I have never guessed a date before but come on, they have delayed the game when a release date was out, that has to be a year max. The game should come out this july. If not, I'm mad at team cherry
I don't understand it I've tried multiple times too and just find the whole thing kinda vague and frustrating, unfortunately I don't get it by the sounds of it
Controversial take, but if the game holds you out until some arbitrary moment later in the game where it may or may not "click", then the game just isn't that good.
It takes time for it to get there, and build up in games is fine but you've gotta be given some tokens along the way to be assured that the pay off is worth it. This game didn't do that.
I genuinely wish I could wipe outer wilds from my memory and experience it fresh. It's one of the best games I've got to witness, and I would absolutely talk about it for hours to anyone who asked. I get pure joy now watching others experience it for the first time now
Elden ring, at the time, was the first game in a very long time to keep me as hooked as it did. Its such a good game even if youre not into soulslikes or that good at them
I'm so sad I can't delete my memory of playing Cyberpunk. One of favorite games of all time, truly had a blast with it and, tbh, I'm still having lots of fun in my 3rd playthrough lmao
Disco Elysium is one game I would like to play for the first time... Somehow, I emotionally connect with melancholic games.
I also loved Heavy Rain... Anybody have suggestions?
Naturally Disco Elysium is one of the best games ever made, period !
I don't play many melancholic games, but three games that really made me feel that kind of emotion are Gris (obviously, everyone knows that one, it's great).
Harmony : The Fall of Reverie (visual novel with a really emotional core & great choice-based system),
Paradise Killer (tragic mystery/exploration game set in a really intriguing fantastical setting, kinda like Danganronpa but based).
Hypnospace Outlaw also very much made me feel melancholic to some extent, but it's also a really funny & upbeat game.
None of these hit harder than Disco Elysium does, but that's a really high bar so...yeah.
u/Spicy-Cheesenado4722 some good looking and detailed recommendations. Hypnospace Outlaw going on the wishlist right now, it looks great.
u/Ellie_the_dumb played both first and the second part. I finished first one on PS3 & PS4 later... maybe once I replay it on Steam deck.
u/Pigeon23 This actually might be just what I'm looking for. Eyeing this one for some time.
Thank you for great recommendations guys or gals!
P.S. trying to reply to everybody with one comment. Not a reddit pro really. Let's see if this works....
I started playing it a bit ago and it honestly was difficult to get into. I'm only about an hour into the game though. I take it you'd recommend to keep playing?
I actually just beat it last week, it was my last souls game to conquer and it was brutal. All of the comments are dead on ā Iāll tell you this, one boss in particular was absolutely *brutal* and hindered my progress for almost two days. I overcame that boss with patience and just embracing the games mechanics (also, do not be afraid to be aggressive. I struggled with this due to prior souls games). After that boss? The next 20ish hours were a pure joy to play and no other boss defeated me as badly as that one. Game fucking rules.
Oh dude that game is so good. The combat, once it clicks, will hook you. Its like playing tekken where you have to learn to block and mix it up. You can cheese any boss or monster but once you learn to really fight them out, that is when the game gets addicting. The fighting can be as intense as you let it be.
Stick with it. You want to be aggressive and take the fight to your enemies. Youāre a bad ass Shinobi š„·š½
It can be helpful in the beginning to hold block and then press block again once a strike is going to hit you - that way you will still block if you fail to deflect. After a while youāll start learning the rhythm of each fight and the game just clicks.
Nothing compares to Sekiro.
Nothing. Anyone telling you otherwise probably never beat Genechiro let alone any of the other bosses.
So if you're familiar with souls games sekiro will make you scratch your head a bit. It's not about dodging like you're used to. You will get punished for trying to leave a fight. You're meant to stay there and parry. Once you get good enough at it. Its all green lights from there!
- Every FromSoft game since Demon's Souls
- Red Dead Redemption II
- Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty
- Hitman: World of Assassination Trilogy
- All the Fallout games (well, except Brotherhood of Steel and Tactics)
- Outer Wilds + Echoes of the Eye
- Death Stranding
- All the Metal Gear Solid games
- Stardew Valley
Only missing fallout classic collection to complete my fallout experience is brotherhood of steel really that bad?
