I completely agree with Dark Souls! That was also the title I had in mind which did groundbreaking work and paved the way for so many games since.

Haven’t played Factorio so maybe that’s one I missed again lol.

Yeah maybe, thanks for the tip.

However, I do feel that, being the groundbreaking tech of that era from which all post games practically were derived, I won’t have the same “iconic” experience today as I would have had back then. I feel like I just have to live with the fact that I missed it.

That’s okay though. Maybe some games today will be the predecessors and iconic titles of times to come ;).

Probably controversial but half life 2 for me. I got it very cheap on a sale after years of hearing how good it was. Just couldn’t get into it. Even worse, every time I felt nauseated after a couple of minutes.

I guess this is just an example of a “you had to be there” scenarios. I was there as a gamer at the time but had no funds to play all the games. I skipped on HL 2 and can’t get into it 20 years later.

Also been playing RTM with a friend the past week. Definitely fun but still pretty buggy. TBH it’s the sweet spot for us LOTR fans and Survival fans. It’s got a bit of both but does not excel in any of them.

I also do that!

Troy, a total war saga. This is my first total war experience and I’m having a blast. Still getting to know all the mechanics though

Interesting. I found ER way easier than Bloodborne. I played Bloodborne first though and was not yet familiar with the genre as much…

Why skip far cry 1&2? 1 is a little dated yes but iconic in itself. The setting of far cry 2 is one of the most unique in gaming history and it brought some very interesting mechanics into gaming which were revolutionary for that time.

There might be a lot of nostalgia speaking here though. I had so much fun with both games!
