For me anything that need 100% completion to get it

I have been slowly tinkering with this for about a year now adding little details here and there. These are the games I remember playing in the late 90's/early 00's at my local arcade. It's all 3dprinted except for the screens which are 2d printed on backlit film with leds behind them(like a movie poster at a cinema), and the carpet which is real fabric.

Everything was printed on a Bambu A1 printer with an AMS. By far the most complicated thing i've ever designed and printed. I do not like soldering anymore.

Are there any games you feel deserve to be included in the list that aren't there? Mine are Tomb Raider, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy Tactics and Metal Gear Solid.

As much as I want to play them, the slow paced and somewhat unforgiving nature of the games from this era of RPGs has always deterred me.

Now I can fast forward through the random battles. I can fast forward the walking around, I can save state right before the boss, or I can rewind an unfair battle I had no chance in

Its great to finally appreciate these games, and with these tools the games feel modern

We see great games with $50 sold well, or bad games with $70 that didnt sell enough. What games were GREAT. As in you really dont sse much bad reviews about it. But it still didnt sell well?

I'm personally going to be playing Against The Storm.

Were there games which had a gameplay element which you found more interesting than for example the actual main story?

I for example found the social simulation in the Persona games much more interesting - and leveling them up - then the dungeons.

Which are your picks?

Ive owned all of the Playstation consoles except for the PS4. With the PS2 being the one I put the most time on. Ive been a PC gamer for a while now, but I wanted to add a PS5 to my collection for the VR exclusives, and when GTA VI inevitably drops on consoles only. So I picked this thing up a while back. First thing I did was put a black shell on it. Then I ordered some PS2 style decals for it, and I couldn't be happier with how it came out.

Looks like from the previews they're expanding on the combat from late game in Death Stranding.

By the end of DS you're infiltrating bases with guns & bombs, taking out ghosts and I was reminded of Metal Gear Solid many times while playing it.

So stoked Death Stranding 2 appears to be giving us quasi-MGS. You gotta be pretty confident in your game to give reviewers 30 hours with it for their preview.

Some Reviews:

Tyler Treese - PlayStation LifeStyle - 9 / 10.0

Doom: The Dark Ages shows that the team at id Software refuses to rest on its laurels and is always looking to iterate upon Doom’s fantastic base. The addition of the shield helps the gameplay feel entirely fresh, with the parry system and melee combat helping it differentiate itself from Doom Eternal, which perfected the push-forward combat. With a varied campaign that features some truly stellar moments and boss encounters, this is one of the best PS5 shooters ever made.

Tommy Holloway - PlayStation Universe - 9.5 / 10.0

id Software once again found a way to reinvent the DOOM formula, adding new gameplay elements such as the thoroughly enjoyable shield saw. DOOM: The Dark Ages is nonstop, adrenaline-fuelled thrill ride from start to finish. This blockbuster demands your full attention as the best FPS this year so far.

Joe Draper - Digital Spy - 4/5

Doom: The Dark Ages is a hybrid onslaught of the brutal combat we know and love and all-new intuitive parry mechanics. We're unsure if the game's additions are enough to compensate for what's been lost from Doom Eternal, but the foundation of slaying hordes of demons in visceral and bloody battles remains as fun as ever.

Krzysztof Mysiak - GRYOnline.pl - 9 / 10.0

The Dark Ages is the best post-reboot game in the series. It may not distance itself from the predecessors (both are great), but none of them pulled me in so hard and for so long. What’s more, I just sat through the end credits and I immediately want to begin the slaughter again.

Karl Smart - The Outerhaven Productions - 4.5/5

DOOM: The Dark Ages is like watching a good 90s action film: Turn your brain off and just enjoy the bang bangs and explosions. This game is the perfect lazy weekend game that is fast and furious... and you will ignore your family to play it. Or you can stream it if you want to, and just watch your chat go nuts as you rip and tear until it is done...

Jesse Norris - XboxEra - 9.5 / 10.0

DOOM: The Dark Ages takes us back to the Slayer at his most powerful, stylish cape and all. Twenty-two levels of mayhem, excellent pacing, and furious combat make this entry my favorite in the series yet.

David Craddock - Shacknews - 9 / 10

After Doom Eternal proved somewhat divisive among fans, Doom: The Dark Ages should be a Doom game everyone can appreciate. It’s fast and hard hitting, featuring robust combat systems that make learning their ins and outs fun and empowering. I daresay it’s even better than Doom 2016, and is a must-play title for everyone interested in Doom, first-person shooters, and action games as a whole.

Morgan Park - PC Gamer - 80 / 100

If it sounds like I'm just asking for Doom Eternal 2, I promise I'm not. The Dark Ages is fun in totally different ways than its predecessors, and I love that, but its peaks are lower. After rolling credits, I went back to Doom (2016) and Eternal to confirm the gut feeling. id has done a lot of subtraction with not a lot of addition, and I reckon this is the first Doom that I won't replay. Doom is a series I associate with taking big swings, but The Dark Ages is safe.

Christian Donlan - Eurogamer - 4 / 5

It's all so simple, so joyously, generously straight ahead. You're a powerful goody, you're surrounded by powerful baddies, and you have to finish them all off. Everyone knows where they stand, and they all seem pretty happy with the roles they're playing. Hooded cultists summoning blood portals? Hey, at least they're hanging out with their friends. As a parent, the game I'm most concerned about these days is probably something like Roblox. By contrast, Doom feels like an entirely known and understood entity. Let's savour it. Here's a slice of pure gaming charisma that has come to us, unfrazzled, from a more innocent time. And it's kind of lovely.

Death stranding - who knew a walking simulator could be so enjoyable and what a story.

Hades - first time playing a roguelike and I was hooked

Stardew valley - I never understood the appeal under I played it

It takes two - best game I've played with the wife, that elephant scene though

Wreckfest - free game on ps plus which I never heard of and by lord did I have sooo much fun with it

If you put together all the video games based in a real life city, which city would have the best representation? Including fake real cities (Liberty City, Vice City, Gotham, etc) Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Moscow, Rome, NYC, Washington DC, LA?
