A lot of games try to open with a character death and fail because they don't really give you a reason to care about the character. The perspective swap in The Last Of Us's intro is absolutely amazing for that exact reason- it's hard not to empathize with someone when you've literally been in their shoes for a bit.

Absolutely not- you can just play TW2 which is significantly less dated than TW1, or just skip directly to TW3. Maybe watch a recap of the first two games if you do that, though.

I really gotta play Life Is Strange. I started playing it a looong time ago but didn't get very far into it at all before I put it down- I don't honestly remember why.

God, that game is so good.

SoD2 is a solid game! I wouldn't describe it as amazing, but it's pretty unique and scratches a particular itch.

Honestly, they're all at least decent. Which one is the best will vary drastically from person to person. Personally, I liked 1 the most. 2 was decent. 3 was.. playable, but with some extreme flaws. 3 is the only one I never finished.

Far from guaranteed, but a ton of Xbox games are cross platform now. Afaik a few years ago they promised that all first party titles would be cross-platform with Windows.

With that said, there's occasionally caveats to the Windows store versions of those games. The obvious example is that Windows store version of most Bethesda games is drastically inferior to the Steam version of them because the script extender that pretty much all but the simpler mods require doesn't support the Windows store version of those games.

IIrc they're called Xbox Play Anywhere titles.

If I could mindwipe one videogame and replay it, it's 100% gotta be Outer Wilds.

PS3 emulator is snappy

RPCS3 is a great emulator! They can be a pain to set up or tweak for performance but that one in particular is a very smooth experience.

Noita is so neat!

It's like if someone made a roguelike out of those sand physics flash games that were popular when I was younger.

I think nothing inside a full priced video game should cost real money.

There's plenty of examples of F2P games that have reasonable monetization in the form of mtx.
