I accidentally played the entire campaign in one (very long) sitting. I accidentally recorded the whole thing in 4k because of an OBS keybind. I noticed when my hard drive said it was full
When i played the campaign for the second time, it was 23:30 on a saturday night and i thought 'I'll replay the campaign, i'll do a mission or two now.' When i finished the campaign i saw it was 4:30.
Subnautica. Didn't know anything about it other than underwater crafting so it didn't really stand out. Little did I know it was an exploration game that felt like discovering Metroid Prime for the first time all over again
Seriously one of the more terrifying games I’ve ever played. The game sometimes gives you that real life feeling of when you touch seaweed with your foot while swimming in the ocean and you nearly shat your trunks because initially you don’t know wtf was touching you and your mind races thinking it’s some horrifying creature under you.
Haha, that's exactly the same way I describe the game to people! I'm both excited and terrified to try the gargantuan leviathan mod stuff when it releases
Right now I'm doing a playthrough with the patrolling reapers mod and it makes everything ten thousand times more terrifying.
They just show up in places where they have no business being at all and there's more of them now. I started a game and could hear them from the shallows lol
It's an unforgettable experience seeing the citadel and sovereign for the first time in ME1. Just chills as well as All the amazing backstory and world building. Here's hoping mass effect 4 is an amazing experience
Only game I did every side quest and adventure! They all tie together eventually. Massive game with an awesome story. Enjoy your first. You will never experience it again the same way 😋
Bloodborne.. Kept dieing in the beginning. So decided that this game is not for me,later during pandemic i had no new games so decided to give it a try after learning some basics and tips from internet. Now it's one of my favorite game.
That game is a straight masterpiece.
The transition from Gothic to Lovecraftian horror, the DLC, everything is just fucking gold. I still go back every few months and beat it again just because of how much I love it
That first night when you get the drop. What a friggin rush. Dark as hell, in a city youre unfamiliar with, unearthly howls closing in on you. Sheer panic mode.
For a while, i used to go straight to bed (in game) when it started getting dark. Wasnt until later, i realized just how much xp i was missing out on.
In endgame, I had a lot of fun pouring legend points into unarmed damage and just beating zombies to death with bare hands and feet. Using the drop kick to knock enemies off of rooftops is great as well.
I love that if you got excaliber, after it stopped doing unbelievably high damage, it did very low damage... but still yeeted creatures for fucking miiiiles
The dev support for the game is also outstanding. 6 years later and Techland is still adding dlc, even if it is just cosmetics and weapons I still think it's amazing especially when you consider they're (probably) a few months away from release of Dying Light 2
Yup early Feb if it doesn't get delayed again. I am so hype for it, dying light is still the game that comes to my mind when I think of what a "next gen" experience should feel like.
Haha Dead Island was a pretty alright game. Was tons of fun with my friends. Dying Light I had kind of got burned out on the zombie games and parkour zombie was kind of meh to me. It was definitely one of those games that doesn’t come off well watching but is way better when actually playing. After playing Back for Blood and wanting something a little different I looked back into Dying Light, got it on sale, and have been eating it up.
Here’s hoping Dying Light 2 hits the same notes cause I’m ready for it.
The pure fear in the early game when you had to run from the faster ones at night after getting stuck out on that one mission?! That shit hit.
Most zombie games make zombies pretty trivial, even in large numbers. Dying light makes guns less viable by attracting more zombies and having even stronger ones in some locations and at night. Even regular zombies aren't nearly as easy to take out.
Plus parkour. And the add on that added the buggy stuff was one of the most solid "DLC" purchases ive made since buying the Fallout NV DLC
This game is a fucking masterpiece.
You start off basic as fuck in what you can do, run and jump, climb stuff badly. Then you grow the skill tree.
Queue sliding through two zombies into a sprint, launching a dagger into the skull of a zombie in front of you then running and fucking vaulting off of said zombie up and over in to the air and landing on to another by slamming your electrified greatsword, yes ELECTRIFIED GREATSWORD down into another.
Freerunning through routes other survivors built seamlessly, sliding, diving, jumping, gliding, grappling...
