What video games immediately grabbed your interest? (leminal.space)

I downloaded Returnal because I liked the vibe the trailers gave off. I tend to avoid spoilers as much as I can so I really didn't do any research into the game. I was immediately immersed. The game felt like it was something that belonged in the Alien universe; a series that I love. The world reminded me of Alien Covenant, the tutorial didn't seem to slow the game to a stand still, the controls felt solid, and killing enemies felt satisfying. I really can't recall the last time a game grabbed me as quickly as Returnal did.

Quick Note: As interested as I am in Returnal I only played through the first loop. So please don't spoil anything.

It makes me wonder what games immediately pulled you in?

I feel like Battlefield 1's first level did a similar job. For those that haven't played it you fight a wave of enemies and if you die you get transported to a different solider. It was an interesting change from the usual CoD-style hero shooter. You really felt like you were being shoved into a meat grinder.

Took only a minute or two of someone streaming Brok the Investigator at the beginning of the game for me to immediately want to try it. Love it, not just as a furry who likes games with anthro animals. The anthro characters definitely drew me in, but I enjoyment in the story and characters, too.
