What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?

  • Minecraft
  • Furi
  • Mario 64
  • Super Mario World
  • GTA SA and Vice City

It’s kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.

I know them so well that I can’t help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don’t get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.

    I generally go back to the nostalgia-filled retro titles from the nes-psx eras or for a more modern experience I’ll lean into Mark of the Ninja, Guacamelee, or FTL. I’ve also put an embarrassing number of hours into the new Tomb Raider trilogy and Breath of the Wild. BotW counts as vintage these days, right?

      I started a play through of Tomb Raider 2013 last night on my Steam Deck and I’ve been enjoying it so far. Controls feel a little clunky for me, but maybe that’s just because I suck at using controllers lol

      I’ve heard a lot of great things about FTL and I have it on steam, but I don’t think I’ve ever opened it. Maybe I should start looking

        It’s definitely the clunkiest of the 3. I almost gave up on it but if you stick with it you’ll figure it out and maybe even learn to like it. RotTR and SotTR are both much better from a control perspective. FTL is great for when you just want a chill game. It’s hard but not sweaty. I really wish they had it for Android…
