Metro 2033 Redux

This is the final showdown,
Artyom moving along Melnik's ranger squad is now on the surface, trying to reach the tower to deploy the guidance laser for the missiles (basically starting the event of the beginning of the game).

But there are hordes of Lurkers out there during this heavy snowstorm , making it so the group is separated, Artyom and Melnik still manage to reach the tower relatively safe.
Looking up, that's going to be a long climb, fortunately they manage to tweak and get a lift working for half of it.

Up there things are grim, there are demons flying around and launching raids on Artyom , Melnik got badly wounded by one of those bastards and Artyom must continue alone to reach the summit.

After more difficulties and climbing , Artyom finally reach the top of the tower and deploy the guidance laser.
But he has now doubts, he's remembering all the visions he had so far, plus the very recent one he just got :
is this the right thing to do ? Are the Dark Ones really a threat for humanity or are they the way for humanity's salvation ?

Artyom will need to make a decision.
... but that's a story for another time (Metro Last Light start its story assuming you did the bad ending choice )

Still a really great game, always have fun replaying it.

Of all the space titles I've installed, I always return to Rebel Galaxy because it's the most interesting, graphically appealing, and mechanically the best of them.

Nexus: The Jupiter Incident

Finally completed the campaign.
The last mission is a complete cakewalk, surprising considering the mission before it was very challenging (i had to replay it a few times with different type of loadout and stategy for my fleet before i could get it done) and disapointing considering you just have your ship, no more fleet battle or anything interesting like that, just follow waypoints and close portals with your new special gun

While for the whole campaign the story has been interesting and engaging, the conclusion once you complete the last mission was just stupid.

Anyways, it was a good game, but sadly the replay value is very low (as most of the missions are about figuring out the best way to complete them without losing a ship) unfortunately so you probably will not play it more than once.
( i have read this mod can do skirmish vs AI : http://arparso.de/nexus/ but didn't tried )

Too bad they didn't made a 4x mode too along the campaign, as originally the game was supposed to be a 4x game (a part of the Imperium Galactica series) but was abandonned before a different developers made it into Nexus the Jupiter Incident, you can see the galaxy map from the 4X is still there with enemy/allied fleets , but they now serve no purpose.

Have returned from a fright run and two asteroid miner protection contracts, my capital ship, the Red Oktober, stops nearby the Merchant's Guild station to read a space billboard promoting Greel brand whisky.

Most, perhaps all, of the militia capital ships in Rebel Galaxy have sexy commanders like Captain Zenya Kerr here, who is briefing me on what to do to help her task force deal with a convoy of bandit ships smuggling contraband.

hmm i tried uploading but its not working for me

Possible you're having screenshots that are too big in size.
gog has some limitation in file size , make sure to compress (or resize if they're just too big) your screenshots

As an alternative you can use some website like https://imgur.com/ to upload your screenshots, then link them into your post

If you're using WIndows 10 or Windows 11, use its built-in picture viewer and click on the 3 dots at top left. Then, click on Resize Image and make a size adjustment until your image is under 500 k. That's the maximum file size GOG allows to be hosted here. Otherwise, as @Sanc suggests, find an mage host. Elsewhere, I use Fastpic.ru to host. But it's better to use Windows to compress your image so it can be hosted here by GOG. Then you know the screenshot will always be available.
rg5 - Upgraded my ship, the Red Oktober, to a new Mastadon class model featuring higher warp speed, larger cargo hold. and more weapons.
rg6 - Captain Zenya and the system militia share an interest with me in locating my mercenary aunt and a McGuffin she possesses. We intend to get to her before the cartels and bandit factions do.

Continuing my adventure on Granblue Fantasy Relink... a lot of events was visiting our Skyfarers like a hurricane.