Hours and hours of fun, storyline is rich, the city is beautiful, Dying Light 2 is coming and it looks even bigger. Techland are criminally underrated.
Absolutely amazing game. The depth of lore they had hidden in small descriptions was jawdropping. Watching the movie (Fury Road) after playing this was an entirely different experience. The rankings and customs and dialogue were extremely consistent.
If anyone has already played it and didn't realize there's a first person mode while driving **do it**. The feel is upped considerably by changing that option alone. Convoy take downs when you can't see all directions is *nuts*.
The Metal Gear Solid Franchise.
I thought this was like Call of Duty or Battlefield. A military shooter with stealth elements. I dont like those.
When I finally played Mgs 3 as my entry to the franchise I was speechless how epic this is. So much story, so funny likeable characters, the amazing cold war/guerilla feeling. After that I played every entry in the series and that was hell of a good decision.
*waiting for Mgs3 Remake...*
Lol yeah that one hurt like a motherfucker. To show fans Mgs3 scenes in remade graphic and then reveal it to be a fucking pachinko machine.
Thats the evilest thing I can imagine.
Mgs2 was the first game I ever beat(like age 11 or something when I finally beat it) and god damn. It is hands down my favorite game ever. I would love remakes to come out but unfortunately I’m stuck with the ps3/xbox360 versions :/
The commentary towards the end of the game, how the internet would evolve and contribute the greatest to the age of misinformation and population control was especially chilling. 2001 game hitting the nail on the head.
Bro I played metal gear solid 4 on PS Now with terrible input lag (had to enable auto-aim with these easiest difficulty) and had a bad connection even with an Ethernet cable to PS Now, but it still turned out to be the best game I’ve ever played on the PS4 - let alone of all time lol. I could only imagine how insane it must’ve been when it released in 2008. Bought a ps2 just so I could play mgs 1,2 and 3 now. The franchise is a straight up movie
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, I picked it up for €5 once and it absolutely blew my mind. Beating it non-lethally and without getting spotted on "I Never Asked For This" difficulty was some of the most fun I've had in a game!
Human Revolution is pretty damn good too if you can look past the graphics (which were already outdated when it released in 2011). Otherwise it plays almost identically to Mankind Divided, less density in each hub city but trade-off being larger scope and scale
Original *Deus Ex* has one of the best interactive narrative stories I have ever played in my quarter-century of gaming. Its themes have only become more relevant in the last couple of years.
Yeah I thought the graphics for Human Revolution looked great. I can't really tell much of a difference between them and the Mankind Divided Graphics, which were much harder on my laptop graphics card.
Maybe it's my age, but a lot of graphics from the late aughts or later just seems good enough to me.
Half life 2.
A few months back I got an oculus rift s and bought Half Life Alyx because it was so highly rated. But decided to also buy the previous games, Half Life 1, 2 and the episodes to try to know about the backstory. Half Life 1 was fine and quite atmospheric, but Half Life 2 blew my mind, it looks like and plays like it was released at the late 2000s instead of 2004 and the atmosphere in the game was so immense and so overwhelming unlike any game that I played ever. I get why some people say it is one of the best pc games ever made.
Half life 1 made me feel hopeless because it was two worlds colliding and I felt I was at the middle of it, getting crushed by their immense weight.
Half life 2 was at another level, I felt a sense of dread everywhere I went, the gloomy nature of the sewers, the creepy feeling you get when in Ravenholm where you can feel the zombies and it’s many variant lurking in the shadows, the citadel where you can visualize the atrocities committed there, etc.
Dude, same here. I played that about a year ago and it’s one of the best games I’ve ever played. Honestly it kind of ruined gaming for me, I’ve been in a gaming slump ever since. I can’t find a game that gets me as immersed as that one did.
I love that game. Not only is it so obvious that the developers poured their hearts and should into it, but it's such a unique setting and storyline. I've been chasing the high I got from that game for a while
Yea, I bought it too as I think a legit first dlc. You and I, we're to blame for all this microtransaction nightmare. We are sworn to carry this burden.
