for me mine are 1. Elden Ring, 2. RDR2 3. BOTW, all because they genuinely blew my mind when playing them for the first time and changed how I saw and played video games.

    Right? I never tried it online for years either, though my friends and I did a lot of local co-op. Even though online is in the name, I actually think the offline is what really makes the game.

    Anyway, there was just something beautiful to me about that drop chart. You could hunt specific things with specific characters, and the rates made most of it feel rare but findable.

    I don’t know how they struck that sweetspot so perfectly. Had all the hook of an mmo while still being grounded and approachable.

      I bet there’s private PSO servers you could hop back into. I’m currently playing PSU on Clemantine and it’s an amazing nostalgia experience.
