>The mission is simple
Boy that was a lie 🤣🤣🤣
This game and Mass Effect. Mass effect just made me realise that if alien life did exist then chances are humanity would be in deep trouble. Spec-Ops the line made me realise just how fragile we are as humans.
Soma
This the one that was inspired by heart of darkness?
Factorio. When my wife came in at 7 AM and asked me why I didn’t sleep. I thought it was like midnight at the latest. That game sucks you in man.
The juggernauts on this game are an absolute menace lol

This and Brothers in arms hells highway. Top comments going to end up as RDR2 though lol.
the last level/end scene of halo reach. hit real hard.
This is either 1A or 1B for me. The other is Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. I remember calling both of my brothers after beating it and telling them I loved them. They were both a little weirded out, but the game put me in quite a headspace.
Ok so have you guys also >!mowed down the civilians after they killed our squadmate or what? I even reloaded and shoot again lmao!< no immersion can make me feel bad about
Oh my God, that game ruined me. I remember staring at the ceiling for like 2 hours when I finished it

Chapter 10 Laura. Evil Within
I remember reaching the penthouse and slowly realizing everything after Konrad appears from behind the painting
Deus Ex Human Revolution. “I never asked for this”.
Halo 3. The thought of chief not making it broke my heart as a kid. Now that time has passed, and seen how much 343i killed halo. I wish the end of Halo 3 was the end of Halo.
Life is Strange
Sadly there’s no way to buy this game legitimately other than sailing the high sea
Soma
Disco Elysium like every 5 minutes
Fuck I hated this game in the best way possible .
This one forever sticks out for me as one of the best narrative games out there quite honestly
Outer Wilds
Bastion.
So, at the beginning of the game there’s a terrible apocalypse that destroys the world and you’re searching for a way to go back and prevent it. As you progress through the game, you meet up with a few other survivors.
You meet a girl named Zia, and as you’re approaching the endgame, you begin to learn more about her backstory. And right before you find a way to revert time to before the cataclysm, you find out she was a refugee living in fear and despair, and pushing the reset button will drop her right back into it. She tells you how much her life has gotten better since the cataclysm freed her and you found her.
And I got to the big moment, and I couldn’t push the reset button.
(It’s also heavily implied that they’ll just fuck it up again and the cataclysm will happen again anyway, but at that moment, I couldn’t bring myself to save the world because of what it would do to her.)
That was the first time I ever played a game where giving a shit about an NPC really changed my plans.
I remember explicitly not wanting to do what the game tells me to do (had no spoilers), and it did not allow me. And 10 minutes later the game tells me to feel bad about the action I did not want to do in the first place, but had been forced to.
What am I even to reevaluate? Poor game design?
No one mention spiritfarer?
Signalis put me through all the stages of grief when I played it. I cried like I lost my own wife when I got to the end.
Knight of the Old Republic. Playing on the dark side is easy because being an asshole isn’t that complicated… Playing on the light side though makes you realize that you might not be as good of a person as you thought you were.
