Hi Lamarr!
Some Non-Steam Multiplayer Games I Play:
* Space Station 13 [spacestation13.com]
* Minecraft
* Doomseeker [doomseeker.drdteam.org] (Multiplayer Classic Doom)
* Attorney Online [aceattorneyonline.com]
* Some console games.
* And a couple other things not on this list (Feel free to ask!)

I'll also play any free multiplayer game not on this list as long as I have space for it and it looks interesting enough.

In addition, all the games on this list except Minecraft are free (Though I believe you need to own doom and preferably doom 2 to run Doomseeker) and I highly recommend you check them out.

TUNIC is one of the most awesome games I've ever played, and there's a LOT of stuff I'd like to talk about. However, I wont actually say much in this review at all, because TUNIC is a game that's best experienced without looking up anything about it beforehand. So, I'll be talking very "generally" about the game, rather than getting into specific aspects of it.

Let's get the obvious out of the way: The game, as you could probably tell just by looking at the store page, takes a lot of inspiration from The Legend Of Zelda, and has a similar format (Explore the world, enter dungeons, collect items, etc.), so if you're a fan of that series, you'll probably love TUNIC. However, there are other sources of inspiration that become apparent during gameplay. The combat is much more difficult than in most Legend Of Zelda games, and alongside the savepoint/enemy respawn mechanics, takes more inspiration from Dark Souls. The game is also filled with puzzles and secrets, with puzzle-solving becoming a bigger element the more you progress. I've not played Fez, but I've heard it's similar to it in that regard, and was one of the inspirations for TUNIC. With that being said, despite the heavy inspiration, the game is still very unique, and still has a strong Identity of its own!

The visuals in this game are gorgeous. It has a cartoony aesthetic combined with fantastic lighting. While you might think the artstyle might hinder it from showing detail or making things look all that great due to its simplicity, you'd be wrong! Aesthetic, themes, and style are all things this game does an amazing job with.

And tying into all that, besides visuals, there's also the audio aspect. From the music to the sound effects, this game is great to listen to. While the game does have intense tracks for more intense moments and bossfights in the game (and other equally-fitting music for other moments throughout), they take a slightly different approach than The Legend Of Zelda does for many of it's overworld tracks: Rather than sounding super energetic, a lot of the games tracks sound more relaxing and ethereal, giving the game a bit of a calmer vibe to it despite still being an action-packed and adventure-filled game. You may think this would come across as conflicting, but considering the amount of time you'll spend exploring after defeating the enemies in an overworld area vs. the amount of time the fight takes itself, the beautiful music ends up pairing with the amazing visuals very well. Overall, an incredible soundtrack that makes the game stand out even more than it already does!

There's often been times when writing this review where I wanted to get into more detail, or talk about how amazing certain gameplay elements are or how great the story is, but I really, REALLY think that you should just get the game and see it all for yourself! If you're still on the fence at this point, get off the fence and get this game! And stop reading stuff about it, you don't want to spoil yourself! I mean it!

Have you ever played PAYDAY 2 and thought "Man, this is fun, but... I wish the devs stopped their various scummy business practices, that I didn't need to get the latest of many DLC's to keep up with my teammates, or heck, even need to get DLC's to get non-cosmetic items at all!" Have you ever played a game with a battle pass and thought "This system would be neat and all, but I wish I didn't need to play constantly just to get everything before the season ended, and I wish there was a way to get stuff from past seasons so I didn't have to feel like I'm forced to play out of FOMO." I had both these issues before playing DRG (Deep Rock Galactic), but now I'm happy as a Dwarf that's been offered free beer!

Deep Rock Galactic is a fun co-op game where you and up to 3 other dwarves team up to complete missions on the planet Hoxxes. A certain amount of these randomly-generated missions are available at any given time, and the selection refreshes every 30 minutes with new missions.

There's a lot of things keeping these missions interesting every time you play them. There are several possible mission types, with several possible secondary objectives, and a variety of possible biomes (each with unique traits and features) the mission can take place in. The cave system in each mission is procedurally generated and given both "complexity" and "length" scales from 1-3 each. In addition, the game has a variety of random events, creatures, and rare ores that have a chance of appearing in each mission, and each mission can have up to 3 mutators on it (up to 2 that make the mission more difficult and 1 that has a beneficial effect). There are a variety of possible mutators, and those that have more difficulty-increasing mutators (or "hazards") award higher bonuses. On top of all that, there's the variety in team composition: There can be up to four dwarves in a team, each can be one of four different possible classes, each of which has several options for their gear, most of which have several different possible upgrade combinations (they can have one upgrade from each "tier"), and the primary and secondary can also have one of several different possible overclocks, which could potentially either slightly modify the guns' stats or severely alter how it's utilized in the first place! And on top of all that, each dwarf can have up to 3 passive and 2 active traits, and you can save several of these loadouts if you want to swap between them. Overall, all these possible options mean there's a lot of variety each time you play, especially when you play in public lobbies.

Speaking of public lobbies, DRG has one of the friendliest and most unique communities I've ever come across in a multiplayer game. While there still is the rare troll once in a blue moon, those are extremely few and far between. There are several aspects of the game that help contribute to this; Firstly, the game gives everyone the rewards for each mission, so there are very few (if any) ways to benefit from being selfish in this game. The hub world also helps foster a sense of cooperation, such as by having a bar where making a purchase also gives all your teammates that drink too. The game also has the incredible "Rock And Stone" button. You hit the button (the V key by default), and your dwarf shouts "Rock And Stone!", or a similar voice line. This may not sound like much, but it actually does a lot: It gives the community a rallying cry, and it can be used in basically any situation you want to celebrate or otherwise show positivity towards (such as greeting a new dwarf that joins you on a mission). This button, in addition to a laser pointer for pinging things and a "Come over here" button, are basically all the tools you need to effectively communicate with your fellow dwarves. In other words, this is one of the few co-op games where you can confidently play without a mic, as it's actually very, very rare for anyone to use one (though it is technically still an option). When players do need to communicate something else, they often choose to do it through the text chat instead (it just feels right for this game, for some reason!) Even then, the most often uses of the chat box are saying "r" or "r?" (used as shorthand for "ready" and "ready?" respectively), and "GG" after a mission has been completed. There's also a saying both in-game and in the community that people tend to play by: "Leave no Dwarf Behind". Even if a team could have a better chance of escaping by just hopping on the escape pod and leaving the player who got lost and downed half a cave system away to their demise, they'll often instead fight their way back to that player, revive them, and make a mad dash back to the pod as a team. This is true even on one particular type of mission where the drill-robot you escort throughout it has their head pop off at the end: most teams will take the time to look for where the head flew off to, pick it up, and take it with them on the escape pod, despite the only rewards for doing so being that you can see it on the mission end screen and at the HUB world until your next mission. Overall, for the most part, an awesome community that's been far kinder than those I've seen in many other co-op games.

Overall, I highly recommend this game, especially if you like any other co-op swarm-fighting games like L4D2 or Payday 2.
