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.

    Firewatch, Hellblade, the Mass Effect trilogy, Cyberpunk 2077 to name a few. ME and CP77 are probably the ones that lodged themselves hardest in my mind by far.

      Have you played the “new” Deus Ex games, HR and MD? I’d slot them right in for my version of your list. Also Zero Dawn and Forbidden West.

        Been thinking about trying the Deus Ex games but never got around to them. Might have to give them a shot some time!

        The horizon games I’d really want to play but I’ve only got a Series X and a rather weak PC at the moment. :/

          You should give Human Revolution a go, then. It’s pretty old by now and the graphics can be turned down quite far. It should run on most things.

            Yeah, the deus ex games are available on xbox so I shouldn’t have a hard time playing those. Do they still hold up?

              Human Revolution is fantastic, still. Mankind Divided is pretty much just upgraded more of it. The only downside is that Mankind Divided leaves the story unfinished, as it was the second entry in what was intended to become a trilogy. It failed financially due some BS mismanagement by Squenix.

              But there’s hope! Eidos Montreal was acquired by Embracer Group last year, who have done much better with the management of their studios. There have been whisperings of Adam Jensen’s story being resumed at the studio.