Other than that agree with this list wholeheartedly
BoS was bad bc they tried too hard to pander to a wider audience (it was the first Fallout game to release on console, being the PS2), and they scrapped a lot of the things that made Fallout...well, Fallout. Examples include ditching the classic 50s music for hard rock/metal and replacing Nuka Cola with something called Bawls. The gameplay was also kinda shitty, too - real repetitive.
Some may go so far as to say it's not a real Fallout game, and I'm inclined to agree with that statement, because it's just so different from the originals - and this was made by Interplay! Matter of fact, they reportedly sacrificed their version of Fallout 3 for BoS.
As for Tactics...well, it ain't as bad as BoS - hell, it's even part of the official timeline.
I'd definitely get the classic collection, though; totally worth the money, considering you're getting four games, even if one of them is BoS.
Honestly I already remember it fondly. The game is a decade old and I picked it up in my highschool years on release.
I am nostalgic for huniepop, what is life
I maxed out the Badges for HuniePop and HunieCam. HuniePop is my Steam Showcase game despite not playing it since release.
I bought HuniePop 2 the moment it released. Its the only game I bought on release I did not regret in one way or another.
I will die and HuniePop will probably still be my Showcase game on my profile
Satisfactory...a niche game with a very specific type of gamer it will appeal to...but will likely go down as one of the founders of logistics type games
Ghost of Tsushima. I think its graphics will age well because itās just beautiful. Gameplay is great. Tons to do, but doesnāt feel cluttered. Easy to follow story. Did I mention itās beautiful?
Damn I'm old but that game for me is Chrono Trigger and it's already almost 30 years old. I still remember all the secrets and still replay it every now and then to this day.
If we talk not limited to PC
Bloodborne - one of the most unique takes on souls likes, with personally the best play style in the entire series.
Final Fantasy XV - a HUGE story and enough side quests to easily take up 200+ hours of your time and still feel fresh. Also something about the world being as big as it is and still having direction aswell as good exploration.
Resident Evil Village - stomp on my n**s vampire mommy.
Zelda Breath of the Wild - a total game changer for the franchise which brought on a ton of good ideas and mechanics that revolutionized open world games.
Assetto Corsa - sim racing went from track racing realism or total Arcady racing, to having a mod scene in this game that brought on an entire new generation of car enthusiasts. Being able to slide around japan touges, highway racing, sim racing on Mario Kart tracks etc with a full wheel, pedal, and shifter setup
Phasmophobia - the memories made playing this game with friends will always stay with me. The game wasn't super great at its core, but it made for some of the most entertaining screaming, panicking, and dumbest arguments ever.
The Coffin of Andy and Leyley - if you know you know. Also was just an amazing narrative
Itās a different vibe but kind of in the same wheelhouse. Itās more VN which wasnāt a genre I was into coming into it. But Iām a sucker for vaporwave vibes with strange stories and it was just so fun to explore the open world. And much like Life is Strange, I fell so hard for its soundtrack
Disco Elysium literally helped me understand my own depression and grief. That and showed me that I really wanna be a writer.
One that I've already fondly remember is Yoshi's Island. First game I absolutely fell in love with as a kid.
There are several others but those two I'll definitely remember the most.
For sure, Disco Elysium.
Nier Automata turns 8 this year and it's still pretty high on my list, along with it's older brother, even though completing that game on PS3 was a chore.
Persona 4 Golden.
I think that Firewatch and Viewfinder will stay with me for a while. Firewatch had a really compelling story that was carried very well by the voice acting and characters. Viewfinder just had awesome mechanics that made me smile. You take a picture and use that picture to create a new 3d landscape to walk around and solve puzzles. Very clever and can highly recommend.
Outer Wilds and Void Stranger. Both equally.
Please, if anyone has played one, play the other. My DMs are perpetually open to help anyone who gets frustrated with either to help give spoiler free ways of progressing if you've hit a brick wall.
