What games of older generations would you put up? i dont mind the genre really, id would just love to hear yalls suggestions.
Portal!
Calling this game “older” is hurting my soul, though.
if it makes you feel any better, you dealt psychic damage to me as well
Obvious one, but the original Tomb Raider.
How old are we talking? Final Fantasy VI, Super Metroid, Resident Evil 2, and the OG Tomb Raider series are all pretty old but great.
Portal, Portal 2, Mirror’s Edge, Alien Isolation, Child of Light, Celeste, Tales of Berseria, Final Fantasy XIII, Slime Rancher, the newer Tomb Raifer games, and A Plague Tale are a few games from previous gens that hold up really well.
A more recent game that flew under a lot of people’s radars is Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and it was a lot of fun. Also, Atelier Ryza and Alba: A Wildlife Adventure are very worth mentioning, too. :)
Atelier Ryza
Don’t forget the rest of Atelier series!
Don’t forget Parasite Eve!
Ms. Pacman :)
Beyond Good & Evil
i remember when i was a lil gal, i had trouble with the first block pushing puzzle lmao
It’s a cult classic for a reason
But Nietzsche was a boy!!
I started playing this for the first time earlier today. Only 3 hours in, but I can already tell why it has a very adamant fan base to this day.
Tomb Raider
Fatal Frame
Rule of Rose
Clocktower (the series, but I recommend 3)
Resident Evil
American McGee’s Alice
Fear Effect
Dino CrisisDepending on your definition of “older” you also have:
Alien: Isolation
Fran Bow
What Remains of Edith Finch
Life is StrangeWhat Remains Of Edith Finch is downright amazing.
Iji is a free game released in 2008. Sidescrolling shooter with a story, fun boss fights, and a great soundtrack. It’s really a shame it isn’t as well known in these circles, it’s quite good.
Trying to think of some obscure, unknown games: Eien no Filena, a JRPG on the Super Nintendo. The protagonist is a woman pretending to be a man as a lower class citizen forced to be a gladiator. Awkwardness ensues when she is “assigned” a wife and the men around her start being very confused about their sexuality.
EDIT: Just remembered Perfect Dark
NOLF huh, thats a new one for me, thanks
NOLF was great, it just had a bad timing with the release
I believe all Elder Scrolls (at least the mainline games: Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim) let you select your character’s gender.
Also, what is “old”? Mass Effect 1 is already 15 years old.
A bit late to the thread, but I just wanted to say Beyond Two Souls recently had its 10 year anniversary, if that counts as old.
Siberia 100%.
Some of these aren’t that old, but still…
Blades of Time - fun hack & slash
Crosscode - great SNES inspired action rpg
Gianna Sisters - platformer, has co-op
Icey - another hack & slash
Mirror’s Edge - first person parkour simulator with a great main character and good story
Psuedoregalia - short indie metroidvania, best movement mechanics of any game in a long time
Transistor - awesome story, interesting mechanics.
Parasite Eve (never played it myself but I know it’s considered a classic)
I fucking loved Parasite Eve.
