Have you played a game that stayed in your head long after you played it?

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.

    I received Eternal Darkness for Christmas in 2002. I will NEVER forget the feelings that game inspired in me thanks to the unique “sanity” system and creepy lovecraftian atmosphere.

    I remember my brothers and I huddled around the basement TV into the wee hours of the morning over our Christmas holiday totally creeped out but so driven to complete the story that we pressed onward.

    What a fantastic game that was and I’m so grateful for those memories with my brothers. I don’t think I’ve ever had such a deep connection with a game since.

        It freaked my christian parents out so much I had to hide the game from them.

      Such a fucking cool game. Nobody who played that back in 2003 wasn’t impressed.
