    Funny coincidence that I've just started playing Hitman. Got into it two days ago and the thing I love the most, which was not mentioned, is that your objective is not so much finishing a mission but more like finishing the same mission over and over in all the different ways you can find to do so. Pretty original and it offers great instant replayability when you're always trying to find alternate paths for the same goal

      @@gameranxTV I came to say that some of those games DO have similar ones. Brothers is similar to Phogs, and (a bit further than that) the Marsupilami game on Sega Genesis and a bunch of indie titles that are similar. Phogs is the only other two-stick one I can remember at this time, but there were others. Katamari Damacy is what I call a clean up game, and another notable example is Donut County, but at least spiritually Assemble With Care is similar. Also I don't think Undertale should be on the list, since as you said, no indie games, and that's like an indie game poster child. I think a couple more games where there isn't anything quite like this are Snowrunner and the Sniper series, Grow Up / Grow Home (two games), Maneater, and obviously Portal... and then Mad World on the Wii...

Meaning, he gets some buffs and gets a promotion in the shadow army. So next time you see this guy (they have also a somewhat unique look/characteristic to them) it will be even harder to beat this guy. You can also convert them and make them part of your army, but its possible that they betray you and stab you in the back. Its a really unique gameplay mechanic, that nobody else has pulled off

    I remember playing a game back in 2008 called 'De Blob' which was basically 'Katamari' combined with 'Splatoon.'
    The objective of the game was to colour the entire city which started off gray. But the more you rolled, the more colour and mass you lost. You had to keep picking up colours to keep the action going and you were essentially this blob that could grow to nearly infinite proportions.
    But become too big and you'll miss narrower areas. So the game was pretty challenging in itself and a pretty fresh concept for me.

    Control is prety unique both gameplay and storytelling wise. Remedy has used live action footage in games before but it's not very common in general, especially with their surreal approach to storytelling. Gameplay wise it feels a lot like a 3D Metroidvania in terms of structure and the combination of gunplay and telekinetic powers is fairly unique.

Make sure you don't trespass. I'm so proud that on my first attempt of playing Dubai, I got Silent Assassin.

    Really happy to see the inclusion of Brothers: A Take of Two Sons. That game is such an amazing concept. I got my brother hooked on that after randomly stumbling across it years ago. That development studio is so awesome. My brother lives on the opposite coast as me, but we've played through A Way Out and It Takes Two together. It really is such a great bonding experience. Though we're about 3,000 miles away, for a couple days when Hazelight Studios releases a new game. It's almost like we are still kids playing split screen on our parents couch.
    I really appreciate what they studio is doing for the gaming industry. Couch co-op is some of the most fun you can have in gaming. It's sad that Gen Z doesn't really get to experience that as every game wants to focus on multiplayer because that's where the money is. I really hope some other studios start trying to follow in their footsteps. I just hope they don't half ass it.

      @cityhustleHD Yeah the game is about delivering packages and traveling from 1 point to another but it actually makes it fun. I've never had a game make me feel so connected to the world. Like every single step your character takes matters depending on the Incline, texture of the surface you're walking on etc. You can actually control how your character shifts his weight in order to balance and choose how you want to set up your pack and your cargo and all of that matters. The world is as close to photo realistic as I've ever seen as well. There are dangerous things and enemy encounters (that look really amazing) but mostly the game is just you travelling through serene and surreal landscapes which I think is cool. The online features sort of remind me of dark souls mechanics where you could leave messages for others, because in this game you're on a journey alone and isolated but structures that you and other players build (ladders, bridges, buildings etc.) appear in each other's game worlds so overtime the world transforms from being barren to being filled with technology built by a community of players helping each other by leaving supplies without ever directly meeting each other. Something about it just feels so mysterious and cool. There's really nothing else like it and I think it's just a little bit too ahead of its time and artistic for a lot of gamers but if you are open to the sort of experience it's trying to give you its very cool.

    the Hitman games truly are unlike any other game, honestly its basically the closest thing you have to a video game like westworld where you can throw the NPCs off their usual loops and change how events play out. its as much about social engineering as it is about stealth and assassination. I highly recommend watching the noclip documentary where they talk about level design because they thought it out to the point where 2 characters who are usually never supposed to meet can be secretly engineered to bump into each other and they bothered to create special events and dialogue just for that fringe case interaction.

    The controls are the best I've ever seen in a platformer, the graphics and animations are beautiful and smooth, the story is deep and a bit sad, but also heartwarming. It's not punishing, but a bit challenging from time to time, so you don't get bored. It's entry level is perfect - you can take it up with a gamepad even if you never used one and still feel like a pro. And don't let me start on the couch co-op. It is simply the best.

    For some reason the game Bully has you play as a delinquent school kid in a private school in a Western Country. I mean you do play as delinquent school kids in other video games like River City Girls but it's not like they're JUST at the school, with Bully you spend most of the time at the school instead of having it be a set piece of a Beat'Em Up game like how the River City games are or a JRPG like how the Shin Megami Tensei games are. Bully just feels like a school simulator where your only choice is the school delinquent with a heart of gold more or less. As for Splatoon I love it so much and when the game was first announced on the Wii U there are people who would have concepts of Squid Girl with the Inkling right beside her and they even have the Squid Girl outfit as gear in the first Splatoon game, which is the coolest thing ever.
