What games did genuienly impress you?

Hollow Knight has a phenomenal world and art style with a staggering amount of content attached to a $20 price tag. My only gripe is how hard it can be to find lore in comparison to already obtuse games like Dark Souls. Hollow Knight also managed to fill me with this feeling of uneasiness that no game has managed to replicate since my first play through of Dark Souls. It’s a mix of a feeling of not knowing what’s around the corner in tandem with the feeling that everything can and will kill you. I want to explore but the atmosphere is thick and it makes it tense.

What Remains of Edith Finch is an absolutely phenomenal narrative game. Not much that can be said without spoiling the whole game (even though it’s more of a walking simulator than a game) other than some parts hit like a ton of bricks. I’ve replayed the game half a dozen times or so and don’t regret it at all.

Dark Souls 1 sits at the summit of my list of games that I fell in love with. It had a very innovative take on combat and how enemies, healing, checkpoints, and levelling up worked. It was also a world that felt incredible to explore, get knocked down by, and eventually conquer. It’s insane how much progress a new player will likely make over the course of the game, going from being demolished by basic enemies to barely getting touched by bosses on subsequent playthroughs. And, more so than Hollow Knight in my opinion, the soundtrack carries this game and series as a whole. The vast majority of the scores are fantastic and the somber track that caps of the final boss suits the morbid world of the game as well. Mechanically, I prefer Dark Souls 3 since the speed of that game has made it insufferable to go back to the first game with a medium roll. Plus the online in Dark Souls 1 is all but dead and I enjoy invading. However, I have to give the original credit for introducing me to my favourite series by a mile and for how innovative a lot of the game’s mechanics and design choices were that allowed it to stand apart from the crowd (invasions, interconnected semi-linear world, souls system used as currency and experience, etc.)

Does Chess count? Cause if so than that. And I know everyone will roll there eyes at this post, but it’s really interesting how many games are possible and all the different variations and factors that go into moves.

For video games, I don’t think the Civilization series has been mentioned yet. Civ is really fun and enjoyable. It’s a game I can always play on a Saturday. Ik there are probs games just like this, but Civilization is a fun strategic game I suggest to anyone.

minecraft's amazingly simple yet confusing redstone system i really love to play with

gmd's level editor and epic gamer community

oneshot, undertale, the danganronpa series, and pokemon black/white have amazing stories

roblox is a good game to kill time, especially dungeon quest by vcaffy is great

yes

Just Shapes & Beats.

I'm honestly surprised that no one has suggested JS&B yet, it's pretty short, but it's levels not only have great music, they're in PERFECT sync with the song, it's also very fun and easy to play if you have a controller, if not , it's a bit harder, JS&B also has storyline, which is pretty minor for that game, but still makes you sad near the end, gameplay is also AMAZING. 15/10

TitanFall 2, Geometry dash and APEX LEGENDS is my favourite games, not recommened for i5 2400

wait for the sale

i need to add celeste to my list for amazing story and fun gameplay
