Any kind of game
EDIT: changed from suggested to mentioned and made the title more clear
Haven’t seen it mentioned here, but my favorite game of all time is one that is Rarely mentioned - if ever,
The World Ends With You, originally for the DS, now on Switch.
MC Neku has 7 days to figure out wtf is going on in The Reaper’s Game, but he can’t remember anything.
Fun combat mechanics, the DS version had you fighting 2 combat encounters at the same time, one on the top screen, and the main one on the bottom screen. The sound track was amazing! I still have multiple soundbytes from that game as ringtones.
That’s funny, I’ve actually been playing through it for the first time recently. I played NEO 2 years ago and loved that, and I definitely love the og game too.
Really cool and creative game, both from gameplay and story. And mate, the music, its fucking art. Like the rest of both games, yeah.
Plus it has some bitchin songs https://youtu.be/i0569Wt-cZ0?si=xZ84zeNmAzgehLln
Love Calling, its actually my ringtone :D
Escape Velocity Nova
That game is the shit. It’s even easy to play on Windows now, which was very much not the case back in the day.
My current phone game is ∞ Loop. Just a simple puzzle-type game.
I also like a variety of solitaire card games, but the app I used to like has become quite enshittified, and I haven’t found a good replacement.
The Sexy Brutale!
It’s a murder/puzzle game and I really enjoyed it.
I really liked that game!
Airborne Kingdom
Super dodgeball for the NES.
Deceptively simple, but much deeper than it seems on first glance. Each character has 2 different special abilities that change the way you throw. Especially if you can get a few buddies to huddle around the tv with you, will keep you all entertained for hours.
Tzolk’in is my favorite game, I think. It is a board game that incorporates time in an interesting way for a worker-placement style game.
This has one of the best boards in my collection.
Fragile allegiance. Desperately needs a redo with a first person mode and better ui
Does making a list of all games not on any list count as a game? Also, what happens since that game is now on a list making the original list incorrect?
My actual answer would probably be the old SSI games on Amiga specifically for Death Knights of Krynn or similar, though I don’t think they hold up super well (it’s 1st ed D&D specifically in Dragonlance and adapted to PCs of the time).
A game that I’ve never seen mentioned online but I played the shit out of is Metal Fatigue. RTS game with huge robots. Fucking dope
Nice I picked that up in a steam sale a while back Nd haven’t tried it yet
Castle of the winds.
I had this as a kid. From a shareware compilation CD.
For the Gen-Z kids in the audience, that’s like a little snapshot of the internet that you bought at a computer show or flea market for $2, and was worse than the internet because it didn’t have any boobies on it, except it was better than the internet because your parents wouldn’t gripe at you constantly for always tying up the house’s telephone line and you barely had to wait to play anything on it.
Where was I again?
Oh yeah. I got my ass kicked by that game. It was also cool that you could set any Windows .ico file as your player character, though. You could run around as Captain Notepad or Sir Calculator the Algebraic if you wanted to.
Heres one nobody knows or talks about…
Shootout 3.
When I was about 15 (20 years ago) I made my own game on “Game Maker” and me and my mates had a heap of fun on it… I uploaded it to some old forum somewhere, but long since lost the files/website and am unable to ever play it again :(
Not a video game but a boardgame called Nightmare
Cultures 2.
Powder by Jeff lait. I think you can get it at a website called zincland or something?
It’s an old school roguelike that absolutely slaps, though its gotten significantly harder to play since the wiki stopped being hosted
