Two initially jump to mind for me.

Outer Wilds took me three attempts to get into, but when it did...wow. Its a game that I is definitely more than the sum of it's parts, and one that I'd argue is genuinely beautiful in it's story and how it tells that story.

That said, once you've worked out the games mystery; it's story, it's tricks, timing and logistics, I wonder how more pull the game would have.

Return of the Obra Dinn is a game that I spend a lot of my time thinking about. The music, the atmosphere and of course, the games moment to moment gameplay.

Those puzzles will likely (hopefully) melt from my mind at some point, but even then I fear that initial sense of excitement and intrigue will be lost.

As much as I plan on going back to it at some point, I'm not sure a game of it's nature is all that well suited to additional playthroughs unfortunately.

I've never been particularly religious so I missed that part the first time through. I loaned it to a friend of mine at school and he pointed it out to me lol!

My family has just gotten the Internet maybe a year or two before I got the game so I did have the advantage of being able to use a walkthrough someone had posted, but I tried to do as much on my own as I could!

I still listen to that soundtrack once or twice a year lol! The guys name is Terry S. Taylor and I checked out a few of his other albums later on but the OST from Neverhood is still my favorite thing he's done!

Yeah, there really is nothing like the Neverhood OST either.

I'm glad I got the whole experience in my life before I really knew anything about Western religion or the creator. I just got to enjoy the game as a child would. With some help from smarter people around me. XD
