I recently played Alien Isolation, and I noticed all of the “hacking” she does on doors and computers are different types of games, like press the button at the right time, or match the images within a timer, etc....
I disagree but I understand you… I don’t know why it didn’t click for me as an old Yu-Gi-Oh! Player (that is the only card game I have ever played… And several minutes of a “Duel Master” card game for GBA… Perhaps that one would trigger some old memories for some it was based on an anime too).
The best thing about this gen so far is the rise of handheld PCs
I’d like to think this is due the Chinese handhelds picking up where Nintendo left… (In its own way ofc 🏴☠️) and I’m glad I was a participant of this…
But I think it is mostly because of cloud gaming and Nintendo Switch inspiration.
I don’t have a current console gen (if you discard the Nintendo Switch) but I don’t want to skip it, I want a PS5 but granted I am not sure I’d get it if it wasn’t retro compatible with the huge backlog of PS4 games that I have… Even the Xbox with the game pass is feasible to me (something impossible to think for me, I have always been a Sony and Nintendo user).
Well, I know there are some good android gaming and iOS gaming communities on Reddit and perhaps here too, I know opinions are biased, but at least you should get human recommendations and interactions (for the most part I think) so I’d try searching there.

The nostalgia + the recent news about the sequel of BT3 got me, I decided to fire this up in my smartphone with my Razer Kishi and Aethersx2, so far it runs very well, although I decided to play the story, so I haven’t played that much with those new characters lol.
I’m starting to find that HUDs in games clutter the screen and take away from being fully immersed in the game. I like games that force you to pay attention to what’s going on in the game and not numbers/markers on the edges of the display. What are some of your favorite games to play with no HUD? Here are a few of mine:...
I’m on your side a bit, I mean, I hate getting lost, for me that ain’t immersion, having a HUD or being able to look beyond your usual sight scope is awesome and one of the best features of the videogames which are an escape of our mostly boring life.
With that being said, the other day I was playing BOTW (with HUD) in handheld mode in pitch dark (late night) with my headphones put on and I felt totally immersed more than when I play on my 50 inch TV, IDK, it just helps you to isolate in Hyrule that way I think.
I have never played a Baldurs game, but I’m planning to play this one when I eventually get a PS5… And I thought it would suck with conventional controllers.
I feel you bro, and the saddest thing is that I don’t even feel comfortable playing it when on vacation because it drains the battery as crazy lol, and I don’t enjoy using powerbanks.

Well, I’m on the side of the people who don’t like the soundtrack in the wild, for me it feels boring and uninspiring and don’t get me started with the shrine tracks lol, I’d rather put a playlist on my end of the old tracks if it supported Spotify like the PS4 does.
Aside from that, the world is pretty great, quite empty but never boring because it always has some subtle highlights which keeps you wondering, should I go to that place, should I go to that other place that I’m seeing?
These could be games that left a lasting impression on you, games that had stellar gameplay mechanics, characters that captivated you, games that you played tons of hours on, etc.
This was something I started wondering about when I was reading a thread about Star Citizen, and about how space combat flight games were much less-common than they had been at one point, how fans of the genre were hungry for new entrants....
I didn’t even find the Steep game entertaining mate, maybe it is because I never played SSX to begin with, but hell the latter still calls my attention!
Xenoblade Chronicles for Wii (I have yet to play the Switch version).
Ace Attorney Trilogy/ Hotel Dusk for Nintendo DS.
Kinda cheating in the third one, but I am not even sure these are my favorites, they are the ones I have played the most that is for sure (maybe honorable mention to Toy Story 2 for PS1 lol).
EDIT: Honorable mentions to Shadow of The Colossus and God of War 2018, heck it is almost impossible to narrow this down to 3 games.
I still get shivers just reminding how awesome that first look to the first colossus was… I was like… I need to kill THAT with this crappy bow and this weak sword??? (The arrows didn’t drain any significant life and the sword always bounced while hitting things).
Did he play online as well? Perhaps I might know him.
A sequel is much needed for sure, indeed I almost fell into this April’s fool video lol.
Anyway, maybe it would be of your interest, or your friend, to know that we still gather together to play JUS thanks to Wimmfi, there is a Discord server where we arrange battles, and even a tournament is on debate.
Although I haven’t played BOTW I saw my gf finish it, and I think you are correct, the “dungeons” feel pretty weak, I’d say even boring as a not focused spectator.
The OST wasn’t any memorable to me as well.
I didn’t play MM back in the days only recently played the 3DS version, and I think it had some quality of life improvements, to the degree that felt as cool as Ocarina of Time, indeed I prefer MM, although I don’t think it has the same replay value as the anxiety issues that it comes with for most people 😅
I’ve been thinking about making this thread for a few days. Sometimes, I play a game and it has some very basic features that are just not in every other game and I think to myself: Why is this not standard?! and I wanted to know what were yours....
That is one of the biggest disadvantages of the PC IMHO…
I remember what a pain in the ass is to achieve split screen in the Left 4 Dead game… Is that annoying that I actually got the Xbox 360 version to play with my gf lol.
