Cool that they’re adding an offline mode so people can still play it if they want, but that’s ridiculous that you need to basically start a new game if you already have it, and it needs to be totally separate save?
Borderlands figured this out years ago, and so did basically everyone else.
Yeah my vote would be pretty much any live-action Halo trailer, especially from Halo 3 and ODST.
Sounds like America, but with a different accent.

Lunacid, an indie dungeon crawler game made by one person, added a pronoun selector in the character creation screen when you first start the game specifically to troll people who complain about this shit.
For context, when you create your character it’s basically just a stats screen. You don’t really get to choose how you look (because the game is entirely in first-person) except a little portrait sprite you see when you open your inventory.
People were posting stupid bullshit all over the steam forums saying shit like “this is a woke dei game, PASS” and “I don’t like getting an agenda shoved down my throat.”. There is no agenda you goddamn idiot. It’s one choice at the beginning of the game that literally doesn’t affect gameplay at all; the NPCs don’t even refer to you by name, it’s all just “you there!” and “hey, you!”
These videos always have the worst thumbnails imo.
I’ve been getting into boomer shooters and some more “retro” styled games.
Selaco and Hedon: Bloodrite are imo more immersive sim than boomer shooters, but they can still fit that description as well.
Like others keep saying, check out the System Shock remake. It’s fantastic.
But also with Black Mesa, another team is remaking Blue Shift within that game, and you can get it as a workshop addon for free. They actually just came out with the next level they’ve been working on a couple weeks ago. So far, it’s pretty damn great imo.
Or when someone makes one of their games but better
Half Sword, Exanima, and Blade Symphony might be the games you’re looking for.
There’s Half Sword, which has a demo and playtest on steam. It’s all physics-based medieval combat. Your guy moves kinda like QWOP, and your arms can be controlled individually. You swing your arms with the mouse while holding a click, as it’ll lock onto the nearest enemy when you do, and kinda like in Zomboid you want to hit them with the tip of your weapon using the most momentum possible in the swing.
Psychonauts 2 is $5. It’s an absolute masterpiece; do yourself a favor and play it.
Cities Skylines is $3.
The Tomb Raider reboot trilogy with all DLCs is only $10.
Slime Rancher is $2.
Mad Max is $2.
The Mass Effect Legendary Edition is also only $5.
There’s honestly TONS of great deals this sale, I’m a little overwhelmed.
Edit: idk how it converts to euros, but those are the ones I’d personally recommend on the cheap side.
I’ve been getting back into boomer shooters and dungeon crawlers.
I’ve been playing more Selaco, and I’m excited for the next chapter to be released. Also Burger Flipper has taken my spare time in that game while I’m playing it (it’s the idle clicker game-within-a-game).
I reinstalled Lunacid to jump back in and hopefully finish that at some point soon. I’ve been playing fun demos like Mohrta and Hark the Ghoul too.
And of course Project Zomboid.
That kinda reminds of something. Earlier this summer I had to go out of town and stay in a hotel for work. The hotel lobby had this decorative box with lights in it, but it also had these fake river stones or whatever to look like pieces of colored glass. But they all had the same shape, which was unique enough that at first glance every piece looked totally different.
I believe Cyberpunk 2077 is a fantastic experience going in blind.
IronPineapple played through the demo of that one for a video a couple months ago. It seemed like an interesting game that was a mix of singleplayer and MMO elements. At first glance it’ll look like a gooner game.
Do yourself a favor and do it. It’s honestly an actual masterpiece of gaming imo.
I’m almost positive it’s possible to play Shadow on PC somehow.
Hell yeah.
That’s the idea. You could also download cheat engine to fuck around in those games because I want to be a powerful badass destroying everything in sight.
