Outer Worlds was their big swing, a chance to take all the zany humor that their team had interacted with in some of their previous work including Fallout, and they knocked it out of the park. They’d been through some tough times, with a number of their projects canceled, and only a crowd-funding campaign saved them from closure.
They also did some solid work on two other favorites of mine: Neverwinter Nights 2 and Fallout: New Vegas. I first encountered Obsidian through their work on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (which also features on this list, albeit in a special form). It would be ridiculous to consider skipping past the game that won the 2020 Nebula Awards for Game Writing, especially when that game heralds from the powerhouse developer Obsidian Entertainment, so the very first title on our list has to be the darling of 2020: Outer Worlds. There may even be a few titles on here that you haven’t heard of before, in which case, you’re welcome.ĭeveloper: Obsidian Entertainment Platform(s): PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Windows, Nintendo Switch Sure, I have a few point-and-click titles on here (and a few of those games somewhat unfairly dubbed “walking simulators”), but I also have actioned-packed shooters, top-down platformers, and a few old-time classics that will make your nostalgia flare something fierce. There is something for everyone on this list! The first thing you’ve got to realize is that a good story and good characters can show up in all flavors of game. In the past, this has often meant that I needed to turn the difficulty down to “easy” for those big boss battles that everyone else loved so much, but luckily there are a few gems out there that offer some different approaches (or at least don’t penalize the player for using the easy setting). This isn’t to say that I haven’t logged a few hours in Call of Duty: World at War (a noticeably aesthetic-centered release in the franchise), or dug myself quite literally into hell in Terraria, but in terms of what I find myself really excited to show up for, it’s games were the story is front and center.
I hate boss battles, I detest grinding, and for me, it’s the “RP” in RPG that matters most I like games that backburner the difficulty of shooting up the next big bad in favor of games where the storyline, the characters, and the aesthetic blend together to create a profound immersive experience.
