Have you played a game that stayed in your head long after you played it?

For me, Outer Wilds would be that game. I feel like I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I beat it a couple years ago.

  • The Sims 2 & Animal Crossing: Wild World.
    Both of them definitely have a heavy nostalgia filter on top of them but I loved playing Sims 2 and creating all different kinds of stories and lives. 3 & 4 didn’t feel that same way. AC:WW was a cozy pocket to hide away in and just be happy. Chatting up some neighbors, decorating your house. I was always eager to see what would be in the shops the next day.
    For more modern games, I would say A Short Hike. Cozy and short but sweet story. It’s a great pick-me-up if you ever need one.
