Took it back to the late 90s with Thief: The Dark Project. Sometime back in the early 2010s I got all the way up to the very last level and just... stopped. Always intended on returning to finish it or play the sequel at the very least someday. It's rare that I use video games to take my mind off things but there's been some drama going on in my life lately, which caused me to leap back in; the game has been near therapeutic, oddly.
The atmosphere, combined with the way you immerse yourself and engage with the game in order to navigate the levels for your goals are a huge part of the reason why.
Still blows my mind that we actually got an RPG in the vein of Bloodlines/Deus Ex that takes place is gigantic open modern city that looks like this (Cyberpunk 2077)
This is a total conversion mod for Skyrim, and it's really good.
Special Edition is just because this version requires you to own Skyrim SE instead of the original game, this mod runs a lot better with the SE
Finished Mirror's Edge Catalyst. It's amazing that DICE was even given an opportunity to develop this game. The visuals are pure bliss. Of course, I'm totally biased here cuz I'm into minimalist art.
Tried OpenMW. Game still runs like ass & makes you reduce view distance a ton for good fps even though it'd look quite decent otherwise even without mods...
Edit: it was the real time shadow options OpenMW adds that caused the fps drops, without them I can max the (normal, original, in-game) distance slider. I've still not messed around with mods for things like Oblivion style distant landscapes etc. so it's just pushing the fog further away than seen here.
