For me, Outer Wilds would be that game. I feel like I haven't stopped thinking about it since I beat it a couple years ago.
[–] jacktherippah@lemmy.world 7 points 3 years ago (3 children) Hades is so good. Waiting for Hades 2. Aaaaany day now. permalink fedilink source hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] flubba86@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) I've tried to like Hades a few times over the years since it came out. I know I'm in the minority, it's generally a well liked game, but I just don't see the appeal. The gameplay loop is repetitive, difficult, and unrewarding, the main character is deliberately unlikable, the dialogue with the NPCs in the hub is repetitive and trying too hard to be funny. I didn't enjoy a single second playing that game, and its one I actually paid real money for, I bought it genuinely wanted to like it. I suppose I'm not the target audience. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Konn@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Man, that's actually so sad. But I guess most gamers will find that one game they want to like (because it's critically acclaimed, their friends are super into it, etc.), but it just won't work. I had that experience with Valheim. On paper it looks like a fun viking-esque Minecraft with a bit more RPG elements. In practice I just found out cumbersome and the gameplay loop felt just plain boring/unsatisfying. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OtterPops@beehaw.org 1 point 3 years ago Yes! Hades is definitely in my top 5 ganes. And Supergiant is one of the few devs, maybe the only one, that I don't have any reservations about playing their games in early access. I can't wait to hear more about the sequel. permalink fedilink source parent
