Asked "sell me on your favorite game" to a group of friends, they said it made for a great discussion, so maybe copying it to here might make a nice discussion too.

Strider 2014. A metroidvania with some fun movement mechanics letting you stick to almost any surface, but the most satisfying thing is that no matter how fast you mash the attack button, the game keeps up with you, and the faster you slash, the more damage you can do. The gravity switching mechanics in the late game are also super fun.

I was about to instantly wishlist this until I heard Capcom went and added Enigma DRM to it eight years after the release.

Yes, yes, YES! This is a stellar game and thankfully they patched it work on modern PCs again

Love blasting through this one every Christmas break

Yeah, I've lost count of the number of times I've played it. According to Steam I've played it for 96.2 hours.

A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
