    ‘Stanley examined the question carefully, he knew the answer he gave would be important’

    Maybe the Stanley parable or the Beginners guide, but I’m not sure what undoing there effect on me would be.

      Agree, sequel is more of the same, but at the same time isn’t anything close enough.

      Similar style is prey 2017 and deathloop. I love being rewarded for what my favourite streamer calls “being a nosy bastard”.

        Seriously? :) It was an ok story but the guy was so annoying and the QT events soooooo frustrating. Just make it a real adventure.

        The shaun shaun thing reminds me a lot of this character in lost that had nothing else to do but run around shouting WALT WALT all the time :P

      It took me about five nights to get through Heavy Rain, and every night I went to bed feeling like I’d been punched repeatedly in the gut.

      Fantastic game that I consider one of my all-time favorites… and I’d NEVER want to go through that again.

      That game was so good. At one point you telepathically delve into the mind of a giant lungfish and it feels completely rational to do so.

    INLAND EMPIRE — You know full well what the answer would be.

    SHIVERS — It is written on *the city itself*.

    ELECTROCHEMISTRY (Medium: Failure) — It’s Schedule One, right?

        The soundtrack quickly became one of my favorites. It’s on rotation with Chrono Trigger/Cross, Xenogears, Expedition 33, and Hades.

        It's still my favorite game. The ending hit me so hard; had me messed up for a while. I just started Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 in hopes of having a game hit me as hard as Nier: Automata did. spoiler :::

        My main gripe is that replaying the story as 9s can get pretty slow, and the combat isn’t nearly as enjoyable.

      Shadow of the Colossus for sure. Such a compelling story shown and not told. So incredible experiencing in that first play through.

    I want to say “Baldur’s Gate 1+2”, but I’m honestly not sure that I’d have the patience to learn the fight system nowadays. I still never finished the Throne of Bhaal expansion (even though it actually finishes the story of the first two games, it’s basically Baldur’s Gate 3), because high level play becomes such a hassle.

    Second retro favourite after that is probably Pillars of Eternity 2, the atmosphere wasn’t as good as in PoE 1 but the gameplay is way better. I’d definitely be up for playing that right now.
