As their name suggests, forever (or evergreen) games are games that don’t have a finale or culmination, as in “The End”. These games have a very high replayability factor (meaning we enjoy playing them over and over again).
Forever games are also timeless. We can pick up these games anytime , be it the day they were released, or a few years later, and play them for months or years. We can even stop playing for a while, pick them up again years later, and they’d still be fun and relevant.
Rain World! It has “endings” but the fact that it’s sort of got a strange nature simulator / documentary vibe can kind of make it like a very difficult terrarium (that you’re also living in) at times. The endings are also very much not required and can be totally ignored lmao.
I love exploring and befriending critters and just the movement system is like nothing else. Creatures living their lives totally independent from me is such a cool aspect I haven’t seen done anywhere else quite on the same level. Just the emotions system of the scavs alone is so interesting to learn about! I love how it looks! I love how it taught me that failure doesn’t matter and enjoying the journey can be beautiful. I love how you are at your most powerful when you are “most weak” (losing all of your, we’ll call it “health” means death is completely consequence-free, and you can just experiment and scout freely and it’s so fun to me.) You sort of make your own stories as you go along and I think it’s neat.
Also I love bugs and insects. It’s got a lot of 'em.
