Games with characters you miss most after completion. - eviltoast

It’s a bitter sweet feeling afterward, but I love it when a game has characters where, after the game is over, I miss seeing a part of their lives. Be it due to the characters themselves or the interaction they have with one another, exiting their world feels more like a loss than when normally putting a story away.

Are there any games where you experienced similar? While it can be a bitter sweet feeling, I know that it is a sign that I really enjoyed what I was playing and love to find these experiences.

    Undertale for sure. (I’m a long time gamer, and I consider this in my top 5 games now)

    It has such a slow start, and meh graphics going into it. It took me 3 separate years trying to get into it, but once I got past the first 2 hours, man did the humour, characters and music blow me away.

    If you’re worried you won’t get into it:

    • The graphics start out rough to make the better graphics later on really stand out
    • The slow start is actually them setting things up a whole bunch of things that pay off later, stick with it. (Also since the game is only 7 hours and there are multiple endings, you will replay it to get the other endings and notice just how much content is hidden at the start that you didn’t understand the first time playing it).

    I’m so glad I came back and stuck with it.

    I was just trying to clear something out of my library and ended up with the most powerful gaming attachment I’ve had in over a decade.
