version, and it took me 10 months and 2 new save files after getting stuck. You have no chances of completing that game without extensive notes.

    It happened only one time, when playing Final Fantasy X, I really wanted to know what they were saying before finding all the Al Bhed primers. So I found a few NPC, took notepad and using a few letters found in the beginning, I was guessing what they were saying. It was quite satisfying and helpful, albeit easy.

    itsgallus,

    This, and for the various secret passwords scattered about. “Kilika and Bikanel join as one”.

    Omegamanthethird,

    I did that at one point too. There was a newspaper that I used to get that had a game that did the same thing. But I can’t seem to find it now.

    I take a lot of notes while playing PvP games. Now for TFT.

    Oh man, last one that made me do that was probably Zork III. I was hand-drawing my own maps to navigate that game. I miss those days.

    Been a while since I watched SGF. I really like the obscure games he brings to publicity, like MODE and the Philips CD-i interactive medias.

    wieders,

    I loved his dearly premonition lp, will have to check out illbleed :) Thanks for the tip.

    I came here to say "Any Cyan game", Riven i think was definitely one of the most complex and needed the most notes. They've recently released Firmament and Riven remake is on its way too.

    Totally forgot firmament was coming out!! Riven is a really important game for me so I’m super hyped for a remake

    I did this for the Witness - it really helped to think out some of the puzzles if scribbled possible solutions down. Oh and Obra Dinn to an extent - mostly things like ‘I saw this guy hanging around in this memory - could he be X’?

    chiz,

    Yeah, I did this for the witness sort of. If I got stuck on a puzzle and was finishing up a session, I’d take a photo and then draw over the top of it as I went about my day, so I’d come back to the game with a solution.

    Settled’s Swampletics (OldSchool RuneScape) is wild, and popular among even people who have never played OSRS.
