Gaming - the ultimate escapism. One press of a button can transform you into anything, or anyone, imaginable. Want to be a space explorer or a powerful wizard? You can. How about a military hero or a star athlete? No problem. Have you always longed for the glamorous life of a farmer, a mathematician or a bladder control specialist? Now's your chance!
... Wait, hold on. Nobody wishes for those last three, and yet, entire gaming franchises have been built on the crazy notion that such horrifying drudgeries would make fantastic entertainment.
The weirdest part, as Games Radar's Top 7 proves, is that they do.
Yagmur Sevinc from NoobFeed has compiled five games that are guaranteed to help you reminisce about the good old times.
Viva Piñata could well make a come back after Microsoft moved to renew the trademark, along with Blast Corps.
Rather see Banjo-Threeie
Hell a remake-revamp of Grabbed by the Ghoulies, great concepts, not executed the best but having everything around you as a weapon was great, with new tech they could get more creative
Microsoft has been gradually rebooting Rare IPs. I wouldn’t be surprised if MS announces another Rare IP reboot after Perfect Dark release in 2023-2024. Based on popularity you would think Banjo, Viva Piñata and Conker would be the next likely candidates for rebooting [or a new release].
Agree completely with you but Viva Pinata would be beautiful with modern graphics
This game rocked. It was so relaxing making a little garden and getting pinatas to... Dance with each other.

Some visual novels have made a huge impact in the gaming world and are still talked about today! With that in mind, I’ve decided to make a list of some of the best visual novel games out there."
Clannad is pretty good I enjoyed the anime, Nekopara is also a good visual novel I enjoyed the games and anime. I also enjoyed Re:Zero Prophecy of the Throne the anime is also great had to get a Rem fix some how after she started to turn into Sleeping Beauty in Season 2.
Best ones I've played are Island, World End Syndrome, If My Heart Had Wings, Aokana: Four Rhythms Across the Blue and Doki Doki Literature Club Plus. I own the visual novels and anime series for Steins;Gate, Clannad, Little Busters and Re:Zero. Check out my suggestions for some amazing experiences.
I don't invest a lot of time into visual novels like you do I don't have a lot of time for gaming right now been super busy at work. I just stick to my four Nekopara, Re:Zero, Clannad and World End Syndrome lol.
Some of the best to experience would be
Island
World End Syndrome
Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!
If My Heart Had Wings
Aokana: Four Rhythms Across the Blue
Clannad
13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim

Little Busters!

Sea Bed
Oshirabu: Waifus Over Husbandos
Virtual Maid Streamer Ramie
YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of this World
Not all of them did it right. The Brain Age sucks pretty hard IMO. Also, games like Viva Pinata and The Sims obviously weren't going to suck because Viva was made by Rare and The Sims was made by Will Wright of other Sim games.
