I'm currently playing a lot of Dark Souls II.
This series has a problem - it makes other games look bad. Why don't more games are this satisfying to play?

Stuff I love about Dark Souls:
The combat is sooo satisfying
It is so open - you feel like you have so many paths you can take, and so many ways to play it - From caster to melee, from using NPCs and other players on boss fights, the difficulty level is pretty much set by you and how to you want to play it.
It has a huge world to explore, but it doesn't really tell where things are. Many boss fights can be made significantly easier if you explore your surroundings to change the boss room. (this is also a great incentive to play online, so you can read other player's messages)

Gosh I really love that game, making Dark Souls III the only game I plan on buying on release...

(also waiting for a nice sale of the game to buy it on steam)

Here's a ga.

HOMM 5<3 so much,second best in the series after HOMM3 imo.

The way HoMM 3 looked always irked me a little. While far from the worst offender in this regard, the sprites never looked like they fit in with the backgrounds, they looked more pasted on (it's not nearly as bad as say Warlords Battlecry, but it still made the game look cheap. In fact, it irked me so much that I actually prefer HoMM 2 to 3 (but I think 5 is better than 2)

i get what you are saying about the sprites. it bothered me also. but after a while i didn't notice it.
i think 5 story is good so far (vanilla so far) but had more fun with the combat in 3.

and loved the sound vampire made in H2

I don't think it's a dealbreaker for me, and I did very much enjoy HoMM 3, but details like that adds up. And yeah, the vampire attack sound from HoMM 2 is forever etched into my memory as well.

I was not sure I would like this game as I'm not crazy about space and stuff like that. Got it out of a trade so for free actually. Fun or not I think the normal price of 10 bucks is a bit steep. But 5-7 would be good. Just make sure you will give it a change till you are beyond the village. I understand you already have it. Play it, it's worth it.

Currently playing DFO(Dungeon Fighter Online) waited 15 years to be able to play it since nexon region locked it. The reason I love it so much is it reminds me of all the arcade beat em ups I used to play plus its just my perfect type of game kill stuff kill stuff KILL STUFF.

Planetship

It is a weird, colorful, trippy game with the humor of old B science-fiction movies. It has a cool crafting/upgrade system that makes you explore the procedural generated universe for maybe too long, but along the way you got to experience some funny events and listen to some cool music.

The game is in early access and missing a lot of content, but the procedural generation and the jokes and events that are currently in the game kept me entertained for a while.

DS2 is my most played game on steam. It's just perfect. Haven't touched it since quite some time though.

Right now, I kinda fell in love with the Borderlands series. The gameplay, loot system and humor is pretty awesome. Also coop.

It was 'To the Moon' up until 8 hours ago. That story is one of the best I ever saw in a video game format, even though it is just a quasi-interactive movie.
But today I started playing Pillars of Eternity, which became my new favourite when the start game screen had a difficulty which stated in the description: "For Infinite Engine veterans." Seems like after about… dunno, 14 years… I found an actual game made for actual gamers, not just whiny little kids who cannot do anything mildly complex if it needs more than eight controller buttons. :D
And heck, maybe one of the achievements will be a real challenge, finally. cannot wait to tackle it. ^^

Sooo many games that I really like right now. But I've been playng Dust: An Elysian Tail for a few days. It's beautiful, I don't replay every other fight, it has wonderful music, the characters often breach the fourth wall, and the story is intriguing so far.
Mars: War Logs. I can talk about this game for hours and hours and hours. Currently in the middle of my second playthrough.
And Darksiders. These days I play the second game of the series when I need something... calming. Beautiful. Comforting.

Nice thread! May find some cool gaming gems from other people's suggestions.

Totally agree on Dark Souls with you, as far as i know, DS III will be like a baby between BloodBorne and Dark Souls which will be AWESOME, i hope it has features from both previous Dark souls.

Now i don't wanna suggest some greatly recognizable games or AAA ones, so I'll say:

  • Papers, Please

  • Of Guards and Thieves

  • TRANSISTOR

  • Chivalry: Medieval Warfare

  • Binding of Isaac

  • Awesomenauts

  • The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing I and II

  • Wasteland 2

Of Guards and Thieves is great. The only problem is the low player base(especially in the mode GoT which is the main of the game).

Pillars of Eternity. I suspect that I'm about halfway through, and it's a darn fine game. I know that this might be heresy to say but: Better than Baldur's Gate 2.

It was a bit long and fidgety, i played it after Oblivion.. but it's still a top game. The length can be grueling at times. But i loved the levitation spell, that provided so much extra exploration fun.

Yeah the combat is not its strong part, and the flying kind of dinosaur vulture enemies are so numerous that you get bored of them quick, but especially in comparison to Oblivion Morrowind had a so much greater setting, that is why so many people loved Shivering Isles, because it took a step away from Oblivion's bland generic medieval fantasy world towards a setting like Morrowind's again.
