Agreed. Mind boggling experience that I've never been able to replicate after the first genuine play-through. Granted I was young and Fable more or less had a great impact on me as well.
Games feel...not as great as before. Ghost of Tsushima was excellent but it's been a while since a game has truly made me go, "Whoa!"
Souls series is probably exemplary of an "okay, I'm a kid again" game for me. It's just so left field in many ways yet familiar. Souls makes me nostalgic about my gaming past that is not even historically accurate, they are so weird.
