Current Events > Video games that go meta

(+) Yeah! (+)

It seems like there's been more and more of these games as time goes on. Which ones have been your favorite?

There's no way to list games that don't spoil that it goes meta but I suppose if you want to talk about how it goes meta then spoiler tag that.

These are the ones I know of;
- Eternal Darkness
- Batman: Arkham Asylum
- Undertale
- Stanley Parable
- Doki Doki Literature Club
- Pony Island
- Nier Automata
- Danganronpa series
- IMSCARED
- Analogue: A Hate Story

I know I'm overlooking a lot.

Batman Arkham Asylum was the first one that caught me off guard. I wasn't expecting that moment at all. Undertale resonated with me the most and stuck with me for a while.

Easter eggs can be included too. GTA3's "You're not supposed to be here" is a good example.

Does the whole psycho mantis thing count as meta? or do you mean overall meta themes for video games?

Yes of course! I can't believe I forgot about MGS 1 and 2.

I mean both.

Don't forget 4 too.

You forgot Earthbound

Snake, it's been a long time since you saved your game. If your body can't survive the torture, it'll be game over. You really wanna travel down that long road again?
