I played Nine Sols recently and it had a transformative effect on my gaming experience. I’ve found myself no longer getting mad at fairly structured games and deeply enjoying the personal refinement of my skill set in pursuit of a goal. Suddenly this shift in perspective has allowed me to see difficulty in a new light and truly savor the victory that comes after significant effort. With this new perspective, I decided to try the game that had made me hesitate the most with its reputation for difficulty: Sekiro

Its been truly eye opening to realize that my nervousness has only kept me from a good time. Or maybe I just wasn’t ready for it…

Following that trend, I started Celeste for the first time even though I never play pure platformers, and it has blown my socks off. Do I suck? You bet your ass I do. But I know it’s from a lack of detailed platforming, and developing that skill has been very fun and satisfying.

Now, I’d love to hear from others. What games made you regret waiting so long to try them?

    If you want even more Morrowind by the time you feel like you’re winding down, get the Tamriel Rebuilt mod. It’s like twice as much Morrowind per Morrowind; there’s almost the entire rest of the province to explore (in the base game you only explore the giant island of Vvardenfell) including all the cities and towns scattered across the land, way more quests and even a new faction or two, new enemies and creatures, new weapons and armor… It’s basically a Morrowind Fan’s wet dream.

      I already know of it and had it installed when getting into the game in the first place. Turned out, that even the base game with the expansions is so huge, I haven’t even finished the main quest yet :-)

      But I am looking forward to setting up the latest release of TR when I am finished with the main game and start over again on the mainland!
      I read that it is designed to be best played from the ground up with a new character, my by now completely overskilled mage might be a bit to powerful ;-)
