Quest for Glory 1 (called Hero’s Quest at release) shaped my humor and gave me a lifetime love of fantasy in general, my username is the name of one of the minor characters. I recently spent a couple hundred dollars on a painting because it reminded me of Erana’s Peace, a location in the game. Its sequels are great too.
I missed the dodging and flurry-rush shrine in BoTW. Beat Ganon without ever learning. Finally went back much later and was like “wow, this game is so much easier now!”
I’m not gonna say this is karma biting him in the ass for disallowing the Sonic Xtreme devs use of the Nights engine, but I am gonna say that thinking about that gives me a very nice sense of Schadenfreude.
Natural selection 2. The game is pretty much dead now, and it is not easy on new players, but no other game I’ve played has this awesome sense to teamwork and coordination with intense combat. It kind of ruined all other multiplayer games for me. I haven’t found anything like it.

seems like my previous comment didn’t get posted
I’ve always loved Galactic Battlegrounds because RTS are fun. Rebellion is another great one that another commenter mentioned. I was also a fan of Jedi Knight and Jedi Academy and replaced them on switch a year or two back.
Oh wow, kudos for sitting down and writing this piece out. Damn, that’s a long post.
But seriously though, all I could think of when I “skimmed” through the text was that you got too obsessed with the building blocks of a story and realised that you are critical towards that they’re all the same shape and/or made by the same material. So you stand very close to the wall and squint instead of backing up a few paces to get a good view of the actual construct in it’s entirety.
Relax and just be happy that we have the luxury in this day and age to appreciate gaming as a medium. Or don’t, whatever makes you happy :)
I really like this point. If you look closely most churches are built with bricks and wood, but still create beautiful structures. As I was reading through the list I was thinking a lot about games that did points good and badly. Tropes are tropes for a reason (check out OSP trope talks if you want break down on how specific tropes can be used well or poorly)
