It’s a little janky, and the blocky aesthetic may or may not be your thing, but it handles the idea of detective work better than any other game I’ve ever played. It’s not just “Walk around in detective vision until you assemble enough clues for the character to tell you the solution.” You have to actually think about things, examine the evidence, assemble a theory of the crime. Which is doubly impressive given that every crime is procedurally generated.
Surprised I haven’t seen Undertale yet. The online fanbase is hilariously toxic, (seriously, don’t go looking for any extra details about the game after you finish it) but it’s a solid game that should be experienced 100% blind. All I’ll say is that it’s a game that is written to subvert expectations; If you go into it expecting to play it like a traditional RPG, you’ll be in for a big surprise.
Dark Souls and Return of the Obra Dinn have already been mentioned, but I’ll also recommend Universal Paperclips. These also happen to be my favorite 3 games.
Way to make me feel old, I don’t know any of those games.
Where’s my late 90s early 2000s gamers at?
I’m going to nominate:
Fallout (1997) for plot twists and introducing (to me at least) open world role playing.
Fallout 2 (1998) for further plot twists
Max Payne (2001) for stealing bullet time from the matrix and putting it in a game
Mafia (2002) for being a kick ass game that would blow your mind, by making 6 hours of your night disappear, and not lifting the lid on that plot twist before you heard the birds start singing, and realize that you should probably hit the shower and get to school.
If Fallout introduced you to open world RPG’s, that means you missed Daggerfall.
Arguably the greatest open world RPG of all time.
That was the game that absolutely, completely blew my mind with its openness, freedom, and scale (none of which were matched by any following TES game).
Well worth blocking the phone line for an entire night and running up a phone bill that’ll get you yelled at by your parents, to download the 140MB installer.
