What are your favorite single player games to go back to?

What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It’s kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can’t help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don’t get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

  • Halo 2, I know most cutscene quotes by memory
  • X3: Terran Conlict, huge time waster, janky, infuriating and I love it
  • Chromehounds (not really, I lost the CD and my X360 is dead (Armored Core ain’t got shit on Chromehounds, fight me))
  • Crysis 2, better looking graphics than all the AAA games I have seen in the past 3 years
  • Terraria, it’s Terraria
  • Starbound, it’s Terraria but in space
  • Valheim, it’s Terraria but you’re a 3D lowres viking (it’s low resolution textures exhalt my love for normal mapping)

Into The Breaxh, Sekiro, Psychonaut 1&2.

They are so satisfying and not too long. Factorio is a bit too demanding.

GTA IV, I don’t even like it that much, yet keep going back to it.

limeaide OP ,

Some things are just appealing bc of how familiar they are. I enjoy the Polar Express movie, but it’s not my favorite, yet I’ve watched it more than any other movie lol

LucyLastic ,

I’ve read the whole thread and nobody has said Spintires/Mudrunner/Snowrunner … it’s basically the same game, it just keeps evolving and it’s impossible to really complete because by the time you do there’s more levels released.

For me, driving big trucks through mud is repeatedly appealing.

limeaide OP ,

I’m kinda the same way with American Truck Simulator. Its a great background game so I play it once every two weeks at least

LucyLastic ,

Mmm, whereas to me the on-road truck simulators feel like drudgery, lol

Nalivai ,

Rimworld. It’s not a game for me at this point, it’s a drug that I have to take from time to time, and it takes all of your free time like a good drug would.
There are others with that effect for me, like modded Minecraft, or Factorio, or Satisfactory, or Hitman, or Skyrim, but nothing is that severe.

Same, I actively put myself offline because at this point, I’ve got so many hours into the drug that it’s embarrassing to me. Like a drug addiction.

For me it’s probably “Golden Sun” from GBA (and “Golden Sun 2”). I played them at the time on the original GBA at least 3 times each, and on emulators in phones & tablets a few more. I liked the story, the graphics, the combat system, the endless possibilities you could do, the discoverability, hidden corners, the different regions, the global map… If you haven’t tried it, I highly recommend it, it’s full of nice things.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Zirconium ,

Starbound. They’ve had a couple of big story changes over it’s development and it’s not as big as terraria. But I enjoy the soundtrack and having a spaceship and just enjoying space travel (at the expense of stealing fuel from a ghost).

Rozz ,

I haven’t played in a while, but I know I’ll go back and give it a try again.

  • Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age: Inquisition are both games I’ve played through and loved multiple times over
  • Skyrim lol but it’s infrequent for me now
  • Civ (I’ve only played 6)

If you have a legal copy of OoT you might want to check out Ship Of Harkinian or similar projects, especially SoH’s randomizer

I just started Witcher 3. It’s great and has very good low graphics mode.

Goldeneye

The first 5 of those i have installed on my phone and i play them during lunch breaks and when i have time at home the last 4 i have on switch and are just great games to revisit from time to time. Im probably on my 7th play through of icewind dale since i originally played it all those yesrs ago.

hydrospanner ,

Based on that list, you would love Neverwinter Nights too.

Mr_Dr_Oink ,

I did but i tried going back to it recently and it feels so clunky. But it was annold favourite. Nwn2 was a big improvement imo

limeaide OP ,

You just opened up a rabbit hole for me lol. I didn’t know there were so many full scale games on mobile. I had seen a couple before, but I didn’t know how deep they went. How are the controls on Baldur’s Gate I and II?

Mr_Dr_Oink , (edited )

Controls are great. Those games controls translate so well to touch screen. Them being point and click games tapping is very natural. And instead of the arrow keys you just drag the screen around. Pinch zoom for more accurate tapping of small things or to zoom out for a better view of battles.

Its like they were made for touchscreens.

I think they are a little more playable on a tablet sized screen or a foldable phone but i played alot of bg1 on my old nexus 6 phone which had a 6 inch screen.

Kotor 1 and 2 play better with a controller like a playstation/switch/xbox control or better still a control like the gamesir that holds your phone and makes it look like a switch.

I need to correct my original post. Its kotor that inhave on my phone and jedi knight on the switch
