Fata Morgana.

Listen, whether you like Visual Novels or not doesn’t matter. But Fata Morgana is just somehow…perfect. Everything is resolved and I don’t feel any need to complain about any aspect of it. It was an experience to play a game that left me with no questions afterwards. It was just a really good story.

Super Metroid. It’s an amazing game if you play it normally, and you can branch out into sequence breaking tricks pretty easily. It basically created/popularized an entire genre of games.

Chrono Trigger. It’s basically the evolutionary peak of the NES-era console RPG. Every aspect, including the story, art, game mechanics, and music, are best-in-class, with no obvious room for improvement given the technical constraints of the time.

I have great expectation in Sea of Stars exactly because I loved Chrono Trigger suo much.

Cityshrimp ,

Had the same expectations for I am Setsuna, but from what I saw in gameplay and reviews, it was disappointing. Hopefully Sea of Stars will be a good one

Setsuna had a lot of cool throwbacks to Chrono Trigger, but ultimately, it was just okay.

I found myself more excited for what would be the next reference, rather than the game itself.

Gotta be Portal 2. The puzzles are fun, the difficultly curve is reasonable, and the writing is fantastic. Truly the only complaint I have is that I wish there was more of it.

Outer Wilds

Schedar ,

Agreed. There is something very special about Outer Wilds

Bioshock I think, loved it so much. Excellent writing and graphic design. Wish the remaster had improved the visuals more tho

HowlsSophie ,

Yesssss loved this game. Played all three and nothing hits like the first one.

jeanofthedead ,

Truth. I still love Infinite, though. I may be in the minority for that, but it’s such a bizarre atmosphere and the imagery and soundtrack really stuck with me. Welcome to the circus of VALUE!

HowlsSophie ,

Oh geez, I’d forgotten about the circus of VALUE! Gotta emphasize it like that 😂. I think I found Infinite to be more of a mixed bag. Creepy but in a different way. All I remember is being killed by George Washington 😂

For me, probably Half-Life 2. Especially at the time? It was such a leap ahead in both technology and overall world immersion. I still revisit it sometimes and get sucked right back in.

I’ll agree with you on Beatles Rock Band too, though. It’s a work of art.

ive never played a half life game before. maybe i should start

ShovelKnightFan ,

The original Half Life is pretty fun, but I’d recommend checking out Black Mesa. It’s a remake of the original game in the same engine that Half-Life 2 uses, and changes some things for the better.

Maybe Tetris? Such a simple concept, and it’s one of the most popular games of all time.

Minecraft for similar reasons. Even if it has become more complex in recent years, the core of it is just…you can break everything and build anything. It’s hard to say that isn’t a perfect sandbox.

More personal opinion though, maybe Super Mario Odyssey. Just incredibly polished and varied with an amazing movement system.

hascat ,

Tetris is an interesting one because you’ve got 3+ decades of variations on the original, but the original is still the best. I’d argue it’s a perfect game.

neotecha ,

I personally disagree that the original is best. It’s high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.

I’m a fan of the “piece swap” feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I’ve played.