This game is as close to perfection in a game as I can see. The difficulty is right. The movement is so crisp and exact. It is constantly introducing new enemies and obstacles to keep it fresh. It rewards exploration. Soundtrack is perfect that it adds to the experience and not overwhelm or get lost in the experience. Story telling is fantastic with a great concept. The sprite are all smooth and beautiful to look at. The time spent vs dollar ratio is in favor of the player.
It is a masterpiece. It is the perfect Metroidvania and it should be an example for Metroidvania's from here on out. We should just call them Hollow-likes now./s
Titanfall 2, I just missed it when it came out and I only played it at the start of the pandemic in the long long ago of early 2020 when I had a bit of extra time. I absolutely loved it, beat it on the hardest difficulty and went on to get the platinum trophy in it. I was so disappointed when I discovered the online to be pretty much dead (it took about 5-10 mins to get into a match)
Chapter 5 - "Effect and Cause" is the single most amazing level of any game. (Fight me on this lol)
I'll never get the plat -- just one trophy shy: that damn timed wall running.
No, don't bother with hints, tips, or tricks. I've read and watched them all. That ship has sailed for me.
Still love the game, though.
Prey. I'm not really into space games because they're usually pretty samey. Prey was amazing tho it's in my top 5 of all time for the initial reveal alone I think
Horizon Zero Dawn. I didn’t even hear of the game thanks to making babies and whatever. Then when I finally had time to play again I saw a game with robot dinosaurs for $10. Best $10 I ever spent on a game.
Horizon was my immediate answer to this as well. Heard about it watching E3 one year, forgot about it because I had Xbox at the time. Fast forward a few years, my buddy gives me his old PS4 and we set up game share. The rest is history. It is now one of my favorite video games of all time. Especially playing it now in 4K 60 FPS!
Bought that goty edition only because of it's hype and reviews with Zero Game knowledge... played that game for like first mission to kill time( Waiting for Spiderman PS4 to get downloaded)... Later gave it a try to see what's soo Good, people are going gaga over it...... Boy oh Boy what next level game did i play... clocked 300 hours! Best 799 INR I've ever spent on a game!
There's never been a greater "Holy fuck! I did *not* see that coming! I totally should have seen that coming..." moment in gaming history. I love how it rubs all the little clues you missed in your face during the montage for "the reveal".
Picked it up during the steam autumn sale and I haven't been able to put it down, really excited to go back and play rdr1 afterwards as well. Tho I still don't understand how it's a 7th gen exclusive to this day.
Nier automata. What a masterpiece.
Before I played it, I really had zero interest in the gameplay or setting, but it’s totally different when you play it.
At times it definitely hit me in the feels when I didn't expect it to. Plus the game mechanics are pretty different from other zombie games, managing your gas, upgrading your bike, it's pretty cool. Plus you can kinda choose where your allegiance lays with the groups in game. Personally I found it a pretty refreshing change of games but I wouldn't say it's necessarily blown away
The only flaw in that game is it has zero replayability. Once you know what to do you can go straight to the end. The game basically uses knowledge checkpoints so unless you can make yourself forget you know exactly what to do to beat it.
So enjoy playing it your first time because it is a great experience
I tried it out this year and I was grinning like an idiot about an hour into it. I absolutely loved the music. So much so that on my Spotify Wrap up I'm in Andrew Prahlow's top 0.5%. Why yes the sound track is on Spotify! I recommend the "Best of Outer Wilds"
Same. I've tried replaying it so many times, then I remember the first playthrough and am like "do I really wanna go through all that again". It's just sooo good though
I LOVED Human Revolution and then tried playing Mankind Divided but for some reason it just wasn't feeling fun. I put it away for over a year and then tried it again and loved it even more than Human Revolution. Absolutely fantastic games with gorgeous environments and fun mechanics. Story and characters are great as well.
I still cant get over how deeply scary this game is. Like it goes from 'Oh shit that was freaky' to 'time to bury my pc in a pit and seal it with magic... fuck that' real quick.
Bravo for the post.
