Cease proper there! We all know what you are pondering. You are anticipating an extended record of video games that we want we had by no means performed. The stinkers that took up 20 hours we’ll by no means get again. Properly, you are incorrect!
We aren’t about to be a destructive Nancy and dunk on some dangerous video games simply because we want we might wipe them from our minds. That is about positively forgetting video games.
What can we imply by that? Good query. Have you ever ever completed a recreation so stunning, that you just want that you may recapture the expertise of taking part in it for the primary time? What about fixing a puzzle so intelligent, you realize that no future playthrough might be fairly as magical? That is what we imply. The video games that we want we might overlook in order that we might play them yet again.
After all, nothing is stopping us from replaying our favourites for the 2 hundredth time (and do not our backlogs realize it), however we’re after titles for which the primary playthrough won’t ever be matched as a result of the sense of discovery is gone, or the shock is not a shock. We already know an excessive amount of.
So, be part of us as we solid a reminiscence wipe spell, look into the Neutralyzer or have our temples pressed by a Time Lord. Let’s bear in mind the video games we want we might overlook… however in a great way.

The right reply is Outer Wilds. Whereas I do want that it performed slightly higher on Change, I do know that no quantity of replaying is ever going to seize the magic once more now that I understand how to [REDACTED] previous the [REDACTED]. Oh, and the place to go to search out the [REDACTED]. And tips on how to enter the [REDACTED] into [REDACTED]. No variety of efficiency points would have been sufficient to make these discoveries something lower than wonderful.
To be trustworthy, I might say the identical factor about Tunic. I can not think about replaying that recreation now that I learn about The Holy Cross or about that one factor within the handbook. Wipe my thoughts and throw me again into that one any day (simply do not make me battle the ultimate boss once more. Please).
Or, in fact, I might go for Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn. To not play it once more, to be clear. I simply need to overlook that one…

I’ve all the time requested myself whether or not I’d need to play one thing like Resident Evil 4 once more for the primary time. As I am certain a lot of you’re conscious, it is simply my favorite recreation of all time, however once I play it now, there’s completely zero problem concerned. It is like I am on auto-pilot for all the marketing campaign. I might love to have the ability to play it once more and never know what’s coming behind every nook, however I feel there is a real concern as as to if I might even get on with the controls in 2024. I do know many newcomers have bounced off RE4 in recent times, and I completely perceive why. To be trustworthy, possibly I am higher off simply breezing via the entire thing.
One recreation I might completely like to overlook and expertise with contemporary eyes, nevertheless, is Inside. Holy moly, that recreation was an absolute marvel on the primary playthrough. Every thing was simply so bizarre and disturbing, there’s actually nothing else fairly prefer it. Dragging a dwell pig to make use of as a platform, avoiding the terrifying underwater Siren, and… nicely, I nonetheless will not go into what occurs on the finish. For sure, it is a recreation that by no means fairly hits the identical method after that first playthrough, and as grateful as I’m to have skilled it, I might prefer to overlook simply so I can uncover it yet again.

![Undertale](https://images.nintendolife.com/fb599d374ff1c/undertale.900x.jpg)
I performed Undertale again when it was first launched on PC, so I used to be utterly unaware of how issues unfolded, and even what you wanted to do to get each ending. I simply knew you did not have to battle the whole lot. Oh, my goodness, what a experience. Terrifying, emotional, stunning, and humorous. I have never dared to replay Undertale as a result of I am frightened revisiting it’ll uninteresting the emotional impression, however I’d love to expertise the Pacifist ending contemporary yet again.
On a totally totally different stage, Batman: Arkham Asylum. Particularly, the Scarecrow sections. The entire recreation has an eerie vibe to it, however nothing matches the scares of your first Scarecrow encounter. I freaked out throughout that cutscene with the physique bag — ou know the one — and I nonetheless get nervous fascinated with it now. if I had no thought it was coming once more, I feel I might run out of the room. Man, what a unbelievable recreation. I might in all probability play it on one thing aside from Change, although…

![Portal](https://images.nintendolife.com/078a73ba11182/portal.900x.jpg)
Placing apart the temptation to wipe the Mega Drive’s Terminator 2 (not the Menacer one) from my reminiscence, there are a load of treasured favourites to which I might like to return. My first time trotting via Grunty’s Lair into the woodland space could be close to the highest of the record, but additionally would The Orange Field. Having not performed Half-Life 2 till then, that package deal was an unrivalled collection of jaw-dropping moments — increase, increase, increase, increase — that simply stored coming. Portal and the Half-Life 2s (I barely touched TF2 – a telling signal of the Field’s high quality when a recreation like that is an also-ran) heralded an thrilling new age in gaming for me, one the place the likelihood house was blown huge open. To expertise that anew could be a deal with.
Now, if time journey have been included on this imagined memory-wipe situation, I might return to expertise an all-timer in its industry-shifting heyday. Arcade classics like Pong or House Invaders that I missed, or early RPGs and textual content adventures — how unbelievable it will be to play these with out contextual, historic caveats and, ‘It’s a must to do not forget that, on the time…’!
Nonetheless, I suppose this query actually requires a recreation with a giant twist to re-experience, by which case I might have my thoughts blown as soon as extra by the KOTOR reveal (and play it on one thing extra highly effective than my iBook G4, which had critical issues rendering Dantooine with a playable body charge). Considering again, I can not consider that reveal was so efficient; it appears inconceivable that I did not see it coming, although maybe the intervening a long time of media consumption have warped my mind past restore. Today, it seems like the primary guess I might provide you with, however again within the mid-2000s, my thoughts was much less cynical. To innocence!
