Okay. If you could play any videogame again for the first time, what would it be?
Portal.
I’ll never forget the day I started playing this game. It was so cool and so different from anything else I had played that I couldn’t stop playing, and finished the game in one session. Awesome night!
Outer Wilds. A lot of games have a high level of replayability, but your first playthrough of Outer Wilds is something you never get back.
My buddy gifted me this game so he could experience my first playthrough as well.
All of us degenerate Outer Wilds enjoyers spreading it to our friends just for the merest shadow of the feeling we’ve lost and can never recapture…
Really didn’t think they could keep that same sense of mystery and wonder with the DLC, but they absolutely smashed it. And yes, this was also my immediate thought in answer to the question.
That’s one of those that I really gotta finish. I just wish the mouse and keyboard controls were a little better.
This is the answer, and for anyone who hasn’t played Outer Wilds it’s still their answer and they just don’t know it yet.
Return of the Obra Dinn. Discovering the story and mystery for the first time, putting the pieces together, looking for clues and drawing conclusions, it was a fantastic experience that can never be repeated so long as you remember even fragments of it.
There are many, but I think I would take Morrowind, it was magical as a kid.
Ultima Online maybe.
Im with you uo was magical
Easy, the game that started it all for me - Zork.
Chrono Trigger.
I get to run through all 13 endings again? Experience all those plot twists and storylines? Yes. Please.
That first playthrough on New Game + was magical.
It still blows my mind that a game that old had so many different endings and playthroughs that felt unique. And the soundtrack is legendary.
Horizon Zero Down. My favorite game ever.
Final Fantasy IX. Played it about 4 times in my life now, but I’d love to experience it again for the first time.
Hollow Knight, easily. Most any Metroidvania would qualify, but HK is really something special in those regards.
Oblivion. As much shit as it gets, I think it’s still the best Elder Scrolls game to date, with Morrowind as a close second.
Agree. First elder scrolls. I prefer oblivion to Skyrim. It was Soo buggy but so good. I just preferred the vibe. It was more fun and less serious.
it’ll always be ocarina of time because that game really kickstarted my intense love for gaming in general
I’m stuck between three picks.
Morrowind, Tony Hawks Pro Skater, and Kingdom Hearts.
Morrowind for sure. Not knowing all the tricks to break the game would refresh the immersion.
