Plays like Desert/Jungle/Urban Strike with a bit of Syndicate-like immersive destruction/customization. Don't think of it as a twin-stick shooter or it will disappoint with its clunky controls.

Campaign mode is more like a lengthy tutorial with some flavor text but the level design is solid.
You spend the money from the campaign to customize/unlock stuff to use in the endless roguelike mode.

Nothing too deep but a lot of fun.

It's sorta like The Division meets Rust meets Palworld? Really good F2P action survival crafter. No P2W (they do try to push cosmetics on you but whatever) and not nearly as grindy as it could be. Kinda surprising for a NetEase game.

It's a pretty big timesink, one of those games where you'll fire it up at 8pm and the next time you look at the clock it's 4am.

There's a bit of a learning curve and quite a bit of jank to work around but the gameplay is very solid and it's constantly getting patched and hotfixed, progress has been slow but steady in improving and expanding the game. The endgame still needs work though as it can get a bit stale after finishing each scenario's main quests and 'Pro' challenges.

Lots of people complain about the server resets but they're really not a problem, there's meta-progression in the form of stuff like blueprints and you can carry things over from previous seasons (albeit limited) to give yourself a big head start in subsequent seasons.

Looking forward to seeing how far they'll take this one, there's still 1/3rd of the map that isn't accessible yet so should be quite a bit to come.

Good stuff.

So I've done my share of "challenge runs" of the main game, am an accomplished Souls veteran, beat 'em all at level 1 etc, so I was pretty confident that if I didn't wanna steamroll the DLC with my 100% completion save file (at RL150 because that's the PvP meta) I should totally go into it in NG+3. "No problem!" I thought. "I'm no scrub, I don't need to git gud anymore" I thought.

Then I moseyed on over to the first boss (for me this was the Blackgaol Knight) with my FTH/ARC build and immediately got destroyed 67 times in a row.

10/10 would get humbled again.

Aged about as well as Rise of the Triad. Which is to say -- not very.

Worth playing to brush up on the classics though, it brought a few new ideas to the table that evolved the genre a bit.

And hey, it's free.

it's..........






it's insanely good. /blushes

...b-baka...

What is there to even say? It's RtCW, the greatest multiplayer game of all time, and a pretty decent SP game in its' own right.
I'm extremely biased, of course, but nothing has ever really come close from an overall "experience" point of view **IF you were there at the time**. This game was my Woodstock. The thing that made me "miss the good old days" now that I'm a middle-aged boomer. I even got a tattoo of the logo on my back. Big shoutout to my guys and gals at UDPviper -- the PREMIERE OLTL server of the time and the best damn forum ever. Miss you homies.

Recommended? Is this even a question?

Overrated.

DOOM 2016 but with the annoying resource management cranked to 11 and loads of truly awful platforming sections.

Oh, and Denuvo.


Runs great though, digging the new raytracing update. idTech never disappoints.

(low playtime is because I finished it before it came to Steam)

--(update)--

Ok, so no Denuvo anymore, guess that's how long it's been. Should probably stop listing it on the store page as having it then. Not like the Beth account requirement is any better tbh.

transverse the map and not resort to making all levels feel like a single note, which give life in its multi layered dynamic.

I nearly had a stroke trying to read that just now.