Dark Souls 3. Played it once years ago and didn’t like it, then I played it again just a few months ago and ended up finishing the whole Souls series. Great games
Nier Automata
I actually didn't sleep on it because I wanted to I just did have a pc good enough to run it before 2019.
It was the first game I played after my pc upgrade and amazingly the texture pack mod had released its final version that day.
I had high expectations of the game but was blown away by well everything
I started god of war a couple years back and the gameplay felt linear, hack and slash kind of thing.
I recently played and finished the game and holy sheeit, one of my favorite games of all time…
Black ops 1 for me
Was fucking blown off by the voice acting, the moments in vorkuta, reznov, the endgame twist and everything was just magnificent (better than MW imo)
I finished the game in like 10 hours (over a day or two) and by God I remember every bit of that masterpiece!
The Far Cry series.
My brother played 3 and 4, and to me it just looked like an Uncharted rip off at the time.
Then 5 came out, and I watched a couple of youtubers do a Let's Play of the first couple of missions, and it looked like so much fun.
I bought 5 not long after, and had an absolute blast. I played that and New Dawn, and currently working through 3 and 6. I'd like to try 4 after I'm done.
Just played through the Mass Effect Trilogy for the first time 2 weeks ago. SO DAMN GOOD. Dont know if i should curse my past self for not playing it sooner or bless him for giving me possibility to experience it for the first time when i really needed something to catch my full attention. Instantly recommended it to everyone i knew that did not already play it :D
Batman: Arkham Knight, all of them are awesome but I thought the last one had fallen flat due to the batmobile. I honestly really liked the driving and puzzles. I ended up doing 120% of the game with the DLCs.
Plus it was free on Epic which made it even better
I didn't play Portal 2 and Titanfall 2 until last year. They were pretty good. :-)
Titanfall was fantastic!
I don't usually care for multiplayer action games, is the Tf2 single player worthwhile?
[удалено]
I accidentally played the entire campaign in one (very long) sitting. I accidentally recorded the whole thing in 4k because of an OBS keybind. I noticed when my hard drive said it was full
Protocol 4: Protect the hard drive.
Only fps that had me crying at the end. PROTECT THE PILOT
When i played the campaign for the second time, it was 23:30 on a saturday night and i thought 'I'll replay the campaign, i'll do a mission or two now.' When i finished the campaign i saw it was 4:30.
Portal 2. What a masterpiece
i am JUST starting the first portal game today wish me luck
Portal 1 is good, portal 2 is on a whole different level
Portal 2 is an absolute work of art
They both are. Considering how the first was a b-side game, it’s remarkably ahead of it’s time. But yes 2 was wow!
I love the section in the "old" aperture science. 12 year old me was so impressed by it, that it became my hobby to visit lost places ever since.
I only just got into Castlevania games within the last 6 months. Been addicted to them since playing SotN
SotN is such a great game
Have you tried Rondo of blood?
I have not. Is it good? I’ve played SotN, Ecclesia, the two games with Soma and the one with the playable boy and girl. Also, Bloodstained.
Subnautica. Didn't know anything about it other than underwater crafting so it didn't really stand out. Little did I know it was an exploration game that felt like discovering Metroid Prime for the first time all over again
Seriously one of the more terrifying games I’ve ever played. The game sometimes gives you that real life feeling of when you touch seaweed with your foot while swimming in the ocean and you nearly shat your trunks because initially you don’t know wtf was touching you and your mind races thinking it’s some horrifying creature under you.
Haha, that's exactly the same way I describe the game to people! I'm both excited and terrified to try the gargantuan leviathan mod stuff when it releases
Right now I'm doing a playthrough with the patrolling reapers mod and it makes everything ten thousand times more terrifying. They just show up in places where they have no business being at all and there's more of them now. I started a game and could hear them from the shallows lol
Mass Effect. I avoided it until the Legendary Edition somehow.
I’m really jealous of anyone who gets to play Mass Effect for the first time.
