New refugee here. Ran away from the chaos that is "new gaming".

I've set up RPCS3, PSX2 and Duckstation (sorry Xbox and other consoles folks. I'm from a country where the PlayStation was the dominant force) and I've been having so much fun. What brought me back is the realization of how crappy most new games are. The infinite chase after those "shadows", "lights", and "details" has killed gaming. All of this made the hardware requirements really high, and good hardware is really expensive. Also, there is no joy in new games (at least for me). It's just all the same.

I've been going through a catalog of old games I've missed out on in my youth, and oh boy! Games were really good back then.

Edit: I welcome all the suggestions if you would like to suggest some good older games.

Which games have you been playing, or which ones have been your favorites so far?

[–] DonutsRMeh@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Started with GOW1 and 2. Finished both and now halfway through Ascension then I'd switch to the very first uncharted, then do some soccer on PS1 and PS2 and 3. I have a whole bunch of games on the list.

GOW are classics for sure.

Check out the sly cooper games too, those were great 👍

Holy shit, thank you for the reminder. I've played one of them and totally forgot. I'm definitely getting them.

Nice, glad to help out! Consider doing some reviews, or just letting us know how you like them :)

Also, Captain Blood is another one to take a look at!