18. Going up the path toward the first true primal beast, which is challenging as the environment is stormy and the wooden bridge constantly collapsing

19. Finally at the top with some stones on the now solid ground, so it may remain in place

20. Still have to cover ourselves and for certain prepare for a battle

21. Look up! Now it is arriving from its raging roaming

22. True primal fight

23. Its overdrive

24. Bring it on!

25. After overcoming the primal beast, another "arrival", a misterious ghost-ship

26. A group of unknown seafarers was inside and outside they was showing us their power; we have been wiped

27. The captain has been saved up for the final blow... well, even the Captains sword has become broken, not only our bones

Visually surely a extraordinary experience in many cases. The combat is not challenging yet, but this can change on endgame-content. Story seems to become raised in some way as there is some new "heat" developing.

28. Clear statement related to our "fighting power"

29. Out of despair, i mean Verzweiflung, Lyria tried to summon some help but the dragon was shackled and immature. In the end she has been kidnapped and no one knows what it means to her.

30. At least they was sparing our unworthy lives, and after some rest the adventure will continue

31. Trying to stand up with a fresh breeze of lacking energy

32. Marking the 4. chapter with a high uncertainty, yet a fresh armor with a fresh spirit

Venetica

It's been a few years i completed it, trying a new run it didn't aged as well as i hoped unfortunately.
But thanks to a mod that tone down a lot the overblown bloom ( https://www.nexusmods.com/venetica/mods/8 ) it's not making my eyes bleed anymore in some locations.

Continuing with our task to see the end of the world; first have to find Lyria but this is for certain a herculean feat of a true skyfarer. The story difficulty (difficulty of main plot, as the quest difficulty is separate) has been raised to Hard which is currently the hardest mode available, else it is not sufficiently challenging for now. Besides, for those who care, the game got a own Trophy-menu inside the game, so it can handle it even offline.

33. Boarding the Grandcypher in search of Lyria which has been repaired since the first incident. However, during our travel we was encountering a whole fleet of hostile airships... which had to be taken care of.

34. Needless to say, the Grandcypher is another time in a terrible shape while we try to shot down and capture the enemy-ships, until they may fall down the sky.

35. The final hostile airship had some powerful foe haunting us which means a real bossfight.

36. He is certainly not begging for mercy during the time of continuous attacks.

37. At the time of our ultimate chain-burst at least he was showing some acknowledgement. In the end he did not want to finish the fight and succeeded to flee the battle.

As it is now getting a bit more tough and i got my first Crewmate-Card so i had in mind to unlock a new special-character for the first time.

Not much to explain; there is as well a Trophy-tab involving Ragnarok-content as she is part of the expansion.

May she be of great use, as i am gonna need a formidable warrior.

Going further into unknown territory our airship was stranding at some very icy place which we had to enter by feet while a party member was gonna repair the ship.

42.-44. Big-eyed-bat boss, known as Nazarbonju, in a icy cave; was not that challenging despite hard-mode.

45.-50. Almost same location as Nazarbonju there is a Omen-stone in Chapter 5, the first i found but perhaps there is another one up to this point in chapter 2 which i missed. Always important not to immediately leave a "cleared area"; instead going back and look around for new things that may appear, such as an Omen-stone.

Anyway, as there was no stone for saving the game nearby, so i was very unsure if i should take this challenge. A Omen stone is the entry point of a extra hard boss able to deliver a true challenge. Have to remember, that i am in hard-mode and those battles are super-hard, way harder than the usual story-bosses. I still found some strong courage and was "taking this battle"... when i saw a Level 39 boss appearing... while our party was between Level 14 and 21 i had in mind "Okay, i was insane but now i have to handle it somehow, too late to run away". Now this was truly the hardest fight i ever had and it was the first time it was creating "survival-troubles". I was not giving up and after several "Full Burst" the boss slowly was going down. Luckily the AI on the CPU controlled characters is probably with higher intellect than most mainstream-players... so they was able to serve me well. It as well was wise to "pick up" Beatrix at this point and unlock her whole 1. mastery-tier including several weapon upgrades; she certainly had some cutting power available.

In the end... "Io"... our tiny mage, was gaining 4 level up in a row after the battle was over, so it was worth the trouble.

Now, i guess... not much to fear anymore, whatever we will meet on another dark and cold place.
