Retro-inspired video games, anyone?

[Khaki Whacky Fella]

I was looking for a thread like this and couldn't find it. (If there is one and I missed it, I apologize.)

I was curious to know if any of you like specific period-set video games, and if so, which are your favorites? They don't have to be accurately historical either - alternate realities are good as long as they follow a vintage feel.

Examples:

My favorites are the Fallout franchise (retro meets nuclear fallout and mutation), Bioshock (1, 2, even the novel... and the Burial at Sea DLC for Infinite, all of which are set in the underwater city of Rapture circa the 1940s-60s. (Infinite being set in the floating city of Columbia circa 1910s, I believe (haven't played it yet.))

Also: LA Noire - a police mystery type game set in LA with a really nice atmosphere (very laggy on my system though)

I don't know if TF2 gets an honorable mention but... well... TF2.
Off the top of my head, those are probably my favorites that I've played so far.

What are some of your favorites?

Mafia 2. Post World War Two Gangland driver/shooter. A bit like a period GTA.

Only video game ever when I have been genuinely blind sided by the ending. I did not see it coming.

For a game that's retro in a different way, try The Banner Saga (available on Steam). The setting is a fantasy version of Nordic/Viking culture, but the art style is looks just like hand-drawn Disney animation from the 40s and 50s. The game itself is reminiscent of a Viking-themed Oregon Trail.

There was a thread on there about LA Noire video game.
Do a search and it should come up.

I still play GTA Vice City on occasion.
I solved it a long time ago, but I still enjoy playing it just to kill time.
