1800 hours of playtime and counting. Solo or with friends, this game is a highly customizable experience, both through game-settings and through modding. The atmosphere can be anything from pleasant to tense, as you sneak around sites trying to find useful stuff or complete a mission. Pay attention or pay the price! It is a "sandbox game", in the sense that the game doesn't set any goals for you. You can play singleplayer or set up a server to play either alongside friends or in one or more teams. The name hints at the default setting for the core "gameloop", in which you have 7 days to set up a base, to protect yourself from when a sudden horde of zombies will attack you. Survive and you get another 7 days. You are, by default, immortal as you resurrect shortly after dying, but that fact, and how much you suffer from dying, is customizable.
Get good enough to stay ahead of the threat, or simply set the threat to zero, and you will have time to focus on building something nice for yourself, using a fairly rich set of buildingblocks, furniture, and paint-options. The game also includes a primitive but useful function for powering and wiring up some things, like lights, automatic doors, and autotargeting gunturrets.
Resources can be collected by buying them from traders (no other NPC:s for now), by searching surrounding locations, or by gathering materials and building stuff yourself. The traders offers a set of tasks to complete for rewards, and also buys some of the things you might want to sell.
At the current state (v1.3) it is hinting at some kind of background story, but none actually exists in-game. Low-level modding is fairly easy as long as you are willing to read the guides on Fandom.com, and learn some markup-language-coding in XML. Mid-level modding can be done through trial and error with more poking around in the games XML-files, and learning how to code basic "regular expressions". High-level modding is possible, but beyond my scope at this point.
The description says it better than i ever could.
I have been playing the pre-alpha for years now and with every update i enjoy it more.
I see Wintercastle has played for 1800 hours.
This is comparable to the hours that i have enjoyed this must have game.
The best part is the infinite ways to play it.
My highest level Char was around level 300.
Pleas, bring this to GOG!
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival.
Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed.
The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo.
As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity.
Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.Our Pick Top Trending Science fiction Sandbox

Fatal FrameFatal Frame is the first game of the Fatal Frame series, introducing the franchise's unique premise of fighting ghosts with a special camera.
Fatal Frame was the first to introduce the innovative use of an old-style camera as the primary weapon. In addition to navigating the main characters around the mansion grounds, players are able to enter Viewfinder Mode, where the camera is raised and the view changes to that of the camera's frame. In viewfinder mode the player is able to snap photographs of ghosts, both violent and benign, which is the main method of progressing through the game. Items are also available, some being consumable and most being key items needed to unlock doors, complete tasks or solve puzzles. Puzzles are encountered frequently in the game, some being based on the same concept but becoming progressively more difficult. The varying difficulty settings of the game (Easy, Normal, Hard, Nightmare, or Fatal (Xbox only)) determine the amount of consumable items scattered throughout the mansion and how formidable the enemies are.
The main horror aspect of the game is, undoubtedly, the ghosts. The mechanics programmed for the ghosts allow them to float ethereally through the air, walls and floors, and even teleport, allowing them many ways to attack the player. The ghosts' appearances are usually inspired by their deaths or by Japanese stigmas of horror, which, some argue, are particularily chilling.
The game, depending on which console it is played on, offers two endings. Upon completion of the game, a ranking is given based on total time taken, points accumulated and other categories. The player is also given rewards and unlockables, such as alternate costumes and camera functions, depending on what difficulty was beaten, how much of the Ghost List was completed and other criteria. Beating the game also unlocks Battle Mode, where the player is faced with fighting specific ghosts, and is rewarded with points towards purchasing unlockables. An option is also given where the game can be replayed with all equipment, upgrades and unlockables carried over.Horror Survival
Assault HeroesAssault Heroes is an arcade-style scrolling dual-joystick shooter where the player drives 4x4s or speedboats, sometimes moving around on-foot.
Like most dual-joystick shooters, one stick controls the movement of the player while the right stick directs your gunfire. The objective of the game is to progress through each level, defeating enemies and huge bosses. Vehicle and player health slowly regenerate, while vehicles can be instantly repaired with a special pick-up item. Once your vehicle is destroyed, you run around on foot. You're limited to a weak machine gun, but get double points for destroyed enemies. Once you lose all your health, you lose a life. After about 10 seconds of being on foot, your vehicle respawns.Action Science fiction
