It has been a while since the last one. So…

Tell us what game you are currently, or recently played, greater than 6+ months old.

If the game happens to be on sale, a link would be a plus.

  • Yeah, they definitely reached meme status, but they’re really good puzzle games. The story and lore is, interesting I guess, but it’s certainly not the focus of the game.

    If you want a puzzle game with more interesting lore, play The Talos Principle. It’s interesting if you’re into philosophy, and it’s still good if you skip the text entries.

      Thank you! It’s actually on sale on playstatiom for $5 or free with ps+ extra so I am definitely going to check that out!

      Oh that said I haven’t played half life yet and will once I have a computer. Should I also lower my expectations cuz that was also a Big Deal I haven’t gotten the opportunity to play yet!

        +1 for The Talos Principle, it’s a very good game - but be warned it is less accessible than Portal. Where Portal gives visual clues to solutions, The Talos Principle actively hides them. Especially the bonus stars can get very hard.

      • Yeah, probably. It’s a good game, but the good parts have been copied by many other games.

        I recommend playing Black Mesa instead of that original for better graphics and whatnot, and then HL2.
