For me, Elden Ring. I enjoy open world exploration and collecting-heavy games, and I also enjoy soulslikes for the strategic combat and variety of options. So ER was like two of my favorite ice cream flavors combined into one delicious meal.
I’m still surprised how well received it was, not because I disagree, but just because of the numbers. It’s currently sitting at 95% positive ratings on Steam, and that’s with 229k reviews, for a game that plays so different from what gamers expected out of FromSoft.
I was just reading some of the reviews on Steam the other night (because it’s my favorite game), and was pleasantly surprised to see that I was not alone in that view.
I got stuck on it and then stopped playing for so long that I feel that I need to start again. I do intend to start it again if I ever get the time to put into it.
He’s one of the first hard tests. You just gotta keep throwing yourself at him until it clicks. I went the other way and did Lady Butterfly which had its own pain. You have to play aggressively. Hesitation is defeat and all of that
Graphically it looks awesome too. At the native settings it would have had around 2012 it didn’t look to great, but after raising it to the max it looks really good. It can be crazy how future proofed older games are with graphic options.
One of the best things I’ve found for cleaning up older games is DLDSR. Hell, I try to use it on any game I can get away with, but on older games especially it’s great because you have so much excess FPS to play with that it’s basically free. The anti-aliasing effect of it is especially nice on older games and typically much better than the native AA solution.
This is really hard. Dungeon Master on the Amiga500 is up there, as is Unlimited Adventures. Today, these don't look so interesting, but man they were great at the time. Amiga also had a neat RPG maker as well whose name I can't recall.
The integration of politics in video games can sometimes overshadow the fun and immersive experience they’re meant to provide. While games like Fallout, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Bioshock use political themes to drive their narratives, it’s easy to see how players might feel lectured rather than entertained. Oddworld and Factorio highlight the negative impacts of unchecked capitalism and industrialization, but these messages can come off as heavy-handed. On the other hand, games like Cookie Clicker unblocked offer a lighthearted escape, where the goal is simply to amass cookies without any underlying political commentary. It’s a reminder that not all games need to have a message – sometimes, it’s okay to just enjoy the simple pleasure of clicking and collecting.
Baldurs Gate 3 anyone? I’m kind of shocked to not see it in here. I’ve never enjoyed a game more. Only sad thing is that there won’t be official dlcs or expansions… But then again there’s mod support! Other than that I really enjoy EU IV after 2k hours, but all-time-favorite? I don’t think so.
