How about Riven/Myst (2.5D), Virtual Virtual Reality (3D) or Portal 1/2 (2.5D)? Recently I found myself seeking some escapist experience. For many people computer/console games serve that purpose. I myself never owned even a GameBoy or any console despite having grown up right when those were ubiquitous. I sort of just don't care much about computer games, except if I do and then it provides for a really enjoyable time sink. But I just can't replicate the discovery based on features of games I enjoy (like the guy from the video). I'm trying games here and there but nothing clicks. It's always either too stressful (getting attacked all the time), or it's more about memorized finger acrobatics (like most games from the 90s - NES, SNES etc), or the learning curve is too flat (colloquially "too steep" if x is time) etc. I strongly feel drawn towards Cyberpunk as a genre (Beneath a Steel Sky is fun but also a little too static). A game needs a good balance of interesting story that captures the imagination as well as a high level of interactivity.
