If you could only re-experience from new one game (like total immersion, wide-eyed wonder-at-the-majesty-of-it-all re-experience) and had yet to pick a console (Xbox versus PlayStation), what game on which console and why? (and feel free to remark on ideal controllers, add-ons, etc.)

I was hoping Starfield might be that kind of galvanizing experience, but the reviews are pretty underwhelming. So now casting about for the real deal.

I would have to say Elden Ring. Just walking out to see limgrave and all of it's glory and the pure joy of a non linear souls like with exploration I've never experienced before made this a top 5 best game ever.

I played it on PlayStation 4 and quite honestly it felt great with the trackpad and the placement of the sticks where I could really feel responsive with my movement in PVP.

Playing new game is fun but man I would pay to have a brain injury to forget everything about Elden Ring just to experience it for the first time.

Hard to pick, but it's between 2, with a couple runners up. N64 Zelda OoT or PS2 Final Fantasy X

I played each so many times, and would love to have that experience for the first time again.

Probably Bioshock. First thing that came to mind. Such an amazing experience.

Tough one.

  • Braid on Xbox 360 was big for me
  • the personal significance of Bastion on my Mac after college is truly hard to quantify
  • Outer Wilds Xbone. IYKYK.

Probably a tie going to Beyond Good & Evil and Shadow of the Colossus on PS2.

Best I can narrow down to
