Rely on Horror, CJ Melendez writes: "DOOM: a name synonymous with the FPS genre. A classic by every means, DOOM paved the way for shooters, horror games, and the scrutiny of the video game medium by the masses for excessive violence – and what it may do to impressionable youth. It’s been nearly 12 years since the last DOOM game released and a lot has changed; remember how DOOM 3’s campaign was a slow-paced survival horror romp eliciting dread from players? To hell with that shit, says DOOM, an unabashed power fantasy that’s faster and more charismatic than most modern FPS games. Id Software went back to pentagram-one with the new DOOM (simply titled DOOM), crafting a shooter plucked straight out of the early 90’s that’s a shining tribute to the original, for better or worse."

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.
Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.
The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
The video game industry is already so creative, but one thing that can be improved is its handling of space.
After watching Scavengers Reign? The answer is unequivocally yes. I really want something out of left field but I think people are too afraid to shake things up.
It's what I love about Shadowrun and Black Mirror. Love, Death, and Robots proved that there's an audience for stuff that doesn't fit the mold.
Weird games in general we don't get enough of, we need more games like Katamari and Mr domino, things like that
