- Furi
- Mario 64
- Super Mario World
- GTA SA and Vice City
It’s kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.
I know them so well that I can’t help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don’t get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.
XCOM 2012 is my favourite turn based stratedy game, I really like the Long War mod. Saving earth from an alien invasion is such a cool fantasy.
Assassin’s Creed Odyssey because I love Greek history and mythology, so being able to explore that part of the world is really appealing to me.
Warhammer 40k Dawn of War. It’s just the best 40k game. I wish Relic would remaster it.
Sunless Sea. It’s one of my favourite visual novels, and it has RPG elements. The writing is hilarious, and weird. It’s like halfway between Charles Dickens and HP Lovecraft. Pilot a ship around a vast underground sea, fighting monsters and talking to Victorian wierdos.
Spelunky. I’ve been playing it for 10 years now, and completed it hundreds of times. I’d recommend it a lot.
STALKER Call of Pripyat. It’s an alternative history first-person shooter set in the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl power plant. It’s semi open world, and unlike any other game I’ve played for its story and atmosphere.