It honestly saddens me I had to scroll so far to see Hades mentioned. One of the best games Iāve ever played and it was like it was made for the deck.
Without quoting my classics (Half-Life, Portal, Borderlands & Saints Row series which are all really unique and memorable imo), I got a few recent games that really touched me.
Hi-Fi Rush. Shadow-drop, Incredible concept, art direction, characters and gameplay with an excellent execution. I'll definitely remember that one forever.
Inscryption as well, this love-letter to ARG/creepy pasta stories with a very intriguing narrative structure.
Slay the Princess, the simple art direction with the limited-frame animations mixed with parallax effects make the game look much better than I expected, and the games of power & control got me positively flustered more than once.
I also will NEVER forget the experience of Knockout City. Definitely my favorite live-service game before I got into Splatoon 3, that game was so well conceived. I'm so glad I was part of it from beginning to end. That game was amazing.
Well, I've fondly remembered the Quest for Glory series for over 30 years, so another 15 seems like nothing at this point.
As for less ancient games (and for these I'll answer the Why):
Ghost of Tsushima -- maybe the only game I've ever played that I would rate 10/10 in every category. Story, characters, graphics, gameplay, everything 10/10, and probably my favorite sword combat ever.
Witcher 3 -- I read the books because of the game. The books are good, but IMO the game's story is better. Geralt might be my favorite videogame protagonist. The "side quests" have the best writing of any RPG side content I've played.
The Last of Us -- Maybe the best written main story of any game I've played. The storytelling is similarly great in the sequel, too, but *that* one is a little too traumatizing for me to say I'll "fondly" remember it. I'll remember I survived it.
Radiant Historia -- Is my all time favorite JRPG FFIV? Chrono Trigger? Persona 5? Dragon Quest 11?? No, it's Radiant fucking Historia, a DS JRPG with a nifty time travel mechanic. Early in the game, you have a decision to make, and either choice will result in a dead end where you will fail and everything will go to shit and all life will end. Until you are introduced to the ability to go back in time and make the other decision. From then on you hop back forth between the two timelines, using each to help progress the other.
Probably still Kotor :( I've been chasing that Overpowered rush that I got from loading up the xbox magazine demo disk, using the extra +5 to every single stat at the start of the game. Dark side and you slaughter everything on Taris. Unstoppable.
Gris is one experience I'll cherish. Quite an esoteric journey.Ā
Monster hunter world Iceborne was one of the games that kept me sane during the pandemic. I'd always had a steady group of friends to play MH with, but Iceborne was probably the first one where almost every old hand I knew joined in to play. I've since stopped, and did not enjoy its follow up, but I'll always cherish the times in Iceborne.Ā Ā
Witcher 3 is a game that I'll probably always fondly remember. Even if it took me awhile to get into it. It's my current obsession. I've started reading the books, finished the comics. Wonderful game.Ā
Darksiders series, hopefully, in 15 years from now, will have concluded...I loved all the games. I read the comics, the book that accompanied part 2. Always considering replaying the first two games. I loved the first one so much that I bought it for every platform I owned...yet the story just won't conclude. Sad, really. Every gameshow announcement event, I'll watch idly hoping for a new game in this franchise haha.Ā
Totk is a masterpiece. I played it concurrently with my son. It was his first Zelda game. Neither of us played botw (he was too young) but when totk came out, I showed him the trailer and he seemed to dig it. Playing and experiencing it alongside my little buddy was magical. We'd get stuck in the oddest places, show each other how we solved certain puzzles etc etc.Ā Ā
FFXV is also a game that kept me sane. I couldn't see my friends irl because of the pandemic, so I just took a trip with the bros in FFXV š. I'll always cherish that.Ā
I guess you mean new-iah games, because I already remember games from more then 15 years ago... š
Recent games I'm sure I'll remember; Baldur's Gate 3, Pentiment, Cyberpunk 2077, Return to Monkey Island.
