    Im almost not sure if I want that. Most of the games I would do that for are older games from like 25 years ago, and I honestly can’t see playing them today and ever having those fond moments like I did then. In my case, the time of playing them also mattered a lot.

      Same, of course the memory of the time you played is also important. I was more asking hypothetically since this is not possible, as a game you’d love to experience again, maybe at that time also. Like go back and play it back then.

    ‘Stanley examined the question carefully, he knew the answer he gave would be important’

    Maybe the Stanley parable or the Beginners guide, but I’m not sure what undoing there effect on me would be.

        The soundtrack quickly became one of my favorites. It’s on rotation with Chrono Trigger/Cross, Xenogears, Expedition 33, and Hades.

        It's still my favorite game. The ending hit me so hard; had me messed up for a while. I just started Clair Obscure: Expedition 33 in hopes of having a game hit me as hard as Nier: Automata did. spoiler :::

        My main gripe is that replaying the story as 9s can get pretty slow, and the combat isn’t nearly as enjoyable.

    I agree with so many here, but I have a new one.

    Dredge.

    It just seemed like a fishing simulator, but it got creepier as it went on. Definitely an ending I didn’t expect. That may have been me just getting too into finding every fish.

    Great gameplay loop and played on steam deck excellently.

    Deus Ex. A strangely prescient game that had shaped how I view the world.

    The need to be observed and understood was once satisfied by God. Now we can implement the same functionality with data-mining algorithms. You will soon have your God… and you will make it with your own hands.

    TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don’t think it can be replicated.

      Likewise. Outer Wilds was an incredible experience but it’s one of those things that will inherently have zero replay value. Unless maybe you feel like doing a quick run-through as a comfort food nostalgia game, or something. It’s fairly unique in that your progression in it is based purely on your personal knowledge of what you’ve discovered in the solar system, and if you had foreknowledge there’s literally nothing stopping you from beating it on your very first launch without even doing a single time loop. There’s even an achievement for doing the same, no doubt intended to be earned once you already know everything.
