I feel like most people who have been playing video games since childhood have one or more of a select few games that they go back and replay every few years.

For me I’ve been replaying Pokémon Emerald Version recently. Nothing like nostalgia and being able to better enjoy aspects of a game you didn’t understand as a kid. ☺️

    For a old game fallout new Vegas but right now darkest dungeon it’s a good way to chill out if I’m not in mood for anything big

    Spyro Trilogy, since the remaster came out I think I’ve gone back and 100% all three games twice. Spyro was the first game I got on PS1 and the nostalgia combined with better graphics is amazing

      Some of my best gaming memories are playing Spyro 3 with family when I was just a kid. The game is so easy to pickup and play, no matter how many times you’ve done it.

      The music, the levels, playable characters it hit a home run in all of them.

        My mind was blown the first my cousin brought over his N64, we had not played anything but NES / SNES. Mario 64 was the only game he had and it felt like it came out of this world.

    Pokemon Emerald is a great choice. I’ve done it a couple of times as well.

    Another of mine is Super Mario Sunshine. Loooove that game.

    Also shout-out to Dark Souls Remastered. Always nice to go back to that.

    Knights of the Old Republic II. Every time I play through it, I always run into little things that I’ve never found before, and it’s always fun tinkering with different character builds. It’s possible to make a “gun jedi” that specializes in blasters, and it actually kicks ass.

    Even though the ending was rushed, and KOTOR 1 was more polished, I’ve always found 2’s story, themes, and characters to be deeply interesting and engaging.

    Any of the Dark Souls games. I frequently revisit them. I also seem to go back to Roller Coaster Tycoon and the Team Silent Silent Hill games.

    Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2 for PS1. I still love chasing high scores in the Hangar.

    Here’s a vid of the best run I’ve recorded at ~3.1 million. Not my best run (highest ever was 4.1 million) but this is the best on I have on capture.

    I don’t replay games as much as I used to, but there’s definitely “classics” that I’ll hit up every now and then.

    • Old Bioware/Obsidian games definitely have a spot, as well as old Assassin’s Creed games.

    • The Portal series every once in a while. Those games never get old.

    • Various rogue likes when the urge strikes. Binding of Isaac and Hades are my two favs, though I just started Dead Cells and it’s pretty good.

    • Minecraft, but it’s basically a new game every time I get back to it, so not sure if that counts, hah.

    There are also tons of games from my childhood that I often consider trying out again, but am concerned will have aged poorly. Old game design was pretty rough in a lot of cases.
