I feel the exact same way, I just replayed metal gear solid 2 on ps2 and I was amazed they can make a game that deep on ps2, it’s so intricate and there are so many little details that just isn’t in games anymore, the problem is deadlines and the cost of making games , developers are afraid to take risks because they need to be able to sell as many copies as possible and reach a larger audience to make profit, that and studios rush development to hit deadlines and it takes away the ability to make interactive worlds and characters, now most games are the same gameplay with different stories and looks,

My character died within the first 5 min of starting Disco Elysium, while trying to put on his pants in his hotel room. That's when I realised this game's environment was unlike any other! 😅 Nice game though!

Way of the Samurai is one of the best small open worlds for sure. I've played and own all of them and to this day I love them. I didn't get it as a kid but still had fun, and now that I do actually understand it's even better!

The first Dead Rising harkens back to a time when games didn't hold your hand all the time. The time management dynamic is one of the things that made the game stand out. Was it frustrating at times? Sure, but trying to save as many survivors as possible without missing any story beats is incredibly satisfying. No other Dead Rising game after it nailed that sense of stress and relief like the first one did.

It was also a great thing for replayability too. I don't think it was possible to save everyone or see everything in a single playthrough, so on your second or third playthrough you'd try and target other people to save or try and uncover all of the story etc. You'd try and find things you'd missed the first time through. The more you played it, the more you learned the lay of the land, and _where_ things were, _when_ things happened, best routes to take to get as much done in one go etc and you'd start to become much more efficient with every playthrough. It was a bit like the Hitman games in that regard. The more times you play it, the better you get at it.

Tchia is super underrated. The exploration is so much fun and beautiful. Theres some moments too where it stops being a “kid” game and really makes you go wtf. You can feel the love they put into it beginning to end.

The thing that always stood out to me about Bully was how the game simulated time and and mundane activities. You had Halloween, Christmas etc to look forward to in the upcoming school year where you could go trick or treating or throw snow balls. It was such a unique system, I really miss it. Used to repeat the Halloween night over and over.

The Witness has some pretty cool mechanics. The developers must have thought that most people would just look up the solutions online (I'm guilty of that lol) and so they put a puzzle at the very end that's randomized (rendering guides useless) and would require your explicit understanding of the puzzles you've been doing throughout the game so you can't cheat your way through it.

Games like RDR2 and Kingdom Come Deliverance with big open world RPG's but daily NPC lives and routines which can be affected by dropping alcohol in their food and making them too drunk to walk or leaving poisoned food in their chest kind of combined with Skyrim and Fallout 4 volume of exploration and quests and characters has really kind of set the bar to the standard of where we expect it to be right now. We want big open RPG worlds which have very mundane boring and detailed normal things because you get to choose to do something crazy, go explore the wilds and fight wolves or steal a train or sneak into a castle and raise an army to take over the land... so going fishing and picking some herbs to cook that fish for your dinner so you don't get hungry in your bank heist just makes everything feel so much more earned and invested and risky and exciting and fun and new and meaningful.

THIS is the video ive been waiting on!

Steambot Chronicles for the PS2 will always stand out to be as a truly unique title. You had a control scheme that used the triggers for the arms of your robot, the joysticks for the legs, and had to use them all in sync to move efficiently across the world and in combat. There was a dialogue system that let you act just about in any manner you wanted. You could be nice, you could be mean, you could act weird and salute everyone as your preferred method of greeting. Hell, within the first 10 minutes of gameplay, you could dress yourself like a cowboy. Why? Because you found a hat, boots, gloves, and the clothes during your early exploration. And the game would reflect this, too, with a reputation system of sorts where you gained a new "title" every few days depending on your actions and your choice of outfits. All of that said, the game wasn't without flaws, it was clunky in the controls, it had a weird failstate system where only random battles could get you a game over, and the visuals were pretty meh for a 2006 PS2 title. Still, I'd do anything to see the cancelled sequel get revived, or even a remake of the original that could expand and refine many of the original's mechanics.

Arkham Asylum is my personal pick. Just the right size, dense with content and no filler.

the dead rising stuff has always been some of my best memories and i would say it turn me into the gamer i am. even though im one of those older mil simy type most the time now days . this video did inspire me to download dead rising and see what this 4080 can do , Wolfenstein blew me away

7:15 I used to think that the time limit hurt the game too, until I played the 4th game. In the first game, there was a sense of urgency and care that went into where you were gonna go and what you were gonna do while you had the time to do it. The 4th game did away with that, which was nice at first until I realized that without the timer it really kills the tension of what you are doing. I see now that Dead Rising is meant to be played multiple times to get everything you can out of it.

You articulated that perfectly, the whole point of gaming is to have fun, immersing yourself in the world and having complete control over the actions, story narrative, and enjoying the surrounding and hard work of the developers. That's why I gamed so much growing up when I wasn't at school, out with friends, or at judo. Gaming was alot more enjoyable for killing time then watching tape after tape/dvd after dvd, or waiting for your favourite show to come on. As a kid/teen, the closest I got to that level of immersion was reading. That's also why I bought and played Mafia Definitive Edition, Hitman 3 twice, and got back into rdr2 during the pandemic. I also wanted to continue and beat Mafia after almost 20 years! I also came home from work and played FH5 during a huge snowstorm late December 2023 and imagined I was in Mexico!

Prey was a wicked sick game and felt so unique but familiar at the same time

Size doesn’t matter, it’s how you use it

That’s what she said

I like this idea of a video. I’m gonna go finish Prey & try Tchia.

Way of the samurai 1+2 were some of my most favorite childhood games! cool to see the series on this list.

The Majora's Mask 3D remake is to me worse than the original, since a lot of the things that people loved in the original are gone in the remake. This will include the fast Zora swimming and Deku Link water skips.

Wish Hogwarts Legacy used the Bully model

​@pleucido I agree, so much potential but still a solid harry potter game.

Bully is still my all time favorite game! Still play it regularly, completed the game 20 times or so and can speak alot of the lines from the game haha.

I never heard of this Way of The Samurai series, but man I gotta try it!!

I'm a simple man, I see Dead Rising 1, I upvote.

TLDR: Dont buy it's short and boring

im online too much

Gothic 1 and 2 are fantastic at this. Small maps, but packed with hidden details and memorable locations, which can be used for navigation instead of relying on a map.

I didn’t play Prey until it had been out for 2 years. One of my all time favorites.

yo

Arkham asylum?

Love you gameranx!

Excellent list! I'm playing through System Shock 2 right now and thought of it as a competitor for this list as well. I need to replay Prey as sometime, too. And Dead Rising 1 and 2 are so good! I love them but they're challenging to play - you really have to focus to get through them, and you'll feel stressed doing so.
