- em-bee 2mo agoi loved myst online, the multiplayer version. it's still going actually. game preferences vary.
- ChickeNES 2mo ago> game preferences vary. True! But for me Myst was one of those super-hyped-up titles that failed to live up to its reputation. And I'm not a youngun, I started on NES/SNES! I'm not convinced GP isn't relying more on nostalgia than a real sampling of current titles.
- insane_dreamer 2mo agofair point -- graybeard here (without the beard :)) I did stop gaming ~15 years ago, but I have tried to find good games for my (now teenage) kids, so I have tried to research new games even if I haven't played them myself. I haven't found anything on the level of Myst/Riven/Exile. You know what else they don't make anymore? Good split/screen coop games, like Splinter Cell. Everything is online multiplayer, but no more being able to sit on a couch and play together (other than Nintendo games, racing games). Same for good ol' LAN games. And sure, it's convenient to just game from home, but there's nothing like everyone lugging their boxes over to your place and setting them up on the dining room table for a pizza-fueled all nighter :)
- insane_dreamer 2mo agook, that's just mean :)
- ChickeNES 2mo agoBut honest! I do disagree that there aren't great games being made now, from Factorio to Animal Well. Is it possible it's harder for you to find worthwhile games in 2026 vs 1996? I probably wouldn't disagree, was a lot easier to follow the whole industry in the pages of EGM back then. :P
