Red Faction (PS1, PC) - Just one of my favorite series. One of the early FPS’s with destructible environments. Continued with a series, RF 2, RF: Guerrilla, and RF: Armageddon. RF 1 and RF: Guerrilla are the best imo.
Indigo Prophecy, a.k.a. Fahrenheit (Xbox, PC) - “Interactive Drama” with a wild story. From the same studio and precursor for Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls, and Detroit: Become Human.
These ate just a couple off the top of my head that I haven’t already seen posted here.
Maybe I overlooked it, but I didn’t see any mention of Jade Empire yet. This is one of the master pieces from Biowares golden age. The setting and story are wonderful and they aced the characters and how you interact with them.
And Diablo II is also still a master piece of action RPG. The flow in playing it is masterfully done.
I am not sure if tfc (team fortress classic) still has servers running in any capacity, but it was one of the forefathers of role based, team shooters. It’s influence and by proxy TF2’s is still huge in competitive gaming.
It is a puzzle game like Myst but the puzzles make more sense, less like rubbing 2 coconuts on everything until they fit, and the world has more life to it.
I still think Metal Gear Solid 1,2, and 3 hold up very well in terms of story and gameplay. The controls take a bit of getting used to, if you're used to how modern games play, but once you get the hang of it they are really an experience.
MGS 1 was my first mature rated game, and I actually managed to stumble my 8 or 9 year old way through a decent portion of the game with no idea what I was doing before my mother threw it away (claiming I must have done something with it, which I never got punished for so I don’t think my dad believed)
When I was a teenager, the second one came out and I was hooked after playing the tanker level, even though I didn’t get to play as Snake.
Honestly I think 1&2 are the ones you really need to get used to. 3 has some wonky sections as the camera changes angles, but for the most part it’s pretty close to “modern action/rpg”
I feel like the only time I ever hear people talking about this series is in the context of memes like Revolver Ocelot (Revolver Ocelot). The games really don’t get enough love.
