Phenomenal Games That I Will Never Forget


Games that I thoroughly enjoyed the entire time I played them and that affected me deeply whether that be in my philosophy, self-reflection, or just my understanding of game design.

  • Outer Wilds
  • OneShot
  • Firewatch
  • Night in the Woods
  • Undertale
  • Hollow Knight

I need to play more games and get some more obscure titles on this list.

Good Chunky Video Essays


Good, long video essays that I enjoyed watching and left me feeling like I had learned something, even if it was just history.

In general I'm a fan of the channels Big Joel, Folding Ideas, hbomberguy, Jacob Geller, jan Misali, Razbuten, exurb1a, Leadhead, Some More News, Super Eyepatch Wolf, suckerpinch, and Fredrik Knudsen. Plenty of their work probably belongs here, but I couldn't be bothered to watch through it all again to see what fit the particular demands of this list.