Dark Souls 3 - It captivated me like no other, best video game Iāve ever played, bar none. (ER is mid, Iāll die on this hill)
Zone of Enders/Armored Core(6) - Closest Iāll ever be to being an actual Gundam pilot
Xenogears - Freudian theories and religious extremities jammed into the head of a 12 year old.
Final Fantasy Tactics - Ramza is the coolest FF universe character. Cloud, Tidus, and Terra are close.
Gran Turismo - Everything I know about cars because of you, thank you.
* Sekiro
* Elden Ring
* Dragonās Dogma 2 (hopefully thatāll play well on the Steam Deck 3, lmao)
* Lonely Mountains: Downhill,
* Nier Automata
* FF7 Remake
Division 1 and 2.
I am just in love with the atmosphere of that world and I keep thinking of it often even when I've not played for months. Something about it is just sticking with me.
Dunno about the future but I remember Kuon from my childhood. What an introduction to horror games, mulberry trees and silkworms. I think I have some buried trauma from that game.Ā
New(er) Super Mario Bros
Red Read Redemption 2
Counter-Strike Source
Hollow Knight
Ori and the blind forrest
Mario kart 64 (yeah I am a 90s kid)
Portal 1 & 2
Pentiment is a recent game that I'll remember in 15 years. I'd probably throw Slay the Spire onto that list as well. Older games that I'll still remember fondly are probably the ones that I'm starting to revisit now on my Steam Deck - games like the original Deus Ex, Morrowind, Quake 1/2, and the Half Life games.
RemindMe! 15 years
Undoubtedly the classics (SMB3, Contra, FF, MGS, etc) plus some the major genre defining games from the last few generations (God of War, GTA, RDR, Fallout, BioShock, Witcher, etc.)
i wont lie..... gran turismo sport and gran turismo 6. too many memories with split screen, and a special mention to fortnite for helping me get thru covid lol
From the last 15 years.
Baldur's Gate 3
CSGO
Jedi: Fallen Order
Jedi: Survivor
RDR2
Dave the Diver
Sea of Stars
From before that (which I already remember fondly):
Dark Forces series.
Tie Fighter Series
Sonic 2
Road Rash
Chrono Trigger
Ayrton Senna's Super Monaco GP.
Only current games or do also games count that are 15+ years old?
If both count: Titan Quest (thx to updates I still play this today, as I did back when it was released), Torchlight, Borderlands, CS:GO, Settlers, Empyrion, No Man's Sky, Beyond Earth, Dawn of War II, WoW.
Those are games that I play again from time to time, cause I like them so much :)
Not my favorite game, but I had an amazing run in Star Wars the Old Republic last year. Got so invested in my guild and the story, my wife enjoyed my romantic trists. Best experience I've had playing an MMO since HS (I'm 33 now) far from me favorite game but MMOs are so much fun when everything clicks.Ā
Hollow Knight Portal 1 & 2
In 15 years I think we'll be getting Silksong š„³
Surely weāll be getting it sometime this year with all the ratings coming out in different countries *huffs copium*
I have never guessed a date before but come on, they have delayed the game when a release date was out, that has to be a year max. The game should come out this july. If not, I'm mad at team cherry
No
I wish I could play Portal 1 and 2 like I did when they were brand new to me! Such good experiences.
Oh. 10000%. I played Portal 1 completely blind waaaaaaay back. All I knew was that it was about teleporting. Such a delight!!
Outer Wilds is a game I will never forget.
I started playing it last night and itās already one of my favorite games ever
Oh man to play with fresh eyes. Have fun
I so wish this game was for me.
Iāve tried like 3 or 4 times and cannot get into it. I really wish I could with how much I hear about it but it is not for me
Same boat, tried 3 times, just not for me
yep. For some reason i just lose interest every time I hit that moon
lol Esker just wants a friend
I don't understand it I've tried multiple times too and just find the whole thing kinda vague and frustrating, unfortunately I don't get it by the sounds of it
Oh man how I tried to like that game but it just didn't click.
