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.

There is a game I've never played but i deeply want to: fragile dreams farewell ruins of the moon. A boy at the end of the world looking for some kind of companionship. Between the bouts of action it seems like a profoundly lonely experience that i want to try on any system that isn't the wii. Maybe it'll work with emulation.

Rain world sucked me deeply in, a little critter trying to survive a deeply hostile world while exploring ::: spoiler spoiler Buddhism. ::: can't say too much about this one without spoiling it.

Seasons a letter to tomorrow was a great experience that i completed in a single sitting. Okay it's a small-ish game so that isn't the high praise it could be, but it still made me want to not give it up until it gave me up. You create your own scrap book while exploring a world that suffered pretty heavily from something. You can collect the memories of people long gone, take in scenery that'll soon disappear forever, and visit the last few hold outs of a doomed town.
