XCom has had a few re-makes. All were pretty solid. Especially with the Long War add-on. I wish they would have taken the air-combat equipment and combat management from XCOM Apocalypse... maybe a bit of a "real time" mode for some of the more tedious missions where you're just endlessly reloading and shooting though. 100% prefer turn-based, but there are times... when you're just cycling and bored.
Fallout 1 & 2 & Tactics needs a re-make. Mutant Year Zero, was pretty good. I hate that they took Fallout into the FPS genera.
MOO has some re-makes. None of which were very good, in my opinion.
Escape Velocity has Endless Sky and a few others, always Eve Online if you're feeling like you need to go down that rabbit hole.
Civ has so many re-makes... it's gotten too complicated, they need a "simple mode" again to keep my interest, I don't have time for 40-hour long multi-player games.
WoW is back. But... the community is distilled toxicity at this point. Just... never a more fitting phrase, "You think you do, but you don't." Try interacting with anyone in that game for 30 seconds and you'll think you got lost in the depths of 4-Chan.
I fired up an emulator and played Phantasy Star and Dragon Warrior (at like 6x speed) and those were fun. I'm sure there are more advanced re-makes.
Secret of Mana is still fun.
Zelda... so many remakes, most are good. A Link to the Past for SNES still holds a place in my heart. The new FPS versions are less interesting for me.
Diablo... new version coming out. I'd love it to be... just a tad less grindy. I know that's the whole premise, but it got to the point where you were just trying to zug a map as quick as you could to get gear that you're just going to shard... and for that 1 in 1,000 chance for the upgrade you want. I'd love it if the upgrades had a bit more predictability to it. Fine to have them be random still, but you need a better way to grind up the "perfect" stats so it's less of a slot machine.
I don't know, like what else should be made? Might and Magic was pretty fun. And Darkest Dungeon was great.
Plants vs. Zombies I think is still around?
Man, there's no shortage of good games... I really miss the thrill of coming home from school to play video games. Games are all so much more now... but that thrill of staying up until 2 AM playing, trying to stay hidden so my mom wouldn't yell at me, trying to be the first kid in school to beat the game... like... the games aren't as fun as they used to be. Ha.
Especially online games. Holy hell. Just trying to play any game against teens who have unlimited free-time... and their hate-spewing potty mouths... it's not fun. I avoid most multi-player games as a result of how bad the communities are... especially towards new players.