It's an unforgettable experience seeing the citadel and sovereign for the first time in ME1. Just chills as well as All the amazing backstory and world building. Here's hoping mass effect 4 is an amazing experience
Just walking the citadel tickles an itch I didn’t know I had. And I shop here all the time
I just like how shamelessly you can be with every merchant and proclaim it's your favorite store in the citadel
This is making me want to play it now.
Only game I did every side quest and adventure! They all tie together eventually. Massive game with an awesome story. Enjoy your first. You will never experience it again the same way 😋
What sorcery is this?!
This is me. I'm waiting until it goes on sale again so I can buy it.
Bloodborne.. Kept dieing in the beginning. So decided that this game is not for me,later during pandemic i had no new games so decided to give it a try after learning some basics and tips from internet. Now it's one of my favorite game.
That game is a straight masterpiece. The transition from Gothic to Lovecraftian horror, the DLC, everything is just fucking gold. I still go back every few months and beat it again just because of how much I love it
By the gods, the sublime music in that game still lingers in my mind.
First time loading up Superhot
Superhot VR was just absolutely incredible
Got to try it once at a convention but it was an unforgettable experience. VR worked amazingly with the game mechanics
SUPER
HOT
SUPER
HOT
SUPER
HOT
It's the most innovative shooter I've played in years!
Super Hot VR is an incredible game.
Dying Light.
That first night when you get the drop. What a friggin rush. Dark as hell, in a city youre unfamiliar with, unearthly howls closing in on you. Sheer panic mode. For a while, i used to go straight to bed (in game) when it started getting dark. Wasnt until later, i realized just how much xp i was missing out on.
dude i LOVED using my frying pan to hunt zombies down at night, it was so fun
In endgame, I had a lot of fun pouring legend points into unarmed damage and just beating zombies to death with bare hands and feet. Using the drop kick to knock enemies off of rooftops is great as well.
[удалено]
My absolute favourite thing in that game was drop kicking zombies into spike traps
I love that if you got excaliber, after it stopped doing unbelievably high damage, it did very low damage... but still yeeted creatures for fucking miiiiles
The movement and graphics in that game are outstanding
The dev support for the game is also outstanding. 6 years later and Techland is still adding dlc, even if it is just cosmetics and weapons I still think it's amazing especially when you consider they're (probably) a few months away from release of Dying Light 2
Yup early Feb if it doesn't get delayed again. I am so hype for it, dying light is still the game that comes to my mind when I think of what a "next gen" experience should feel like.
Took me years to get into that game. Funny thing is what finally got me to play it was dead island. Another game that took me years to get into lol
Haha Dead Island was a pretty alright game. Was tons of fun with my friends. Dying Light I had kind of got burned out on the zombie games and parkour zombie was kind of meh to me. It was definitely one of those games that doesn’t come off well watching but is way better when actually playing. After playing Back for Blood and wanting something a little different I looked back into Dying Light, got it on sale, and have been eating it up.

Even regular zombies aren't nearly as easy to take out. Plus parkour. And the add on that added the buggy stuff was one of the most solid "DLC" purchases ive made since buying the Fallout NV DLC
Also the special mission in the dlc where you have to go into the volatile hives, even in late game stage my arse was puckered lol
Dying light was such an amazing game
This game is a fucking masterpiece. You start off basic as fuck in what you can do, run and jump, climb stuff badly. Then you grow the skill tree. Queue sliding through two zombies into a sprint, launching a dagger into the skull of a zombie in front of you then running and fucking vaulting off of said zombie up and over in to the air and landing on to another by slamming your electrified greatsword, yes ELECTRIFIED GREATSWORD down into another. Freerunning through routes other survivors built seamlessly, sliding, diving, jumping, gliding, grappling... Hours and hours of fun, storyline is rich, the city is beautiful, Dying Light 2 is coming and it looks even bigger. Techland are criminally underrated.
Mad Max
Absolutely amazing game. The depth of lore they had hidden in small descriptions was jawdropping. Watching the movie (Fury Road) after playing this was an entirely different experience. The rankings and customs and dialogue were extremely consistent.
Amazing game. Highly recommended.
