For me it's Chrono Trigger.
I see what you did there.
I think Toy Story 2 for PSX holds pretty well as a platformer, graphics wise ofc not, I hope I'm not being blinded by the nostalgia.
Skyrim
I still haven't had time to pick that up...
I need to do that!
The original Star Craft and Brood War. I grew up playing those games so they have a special place in my memories.
Good for you. Personally, I feel they aged horribly, the controls, by today's standard, are barely usable. If a new game came out with such controls, I'd probably flat out refuse to play it.
I take timeless to mean that it is still just as good today as the day it was released and that the game's quality isn't related to the time period in which it was released or the hardware it was released on. Dates and hardware are included in case you want to go play them. (You should if you haven't)
I'm sure there are more, but I'll stop here.
I absolutely love Morrowind, but I'm torn whether to call it timeless. It's got a clunky interface, but that interface is also so much a part of the feeling that grips you when you play it.
A lot of people have mentioned Legend of Zelda games but I want to say that Wind Waker has held up so much over the years. One of my favourites
Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Totally still works as a modern Zelda game. Especially since Nintendo hasn't really changed the core mechanics since it's release!
FF9 and FF Tactics for me
WoW classic/vanilla. Final fantasy 7 PS1, final fantasy tactics PS1. Divinity original sin 2. Chrono trigger and cross. Elder scrolls daggerfall, morrowind, oblivion and Skyrim. Super Mario 64. Snes Mario kart. Zelda link to the past. Sonic the hedgehog 1. Contra. Super smash brothers on gamecube. Mario party 1 2 and 3. Super Mario rpg legend of the seven stars.
Heroes of Might and Magic III.
There's a game called Heroes Hour on steam that is like the pixel version of an expanded HoMM3, the over world and town building and unit recruiting is all almost the same, but the fights are real-time auto-battler that you can pause to cast spells or give directions to units. Really scratches the itch left by HoMM3
Oh I'm gonna check this out. I actually liked some of the newer homm games too but it was frustrating to play them because of all the bugs. The core gameplay of all of them is just so much fun for me though
My husband is currently trying Chrono Trigger for the first time, the music is catchy and the game is too, even though he's currently stuck right now. We're big video game fans sharing our passion with our little. We've been Mario Kart 8ing together, so fun!
The BioShock series is a timeless masterpiece
I partially agree, but they've degraded to me personally over time. This isnt because they're bad, but because I've played Prey (2017), System Shock (the remake is great) and other Immersive sim/shock games and see what it could have been. The issue is making it simple and streamlined allowed it to sell like crazy. System Shock and Deus Ex will likely outlive Bioshock, despite being older. Bioshock will still be remembered for the story it told, but the actual gameplay will be forgotten.
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
