Skyrim or BotW, probably Skyrim.
100% i would wipe my memory of outer wilds!Of course use spoiler tags for story heavy things.
I have often found myself thinking about how much certain games put me in complete awe the first time I played them, and while all my favorite games have extreme replayability there are certain games I oh so wish I could experience for the first time again.
One of the games I really wish I could forget and play again is The Talos Principle, I have finished it twice, and considering it is a puzzle game that is impressive by itself. But THAT ending whenyou finally climb the tower, False God plays, Shepherd helps you and Samsara tries to stop you, all while Elohim holds one of the most emotional speeches a "final boss" have ever had in the ending of a game... I was so amazed the first time that I did not start any new game right after. I took a few days off just to process the game.
The entire game is really great and you get truly immersed in the universe at large.
Another contender:
Metal Gear Solid - Ground Zeroes.
Yes, I know this will raise quite a few eyebrows. But few games have made me as emotional as that one. I had just played Peace Walker before andseeing Mother Base destroyed after all that work I put into it in Peace Walker (even played coop with a friend to 100% it) was gut wrenching. I actually stood up and punched the wall out of fury. Needless to say I was just as bound for revenge against Skull Face as Snake and Kaz in V.
All the Souls-games would be great to discover for the first time as well. I don't know anything scarier in games than coming to a new place with a lot of souls/echoes and not finding a bonfire haha!
What game(s) would you want to experience for the first time again?
bioshock 1 and infinite
journey
half life 2
portal
left 4 dead 2
mass effect 2
zelda breath of the wild
mgs3
to name a few
It does if you know you would still love the game today. Of course for some people the time back then was as important as the game itself and you can't get the time back. Maybe you are no longer young, healthy, carefree or whatever, but i know i would still love those games. Why? Because i still use to play them today even if i know everything about them.Not to be a party pooper, but nostalgia doesn't work like this. There's a very good chance that if you forgot about your favorite game, and it's quite an old game, that you'd never give it a chance in the current year.
For example, my favorite game is from 2002. It's very (!) clunky to play and even getting it to run properly on a modern PC is a hassle. I'd never give it the time of day if I tried it for the first time in 2021.

None. I don't know how they influenced me subconsciously, whatever the game may be. So if I'd delete the experience of some of the best games i have played, I wouldn't be the same way I am now.Of course use spoiler tags for story heavy things.

I'll crap on Goldeneye for you. People jiz all over this game, but at the time I was playing FPS on pc with a mouse and this game played like shit. My mind can never be changed on that. So to play this now, you have knowledge of current game mechanics and then try to play this dogshit fps game with that garbage controller.What if - second time you play it, fresh start, don't know anything about game and you don't like it. What then?
Guess logon to Gaf and crap on the game. Only logical next move.