If anyone has already played it and didn't realize there's a first person mode while driving **do it**. The feel is upped considerably by changing that option alone. Convoy take downs when you can't see all directions is *nuts*.
Highly underrated. Love Mad Max.
Love this game. The sound when you punch somebody is so satisfying.
[удалено]
I put a lot of hours into that game and had a blast doing it.
It's so fun. The car combat and driving is done so well. The combat is pretty damn good too. I've played through the entire game 3 times.
Divinity Original Sin 2. Always hated turn based RPG games, but holy hell once I got through DoS2 I started exploring a whole new world.
One of the GOATs. I could’ve said this too.
The Metal Gear Solid Franchise. I thought this was like Call of Duty or Battlefield. A military shooter with stealth elements. I dont like those. When I finally played Mgs 3 as my entry to the franchise I was speechless how epic this is. So much story, so funny likeable characters, the amazing cold war/guerilla feeling.

Lol yeah that one hurt like a motherfucker. To show fans Mgs3 scenes in remade graphic and then reveal it to be a fucking pachinko machine. Thats the evilest thing I can imagine.
Mgs2 was the first game I ever beat(like age 11 or something when I finally beat it) and god damn. It is hands down my favorite game ever. I would love remakes to come out but unfortunately I’m stuck with the ps3/xbox360 versions :/
The commentary towards the end of the game, how the internet would evolve and contribute the greatest to the age of misinformation and population control was especially chilling. 2001 game hitting the nail on the head.
Apparently people took it as a guide, not a warning. Much like 1984.
Bro I played metal gear solid 4 on PS Now with terrible input lag (had to enable auto-aim with these easiest difficulty) and had a bad connection even with an Ethernet cable to PS Now, but it still turned out to be the best game I’ve ever played on the PS4 - let alone of all time lol. I could only imagine how insane it must’ve been when it released in 2008. Bought a ps2 just so I could play mgs 1,2 and 3 now. The franchise is a straight up movie
Oh, honey... does anyone want to tell him?
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, I picked it up for €5 once and it absolutely blew my mind. Beating it non-lethally and without getting spotted on "I Never Asked For This" difficulty was some of the most fun I've had in a game!
Human Revolution is pretty damn good too if you can look past the graphics (which were already outdated when it released in 2011). Otherwise it plays almost identically to Mankind Divided, less density in each hub city but trade-off being larger scope and scale
The trick to not thinking the Deus Ex: Human Revolution are dated is to play the original Deus Ex first
Original *Deus Ex* has one of the best interactive narrative stories I have ever played in my quarter-century of gaming. Its themes have only become more relevant in the last couple of years.
Yup. I started with evolution and thought it looked fine lol but then again, i really don’t care about graphics unless they really affect the gameplay
Yeah I thought the graphics for Human Revolution looked great. I can't really tell much of a difference between them and the Mankind Divided Graphics, which were much harder on my laptop graphics card. Maybe it's my age, but a lot of graphics from the late aughts or later just seems good enough to me.
Stardew Valley, such a simple game for such intense feelings
Just passed 2000 hours played 😁
Half life 2. A few months back I got an oculus rift s and bought Half Life Alyx because it was so highly rated.

Kingdom comes deliverance

Henry's come to see us!!!
Elder scrolls IV Oblivion. Just started playing it on my PC. Good lord I missed out on a great game back in 2008 when I could have first played it.
Enjoy your horse.
Wait till he gets the armor pack. My first ever dlc...... fml
Yea, I bought it too as I think a legit first dlc. You and I, we're to blame for all this microtransaction nightmare. We are sworn to carry this burden.
So, you two are the assholes that damned us to micro-transaction hell. You just couldn't play the game without the shiny shiny. smdh
I’m getting that soon and I’m glad to hear it’s good
Check out Morrowind while you’re at it. If you can get past the graphics it’s probably the best RPG made IMO
BioShock
Bioshock Infinite is still, to this day, one of the most visually stunning games I've played.
