You are wrong about borderlands as there is one more and it is pretty muc h perfect.
Tales from the Borderlands.
Shame they never made a sequel for it but the artistry, music and story are all so well crafted. Someone loved Borderlands making that.
I played and beat the first game, but couldn’t tell you the story if my life depended on it. I’m surprised it got a sequel, the first game wasn’t universally well met even though I had fun with it.
I was confused because Google said the release was 2023, but I guess it was early access during that time. If the have a demo I’ll check it out!
Missing crossplay really sucks. I theoretically have an enthusiastic squad … too bad one player only has a PlayStation while me and the other person have PCs.
Yep it’s really whack. Sucks too because I have 2 distinct squads. A crew from college and a crew from high school. One on PlayStation and one on PC… Like I could buy it on both I suppose but that just sucks lol
That seems like a massive oversight. That’s so weird. I get it’s probably way easier to implement it the way they did. But because you likely will wana group with friends, it really limits people
I feel your pain lol. I had an old account that was Mojang that was going to give to my siblings last month so they could play modded with me (they have been begging for ages ever since I bought them a Steam Deck for Christmas) and I find out the account is just gone because I didn’t transfer it. I’m pissed about it because that’s 20$ gone.
ahhhh you beat me to it. i was tryna line it up with the release day! lol
Well…i wish i had more to say about the game itself aside from my preview thoughts. I love the Souls games but have not gotten around to Elden Ring specifically. Seems like they nailed the “ER but more multiplayer” feel that they were going for, and I think that’s sick as hell.
Yeah I’m lucky enough that I have a squad that’s all very into elden ring on the same system to play with. But if you don’t have that it sounds like a pretty miserable time. Really hope they add cross play and balance single player more
Fez - cute little 2D/3D platformer. It’s amazing and very wholesome
Stalker: Shadow of Chenrobyl - dunno what exactly is it, perhaps the settings and the grit, but it has a special place in my heart. It’s about average FPS, but not too long and for me enjoyable
F.E.A.R. - very good FPS, with amazingly scripted enemies, decent horror elements (not compulsory - you might miss some of them if you’re not looking).
Prince of Persia: Warrior Within - for me the best 3rd person action adventure ever. Best combat hands down (or head, or torso, you choose), streamlined blade dance at your fingertips. You play with your enemies, and you get many tools. There are some locked camera issues.
Touhou: Lost branch of time - If you liked Slay the Spire, but wished for colorful mana, this is the game for you. It has anime artstyle, I usually focus on the cards, though it might turn some people off
Dota 2 - Dunno if it was mentioned and I didn’t see, but the mechanics are absolutely amazing, the things the game lets you get away with are incredible. 10/10, but other people might bring your experience down. Specially friends. Can play against custom (workshop) bots. Still takes too long to git gud. I studied the game for 10 years and still sucked.
Divinity 2: Original Sin - also haven’t seen a mention, everybody talks about BG3, I haven’t yet played it, but D2:OS was also a masterpiece. Haven’t played a lot of TRPGs, this was a blast, with easily set up multiplayer. Played through it twice completely, with many abandoned runs.
CS 1.6 - remember that? I lost my childhood to that. They don’t make counter strikes this good anymore.
Synthetik - top-down rougelike shooter, with amazing weapons and physics and classes and enemies and mechanics and 2 person multiplayer
Dwarf Fortress - the real objectively best game :D strategy simulation of the 3D box world, predecesor to both Minecraft and Terraria, but with A LOT more sand in your box. They are still extending it. And it’s on Steam if you want a UI.
Terraria (Calamity mod) - Terraria is obviously a great game, but what makes it 20/10 is the mods. Calamity specifically. Tripple the content, 5x the difficulty (20x if you try Infernum), amazing multiplayer experience. Don’t install Infernum if you haven’t beaten at least Revengeance on Calamity. Trust me, it will fuck you up.
Yakuza 0 - how could I forget about this masterpiece? Story done absolutely right, that game had no business making me feel so strongly about it. Cool combat, very funny moments, but I cried during it. If you haven’t tried it, check it out. You won’t regret it.
OpenTTD - Trains. Do you like to create and manage big rail systems? This is for you. And your friends. Only noobs use planes. Only psychos use boats. Nobody uses only vehicles.
I love STALKER with all my heart, and if we’re talking atmosphere and vibes and even world building it is up there. But it does not really belong in the objective masterpiece category. Flawed masterpiece, maybe.
Also I think Call of Pripyat is the better STALKER game, but it might be controversial.
I love that you included 1.6. I spent my all teenage years staying up all night playing this. I was thinking single player epics but this is absolutely a masterpiece.
Yeah, me too… man, I would play 16+ hours on some weekends… I was kinda good, too. Too young, but godly reflexes. I still think about those days sometimes…
I’ll sit and watch old matches from of semi finals from 2004. Every round. I can’t get enough of the strategy and presicion. I’m so grateful for the memories and friends but also sad because, how do you replicate an era like that? A game that perfect? ESEA, HLTV demos, frag movies, forums. It was the best man.
Disco Elysium is definitely closer to the visual novel spectrum of video games than it is to something like Tetris. But make no mistakes, its narrative and impact would be much lessened were it delivered in any other medium. It is absolutely a perfect example of how you use video games to make art.
How do you even begin to care about anything in that game when you are basically mashing buttons for hours and just listening to people complain about how shit life is?
I get its an art piece of living the existence you are thrown into but it feels like a confusing mess even gameplay wise for the starting hours that people that have finished it I feel miss how unfun it is at first.
I didn’t even know why I was now stuck on the other side of a wall in a union dispute and I just couldn’t be bothered to restart the game to try something else after how long it took to get dressed the first time.
