I feel like most people who have been playing video games since childhood have one or more of a select few games that they go back and replay every few years.
For me I’ve been replaying Pokémon Emerald Version recently. Nothing like nostalgia and being able to better enjoy aspects of a game you didn’t understand as a kid. ☺️
Any of the Dark Souls games. I frequently revisit them. I also seem to go back to Roller Coaster Tycoon and the Team Silent Silent Hill games.
For a old game fallout new Vegas but right now darkest dungeon it’s a good way to chill out if I’m not in mood for anything big
Spyro Trilogy, since the remaster came out I think I’ve gone back and 100% all three games twice. Spyro was the first game I got on PS1 and the nostalgia combined with better graphics is amazing
This! Plus for me Super Mario64 and Crash Bandicoot 3.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 for PS1. I still love chasing high scores in the Hangar.
Here’s a vid of the best run I’ve recorded at ~3.1 million. Not my best run (highest ever was 4.1 million) but this is the best on I have on capture.
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
Knights of the Old Republic II. Every time I play through it, I always run into little things that I’ve never found before, and it’s always fun tinkering with different character builds. It’s possible to make a “gun jedi” that specializes in blasters, and it actually kicks ass.
Even though the ending was rushed, and KOTOR 1 was more polished, I’ve always found 2’s story, themes, and characters to be deeply interesting and engaging.
One I go back to all the time is Kinetica, a racing game on the PS2 made by SantaMonicaStudios. That game needs more love 😭
Pokemon Emerald is a great choice. I’ve done it a couple of times as well.
Another of mine is Super Mario Sunshine. Loooove that game.
Also shout-out to Dark Souls Remastered. Always nice to go back to that.
For me Suikoden 2. I replay that game almost every year
SSX on Tour and Spyro og trilogy, I wouldn’t say I’d replay them again anytime soon but those are the ones I replayed the most
Super Metroid, probably started it at least forty times and finished it a dozen or more. Link to the Past was one I had started several times but never beat until I met my now wife, who had played it through often. Now it’s one of my go to games. I’ve played through Doom 1+2 quite a few time and Quake occasionally SOMA since it came out has been my go to Halloween game.
Dirt Rally and Dirt Rally 2.0 are much more recent but unparalleled rally racing games.
Final Fantasy VIII
Some other favorites:
Morrowind
Jade Cocoon
Final Fantasy X
Halo CE
Spyro Trilogy
Noita. Beats my ass on the reg, even tho’ I have close to 2000 hours in it. Maybe I just like pain?
Lmao. I relate to this hard.
It is gamecube games for me. I was bad about finishing games as a kid, but within the past year, I have finished Metroid Prime twice and Wind Waker. With the remastered versions, it just made me play them again. Might have to go back and finish Super Mario Sunshine next.
Stardew Valley, Subnautica, Portal 1 + 2