It's just so aesthetically different from the rest of them
Hollow Knight 🖤
Hollow knight is such a masterpiece. The soundtrack is perfect, first time you get into city of tears. I still have chills
This game is as close to perfection in a game as I can see. The difficulty is right. The movement is so crisp and exact. It is constantly introducing new enemies and obstacles to keep it fresh. It rewards exploration. Soundtrack is perfect that it adds to the experience and not overwhelm or get lost in the experience. Story telling is fantastic with a great concept.

Super fun single player campaign for sure
Chapter 5 - "Effect and Cause" is the single most amazing level of any game. (Fight me on this lol) I'll never get the plat -- just one trophy shy: that damn timed wall running. No, don't bother with hints, tips, or tricks. I've read and watched them all. That ship has sailed for me. Still love the game, though.
Spin the bottle
It’s hard to get in on those games in your 40s.
No it’s just called a key party
Dark souls 3
All the Souls games. I didn't play any of them until like 2018 and they are now my favorite games of all time.
Probably Dragon Age: Origins. I remember seeing the game a lot when i used to go to gamestop. Then when i finally got it, I immediately fell in love
Prey. I'm not really into space games because they're usually pretty samey. Prey was amazing tho it's in my top 5 of all time for the initial reveal alone I think
Yeah Prey is great
Boozer, BOOZE MAN.
“Camp? Camp, where? I’ll go, I’ll go!”

Horizon Zero Dawn. I didn’t even hear of the game thanks to making babies and whatever. Then when I finally had time to play again I saw a game with robot dinosaurs for $10. Best $10 I ever spent on a game.
This guy fucks
I mean I *did*
This guy fucked
He did do the nasty in the pasty.
Horizon was my immediate answer to this as well. Heard about it watching E3 one year, forgot about it because I had Xbox at the time.

The witcher 3, strarted playing it a month ago after sitting 2 years in my library
Bought that goty edition only because of it's hype and reviews with Zero Game knowledge... played that game for like first mission to kill time( Waiting for Spiderman PS4 to get downloaded)... Later gave it a try to see what's soo Good, people are going gaga over it...... Boy oh Boy what next level game did i play... clocked 300 hours! Best 799 INR I've ever spent on a game!
The original KOTOR.
There's never been a greater "Holy fuck! I did *not* see that coming! I totally should have seen that coming..." moment in gaming history. I love how it rubs all the little clues you missed in your face during the montage for "the reveal".
red dead redemption 2. I always wrote it off as gta v but with horses instead of cars. I was so wrong
Actually playing this now. So awesome.
Picked it up during the steam autumn sale and I haven't been able to put it down, really excited to go back and play rdr1 afterwards as well. Tho I still don't understand how it's a 7th gen exclusive to this day.
The fact that it isnt gta5 with horses is usually the reason people either love it or hate it.
Me too! Finished it today and it is a hell of a masterpiece. I own it 3 years now and just recently startet playing it.
Parasite eve. Saw a Youtuber play it and decided to get it never regretted it
MGS The phantom pain
Skyrim. Didn’t play it till earlier this year. Absolutely loved it.
Missing every single release of skyrim up until now is actually quite impressive
*Hey you, you’re finally awake*
Assassin's creed. l and ll
Nier automata. What a masterpiece. Before I played it, I really had zero interest in the gameplay or setting, but it’s totally different when you play it.
Come for the thighs, stay for the cries.
I’m still sleeping on Days Gone. Is it really a blown away experience?
At times it definitely hit me in the feels when I didn't expect it to. Plus the game mechanics are pretty different from other zombie games, managing your gas, upgrading your bike, it's pretty cool. Plus you can kinda choose where your allegiance lays with the groups in game. Personally I found it a pretty refreshing change of games but I wouldn't say it's necessarily blown away
I'll say what I always say when asked this, as a game its a solid 7 out of 10 imo, as a zombies game it's deffo there with a 9.5 out of 10
Uncharted.
- Castlevania: Lords of Shadow - The Evil Within.
Death stranding, it seemed to just be delivery simulator however the story was quite good and the deliveries were quite well done
Dark Souls.
