Games that have stuck with you? (lemm.ee)

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.

The STALKER series really stuck with me for some reason.It's probably the familiarity of the landscape/atmosphere. Post apoc eastern Europe isn't that much different from normal eastern Europe lol

Barotrauma also stuck with me because of the atmosphere. Amazing game to play solo and feel the weight of the setting, although the bots you play with are a bit iffy

Shadows of Chernobyl is a game I still think about, even though I haven't played it in like 12 years. That's a sign of a great game.

The new one is probably going to be awesome, too. I just hope they don't ruin it with monetization.

Yes to both! But especially Barotrauma! Really unique atmosphere to that game and such a rich selection of gameplay mechanics I'm always fighting off the desire to start another game!

I even get lost just building convoluted, overcomplicated and, as a result, buggy submarines in the editor.

Man, I love that game. It might be the greatest unsung game to come out in the last few years. My only problem is being a misanthrope, and scared of the general multiplaying public, I'm always intimidated by public games, but I'd love to convince enough buddies to play a campaign through. As you say, you lose some of the existential dread, but I'd love to explore some of the roleplaying aspects and more complicated gameplay loops, and the bots are a liability (although so much better than they were!).

My only problem is being a misanthrope, and scared of the general multiplaying public, I’m always intimidated by public games, but I’d love to convince enough buddies to play a campaign through.

I have 183 hours in Barotrauma, split between multiplayer and the sub editor (and a little bit of testing my sub alone). I have never played a public game or single player, it has basically all been the campaign with friends.

Most recently, I've been hosting occasional Barotrauma events with my inclusive gaming community, each one continuing the campaign we started early this year. The last event was just over the weekend. I don't know when the next Barotrauma event will be, yet, but anyone who can follow our Code of Conduct is welcome to join!
