    Master Of Orion. Both the original, it’s sequel and the modern remake. It’s nice to play something with different pacing from other games. And the random outcomes from AI throughout the game’s progression keeps things spicy from playthrough to playthrough.

    Giants: Citizen Kabuto

    It was a kinda janky 3D Action Adventure from around 2000. Back then it had really beautiful and colorful graphics. I remember playing it on my first “real” PC and being amazed by how it looked.

    It also stands out to me for being actually funny and comitting to being a comedy game.

      Nobody can hate that game. Damn that was gold. I believe it’s well beloved, tho not widely remembered

      I loved this game! The humour was my favourite part - very dry and very British. A fun shooter with a lot of variety. Amazing soundtrack by Jeremy Soule. I found the game very difficult, though - I doubt I ever got close to finishing it. How about you?

    Pretty much any of the Zachtronics games. Shenzen I/O, ExaPunks, Opus Magnum, and Last Call BBS are all fun “puzzle” games for programmers and people with programmer brains.

    I appreciate overwatch, because the sequel cured my videogame addiction (it’s so much worse)

    Metroid other m. Far from best game in the series, a lot easier than the other games, but i found the presentation really fun.

    The dodging and kill moves i found satisfying and the boss fights were. The cut scenes were a bit too long buy i enjoyed the game

      Yeah, this really is a game that the story killed. The gameplay is tight and fun, and overall it’s a fun experiment in the series that was ruined by the creator of the series completely misunderstanding why people like Samus as a character.

        Well part of my unpopular opinion is that the story isn’t that bad. To me the flashbacks arent so bad, it makes sense that samus was rebellious, she was young at the time and going through a phase but it also explains why she is a rogue hunter.

        The part that is annoying is the present timeline where samus has completely abandoned the rebelliousness and will risk her own life in order to not disobey orders from someone who A) isn’t her commanding officer and B) she disobeyed in the past