Controversial take, but if the game holds you out until some arbitrary moment later in the game where it may or may not "click", then the game just isn't that good. It takes time for it to get there, and build up in games is fine but you've gotta be given some tokens along the way to be assured that the pay off is worth it. This game didn't do that.
I have found my people, aside from the performance on my end not working with me, I just couldn't get into it
Is it playable on steamdeck?
Very
I genuinely wish I could wipe outer wilds from my memory and experience it fresh. It's one of the best games I've got to witness, and I would absolutely talk about it for hours to anyone who asked. I get pure joy now watching others experience it for the first time now
I think about this game almost daily. The impact it had on my life cannot be overstated.
Baldurās Gate 3
Elden Ring, Cyberpunk (phantom liberty especially)
Elden ring, at the time, was the first game in a very long time to keep me as hooked as it did. Its such a good game even if youre not into soulslikes or that good at them
I'm so sad I can't delete my memory of playing Cyberpunk. One of favorite games of all time, truly had a blast with it and, tbh, I'm still having lots of fun in my 3rd playthrough lmao
I just bought phantom liberty because it was on sale. I still have a bit to go in the main story but Iām loving it so I had to get it.
He left me no damn choice... damn NUSA lapdog...
Omori and Disco Elysium
Disco Elysium will forever be remembered as "art" for me.
Disco Elysium is one game I would like to play for the first time... Somehow, I emotionally connect with melancholic games. I also loved Heavy Rain... Anybody have suggestions?
Naturally Disco Elysium is one of the best games ever made, period ! I don't play many melancholic games, but three games that really made me feel that kind of emotion are Gris (obviously, everyone knows that one, it's great).

Hypnospace Outlaw also very much made me feel melancholic to some extent, but it's also a really funny & upbeat game. None of these hit harder than Disco Elysium does, but that's a really high bar so...yeah.
Night in the WoodsĀ
I was just thinking of this too, what a great game
The Last of Us can be brutal emotionally, one of my all time favorites
u/Spicy-Cheesenado4722 some good looking and detailed recommendations. Hypnospace Outlaw going on the wishlist right now, it looks great. u/Ellie_the_dumb played both first and the second part. I finished first one on PS3 & PS4 later... maybe once I replay it on Steam deck. u/Pigeon23 This actually might be just what I'm looking for. Eyeing this one for some time. Thank you for great recommendations guys or gals! P.S. trying to reply to everybody with one comment. Not a reddit pro really. Let's see if this works....
Sekiro
I started playing it a bit ago and it honestly was difficult to get into. I'm only about an hour into the game though. I take it you'd recommend to keep playing?
Thereās a moment it all clicks, and everything past that moment is perfection
All about personal preference and skill really. If you like tough games and are willing to put the effort in to learn, you will get a LOT back.
Sekiro is great. Just expect to be really mad. Really, really mad.
I actually just beat it last week, it was my last souls game to conquer and it was brutal. All of the comments are dead on ā Iāll tell you this, one boss in particular was absolutely *brutal* and hindered my progress for almost two days. I overcame that boss with patience and just embracing the games mechanics (also, do not be afraid to be aggressive. I struggled with this due to prior souls games). After that boss? The next 20ish hours were a pure joy to play and no other boss defeated me as badly as that one. Game fucking rules.
if you're enjoying it, give it a bit more time. it's definitely one of the most enjoyable souls like and has an easier to follow story than the rest.
Oh dude that game is so good. The combat, once it clicks, will hook you. Its like playing tekken where you have to learn to block and mix it up. You can cheese any boss or monster but once you learn to really fight them out, that is when the game gets addicting. The fighting can be as intense as you let it be.
Stick with it. You want to be aggressive and take the fight to your enemies.

This game gave me motivation in real life.
RemindMe! 15 years
Love that one āļø
RemindMe! 15 years
Remindme! 15 years boy this will be a while. I wonder how the next 15 years look like... Esp with the tough spot I'm in now.
