Comment on Making peace with liking very few games?
ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 2 weeks agoPersonally, I would say:
- Thief 1, 2 & 3
- Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis
- Mafia 1 (not the remake)
- Gemini Rue
- Deus Ex (Game Dungeon has a great video on why the story punches so high, link to relevant segment here)
- Disco Elysium (even though I personally didn’t really care for the game due to the setting, the writing is undeniably high quality)
- A Mind Forever Voyaging
All of those games have, IMO, a tremendously good sync between gameplay and story, where everything lines up to the point where you can become fully absorbed into whatever experience the writer/designer crafted. I would say Thief accomplishes it the best, and Mafia’s and Deus Ex’s clunky gameplay do hinder the experience, but I can see what they were trying to achieve, and overall are close enough to my ideal.

That’s a fun mix, Gemini Rue was a pleasant surprise to see!
You might also enjoy Primordia given that.

Oddly enough I actually pre-ordered a phisycal copy of Primordia, and got a ways into it before stopping for some reason, never finished it. I should really go back and finish it!
