Planescape: Torment. To experience that game for the first time again would be wonderful, with all the revelations, plot twists and especially seeing Ravel for the first time, as well as the satisfying ending.
Does it still stand up today as a good gaming experience? I have never played it.
For me? I would love to forget Pokemon Blue/Red/Yellow. God I miss those games, but I know where EVERY PKMN spawn is, also where all items are, all secrets, blah blah.
It's definitely still worth playing. It's one of the best stories, if not the best, in video game history, along with having a bunch of very interesting companions.
It has aged, sure, since it's from 1999, but the hand drawn backgrounds are still beautiful and the low resolution available in the game can be mitigated by downloading the widescreen mod(totally worth it, btw). The downsides, depending on what you prefer in games, is that the combat is somewhat meh and there's
a lot of reading, since only a few of the lines in the game are voiced. I didn't mind, but I know some people are turned off by it.
All in all though, I say don't cheat yourself from this magnificent gaming experience. You can get it on GoG for pretty cheap or there's a 4-box available on Amazon, as far as I know with both PS:T, BG1+2 and Icewind Dale.
