The screenshot is from Morrowind (Running in OpenMW)
Skyrim or Fallout New Vegas
Detroit Become Human. What an absolutely amazing story game
Nier Automata
I first played it on the Switch because I didn't have a PC working then. Now I have my dream PC, and can't bring myself to play it again
A lot of good ones here already listed, some of those I've started and veered off due to busy life with kids.
What I didnt see was uncharted 4. Never played any other in the series, but bought that one from steam sales. You know when you picked up a good book which you couldnt put down but had to read through as fast as possible? Or new tv series that you had to binge? Well surprisingly uncharted 4 was that for me last year. After I was finished I felt empty: "whats now?".
A very few games have gripped me that way.
The first Uncharted, at the time, reminded me what I loved about gaming, and they've only gotten better. And just as they were basically a new Indiana Jones, the new Indy game is pretty much an open hub world Uncharted, but they both stand on their own.
Best horror: Dead Space Best story: Horizon Zero Dawn Best Multiplayer with Friends: Halo 3 Best Action: DOOM 2016
Honestly I think why HZD sticks with me is because I work in tech and see how easily plausible that scenario is.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. A game of pure charm.
I used to habitually replay it every Christmas until one year it just felt too janky. They were supposed to be remaking it but the expected release date came and went without a word and now it's just vaporware.
A masterpiece. The entire game you have the sands and can rewind all of your missteps, only to lead up to one final, ridiculous platforming challenge where they take the sands away. Like the whole game was training you for that moment. Such a unique experience.
Project wingman. I was expecting a silly arcade flight sim with a passable plot. I did not expect the emotions. Soundtrack is peak. Also hella immersive in vr.
Edit: I realized the comm after I posted. In that case I'd probably go with fallout 3. Just wandering around uncovering secrets with no guides was great. Plus being able to experience liberty prime football tossing nukes while spouting jingoistic one liners as if it was the first time would be amazing.
Metal Gear Solid
Metal gear solid
Shadow of the colossus or Transistor.
Planescape: Torment. So much to erase.
That game is too memorable. I tried replaying it a while back after not touching it in 15 years.
Five minutes in and nope, this whole story is seared into my long term memory and there’s nothing fresh yet.
I’ll try again when I’m 80.
Hollow Knight, Bioshock, Dark Souls, Resident Evil 7/8, Shadow of the Colossus, Soma, Sifu, Tunic, Outer Wilds and Firewatch.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Untitled 🪿 Game
Quake 1, Myst
Death Stranding
I went it to that totally blind and holy shit was it amazing. It's not even my usual type of game so I have no idea why I picked it up.
Assassin's Creed 2. Loved the characters, the story, the beautiful setting, the riddles... Yeah, the Parkour was frustrating sometimes, but man... what an awesome game. It's one of those games I will never touch again, because I want to remember it the way I do.
Spec Ops: The Line
"Do you feel like a hero yet?"
Also Starcraft: Brood War, Shadow Watch, and, yah, Morrowind. I took over an entire house in Balmora to serve as a treasure room. Then hit the max item limit and had to re-place everything by hand while also taking over another house.
SOTC
Myst! An oldie, but I had basically done this when the remastered version came out a few years ago and it was still a 10/10.
FixFox. A wholesome sci-fi adventure game with no combat that really hit me in the feels.
None. Every game was a product of its time, hence bound to many external factors.
Let it go... And take the chance to experience what you haven't yet, there's more to do, than can ever be done.
(on a roll with 2 Disney references, apologies)
The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
Because I'm halfway through it right now, and I think it'd be really funny if I started the game "for the first time" only to find that 1. there was already a save, 2. named what I name him, 3. with 12 hearts, and 4. on a Wii used only by me.
Skyrim, Portal 2, Slime Rancher, or the first Deus Ex.
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.
