It’s a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away.
Are there any games where you experienced similar? While it can be a bitter sweet feeling, I know that it is a sign that I really enjoyed what I was playing and love to find these experiences.
Undertale is the game I want to experience for the first time again. Can’t believe that game is already 8 years old. The music is brilliant. The characters are all compelling. The storytelling is stellar. The graphics…they get the job done lol
Napstablook was great. Especially once you find out who his neighbor was and a bit more about why he’s so depressed. I lied on the floor with him for a solid 20 minutes on my first playthrough. Probably one of the best minor characters ever.
ETA (four hours later lol): The Bioshock trilogy as well. Booker and Elizabeth are imo the best duo ever. Plus the twist in Infinite is a special kind of mind fuck.
Undertale for sure. (I’m a long time gamer, and I consider this in my top 5 games now)
It has such a slow start, and meh graphics going into it. It took me 3 separate years trying to get into it, but once I got past the first 2 hours, man did the humour, characters and music blow me away.
If you’re worried you won’t get into it:
I’m so glad I came back and stuck with it.
I was just trying to clear something out of my library and ended up with the most powerful gaming attachment I’ve had in over a decade.
Can definitely understand there. It has a very fun vibe through how much love and attention went into developing the silly characters…
I played Undertale last week for the first time, and WOW, so many emotions! I was definitely not expecting that, even after finishing the game for the first time.