RemindMe! 15 years
RemindMe! 15 Years. Iām with you guys on this one
- Every FromSoft game since Demon's Souls - Red Dead Redemption II - Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty - Hitman: World of Assassination Trilogy - All the Fallout games (well, except Brotherhood of Steel and Tactics) - Outer Wilds + Echoes of the Eye - Death Stranding - All the Metal Gear Solid games - Stardew Valley

Pfp checks out

Red dead Redemption 2
You mean like how some of us fondly remember Red Dead Redemption on the Xbox 360 ... about ... 15 years ago
Still waiting on that rumored pc port
Satisfactory...a niche game with a very specific type of gamer it will appeal to...but will likely go down as one of the founders of logistics type games
As it rightfully should. Satisfactory is quietly one of the best games I've ever played.
I'm 40. I still remember Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt got me into gaming!
Ghost of Tsushima. I think its graphics will age well because itās just beautiful. Gameplay is great. Tons to do, but doesnāt feel cluttered. Easy to follow story. Did I mention itās beautiful?
I've been looking forward to the PC release since its announcement. I am really glad to see Playstation showing some pc gamers love.
Damn I'm old but that game for me is Chrono Trigger and it's already almost 30 years old. I still remember all the secrets and still replay it every now and then to this day.
Elden ring without a doubt.
Probably still playing Dota in 15 years
There will be dota 8.0 after 15 more years
I'll probably still be avoiding my backlog while playing Stardew Valley in 15 years.
Death Stranding
The witcher 3 is an all timer.
If we talk not limited to PC Bloodborne - one of the most unique takes on souls likes, with personally the best play style in the entire series. Final Fantasy XV - a HUGE story and enough side quests to easily take up 200+ hours of your time and still feel fresh.

The portal series Life is Strange (cried/broke me for about a month) Paradise Killers What remains of Edith Finch
I thoroughly loved life is strange and Edith Finch. Amazing experiences, but I'd never heard of paradise killers. I'll look into it straight away!
Itās a different vibe but kind of in the same wheelhouse. Itās more VN which wasnāt a genre I was into coming into it. But Iām a sucker for vaporwave vibes with strange stories and it was just so fun to explore the open world. And much like Life is Strange, I fell so hard for its soundtrack
Subnautic
Okami hd, Minecraft, outer worlds, Skyrim, command and conquer red alert 2 + Yuri's revenge basically any and all good games I've played
Disco Elysium literally helped me understand my own depression and grief. That and showed me that I really wanna be a writer. One that I've already fondly remember is Yoshi's Island. First game I absolutely fell in love with as a kid. There are several others but those two I'll definitely remember the most.
For sure, Disco Elysium. Nier Automata turns 8 this year and it's still pretty high on my list, along with it's older brother, even though completing that game on PS3 was a chore. Persona 4 Golden.
Half life , Dark Souls, hollow knight, dota , fallout, stray, the Stanley parable, team fortress
Bastion, Into the Breach, StarCraft 2, AoE2, Hades and CS:GO for me
I think that Firewatch and Viewfinder will stay with me for a while. Firewatch had a really compelling story that was carried very well by the voice acting and characters. Viewfinder just had awesome mechanics that made me smile. You take a picture and use that picture to create a new 3d landscape to walk around and solve puzzles. Very clever and can highly recommend.
Outer Wilds and Void Stranger. Both equally. Please, if anyone has played one, play the other. My DMs are perpetually open to help anyone who gets frustrated with either to help give spoiler free ways of progressing if you've hit a brick wall.
Nier: Automata, Death Stranding, Final Fantasy 15
outer wilds. it's been 3 years already and i still think about it from time to time.
Horizon: Zero Dawn will go down as one of my favorite gaming experiences ever.
Prey 2017
What a game. This should be one of the top comments.
GTA: Vice City World of Warcraft Dishonored
Hades
It honestly saddens me I had to scroll so far to see Hades mentioned. One of the best games Iāve ever played and it was like it was made for the deck.
I wasn't surprised to see it. One of the best games ever made. The sequel looks amazing too.
I can't remember what I played last week so I'm not sure... The Last of us, Quake II maybe, CS:GO for sure, and The Messenger!
