The screenshot is from Morrowind (Running in OpenMW)
Dark souls 1 maybe?
Or Bloodborne. Maybe XCOM Deus Ex sequels. I might need to play those again.Dragon Age: Origins
Outer Wilds
To the moon! The game was so emotional.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team and/or Explorers of Sky
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.
Portal 1 and Portal 2. Every time.
Ooh good choices
Splintercell Chaos Theory.
Good lord…
God damn it, Fisher!
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.
Ohh! Good call! Uncharted!
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.

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.
Ninja Gaiden NES. I only have good memories from that game. When Super Mario Bros was the baseline, Ninja Gaiden was incredible. I played so much I could finish it on demand with barely any slips.
Dark Souls
Edit: My bad, didn’t notice the name of the community. I sure hope DS doesn’t count as retro lol
Discovering that world for the first time was so special. Still nothing quite like it
I think it’s retro by now.
Syberia
Surprised no one mentioned it
TUNIC. It is such a unique game with such a unique puzzle that I don’t think it can be replicated.
Figuring that shit out felt like brain magic
