Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri. It made me realize that the future is not going to be people on spaceships. It will be bizarre and beautiful post-human intelligences. That’s what made me choose to study biology (although in retrospect I should have bet on silicon rather than carbon).
I’ll vote for the Civilization series as something that changed my life. It wasn’t a single profound experience when I “completed the game”. I’ve done that a number of times in multiple different versions of Civ. It was more the “aha” moments along the way. Learning about wonders of the world, hearing about different cultures. Thinking about how X led to Y. Civ taught me a lot of things, but more importantly, it made me curious so that I learned things outside the game.
There’s a number of the games that notably effected me after completion. Star Fox (SNES), Halo: Combat Evolved, Morrowind, KOTOR 1&2, Halo 3, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Dead Space, Hotline Miami, Undertale.
Its one of the other things i use to relax after Silk Song and i find it really interesting. Its not a clone of mario kart in that each car legit feels like it drives differently. And you have to play smart but can also play wildly because of the insane items and shortcuts.
I think it reminds me of Gran Turismo but with mario kart items. And Sonic music. I dont know if i just wanted something different and i am giving it more credit.
Played it as I was coming into adult life. This was my first roguelite. It sounds dumb…but it really stuck with me as a life lesson:
You can try your best and make sacrifices, and still end up unlucky with poor rewards. You get the opportunities you get, but even in this seeming randomness, you make choices to make the most of them. Training and skill makes up for some of the poor opportunities. Life is a roguelite.
Now I’ve got BoI on my Retroid Pocket 5 now. Still playing it.
Arthur Morgan was an incredible character. RDR2’s story is a masterpiece.
Hell I still choke up when I listen to the song Unshaken, even though that wasn’t quite at the point of the ending, they still got me emotional after that whole big part of the story.
I still have friends who haven’t beaten that game, and I feel like they’ve missed out on one of the most interesting characters developed in gaming recently. I’ve only ever been able to do the “good Arthur” playthrough though, so if most people played like how they play GTA, they might never get to know Arthur’s REDEMPTION.
YEAH! I have two friends who are very slowly going through the first few chapters, and I have to hood myself back from overwhelming them with encouragement because I don’t want to annoy them away from continuing it, hahaha
Oh yeah, that was a really interesting choice. You had to actually sacrifice something tangible to you as a player to get the “good ending” i really had to think over that one for a while
Any game like vampire survivors.
Passive bullet hells.
Literally people say its the thing they play when they dont have the energy for something else the way that people use fast food to replace cooking.
Easy to spin up and there are so many knockoffs that are “fine” but barely different.
It’s easy and pretty much automatic but filled with dopamine giving stimuli even if it wears off really fast. It makes it about as addictive as fast food too.
Finished Enotria: The Last Song and even did a quick NG+ run to get the secret ending and its achievement. Not going to bother with 100%-ing it, however. I really enjoyed my time with it overall. For a somewhat janky AA Soulslike it’s got a lot of charm and the Commedia Dell’Arte framing is great. Beautiful environments and some well designed levels, enough fun to be had with the skill tree, loadout switching, active abilities and elemental/status system. Not too hard (which is fine by me at this stage of my life) and short enough to not overstay its welcome. If you’re a Soulslike fan and can stomach AA games it’ll do the job if you’re done with the usual suspects. I still wouldn’t pay full price for it, but as part of the current €17 Humble Bundle it feels like good value and if you’re not interested in the other games in there then keep it in mind for a future deep sale.
Next I’m not sure. I started playing GRIME that I’ve had my eye on for a while and snagged recently when it was on an all-time low sale, but even though I can tell it’s really good it’s not grabbed me yet. Spooktober made me pirate Cronos: The New Dawn to try it and see if I like it, otherwise I have an impending Alan Wake 2 revisit planned. I still haven’t played the DLCs but I want to replay the Final Draft again first in preparation.
I made the mistake of buying the Europa Universalis IV base game, and getting 3 months of subscription for all DLCs… Im playing the Anbennar mod, which is a fantasy total conversion of the game. There goes the little bit of spare time I still have…
Glad people are enjoying Silksong, not my style of game but it sounds like a fantastic game for fans of the genre.
Still working on the legendary PvE armor in Guild Wars 2, gold is the biggest issue. I’m taking a break from that to play Borderlands 3, which is just leaps and bounds above Borderlands 2 gameplay wise. I got burned out of 2 when it got a bit harder towards the end and i really didn’t want to do a bunch of sidequests to hopefully get some better weapons, i just didn’t enjoy the gameplay anymore.
I also want to buy and play Hades II, but i don’t really have the time for that as well right now. Something to look forward to :)
For me it is the games with lot of sequels like assassins creed or those sport games i dont think it is necessary bad game. For me the fastfood tastes like ok not the best not worst so nothing surprises me i will get what i expect same it is for me with assassins creed i like those games and i know what to expect from them really a comfort game for me.
