You really ought to check ymfah's videos if you haven't already. He does the same kinds of absolutely retarded challenges, with much better editing and music selection, humor, and about 99.9% less yammering like a sped due to being a slav and using subtitles rather than speaking.

Godly.

M&B: Warband, Viking Conquest.
 
Story of Seasons Friends of Mineral Town. Far better game than Pioneers of Olive Town/Poot. Still on my farm sim kick. Never played the original Mineral Town games, so no idea if this remake is worse. The art for the originals look better than the remake's.

Can you guys recommend me a game to play? I want to play something like daggerfall or a dungeon crawler that I could play while also listening to youtube or something.

I already play morrowind, so don't suggest morrowind.

Back into Mega Man Battle Network, I didn't get far last I played. I'm still hoping for a remaster collection but doesn't seem to be happening.

I'm not into most dungeon crawlers, but the Persona series is pretty easy to suggest (P3 & P4 especially, older ones are grindy af).

Been feeling under the weather for the past few days so I grabbed my old GBA SP and played some games, including Monster Rancher Explorer for the first time. It's basically Tecmo's old arcade game Solomon's Key, also known as Fire and Ice in the west, but with a Monster Rancher paint job. It's a challenging game but a lot of the difficulty is in the control. It's a platform game where up on the d-pad jumps. Normally that doesn't bother me too much but when paired with the flat and stiff d-pad on the SP it makes it way harder than it needs to be. It really felt like a slog towards the final levels and I was not in the mood to play through the game again for the bonus levels and true ending.

However it was worth the playthrough just to see an early example of Tecmo's jiggle physics.

Those are nice suggestions! I could play the psp remake of p3, one of my favorite games ever.

Left 4 Dead 2.

Looking at how disastrous Back 4 Blood was, you can’t help but appreciate all the things Left 4 Dead excels at. One of those few games that is evergreen in my eyes.

Kind of a shame Valve doesn’t make games very much anymore. From what I’ve seen and heard, Alyx was really good, so it’s clear they can still put out quality work.

Dawn of Man. I picked it up during a Winter sale because it's about a period of time that is an interest of mine and I've been having fun with it the last few weeks. It's a sim and management game kind of like Age of Empires but there's no multiplayer that I've seen. You manage a settlement of prehistoric hunter gatherers looking for food and materials while going through the various landmark discoveries of human civilization (food preservation, dog and livestock domestication, pottery, agriculture, metal smelting, etc).

Fairly accurate representation in animal life that would have been around at the time, including when a species goes extinct. I went out of my way not to hunt mammoths, but it happened anyway. Sadface.

That's the version I played too. It's one of my favorite PSP games, easily in the top 5.

Brandish: The Dark Revenant is not nearly as good, but it's sort of addictive. I'm trying to wrack my brain thinking of any others I enjoyed to suggest, but not many come to mind.
 
Hotline Miami, I "bought" the game back in 2012 when it first came out and loved it. For whatever reason the original version doesn't work on my copy of windows 10 so I bought it during the winter sale. It's actually kinda difficult but it's fun. I especially love the concept of specific masks giving specific effects & powers and I also love the absolutely crazy amount of Blood & Gore. Music is good as well. I never have played Hotline Miami 2 yet but I'm too lazy to try it out.

Hotline Miami 1 is amazing.

2 I feel isn't really quite as good in terms of level design, it trades the more tightly designed rooms and corridors for more open areas which unfortunately make it so that you get shot at from offscreen a lot, so you'll end up having to constantly find cover and shifting the camera to look for threats which is almost the anti-thesis to 1's more fast paced and deliberate action.

Plus, I kinda prefer 1's approach in that you get to wear all these different masks to give off the impression that you're multiple vigilantes attacking at random when in reality, you're just one particularly violent individual.

2's story is more like Pulp Fiction in that you play as multiple characters (many of which with their own gimmicks and special abilities) and are constantly shifting to different parts in the game's timeline. It's actually really well done all things considered, but I prefer how much more personal the first game felt and how everything was smaller in scale.

2 is still worthy a playthrough at least. Just be prepared for a lot of annoying missions

Deathloop, it's fun although it gets less challenging the more you play it. I haven't finished it yet and have heard the ending sucks?

Mass Effect 2 legendary edition... coming onto this after they fixed the combat in ME1 legendary edition is actually a downgrade. The nonsensical story is more stark as a result without the combat to hold it up as much. Oh well, Citadel DLC will be where it's at.

Also Morrowind. Not having a game spoonfeed me where to go and what I need to do is a lovely change. It feels like I'm actually on an adventure!

Starting to get into the Fire Emblem franchise with Three Houses. I've been playing it a little bit since I got it on Christmas. This is my first time playing more strategy focus games, so I need some advice. Anybody got any tips on how to get through where Flayn's captured (forgot the exact name of the location)?

Monster Hunter Rise (grinding to rank 20) and Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, great game so far and head and shoulders above Pathfinder: Kingmaker.

Playing a pirated copy of God of War on PC after having beaten it on PS4 a few years ago. It's an all around excellent game that should by played by anyone that enjoys video games generally. The writing and story is compelling, the combat is dynamic and never gets stale, the visuals are stunning, the voice acting is convincing, the boss fights are epic and thrilling, exploration is rewarded, satisfying crafting and collectables. The game lives up to it's hype.
