      2025: Clair Obscur Expedition 33.

      Even if the year is not finished, this game is such a perfect work of art on so many levels that it became the new favorite to me, and to plenty other players.

          What about it ?

          The writing, the characters, the dialogues, the story, everything is new and perfectly done. It is pure art and something like 98% of the 3+ millions players would disagree with you.

          But you must be part of that 2%, meh to each their own 🤷🏻‍♂️

          I disagree with you. The story is amazingly written. Dialogue, character motivations, their fuck ups, everything is fantastic.

      Has seriously no one mentioned The Last of Us? That’s crazy.

      I think the second should be included.

      As well as red dead redemption 2.

      The storytelling is just top tier. Better than literally almost all media made today.

      Tokyo Jungle, YES!

      A game so sadly lost to time. My partner’s PS3 still has it installed, but no idea if the hard drive is still functional…

      Missing Half-life (the first one). That game was the first one to feature scripted scenes during player interaction and it was mind-blowing. Plus, it had the most sophisticated story ever seen in an FPS before.
