I generally go back to the nostalgia-filled retro titles from the nes-psx eras or for a more modern experience I'll lean into Mark of the Ninja, Guacamelee, or FTL. I've also put an embarrassing number of hours into the new Tomb Raider trilogy and Breath of the Wild. BotW counts as vintage these days, right?

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I started a play through of Tomb Raider 2013 last night on my Steam Deck and I've been enjoying it so far. Controls feel a little clunky for me, but maybe that's just because I suck at using controllers lol
I've heard a lot of great things about FTL and I have it on steam, but I don't think I've ever opened it. Maybe I should start looking
It's definitely the clunkiest of the 3. I almost gave up on it but if you stick with it you'll figure it out and maybe even learn to like it. RotTR and SotTR are both much better from a control perspective. FTL is great for when you just want a chill game. It's hard but not sweaty. I really wish they had it for Android...
Minecraft (modded and unmodded)
Creeper world games
Mindustry
KSP, Skyrim, and Witcher 3. Sometimes when I particularly hate myself I'll play Dark Souls
For me it's probably "Golden Sun" from GBA (and "Golden Sun 2"). I played them at the time on the original GBA at least 3 times each, and on emulators in phones & tablets a few more. I liked the story, the graphics, the combat system, the endless possibilities you could do, the discoverability, hidden corners, the different regions, the global map... If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it, it's full of nice things.
Metroid Prime trilogy
Skyrim
Ocarina of Time
For me it’s San Andreas and Final Fantasy X
San Andreas was so ahead of it's time. I think it's one of the few open world games that managed to do it right
It’s so annoying how open world has become pretty much the default for so many games now. Especially now that games take so much time and money to develop, I can’t only think of a handful of open world games from the last 10 years that were deeper than a puddle
Into The Breaxh, Sekiro, Psychonaut 1&2.
They are so satisfying and not too long. Factorio is a bit too demanding.
Sacred Gold, the first game of the sacred saga Age of Empires 1, 2 and Age of Mythology Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy Titan Quest Grim Dawn Warhammer Dawn of War 1
Undertale
- Kingdom hearts 2
- Kingdom heart 358/2 days
- Minecraft
- Halo campaigns
- Far cry 3
Metal Gear Solid 3.
So hype for the rerelease and the remake
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic
Virginia and What Remains of Edith Finch are two of my favourite narrative experiences. I've played through both of them a few times and I'm always eager to go back.
