Death Stranding

I went it to that totally blind and holy shit was it amazing. It's not even my usual type of game so I have no idea why I picked it up.

I love it when that happens with a game. Getting blindsided by something truly exceptional is such a surreal experience.

@eru777 If your game matches the one in the screenshot and you haven't played Tamriel Rebuit yet, do it!

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.

Because I'm halfway through it right now, and I think it'd be really funny if I started the game "for the first time" only to find that 1. there was already a save, 2. named what I name him, 3. with 12 hearts, and 4. on a Wii used only by me.

Pong or Tetris.

For real tho, maybe System Shock 2.
It's kinda short & the reparability isn't high/immediate (over the years as memory fades, I like to replay it).

Out of point-&-click adventure games, Grim Fandango - not to experience the story again for the first time, but the superb atmosphere.
Same reason for Dank Souls 2, I wanna go to Majula for the first time again, like a proper hollow that I am.

I love these kings of threads because there's always some unknown to me gem in there. I had never heard of this game, but your comment and the glowing reviews have me sold and excited to go check it out. Thank you, kind internet stranger.

World of Warcraft

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

Dark souls 1 maybe?
Or Bloodborne. Maybe XCOM Deus Ex sequels. I might need to play those again.

Adastra.

The month-long post-game depression is totally worth it.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and/or Explorers of Sky

final fantasy X

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

The non retrogaming answer is something like nomans sky where the game got better after release. But I dont wanna forget any of the old games I played and lose the memories that make me love them.
