Pong or Tetris.

For real tho, maybe System Shock 2.
It's kinda short & the reparability isn't high/immediate (over the years as memory fades, I like to replay it).

Out of point-&-click adventure games, Grim Fandango - not to experience the story again for the first time, but the superb atmosphere.
Same reason for Dank Souls 2, I wanna go to Majula for the first time again, like a proper hollow that I am.

System Shock 2 is in my top 3 games of all time.

Final Fantasy 7 Chronotrigger Secret of Mana

Can’t believe nobody mentioned Last of US.

@eru777 If your game matches the one in the screenshot and you haven't played Tamriel Rebuit yet, do it!

Chants of Sennaar, Rain World, Celeste

Ninja Gaiden NES. I only have good memories from that game. When Super Mario Bros was the baseline, Ninja Gaiden was incredible. I played so much I could finish it on demand with barely any slips.

World of Warcraft

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago

Probably World of Warcraft. That's a couple thousand hours in total as I played on and off on private servers throughout the years from 2006-2012, plus a brief stint with BfA.

Actually, no, I'd rather not forget how I saw the game evolve, even if my experience wasn't the ideal one.

I love these kings of threads because there's always some unknown to me gem in there. I had never heard of this game, but your comment and the glowing reviews have me sold and excited to go check it out. Thank you, kind internet stranger.

The non retrogaming answer is something like nomans sky where the game got better after release. But I dont wanna forget any of the old games I played and lose the memories that make me love them.

final fantasy X

[–] UKFilmNerd@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

In terms of modern games, both of the Last of Us games and Alien: Isolation. I'm sure there's loads of old games but my memory is awful.

Syberia

Surprised no one mentioned it

[–] leriotdelac@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 month ago

To the moon! The game was so emotional.

Splintercell Chaos Theory.

Adastra.

The month-long post-game depression is totally worth it.
