What are your favorite single player games to go back to often?
- Minecraft
- Furi
- Mario 64
- Super Mario World
- GTA SA and Vice City
It’s kinda rare for me to go back to a single player game and replay it, but there are some games that are nostalgic in the same way place or smell can be nostalgic.
I know them so well that I can’t help but want to go back and visit and I never really get disappointment by the experience. Sure, I don’t get as immersed as the first time, but I definitely still enjoy the games.
Haha, how good? On my own, I can probably solve a Tuesday, maybe if lucky a Wednesday on my own with no cheating. The proper nouns get me all the time.
They’re cryptic crosswords, so there’s more of a puzzle to the clue. e.g. with a proper noun
1D: Confused ham set London flower? (5)
Answer: Thames. (Confused Ham set = “this is an anagram of ham set, which is Thames”; London flower = a thing that flows in London = Thames)
5A) Perhaps hawk’s attempt to catch rook (4)
Answer: bird. “Perhaps hawk” is a bird; another word for attempt is “bid”, if “bid” captures the rook - for rook in chess notation you’d write “r” - so bid capturing r is bi + r + d = bird.
[ wordplay: synonym for “attempt” containing (“to catch”) chess abbreviation for “rook” ] = [ BID containing R ] = [ definition: perhaps hawk ] = answer = bird.
