A Hat in Time. Is a phenomenal platformer collectathon. It flirts with many themes and is overall one of my favourite games.
Here's where it falls short. The online co-op is junk and doesn't work how you'd hope. The DLCs are kinda bad but it's nice to have more.
Just Cause 3. Just a total blast to go swooping around in the wingsuit and blowing up bases.
JC3 and 4 were pretty great. JC4 was really just JC3 but more of the same which was fine with me.
JC2 was amazing, I really should go back and replay that.
TimeShift, an FPS from the Xbox360/PS3 era. It was my first PS3 game played on an HDTV. The time mechanics were fantastic, the graphics were amazing to me at the time, and it was a surprisingly fun time. I would be so happy with a remake/spiritual successor.
Future Cop: LAPD
Though the game wasn't groundbreaking it was fun going around LA in a giant Mech blowing stuff up.
I really liked the ability to transform from a bipedal mech to a fast hover car which also helps with the pacing of the game.
It did introduce me to a tower defense PVP style multiplayer that my best friend and I were hooked on for a solid couple of months.
The First Tree
A beautiful personal little game about death and mourning. Got it for free because the developer gave out keys to an old forum dedicated to Dark Forces 2 editing, which basically started his career.
The Dark Pictures Anthology
Basically Until Dawn and The Quarry with lower budget. It shows but I can overlook that. They are nice little short stories that are very chill to play, considering the genre.
Biing!
A silly little sexy hospital management game. Never got far as a kid. When I managed to get further a little while ago I saw that there really wasn't that much more to the game. But it's silly and it's sexy and tickles my nostalgia.
Tetris Attack and all of the other Panel de Pon-likes. They are exactly what I want from a versus puzzle game
I don't know that Panel de Pon is a 7/10. I mean, it's no Tetris, but it's easily the best Nintendo puzzler they came up with themselves. At least an 8 or a 9, wildly underrated.
Hmmm that's difficult.
FEAR, probably. It was a 10/10 for my childhood for sure, but it's probably a 7/10 total ?
What are 7/10 games?
Most of them tbh. Two examples: Homefront: the Revolution (2016) and Maneater (2020)
Devil Daggers
Devil Daggers has a well deserved 83 on Metacritic, so... too good for this thread.
The Shadow of War games.
The Nemesis system was amazing, but the game wasn't polished and had issues.
They somehow patented the mechanic and no one else can do it. And I steady of WB making a new game with it, they made fucking Smeagole
“Suffer me now!”
If any of you vaguely like LOTR and see either of the titles come up on sale, give them a shot (or watch 5 minutes of playing first to get the feel for it).
I wish they’d come back and produce a 3rd one but the patent definitely kills that idea.
I also loved the Mad Max game that came out around the same time with a really similar gameplay feel
See, that's a problem with this concept. Shadow of Mordor is easily a point or two better than Mad Max, and probably half as much better than Shadow of War. I think of those Mad Max is a valid choice. Definitely a flat-ish AA thing that you can get into. I never quite did, but I can see it.
I rarely get into single player games but I played the second one and loved it. It felt so satisfying building this giant army and wrecking whole castles.