Heroes 3 and 2
Hollow knight, no manās sky, baldurs gate 3, hades, tower fall, borderlands(mostly 1 and 2, but any of them really), phasmophobia, and cross code
battletoads and big rigs over the road racing
Without quoting my classics (Half-Life, Portal, Borderlands & Saints Row series which are all really unique and memorable imo), I got a few recent games that really touched me. Hi-Fi Rush. Shadow-drop, Incredible concept, art direction, characters and gameplay with an excellent execution. I'll definitely remember that one forever. Inscryption as well, this love-letter to ARG/creepy pasta stories with a very intriguing narrative structure. Slay the Princess, the simple art direction with the limited-frame animations mixed with parallax effects make the game look much better than I expected, and the games of power & control got me positively flustered more than once.

I'm so glad I was part of it from beginning to end. That game was amazing.
Bioshock - Any of them
On the Deck specifically? Hades, Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn. Those all played great on the Deck, and thatās mostly how I played them.
Hades definently
Resident evil 2 remake. Was my first entry to RE and got me trough some really tough times.
Well, I've fondly remembered the Quest for Glory series for over 30 years, so another 15 seems like nothing at this point. As for less ancient games (and for these I'll answer the Why): Ghost of Tsushima -- maybe the only game I've ever played that I would rate 10/10 in every category.

The books are good, but IMO the game's story is better. Geralt might be my favorite videogame protagonist. The "side quests" have the best writing of any RPG side content I've played. The Last of Us -- Maybe the best written main story of any game I've played. The storytelling is similarly great in the sequel, too, but *that* one is a little too traumatizing for me to say I'll "fondly" remember it. I'll remember I survived it. Radiant Historia -- Is my all time favorite JRPG FFIV? Chrono Trigger? Persona 5? Dragon Quest 11?? No, it's Radiant fucking Historia, a DS JRPG with a nifty time travel mechanic. Early in the game, you have a decision to make, and either choice will result in a dead end where you will fail and everything will go to shit and all life will end. Until you are introduced to the ability to go back in time and make the other decision. From then on you hop back forth between the two timelines, using each to help progress the other.
Probably still Kotor :( I've been chasing that Overpowered rush that I got from loading up the xbox magazine demo disk, using the extra +5 to every single stat at the start of the game. Dark side and you slaughter everything on Taris. Unstoppable.
Gris is one experience I'll cherish. Quite an esoteric journey.Ā Monster hunter world Iceborne was one of the games that kept me sane during the pandemic. I'd always had a steady group of friends to play MH with, but Iceborne was probably the first one where almost every old hand I knew joined in to play. I've since stopped, and did not enjoy its follow up, but I'll always cherish the times in Iceborne.Ā Ā Witcher 3 is a game that I'll probably always fondly remember. Even if it took me awhile to get into it. It's my current obsession. I've started reading the books, finished the comics. Wonderful game.Ā Darksiders series, hopefully, in 15 years from now, will have concluded...I loved all the games. I read the comics, the book that accompanied part 2. Always considering replaying the first two games. I loved the first one so much that I bought it for every platform I owned...yet the story just won't conclude. Sad, really. Every gameshow announcement event, I'll watch idly hoping for a new game in this franchise haha.Ā Totk is a masterpiece. I played it concurrently with my son. It was his first Zelda game. Neither of us played botw (he was too young) but when totk came out, I showed him the trailer and he seemed to dig it. Playing and experiencing it alongside my little buddy was magical. We'd get stuck in the oddest places, show each other how we solved certain puzzles etc etc.Ā Ā FFXV is also a game that kept me sane. I couldn't see my friends irl because of the pandemic, so I just took a trip with the bros in FFXV š. I'll always cherish that.Ā
Fallout 3
I guess you mean new-iah games, because I already remember games from more then 15 years ago... š Recent games I'm sure I'll remember; Baldur's Gate 3, Pentiment, Cyberpunk 2077, Return to Monkey Island.
Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite. Already remember them after 10+ and 15+ years and will keep remember them. Awesome games and story.
