Myst was my answer even before reading your post, so I would say the rest of the series. Also Quern, in the same genre. Maybe The Talos Principle if you like puzzles, though I don’t remember reaching for my notepad while playing.
Fair, Satisfactory is a lot heavier on the hardware for sure. But it’s a first person 3D game with a much bigger emphasis on beauty.
I find top down to be less interesting. I like to build factories in 3D with many vertical manufacturing layers in addition to spreading out horizontally. I think 3D factories is a more fun challenge. To each their own though. They’re both interesting games.
Dyson Sphere Program is 3rd person 3-D and it has combat these days. I’m actually wondering what they haven’t implemented yet, since it’s still early access AFAIA.
Eh, I get it. There’s an overwhelming abundance of choice that’s growing faster than the average time it takes to form a connection with any one game. Why deal with the FOMO and misbuys if you know what works for you.
That doesn’t stop me from purchasing way too many (non-refundable) indie titles on the Switch, though. And I’m glad to say some of those feel like they’ll keep me hooked for a good while.
Still, nothing can ever top my love for one classic game in particular: AOE 1 (definitive edition). Why? (It’s unfair to the rest.) Years ago I used to play against my dad over LAN. It’s some of the most fun we had together. Standing outside while he took a smoke break mid-game, I’d explain how I was about to wipe his whole civilization off the map in ways he couldn’t possibly imagine. Sometimes when I miss him, firing up AOE lets me feel closer to him again.
All this to say, nostalgia is a tough bar for any new game to beat.
That's so sweet bonding with your dad over that game. May you retain that memory forever ❤️
I'm with you. The concept of gaming as a disposable medium never really worked for me either. The idea of going through my wishlist like it's a watchlist—beating a game only to move on to the next was just never really for me.
If I don't think a game is built to be organically replayable, I'll probably just lose interest in buying it.
I wonder what separates games from movies as disposable media, especially with games that are meant to be cinematic/telling a story. Like Spec Ops is loosely based on Heart of Darkness and has a strong narrative, but without that is just a sort of middling shooter. So once you know the story it doesn’t have a ton of replayability, but it’s still impactful in the way a good movie is.
It’s by the same guy that made The Stanley Parable, but it’s more serious.
It’s the same themes from Stanley Parable except made into an actual story instead of one long recurring joke.
I’m not saying the long recurring joke is bad - someone will probably hate that I said that - but they’re just two different things that both do their different things very well. The Stanley Parable explicitly never builds to any kind of conclusion.
Factorio and Dyson Sphere Program. At least don’t watch people like Nilaus and Dosh Doshington play the game until you’ve tried to make your own solutions first.
God of War 2018. I played all the original games but I was still just a casual fan. I heard about the new game coming out but didn’t really pay much attention to it. I eventually play it and holy crap I didn’t know it was going to be what it was. Before playing it, I had RDR2 as my game of the year but GOW really stole it in the end.
There isn’t a game that exists that isn’t better going in knowing very little, if anything at all, about it. I don’t even understand reading an entire guide or wiki about a game before you ever even load it up and play.
You need to report this to your local data protection authority (or similar). They didn’t carry out your deletion request, so they would most likely be fined (at least that happens often in my country).
FF7 Remake. I tried a “demo” and have been waiting for a sale. It’s still more than I’d like to spend on the game, but I want to go back and continue my saved game.
You pretty much know that I had no racist intention. If I had racist intention, that would be bad, yes. There are too many people who go against other people on the basis of race, it is ironic that a person who is not racist has a comment pointed out as racist. I confirm, I do not have any racist belief. Kindly take your concern to those who really use concepts such as ‘race’ to talk about concepts like ‘superior’ or ‘inferior’, or any other form of statement saying any particular person is bad because of something which wad not done by them—no act of harm intentionally caused.
That said, I shall delete the comment which uses the name of the main character of the game series ‘Shadow Warrior’. Specifically, “It is (character name), sir. (First name) is (last name)”.
Joke as old as the first maps of Europe. Even before modern borders, people knew the Apennian Peninsula as “the boot” and the Scandinavian Penisnula as “dick and balls”.
