Pancake games worth playing Thread
VR Gaming renewed my interest in standard gaming. Before I received my Rift CV1 back in 2016, I was out of gaming for many years. I had a long gaming career with titles such as:
- WarCraft II
- Myst, Riven
- Stonekeep
- Diablo, Diablo 2
- StarCraft
- The Thief series
- Dark Age of Camelot (MMORPG)
- Sacrifice
- Battlefield 1942
And a plethora of other titles that would take me forever to list.
It was shortly after I retired form playing MMORPG's that my gaming enthusiasm started to dwindle. Anytime I would load up a game, I was more interested in DOTA: League of Legends. But even with that I was very casual.
Eventually I just stopped gaming altogether for nearly a decade.
But then the Rift hits the shelves and just like that... I'm a gamer again.
After about 4 years of VR gaming (2016-2020), I started to realize that I have played through most of the compelling titles available. I have never been one to "game for the sake of gaming." I always need to find and enjoy cult classics, hidden gems, and the "best of the best."
I eventually returned to standard pancake gaming; and thanks to many suggestions from members of this community, I was able to enjoy titles that I had missed during my near 10-year gaming hiatus.
Titles such as The Metro and Xcom series'.
So with all that in mind, I figure it may be worthwhile starting a thread to see what other titles people may recommend.
I will start with the titles that I am playing right now:
- Manifold Garden (unique puzzler)
- The Pillar's of Earth (adventure story/narrative game)
- Hades (one of the best Rogue-style games I've ever played)
