Itās a unique experience when a game makes you feel truly unimportant ā like youāre just a tiny part of a much larger environment. When a title successfully instills this feeling, it can be like witnessing a sort of magic trick. So what Iād like to do today is take you backstage and explore how different games succeed in making you part of their ecosystemsā¦

Rain World is such a special one to me, especially with how it's designed to have a full ecosystem that functions with or without the player

Kenshi is a perfect example of a game where you start off thinking it'll be a standard rpg game but you quickly realize you are not the main character. In fact if you die the game doesn't even end. You can sit there and watch the world go on around your corpse until you get bored. It's an awesome game but one that takes time to learn how to play well. Definitely worth checking out.

Far Cry 2, Rain World, The Long Dark, Kenshi, and Darkwood are some of the games that make you wondering wether you're NPC or MC due to constant threat you're facing no matter how well equipped or experienced you are in the game

As a dev, who has also supported planet of Lana during the whole development of their game itās exciting to see them in your video. They inspired me to fix the visuals of my game. Thank you for giving them more exposure

i have 300 hours on it and im still learning new things

Man, I donāt know what exactly it is about these videos, but they bring me to tears. These games are such a gorgeous, powerful, inexpressible work of art and storytelling. Itās so moving.

I think Stray fits nicely here. Youāre literally just a cat and while your actions definitely irreparably alter the world, you always remain just a cat doing cat things and trying to survive.

Now I really want to see you talk about the world of Pikmin.

One game that makes you feel like an actual ant is shadow of the colossus, not only do the creatures dwarf you, the vast open expanses of grasslands, water, or titanic structures lost to time. The grey sky, lack of human life and large gap between boss fights paints this picture of emptiness. Its one of the reasons why I love it

First time I played subnautica, I had thought that the bigger creatures had infinite HP. Playing it while thinking I had to avoid every leviathan made me feel small in a larger world. Great experience.

12:02 that's an interesting perspective.
I've played it so long and known so much of it, even outside of the game, that I had the complete opposite view.
Nothing in Minecraft happens unless you do something, with the exception of it hitting night time, there are no pledges, natural disasters, if a catastrophic event happens like the wither, you caused it. You can even avoid night time monsters by lighting up the environment.
And you can shape the world around you by yourself, doing what would take whole civilizations years on your own in less time, all in survival mode. While you're still able to be harmed and still need food, you can do so much.

I always love to hear your voice when I work out dude. Love seeing you explore new worlds and seeing new and weird creatures.

Stalker felt like a great ecosystem game. Sure, thereās the hideous mutant enemies and strange phenomena to contend, but the human factions feel like part of it too with the way everyone is fighting for the zoneās resources and stealing and scavenging from one another.

The thing I love most about Minecraft is the sense of growth in power, a lot of games end with the main character either not changing at all or slightly growing, but in Minecraft, you go from taking a day or more to build a house to being a dimension hoping travel looking to slay a dragon

There is a part in AbzĆ» that is quite simular to 07:42 and it instantly reminded me of that scene. Not one to one but the way you described it just being you and the sun it is the same in this case with the fauna in that scene. The scene where you dive down, slowly next to a whole lot of whales. They start as small is humpbacks but keep getting bigger and bigger with the score underneeth until you are looking into the eye of a blue whale. An eye as big as your character. Ho ly s h i t do i get chills every time i play that. Just these absolute units living their life and oh THE MUSIC. Just wow. One of my fav games.

Sky: Children of the Light does a great job of making you feel small in the Golden Wasteland. The walls tower over you, and the ruins of the Spiritsā civilization make you realize that you were never a part of this great thing that happened long ago, now crumbling into the sand. But the most effective part is the Krill. They are the first true danger you face in Sky, and they are a damn good one. The first one you see rips a manta out of the air with a deafening roar, and it instills in your brain that you are not welcome here. Theyāre so vast, rumbling menacingly as they hover past you, and they are honestly the most terrifying part of the game.
Other parts that make you feel small include the windy area in the Starlight Desert, the Coliseum in the Valley of Triumph, the final few floors of the Vault of Knowledge, and beyond the Point of No Return in Eden.

Iāve been playing rain world for a while now, but never got tired of it. The satisfaction of successfully killing a vulture and taking its mask, immediately destroyed by the sudden rumble of the clouds. At that moment, I couldnāt think anything else other than ārun.ā Past the fake poles, through the hordes of panicking lizards, and one final leapā¦ too late. The rain had caught up. I was forced down the pit, stunning my ability to walk. The rain only built up more and more, until it was strong enough to speed straight past my feeble slug body.
No matter how many times Iāve ragequit, this game is still etched into my heart.

I loved the idea of āFree Guyā near the end where they had that entire ecosystem like how we do. Not just basic patterns, but specific multitudes of goals that each and every organism has to survive, continue, and eventually.. ālearnā.
The world could change, and you could do your thing or exist and tons of new stuff could be concepted and connected to create brand new things that affect the whole of how the world works.. and the more in depth and complex, the better.
Like, when creatures see you walk across a bridge, they could try.. and depending what watches you, only those specific creatures could know. Then they could show their brothers and sisters, and theyāll learn too.

The Isle fits the theme perfectly here. Nothing makes you feel small and insignificant in the environment, when you spend a few hard hours fighting for life, water, food, hoping to create a new generation ... only to have a huge Deinosuchus bite you while you drink calmly from the river. Beautiful!
