I used to be that until I realised that the satisfaction of finishing a game is much better. Since I buy my games, I feel better when I finish the game that I bought
I feel like I have no freetime now and I used to somehow play games go drink do my homework and exams.. oh wait now I remember, 3-4 hours of sleep and ocassional allnighters, I was dissasociating and in a haze by graduation I didnt even shave or get a haircut, looked rough
I don’t feel like playing a lot too which is why you see a lot of gap between skyrim and rdr1. I have a lot of games installed rn but nothing gets finished. I only have one single player game at a time but been playing minecraft a lot with friends these days so thats where my time was going towards
So what made 2007 even better for you? I feel like that‘s important to know since these games didn‘t come out in 2025. You could‘ve played anything in 2007 that came out before that year.
That was almost 18 years ago so I dont remember much but i do remember playing SNES and NES games and some adobe flash games during that time. Nothing major happened during all these 18 years. My gaming activity peaked last year. Earlier years, I only used to finish 1-3 games tops. This year its almost 40. Yes. 40 games in a single year
It is… kind of. Hence the half-cheat. First off it’s 3D, but the game is completely centered around the Oldest House, which is the headquarters of the fictional FBC. Like a Metroidvania you explore and backtrack back and forth through it and unlock new areas opening up from previous places. There is also one (although only one) proper ability gate that lets you explore previously unreachable parts of earlier areas once unlocked.
Even if you don’t classify it as a true Metroidvania it’s definitely Metroidvania-inspired.
I would absolutely categorize Control as a metroidvania game. It has all the characteristics of one. I know some debate it because it’s so combat focused but aside from that it checks all the Metroidvania boxes.
I wanted to enjoy this game, but it gave me hardcore motion sickness after about 10 minutes. I haven’t had that happen in very many games, so it was notable in this one.
Sorry to hear that. In my opinion it’s a great fantastic metroidvania and puzzle game. It reminds me of Zelda and Portal too. Isn’t there a way to disable head bobbing in the settings or some other option to reduce the motion sickness? Have you tried reducing mouse speed? If noting helps then you could try contacting the developer about it. Maybe they can fix it.
Besides all the already mentionend games: Shadow Complex (2009) was a good game back then. Nothing special without any real story. But it was fun to play
It’s not explicitly 30+, but I think !retrogaming is one of the best active gaming communities on the Fediverse with a good mix of links and discussion, and the nature of the content certainly attracts older gamers.
The gameplay could have used a little work, but man as an overall experience Guardians of the Galaxy was pretty great. I’d love to see them get a sequel, or a similar game with a different super-team like the Exiles.
It’s a Metroidvania from before either Metroid or Castlevania. It still plays well, it’s still difficult, the puzzles are logical but require thought, and it’s several hours of gameplay to complete.
My backlog list has ~43 games in it. Most of which were dropped a few hours into the game. Those are by far, the toughest games that I mentally need to get back to and finish them
2007 was the time since i’ve been playing video games. This is the first year where I actually spent a lot of hours on gaming and finished a lot of games.
