I’m not necessarily talking about moment-to-moment gameplay or mechanics (though I could see some interesting points being made about, for example, RTS gameplay or RPG character building influence how you approached “strategy” in your own life).
What I’m trying to get at are the games you felt really had something to say.
For example, while I’m by no means the biggest fan (only ever played 2 and V), playing MGS V recently (and catching up on the background a bit) has created this sense in me, and I wondered where else one might have experienced that from vidya
Yeah they are absolutely great. Shame they've been slacking on Part 3 for over a decade.
If you missed it, they have an entire album covering 80s songs and many of them end up better than the original, imo. Worth checking as well.
