I'll put in a bit of effort to justify my future game recommendations with either "this is an interesting take on the FPS formula; do check it out" or as "I am playing this and having a good time; might be your thing too."

And I should start to assume people can find the devs on social media etc. on their own. I won't be spamming links and Twitter handles anymore :)

Speaking of recommendations, I am currently playing Snakebird. I believe it's also on some mobile platforms, but I have the Steam version. I sincerely recommend it for puzzle game fans. It's solidly designed and really ramps up the difficulty while introducing just a few simple rules now and then. (That'd make it a "casual hard" game for lack of a better term.) 

very stronbgly disliking the cover art for rage 2, and also the soundtrack they picked for the trailer (30 seconds one)

of the first rage, I really liked the graphics and the animations (the dynamic animations that considered the environment and where the enemies were hit).

I think I disliked everything else basically. THe gameplay was basically total health and life regeneration. Story stupid as hell.

GOG is giving away Ziggurat during the next 48 hours. It should be worth at least a couple of hours of play, because of the variety in character classes, perks and weapons. (Unfortunately you have to unlock most of them. Editing XML files would be cheating, right? ;) 

revealed on E3, more in august 

Thanks for the head up. Grab a copy ot that.

Layers of Fear is free on Steam for 48 hours. Just add it to your account now and keep it forever. This game is a beautiful masterpiece of psychedelic horror.

how do you run CoD: BOII Zombies on Windows Vista SP2 pls? does not start at all, after a Windows update it CTDs from game menu 

Shadow Warrior Classic is free on GOG right now:

Shadow Warrior Classic Complete is free on gog forever. There are a few games like that, Bio Menace being another example.

For any newcomers, don't judge the game by the quality of Classic Complete. Redux has much smoother mouse look and it's completely worth it, especially when it goes on sale. 

is there already a fix for the annoying disconnecting (even while trying to play solo offline) from the game servers pls? 

stopped working altogether after I once started BO II single campaign, zombies wont start at all any longer, only some STEAMSTART file is created within root folder, reinstall didnt help, fix pls? 

 

It's Prey, but as a roguelike. Seriously one of the best DLC packs I've played in a very long time. 

Every time I see Prey mentioned, I keep thinking there's some new news about Prey 2006/Prey 2 but I should know better by now. 

my level ranking:

I like only half of the levels, the older the better (felt like Half-Life 2 or Fallout almost), the new ones look like some fairytales

I'd be too busy oogly the scenery to play the game. Shame about it being ps4 only. 

Just got done playing Risen 3, good game 8/10. Points off for combat mechanics just not being right and two terrible boss battles. But the combat does seem better than Risen 1+2, it's all about learning the enemies animation so you know when to parry/riposte. It starts off hard (especially as I went to the DLC island first and didn't take Bones the companion) but gets easier as you play because enemies don't level up with you. I prefer this style of RPG actually because when the enemies level up with you it just feels like you're getting nowhere. Why am I doing all these side quests when the enemies aren't getting any easier? But when they don't there comes a time in the game about halfway through for me when I joined a faction where the combat starts to become fun. Just a tip, don't leave anywhere with a companion, usually Bones as he heals. THe combat actually doesn't look that different to the trailer I posted above.

Anyway beautiful islands, the graphics are great. Unfortunately it's the same islands from Risen 2!!! But of course upgraded so they looked better. However I really only remembered a few areas, mostly around the towns, and even then it sort of felt like nostalgia rather than replaying an area I've already been. Probably not too different to playing a game a second time when you know all the areas.

Yeah overall a misunderstood RPG, it got a bit hammered especially on metacritic so I almost skipped it, but actually it's the best Risen game yet imo. 

That Ghost game looks cool although the colors seem a bit muted. I get that it's supposed to look macabre especially with those huge storm clouds but it would've looked awesome with the colors popping some more. Very cinematic in some scenes like overlooking the field at the start and the final fight against the backdrop of the sunset. The combat doesn't seem particularly interesting but I do like stealth a lot so it could be fun.
