No Man's Sky - Finally lifting off the planet into space for the first time reignited my love of space and the cosmos. Made me feel awe and wonder
The Stanley Parable - never had a game make me laugh till I had tears in my eyes before. This game really fucks with your perception of what is real and just how common / predictable some gaming tropes have become
No Man's Sky had a couple for me. The first time I summoned my freighter from a planet was pretty incredible
Seeing your fleet exit hyperspace in orbit from the surface is something else. Just absolutely stunning. Every now and then I load up the game just to summon my fleet from a planets surface.
Not sure why someone has downvoted our subjective experience of a game we enjoy. "Fuck you for enjoying things", right?
There's also that moment in No Man's Sky when you figure out what the story is implying. I'm being vague here to not spoil it for anyone. But it doesn't have a single point in time where you piece it together. There's a growing amount of evidence before the game outright tells you what's going on.
Yeah the lore is buried fairly deep. Raises some serious questions though! It's a shame so many will be put off by the bad launch. I know the game won't be for everyone but I've sunk so many hours. It's almost meditative at times.
