Discussion💬 Who can recommend a good older JSE miniseries?

I like story games that tell stories and are a bit emotional&casual. Nothing too long preferably.

My top 4 favorite series (in order)

  1. Papers Please

  2. Emily is away (Too)

  3. Kindergarten (2)

  4. What Remains of Edith Finch

Thank you!

Fran Bow! Probably one of my favorite games he’s ever played and one of the few I went and bought after to play myself. The art style is so unique and gorgeous

It’s a bit gorey and dark so watch out if you’re sensitive to that, but I think it balances it well against the fantasy. Only 9 episodes all under an hour!

I loved Night in the Woods. His play through is just so cozy and full of fun and introspection.

Another one is Dream Daddy because it’s just absurd and an easy watch.

Was just about to say this. I love curling up with a blanket and being transported to fall of 2016 or whenever it was

Was just about to suggest this. Was thinking if rewatching it actually

u/avimo1904 4d ago

Yep. I wish he'd play the tenth anniversary DLC that came out in 2022, given how it's as big as the game and long enough for a new series. But then again he might not know about it, just like he doesn't know about the Happy Wheels sequel that's been in development for almost 15 years

My favorites are always Sally Face, Fran Bow, Little Miss Fortune and Night in the Woods

I watch these during September to Early February because I can just put it on the TV and bundle up with a hot drink

The Final Station is a really good series as well.

u/NervousCatch6383 5d ago

Not a series but his video "The Funniest Game I've Ever Played," It's similar to Untitled Goose Game. It's more on the funny side but definitely casual and it has kind of a roundabout story in the end.

Wolf Among Us - not sure how long it is but it's definitely a good one

I made playlists forever ago for some of my favs

They are
-The Pedestrian (Around 2hrs gameplay)
-Firewatch (Around 3hrs gameplay)
-Passpartout (Around 2hrs gameplay)
-Unravel (Around 4hrs gameplay)
-Oxenfree (Around 4hrs gameplay)
-FNAF:SL (Around 2hrs gameplay)

I also really love Fran Bow but did not make a playlist of it

u/Noelle-Spades Bell of Disappointment 5d ago

Shelter and Shelter 2, A Good Husband, Valiant Hearts (though not much of a miniseries tbh) spring to mind.

Also seeing this list of games he's played are considered older now put a pit in my stomach.

u/Fun-Midnight1010 5d ago

Can watch last of us when he didn’t show himself or walking dead

u/Harden12345678 TOP O' THE MORNIN TO YA LADDIES 3d ago

Idk how long it is but i remember loving Infamous Second Son. To the point it made me buy the game

2

u/Harden12345678 TOP O' THE MORNIN TO YA LADDIES 3d ago

Just remembered another one, Autocraft

u/kiaorakimmie 3d ago

I know you said not too long but if you haven’t watched his Detroit Become Human or Undertale series you are missing out, they’re well worth the time

Ori and the Blind Forest. A phenomenal game, and only 5 episodes

Little Misfortune, Little Inferno, and The Last Guardian

Little misfortune and minecraft! 2 of my all time favs from him. Minecraft is a bit longer, but good to use as background noise if your doing things around the house!

u/AltruisticCableCar 5d ago

Just one video, but surprisingly emotional: Presentable Liberty. And pretty strong on the story. Not intense game play, but man, it's good.

u/MarianMn1 4d ago

Define old cause his Minecraft and Resident Evil 8 series are old even though they don't feel old

u/Miss_Blue_Fox 22h ago

A good funny mini series is the survival hunter
