Hello all! I was thinking about games I enjoyed so much when I played them that I still think about them nearly weekly and I was curious what games had that effect on you. For me those two games where:

  • Disco Elysium, for it’s unique gameplay, excellent vibe, and incredible story telling.
  • Stray, for it’s beautiful world, relaxing aesthetic, and insane polish / attention to detail.

I beat each of these over two years ago, and I’m still obsessing over how much I liked them. It took so much effort for summarize my love for those two games into two sentences. If you haven’t checked them out, you should!

    Definitely firewatch. The story wasn’t the strongest but the environment was so nice.

        Yes it was. Had the firewatch theme on my PS4 and that soundtrack was so calming and relaxing.

          It would have made so much more sense for the first act of the game being you and Jackie building your reputations. It also would have been the perfect time to have all those filler side quests, so then the time crunch the game says you’re under really would have felt like one.

          And can you imagine the gut punch it would have been if Jackie died AFTER you’d spent hours really getting to know him and his mom and girlfriend?