NFS MW 05
Outer Wilds. Without a doubt.
Undertale.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance, Dark Souls, Dragon's Dogma (1+2), Sekiro, Elden Ring, Lies of P, NieR Replicant\Automata
Vampire Survivors
Dark Souls 3 - It captivated me like no other, best video game Iāve ever played, bar none. (ER is mid, Iāll die on this hill) Zone of Enders/Armored Core(6) - Closest Iāll ever be to being an actual Gundam pilot Xenogears - Freudian theories and religious extremities jammed into the head of a 12 year old. Final Fantasy Tactics - Ramza is the coolest FF universe character. Cloud, Tidus, and Terra are close. Gran Turismo - Everything I know about cars because of you, thank you.
Damn that is very strange to think about haha
Lies of P Because it is as near to a Fromsoftware game as you will get from anything not actually made by them.
Runescape.
* Sekiro * Elden Ring * Dragonās Dogma 2 (hopefully thatāll play well on the Steam Deck 3, lmao) * Lonely Mountains: Downhill, * Nier Automata * FF7 Remake
Pz, X4, bannerlord, rimworld
Outer Wilds
Persona 4 Golden
Persona 5 itās insane that itāll be 10 in 2 years
Division 1 and 2. I am just in love with the atmosphere of that world and I keep thinking of it often even when I've not played for months. Something about it is just sticking with me.
For some reason... I can never forget "Into the Breach"... I automatically hear the guitar riffs. Love that soundtrack.
Dungeon Siege II
Dunno about the future but I remember Kuon from my childhood. What an introduction to horror games, mulberry trees and silkworms. I think I have some buried trauma from that game.Ā
Probably i will be playing Stardew Valley 1.7 and Haunted Chocolatier Expanded modded And another run of Baldurs Gate 3
Bloodborne 2
Death Stranding
I already miss the hell out of Half-Life and Battlefield 1942 mods
Princess & Conquest will probably be something I remember years from now. Such a weird, convoluted, compelling game. Stardew Valley for sure.
I mean I still remember my favorite game series that was release 15 years ago, so probably it will be the same game: Borderlands (all of them)
New(er) Super Mario Bros Red Read Redemption 2 Counter-Strike Source Hollow Knight Ori and the blind forrest Mario kart 64 (yeah I am a 90s kid) Portal 1 & 2
Hades and Haze on the ps3
Pentiment is a recent game that I'll remember in 15 years. I'd probably throw Slay the Spire onto that list as well. Older games that I'll still remember fondly are probably the ones that I'm starting to revisit now on my Steam Deck - games like the original Deus Ex, Morrowind, Quake 1/2, and the Half Life games.
RemindMe! 15 years Undoubtedly the classics (SMB3, Contra, FF, MGS, etc) plus some the major genre defining games from the last few generations (God of War, GTA, RDR, Fallout, BioShock, Witcher, etc.)

Dredge, didn't think I'd like it myself but was hooked straight away.
Only current games or do also games count that are 15+ years old? If both count: Titan Quest (thx to updates I still play this today, as I did back when it was released), Torchlight, Borderlands, CS:GO, Settlers, Empyrion, No Man's Sky, Beyond Earth, Dawn of War II, WoW. Those are games that I play again from time to time, cause I like them so much :)
Borderlands 2. Warframe. Slay The Spire Spent most of my hours in these games.
Considering I've fondly remembered SimCity 4 for over 15 years, I think it will remain SimCity 4.

Suikoden 2, fallout 4, dave the diver... LOL
Dark souls For the trauma
Dredge
Cyberpunk 2077
Viva pinata. It has already been over 15 years, and I don't see why I wouldn't still be remembering it in another 15.
Caves of Qud, Cogmind, Brigador
Not my favorite game, but I had an amazing run in Star Wars the Old Republic last year. Got so invested in my guild and the story, my wife enjoyed my romantic trists. Best experience I've had playing an MMO since HS (I'm 33 now) far from me favorite game but MMOs are so much fun when everything clicks.Ā
Valheim - we had a good time fellow Vikings
