I feel like most people who have been playing video games since childhood have one or more of a select few games that they go back and replay every few years.
For me I’ve been replaying Pokémon Emerald Version recently. Nothing like nostalgia and being able to better enjoy aspects of a game you didn’t understand as a kid. ☺️
Super Metroid, probably started it at least forty times and finished it a dozen or more. Link to the Past was one I had started several times but never beat until I met my now wife, who had played it through often. Now it’s one of my go to games. I’ve played through Doom 1+2 quite a few time and Quake occasionally SOMA since it came out has been my go to Halloween game.
Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0 are much more recent but unparalleled rally racing games.
For a old game fallout new Vegas but right now darkest dungeon it’s a good way to chill out if I’m not in mood for anything big
Any of the Dark Souls games. I frequently revisit them. I also seem to go back to Roller Coaster Tycoon and the Team Silent Silent Hill games.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 for PS1. I still love chasing high scores in the Hangar.
Here’s a vid of the best run I’ve recorded at ~3.1 million. Not my best run (highest ever was 4.1 million) but this is the best on I have on capture.
Also, for some reason I really like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers for the SNES. I’ve played it so much I can beat the whole game in just over 30 mins on a single life.
Final Fantasy VIII
Some other favorites:
Morrowind
Jade Cocoon
Final Fantasy X
Halo CE
Spyro Trilogy
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Noita. Beats my ass on the reg, even tho’ I have close to 2000 hours in it. Maybe I just like pain?
Lmao. I relate to this hard.
Spyro Trilogy, since the remaster came out I think I’ve gone back and 100% all three games twice. Spyro was the first game I got on PS1 and the nostalgia combined with better graphics is amazing
Some of my best gaming memories are playing Spyro 3 with family when I was just a kid. The game is so easy to pickup and play, no matter how many times you’ve done it.
The music, the levels, playable characters it hit a home run in all of them.
This! Plus for me Super Mario64 and Crash Bandicoot 3.
My mind was blown the first my cousin brought over his N64, we had not played anything but NES / SNES. Mario 64 was the only game he had and it felt like it came out of this world.