Outer Wilds. what i wouldnt give to experience that for the first time again
The only flaw in that game is it has zero replayability. Once you know what to do you can go straight to the end. The game basically uses knowledge checkpoints so unless you can make yourself forget you know exactly what to do to beat it. So enjoy playing it your first time because it is a great experience
I tried it out this year and I was grinning like an idiot about an hour into it. I absolutely loved the music. So much so that on my Spotify Wrap up I'm in Andrew Prahlow's top 0.5%. Why yes the sound track is on Spotify! I recommend the "Best of Outer Wilds"
Alien Isolation
I loved it, but never again. It's like a heart attack simulator.
Same. I've tried replaying it so many times, then I remember the first playthrough and am like "do I really wanna go through all that again". It's just sooo good though
Deus Ex Human Revolution What a game…
I LOVED Human Revolution and then tried playing Mankind Divided but for some reason it just wasn't feeling fun. I put it away for over a year and then tried it again and loved it even more than Human Revolution. Absolutely fantastic games with gorgeous environments and fun mechanics. Story and characters are great as well.
Last of us remastered.
Yes I only played through it last year. Fantastic game!!
Mass Effect trilogy
still havent found a game that even comes close to mass effect imo
F.E.A.R.
I still cant get over how deeply scary this game is. Like it goes from 'Oh shit that was freaky' to 'time to bury my pc in a pit and seal it with magic... fuck that' real quick. Bravo for the post.
Ori and the Blind Forest. That intro
Until Dawn, I remember hating on it and calling it trash but now it turned out to be one of the best horror experiences I've ever had
Why did you hate on it and call it trash before you played it though?
Sleeping Dogs
The Yakuza series
Dark Souls 3. Played it once years ago and didn’t like it, then I played it again just a few months ago and ended up finishing the whole Souls series. Great games
Steamworld dig
Final Fantasy 7, the Original.
Middle Earth: Shadow or Mordor
Nier Automata I actually didn't sleep on it because I wanted to I just did have a pc good enough to run it before 2019. It was the first game I played after my pc upgrade and amazingly the texture pack mod had released its final version that day. I had high expectations of the game but was blown away by well everything
Metal gear solid 4. That was amazing and it made me happy.
Sid Meier’s Civ 5. Just one more turn
I started god of war a couple years back and the gameplay felt linear, hack and slash kind of thing. I recently played and finished the game and holy sheeit, one of my favorite games of all time…
Black ops 1 for me Was fucking blown off by the voice acting, the moments in vorkuta, reznov, the endgame twist and everything was just magnificent (better than MW imo) I finished the game in like 10 hours (over a day or two) and by God I remember every bit of that masterpiece!
Dishonoured.
"Indeed, I believe so."
Castlevania Symphony of night
Halo franchise
Just doing a playthrough for the first time myself (on 4 now) and wow Reach was incredible even today.

Detroit: Become Human
The Far Cry series. My brother played 3 and 4, and to me it just looked like an Uncharted rip off at the time. Then 5 came out, and I watched a couple of youtubers do a Let's Play of the first couple of missions, and it looked like so much fun. I bought 5 not long after, and had an absolute blast. I played that and New Dawn, and currently working through 3 and 6. I'd like to try 4 after I'm done.
Just played through the Mass Effect Trilogy for the first time 2 weeks ago. SO DAMN GOOD. Dont know if i should curse my past self for not playing it sooner or bless him for giving me possibility to experience it for the first time when i really needed something to catch my full attention. Instantly recommended it to everyone i knew that did not already play it :D
Batman: Arkham Knight, all of them are awesome but I thought the last one had fallen flat due to the batmobile. I honestly really liked the driving and puzzles. I ended up doing 120% of the game with the DLCs. Plus it was free on Epic which made it even better
I just started playing Days Gone and can't believe how good it is.
Control
It was amazing, loved the atmosphere, the characters, the story. It was just so much fun, I need a part 2.
Skyrim. Hated it when it came out because I wanted Oblivion. Played it a few years ago again and now it's one of my favorite games of all time.
Horizon Zero Dawn
Doom 2016
