I have this habit of never selling or getting rid of any of my games. From NES to the PS4, I just can't let go. "What if I get the urge to play it again," I think. Or maybe I had a really great experience with the game, or it affected me in a certain way. I guess what I'm saying is, I get attached to these things.
That being said, I have not played most of my games all the way through more than once or twice. But there are a few I come back to every year, or every few years, to get a taste of that magical experience the game originally offered.
The first that comes to mind for me is the original FFVII - it's my favorite game, made me fall in love with RPGs, and I simply never get tired of experiencing it.
I come back to the original Jak and Daxter every couple years - completing everything 100% is very cathartic for me, and the game just oozes personality that keeps me entertained.
I play Journey every year - it drew me in with its sweeping score, stunning visuals, unique multiplayer, and moving story. In fact, the last time I played was late last year shortly after my favorite uncle finished his long battle with cancer. The game meant something new to me, and I gained perspectives I had missed before. I also cried like a baby, so yeah.
But those are just a few of mine. I'm curious about everyone else! What are some games you make a point of playing at least once a year? Or every few years?
What game have you re-played the most times?
Or is there a game that left a lasting impression you will always cherish, whether you play it again or not?
