Searching for some kind of rpg/ adventure game, that makes you feel what you felt once, but all you do is searching, you never get to actually play something, because everything you find, doesnt seem to be the right thing, you just search and read comments and move on -_-

Its hard to say what Im even looking for..
The last games that made me kinda happy were: Underrail, xenonauts, Bloodborne, rdr2...

Not yet released games I keep an eye on are: xenonauts 2, the outer worlds, cyberpunk, pantheon: rise of the fallen, official wow vanilla server, starship citizen

What was your latest gem you found, that made you happy?

Kind regards

You'll never ever feel what you felt in the past.
That's because you are not the same person anymore, and you've seen too much already, to get really surprised by anything "new".

Well, actually you can do that. However it's hard to achieve.

First of all, it's not about gaming. It's about your life schedule. You have to make it clean or almost clean and that is not easy. You have to turn off the phone and other notifications. You have to make it cool with your family, partner and even pet. And then... you can try.

It won't work every time, but it may work, what is good enough. Last time I achieved it yesterday with the Prisoner of Ice. I got it previously on Christmas 2017 with the Legend of Kyrandia.

Just like in 90's. Belive me, just like in 90's.

For me classic adventure games are the best. They really can give me a few hours of "past" and childlish happiness with games. I really enjoy that moments. But it's not about games, it's about our current life and the burden of responsibility.

Sometimes I jsut like to play a game from an era I'm nostalgic for even if I'm unfamiliar with the game. Sometimes it can take me back to that time. Lately that hasn't been happening though.

How to create circumstances where you enjoy games more than usual.

Step 1: Make sure you have something really urgent and important to postpone.
Step 2: Fire up a game.
Step 3: ???
Step 4: Profit.

It may sound like a joke, but that may be the condition in which games are the most enjoyable.

Like... the house is on fire? :-P

It's not warm yet - we still have time...

This is undoubtably true.

Well, most recently an unknown game that made me happy was SaGa 3.

I came to think of something, alternating showers. Use that trick, but with games.

Start up DOTA 2, LoL or CS:GO, any toxic misery simulator of your choice. If you fire up something else after that, it will give you a warm and fuzzy feeling.

So theoretically you could feel similiar excitement again if gameplay and depth would alter to a point where you would not be able to predict the whole game mechanics easily from start off.

An example of a game that failed me lately: I had to quit the game " the rise of the tomb raider" after a few hours, because everything feels like running on rails, everything felt like it was placed there for me.

An example of a game that at least for the first hours left me clueless and eager for more: RDR2's randomly generated world events and Worlddetails managed to make me wonder what is there still to find ?!

Another one is Bloodborne as the first souls game I ever played, it made me happy lately, as the game did not explain much and made me wonder how it even works.


I somehow have a good feeling about what cyberpunk could let us experience. Oh god... yes, I hate to agree there, this was painful to read. :D

Sure - in theory, everything is possible.

Well that's nice - and it may have that certain feeling of awe for everyone playing it (or any game like it) for the first time.
But is it the same for someone who played a lot of similar games in the past?
After all, the same random events and world details could be found in other open world games already.
So - was it your first open world game, or your first RDR?

Again - others might disagree.
Some may see it as entertaining, and yet it's just more of the same for them, because they played similar games in the past.

Is it on gog ? I wasnt able to find it.

I'm feeling that with Parkitect. I'm reliving the old Rollercoaster Tycoon experience, but new-and-improved. It's very well-done and an improvement over the classics. (Maybe not 3, but certainly 1 and 2.)

But I was also totally wowed last weekend with Tesla vs Lovecraft. I've never enjoyed a twin-stick shooter like I did that one before. It was amazing to play co-op on the same screen.

Ghost of a Tale. I only just finished it a couple of days ago. It pretty much immediately became one of my favorite games of all time. I can't praise it enough.

The story, characters and most of all worldbuilding and mood are absolutely stellar. The graphics are almost painfuly beautiful. The world is so pretty and detailed it's I think the only game I ever played where I didn't mind backtracking and fetch-quests at all, because any excuse and opportunity to explore all the nooks and crannies is welcome. It's the first game in ages that I genuinely felt in awe of. It's exactly the kind of adventure I always look for in games, and so very rarely find.
