We've all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory. I'll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1

I got echo the dolphin for Sega genesis when I was about 8. I don't know how much of the game I got through, but thinking back it couldn't have been more than a few percent. And I played that shit for hours trying to figure out where to go next.

I really need to try it again with a guide, I want to see the wild shit after that first damn level.

I still have the fond memory of the Ecco the Dolphin being called like game of the year by many magazines. So I begged my uncle to rented it from Blockbuster. First few days, I struggled. Then I asked to extend the rental. After a week, I gave up. Game was bs. I played Nintendo hard games.

A decade ago, I decided to read about Ecco and yeah, fuck that game.

I found the way to progress once, you have to like flip up out of the water and across to some other part of the level. I couldn't ever remember how I did it afterwards though.

Yeah you have to free Willy yourself but before that you have to … do some sort of katamari thing(?)

Holyshit I forgot this game existed! I had the exact same experience, no idea what I was doing but for some reason I kept playing
