      i played on PC but my dad’s friends had an amiga so i played on it sometimes when i was about 5… I found PP Hammer a lot of fun and Altered Beast simply looked incredible.

          It’s on my list, and it’s a bit higher up now because of your comment…thanks for the recommendation(?).

            Yes, definitely recommended. It’s the modern iteration/spiritual successor to the great point-and-click adventure games you mentioned (among others). Had young me known Disco Elysium was in my future when I was playing Police Quest 2, I would have peed myself.

        Awesome, love all those 90s games. My wife and I are deep into Obra Dinn right now and Papers Please is one of our faves too.

          Obra Dinn is such a unique experience, a shame (though unavoidable) that there is zero replay value though. My jaw literally dropped a few times during that game.

            I don’t always think replay value is essential as long as the experience is golden. We’re only half way through Obra Dinn and it’s blowing us away.

            The voice acting is especially awesome.

      Satisfactory, Counter Strike, Fallout 4 (heavily modded), Assassin’s Creed (still love Black Flag), Portal 1÷2 and of course every game of the Witcher series. This is a small fraction of the games I played in the last years but all I can remember for now 😅
