Resteem’d! I like this post, Bengy, and I absolutely share yer sentiments about Gone Home.

Anyways, if we’re on the topic of sharing emotion-impacting games: Undertale (all routes, but I did Pacifist Neutral and True Pacifist only), Doom 2016 (here’s to Doom Eternal!), A Hat in Time (here’s to their upcoming DLC!), PayDay 2 (coop and singleplayer mode) and Sam&Max (Telltale’s game). I, as an eclectic gamer, love them to death and love how they present their gameplay and story. And having all that while still having gravitas in the gaming sphere, even after postmortem.

I loved Undertale for helping push the boundaries of choices and story in the indie genre. Doom 2016 for reminding me of the Dooms and Quakes, their clones and having subtlety in their story-telling that makes you justify the Dæmon slayin’ yah are doin’. A Hat in Time for rekindling the indie 3D platformers where Yooka-Laylee failed, while still being a cute-as-heck-3D-platformer. PayDay 2 for its expansion of heisting, inclusion of stealth and multiple roles for a player to possibly fill and making coop-multiplayer a thing worth experiencing even if you like to play solo. And finally Sam&Max for being TellTale’s magnum opus and the foundations for their own Walking Dead game to have legs to stand upon (yes this game, Sam&Max, is basically TellTale’s own Doom to their Wolfenstein 3D, that being Bone actually).
