"There is a large pool of awesome and unique games that we miss out on all the time. Remembering those games and cutting some out of this list sucks.
We live in a generation of gamers that declares there is nothing new or unique in games. So many people claim that we just get the same crap over and over, which is true in a lot of instances. But there are so many great choices out there. Some may be older games, but there are plenty of games that are very unique that are just hiding under all the high end titles. All the Triple A, blockbuster hits are burying so many good games and have been doing so for a long time now. The trend isn’t new in any way. It’s just depressing that the games that take a risk and do something new or interesting are separated and tucked away to be cult classics or sleeper hits.
Naturally, the games with a crazy marketing strategy and lots of money to go towards that strategy will fare much better than the games that don’t. I just wish some of the people who made the bold, unique titles could make more money so we could see more from their creative minds.
Anyways, let’s get on to my list. Here are my top ten most unique games that I have ever played."
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way. Why?
i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)
I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike. Let’s revisit this iconic classic in 2024 and see how well it holds up to its past reputation.
Unique means one of a kind. Nothing can be more or less unique than something else.
It's either unique or it's not.
I agree with the list. But there is one glaring omission: Flower. How many other games let you play as Wind? That's about as unique as these things come.
