    Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is my favorite game of 2024 and I'm absolutely shocked by this. The Forgotten City with Machine Games storytelling. Sometimes Dishonored, often Hitman. But really, a whole new blend of first person experience.

    if anyone knows of any games other than Majora's Mask, The Forgotten City, and the Outer Worlds that have the time loop, adventure game puzzling and weaving together peoples schedules and secrets into incremental bits of permanent progress thing going on... im gonna need em. MM is hitting like crazy

    The Forgotten City is a game about going back to Roman times, so when it came time to choose a name, I decided it was worth becoming someone I hate in return for also ruining the game.

    one of the funniest things ever in a game is in The Forgotten City which is a clown game there is a guy who is so pissed off from his rheumatism pain that he sends virulent anonymous homophobic harassment to a gay guy and if you give him willow bark to treat his rheumatism he stops being homophobic

    It's also good & fine to think some games are bad, even if others think those games are good! Games I think are bad include but are not limited to 13 Sentinels (much ado about nothing), The Forgotten City (an extremely dumb game that commits the sin of thinking it's very smart), FF7 Rebirth (egad!).

    27. The Forgotten City I've no idea how I haven't gotten around to playing this yet, it's another time loop mystery game with a fascinating ancient Rome thing going on. As far as I know, it's a remake of a very well regarded Skyrim mod. I'm certain I'll love it when I do find the time.

    Honestly as adaptations go it's amazing how well THE FORGOTTEN CITY translates what was originally a SKYRIM mod strongly founded in ELDER SCROLLS lore into a standalone game set in (a sliver of) ancient Rome

    New review/analysis video is up‼️ Originally a renown #Skyrim mod, "The Forgotten City" does a fantastic job delivering the mystery & contradictory narrative of a city oppressed by one rule thru its game design & gameplay. Glad I finally got around to playing it this year 👍🏿 🌐 youtu.be/kGpZIryLHhk

    My game #15 finished this year is The Forgotten City. A Elder scrolls-esque time loop murder mystery in fantasy Rome This game surprised me positively! I LOVE murder mysteries and the story really got me hooked. I thought the time loop would annoy me but every step forward feels rewarding.

    Low key obsessing over The Forgotten City, a game I found when looking for Myst-likes on PSN. It's definitely not Myst and you navigate the game mostly through dialogue, which is better than it sounds thanks to being rather clever.

    The Forgotten City. Absolute trash time loop game which thinks it's got lots to say and really, really doesn't. The time loop puzzles are things like "man runs into temple that immediately collapses, there's a papyrus font sign on it saying DANGER OF COLLAPSE, you have to prevent this somehow"
