I can’t remember which ones, but I recall some games out there that were putting out new console versions, and kind of sputtered when marketing them for PC.
It’s Game, from 15 years ago!
Yeah, we know. Steam still sells it.
But can it run in HD?
Yes.
Oh. Uh……is it really still available for sale?
Yeah, it-…Hey, wait, you just pulled it!
$60!
La-Mulana 1 and 2. They have excellent music, and more importantly, the exploration is a lot more interesting than most metroidvania games. This is because these games are all about puzzles, which come in the form of riddles, lateral thinking, and so forth. You don’t complete any area in one go - rather, each place you can go has information about the other zones, so you criss-cross and cross-reference, completing them piecemeal. Plus, there is a great deal of cultural architecture for each area, making them very distinct. If you want an lengthy and difficult metroidvania that is all about the details, this fits the bill.
The original freeware version of La-Mulana is also worth playing, due to the audio and graphics resembling what could be on the MSX computer.
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 had a mixed feeling about that one but it was a unique AC experience. Uncharted was amazing. I honestly miss my playstation because of it but given my life decisions I think steam deck would be the perfect choice.
I recently bought a PS3 just for the first 3 Uncharted games (I always play 4 on PC). But yeah, the Steam Deck has been my first gaming PC for a long time so i totally get it’s reliability (i bought it on launch). I only recently built a Gaming PC, and the deck is getting a well earned retirement as a Visual Novel and Halo PvP machine.
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
I’m not a retro gamer, but I also don’t really understand the appeal of 1:1 PC ports - in my mind you’d either want to go for the full experience with the original console and controllers, the CRT TVs they were designed for etc, and if you really wanted to play it on a modern device emulators fit the bill perfectly. Is there something special about the original code being ported to x86? At least remasters try to take some advantage of that modern hardware, although I understand it’s not the “same” game
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’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.
