As we get older, things just seem to not amaze us as much as when we were kids. However, there are still some amazing games being released today. But be honest, what was the last game that truly amazed you, had you engrossed, and intrigued?
For me, that game was Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch. The game released at a time where I really wasn't playing games that much anymore. I kind of knew what to expect, and everyting looked like more of the same. However, when I finally got my hands on it, I couldn't stop playing the darn thing. I would spend entire play sessions just doing the fetch quests, and I actually enjoyed it! The game was a breath of fresh air in the JRPG genre and it restored my faith in my favorite genre. I'm anxiously awaiting the sequel and I hope it delivers the same awe as the original.
As I said, name some games that really amazed you while you were playing. Games that made you feel like you haven't in some time. These could be from 1986 or 2016, doesn't matter.
