    My go-to game for the question: “if you could forget a game just to experience it all over again” such a perfect game

      For real. It’s an amazing game that just can’t be the same again once you know all its secrets.

      I bought it for two of my friends, and they both ended up hating it lol. I don’t blame them, but I think it’s very much to do with the mentality of how you approach the experience.

      One friend just got plain stuck and gave up. The other found it frustrating that they were doing the same thing several times over, and just wanted to rush as quickly as they could to make progress.

      Personally, I enjoyed the slow pace of discovery. I loved that feeling of being a true explorer, discoving facets of lost civilisation. Watching in melancholic awe as a world crumbled around me. Finding just a small piece of new information was always a joy, and made it feel worthwhile to get there, even if I’d done 90% of the journey before.

      Slowly getting richer in a game where the only currency is knowledge.

      I got confused more than anything - think I was missing a few key things.

      Saying that, my answer would be subnautica.
