A NES game called Faxanadu. It's sort of like an early Metroidvania, or like Zelda II. I recommend it if you're into retro games.
Faxanadu is fantastic. The first Falcom game I ever played, even before I knew about Ys. I remember that I used to buy the Wing Boots in the shops just to see where I could get to with them.
I know this isn't technically a game, but a demo. But it's a demo of a game I plan on getting, so I figured this is better than making a whole new topic.
I just finished the FFVII Remake demo that was released recently (I still can't believe they're actually calling it Final Fantasy VII Remake; my one and only gripe). I enjoyed it. I will admit that I was at PAX, but I didn't play it there. There was an insane line for it, and they had other cool things set up, like the motorcycle and all sorts of other FFVII-related things. They didn't allow any pictures or footage of any of the screens though (probably for NDA reasons).
But the thing is, I'm kind of glad I didn't play it at PAX. The reason is because I probably wouldn't have been able to enjoy it as much as I can at home. So in a way, it was kind of for the best. I am aware that the demo has existed for quite awhile now (and that there might be slight differences in the final version; I personally know of one scene in the first area of the final version that's not in the demo), but now it's available on the Playstation Store, so anyone can get it and see how they've been doing on everything. Also this took so long to come out that we're close to the next console generation, which makes me wonder if the collective series of installments is going to cross over into the 9th console generation (where some installments might be on the PS5).
But yeah, I enjoyed it. Midgar looks really good, the remixed tracks are great, and the banter between Cloud and Barret is still really entertaining, and the story segments you do get have a few neat surprises. The visuals are really nice (such as being able to see the Materia attached to Cloud's weapon on his in-game model). So yeah, this is a really good first impression.
