What is the one game you think ALL players should try once before they die?

Let’s not go list 20 games because you can’t make a god damn decision. ONE game. Why?

For me the one game I think every person should play at least once before they kick the bucket is Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It’s Kojimas best game. It doesn’t overstay its welcome, is highly replay able to this day, has a tight gameplay loop, great pacing, and showcases a game that withstands the test of time. Love how much depth is here in the package. A cornerstone of gamings finest offerings especially for a stealth fan.

 

[Raven77]

Banjo Kazooie - N64

It's a pure joy to play, even now.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Portal 1&2

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Planescape: Torment

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Operation: Inner Space

 

[IAmRei]

BoTW and ToTK, or the first legend of zelda

 

[RagnarokIV]

I'd agree with MGS2.

My choice would be MGS1.

 

[BennyBlanco]

 

[CherryFalls]

 

[Senua]

Gran Turismo 4

 

[Kazdane]

Outer Wilds.

Thank me later.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

It's Games you play BEFORE you die.
Not games that make you WANT to die.

 

[Arsic]

Not sure if joke post. I never played this one. What’s the word?

 

[Arsic]

BoTW and ToTK, or the first legend of zelda

“Pick one.”

Following simple instructions is too hard huh?

This is why we have yellow tape in games now.

 

[hemo memo]

Portal 1&2

This. At least Portal 1.

 

[AJUMP23]

Link to the Past.

 

[Antwix]

 

[Topher]

 

[adamsapple]

 

[March Climber]

 

[RagnarokIV]

What’s the word?

Shit.

 

[consoul]

You should play Que Pasa Neng on PS2, because then you'll actually want to die.

 

[DelireMan7]

Dark Souls

There is magic in this game I haven't find in any other game.

 

[GymWolf]

World + iceborne

Or one between dk2, yoshi island and sf2 turbo.

 

[Daneel Elijah]

Tetris. Hard to find a game more universal than that. For me one of the few games that will always work on people.

 

[Zarak]

Witcher 3

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Link’s Awakening.

 

[Holammer]

Everyone should try Stardew Valley.
The game crushed Harvest Moon & Story of Seasons (probably sold more than all of their games combined too). Don't hate it because it's popular, it's really good.

Honorable mentions: Planescape Torment, Terraria & Undertale

 

[The Cockatrice]

World + iceborne

Or one between dk2, yoshi island and sf2 turbo.

Theyll prolly die 3 times irl before finishing this game.

 

[Punished Miku]

Gollum

Playing this right before death will trigger a wave of appreciation for everything else in your life, so you can rest in peace.

The campaign is not that long if you go straight with it.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

Tried getting into MGS2 several times. Can't stand it.

 

[The Cockatrice]

The campaign is not that long if you go straight with it.

Its not but I dont think anyone is playing MHW for the weak campaign. If you wanna finish the game and its late game, that'll take around 700+ hours. Only reason I could never get into the game properly, too grindy, only played a bit on PS4.

 

[GymWolf]

Gollum

What if they play it twice tho?

Spoiler

sorry buddy, this is the first and last joke from me

 

[TintoConCasera]

DOOM (93), Quake and Zelda ALTTP.

 

[DeleteriousObnoxious]

Genshin impact so you don't leave any money for your offspring.

More serious Tomb Raider 1996 - Exploration has never been better and likely never will be. No scanning, no invisible walls, no guidance, just you versus the environment. and fully immersive controls. that gives you full control of the character without any illogical limitations.

 

[e0n]

Chrono Trigger. The game has 10+ endings, years of philosophical analysis, and is all about the passage of time.

 

[Jigsaah]

Phantom Dust.

[Paasei]

RCT2.

 

[SoloCamo]

Unreal Tournament '99 at it's peak multiplayer... but since that doesn't exist anymore I don't know if it counts. If we are talking single player... Super Mario RPG is just good old fun.

 

[intbal]

 

[NeverYouMind]

Everyone should play some Guitar Hero.

 

[rodrigolfp]

A game that the only defect is that it ends.

Super Metroid.

 

[Three]

Ocarina of time

 

[//DEVIL//]

Shadow of the colossus

 

[Deerock71]

The more I play it, the more I think it's Dave the Diver.

 

[killatopak]

Bioshock 1

Does not need any prequels or sequels. It's one and done if it's strictly about your story. Amazing gameplay, story, music and atmosphere. I don't think I have met a single person that didn't at least enjoy one aspect of Bioshock.

Personal game just for me is Skyrim. The game just never ends so I never die.

 

[Thyuda]

I will never not say Ocarina of Time.
