Saw someone else out urquan masters, so I’ll put Caves of Qud and Rain World. they both of some of the best pixel art ever, and caves of qud has some the most dynamic story telling in anything I’ve played
I have a personal soft spot for Doki Doki Literature Club because it got me into programming when i was young, but that’s far more sentimental and to be honest i wouldn’t play it again as an adult really. If i had to pick something functionally though I’d say Project Zomboid. there’s a fuck ton of fun to be made in that, especially with Multiplayer. Even in singleplayer i like to turn on a NPC mod and assemble my own makeshift Walking Dead cast
The vast majority of my favourite games have been listed, many multiple times, so I’m gonna go with some I didn’t see, though I didn’t look exhaustively, here we go:
Quite a hidden gem in my opinion, almost no one I mention it to has heard of it. 2D platformer with an amazing story and some interesting gimmicks. One of the most surprising and unforgettable indie games I’ve played.
Ninja action-platformer that is way more than it first appears if you stick with it. Hilarious writing, great controls, and amazing music. Genuinely one of my favourite games.
Almost entirely unique in it’s idea. It’s a pinball-metroidvania where you’re a postman dung beetle, and it really works. Gorgeous world, super chill vibes, clever puzzles… What metroid prime pinball should have been.
Used to play battlefield 2, BC2 and 3 alot. Then I stopped playing online games and recently started playing “Ravenfield”. It’s succesfully filling the void, there are even battlefield maps and some vehicle/heli/jet/tank mods and ignoring the fact that it looks like battlefield heroes (very indie-style graphics), the physics/handling feels pretty close, especially when flying heli and shooting rockets
I used a few little hints to help with the “true final boss”, but it was a fantastic reorienting of everything, and was glad by then it got away from traditional combat. I enjoyed the core combat too, although I usually don’t even like Soulslikes.
The black robe and hood keeps turning different colours or have the no-texture checkerboard, think it’s something to do with casting Deathly Visage then travelling through a door with a load screen
Gen X here. Arriving late to the thread but I think I have something to say about this. I'll try to keep the list short, as it could go really long if I added everything that deserves to be mentioned. Games that were genre-defining for me:
Gradius/Nemesis (this saga defines what a good shoot 'em up should look like, noteworthy title being Nemesis 2 for the MSX)
Double Dragon (original arcade version, as it was never correctly ported to any other platform due to home consoles being too weak at the time, this is the beat 'em up game you must play)
Shadow Dancer (for the Genesis/Mega Drive, the best title in the Shinobi series, has great graphics, music and gameplay)
Bionic Commando (for the GameBoy, there's just something special about this game that was never truly replicated)
Super Mario World (the Super NES title is 16-bit platformer perfection, the interaction between sprites is just what you expect it to be)
Ninja Warriors Again (for the SNES, is just a fun, very well-made beat 'em up)
Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold (a.k.a. Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha, this is 2D fighting perfection, simply put)
Castlevania: Circle of the Moon (the series' debut on the Game Boy Advance was also one of the best games ever made for the console, arguably the very best 2D title in the series)
Doom (the game that made Boomers get interested in video games for better or worse, requires no further introduction)
Ōkami (this one has been re-released for every platform since its original PS2 version and if you play it you'll understand why)
Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (hands down the best 3D Castlevania title ever created, criminally not ported to newer consoles)
Resident Evil Zero (probably the best fixed-camera title in the series, also sets a good basis for playing the next ones afterwards)
Resident Evil 4 (the original, not the remake, arguably one of the best video games ever made, also first "action" title in the series)
Anything that comes after that is probably not "old" enough for me.
