    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. :)

    Fatal Frame
    Rule of Rose
    Clocktower (the series, but I recommend 3)
    Resident Evil
    American McGee’s Alice
    Fear Effect
    Dino Crisis

    Depending on your definition of “older” you also have:
    Alien: Isolation
    Fran Bow
    What Remains of Edith Finch
    Life is Strange

    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.

    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.

    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.
