Azem Member Oct 25, 2017 1,178 After having it installed for months, I finally got around to starting 1000xResist yesterday. After a start that was... not off-putting, but definitely putting me in a mindset where I wasn't fully engaged, I became quite engrossed in the story and made a bunch of progress in the game (I'm on chapter 6 currently, no spoilers). At around 12:30 last night, I finally forced myself to bed. I laid there in the dark with my hands resting on my tummy the stereotype of someone whose mind won't stop, and I thought to myself "God, I wish I was still playing." Era, what's the last game that you couldn't stop thinking about after turning it off for the day? A game that you couldn't wait to play again? Was it the story, was it the gameplay ... was it something fucked up? Is it a game you play with others and you cherish that time and fun together? What got stuck in your mind?  JonesiiiFromtheMoon Member Jan 18, 2018 3,151 outer wilds. I wish I could erase my memory and play again . Best game I've played in my adult life  TheBaldwin Member Feb 25, 2018 8,711 The most recent game is actully a game I am playing right now, and it's Balatro. It's just alot of fun. So simple yet with alot of depth to it at the same time  manifest73 Member Oct 28, 2017 670 I started it recently too, my answer is also 1000xResist. It's real good.   XR.

I'll second Outer Wilds. It was frequently on my mind for the few weeks I played it, often contemplating what planet I should visit next or just trying to imagine how some mechanic worked. Outside of Outer Wilds, I'd also mention Nioh 2. Can't get enough of the combat and thinking of what build/gear I should focus on next.  ClearMetal Hey, it's that sheep!

It helps that there's only autosave and only at the end/start of each day. So you're encouraged to constantly play "one more day"--a day lasting roughly 15 minutes real time--because there's always something that needs to be done or a big pay dirt that looms on the horizon.  antitrop Member Oct 25, 2017 14,739 The most recent games that come to mind are Octopath Traveler II, Baldur's Gate III, and Ghost of Tsushima, all of which I 100% completed and was left still wanting more, because I enjoyed them so much. Octopath II is one of those "erase my memory so I could play it for the first time again" games. The last game I played where I was excited to play it again when I woke up in the morning was Balatro. It really gets you thinking about the possible Joker combinations and deck strategies when you're not playing it, which makes you excited to get back to it and see what another run has in store for you.  jungius Member Sep 5, 2021 3,496 ff16, I really loved the world they presented, the road that lead to oriflamme is so memorable, also that big plains in the ash region. I want more of ff16 😭   Transistor This isn't going to go the way you think Administrator Oct 25, 2017 41,035 Washington, D.C. JonesiiiFromtheMoon said: outer wilds.

Legitimately a game that, short of MiB neuralizing your brain meat, you can not play twice.   Rocketz Prophet of Truth Member Oct 25, 2017 8,561 Metro Detroit Anno 1800. Going on vacation was the only thing that broke me from my latest save. The mind itch of doing one more thing and checking one last route is real. Next thing I know it's 2am and I'm already planning tomorrow's tasks.  WildArms Member Apr 30, 2022 2,706 Blue Protocol. More than anything. I'm glad I made the decision to play the Japanese version a month before the game officially shut down. While many others criticized the lack of content and support it had, growing up with older MMO's, I was EASILY able to look beyond that. The game was truly fun for me and... More than anything, by FAR, is the best looking Japanese game I've played, visually speaking. What I wouldn't give to go back and play in that world again...  mrmickfran The Fallen Oct 27, 2017 32,771 Gongaga Xenoblade X "Let me check out this one area...."
