Asked "sell me on your favorite game" to a group of friends, they said it made for a great discussion, so maybe copying it to here might make a nice discussion too.

Got to say, Hyper Light Drifter, if you are into Zelda-like open world endtimes sword fighting.

What I loved most about it how the style just fit the game so well. Especially the sound design. One part of the game is finding those hidden "computerchips" in the ground and you get hints on where they are by listening to them humming softly in a rhythm. Then pulling them out of the ground makes a real satisfying sound effect.

The guns also mostly have really great sounds, shooting and reloading the laser sniper rifle felt awesome, but the best one is that tiny pistol you get beating this samurai boss.

Sorry, don't recall the right names of things anymore, hopefully it is clear what I mean.

    This is on my phone and I haven’t played it in years. Might as well start up a new save file and give it a go!

    Damn, they released it for phones? I think you'll need a controller for that though, cannot imagine on screen controls would be sufficient.

    I mean, my controller’s good enough to get me this far since I made that first comment saying I should start a new save file.

    And since I’m usually traveling out and about for photography and comedy and stuff, my phone is my main gaming console. Lots of really really good stuff on it.
