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.

Skyrim, Portal 2, Slime Rancher, or the first Deus Ex.

Can’t believe nobody mentioned Last of US.

What a work of art that game is.

[–] Redacted@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 weeks ago

Absolutely, Im so torn when bringing up this game as I refuse to spoil even a morsel of it but at the same time I feel the need to sing its praises

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 3 points 2 weeks ago

In terms of modern games, both of the Last of Us games and Alien: Isolation. I'm sure there's loads of old games but my memory is awful.

[–] Hozerkiller@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks 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.

Adastra.

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

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

[–] PostaL@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Syberia

Surprised no one mentioned it

[–] betanumerus@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 weeks ago

Ninja Gaiden NES. I only have good memories from that game. When Super Mario Bros was the baseline, Ninja Gaiden was incredible. I played so much I could finish it on demand with barely any slips.

Splintercell Chaos Theory.

Good lord...

God damn it, Fisher!

To the moon! The game was so emotional.

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

Probably World of Warcraft. That's a couple thousand hours in total as I played on and off on private servers throughout the years from 2006-2012, plus a brief stint with BfA.

Actually, no, I'd rather not forget how I saw the game evolve, even if my experience wasn't the ideal one.

Legacy of the Ancients

Alan Wake. There’s certain parts of that game that mess with your head.
