Still works great on Windows 11. The resolution might need some tweaking, but everything else is just as I remembered it from my childhood.
Got this on a STEEP discount for 101 euros, but even then it was a price only for true enthusiasts. It's all worth it, the content you get from DLCs easily lasts for over 1000 hours. Many characters, religions, cultures and play styles to choose from. If there was only one game you could play for a year, and you REALLY liked this style of strategy/management game, this is the one.
Exactly as it says on the title, it's a game about mixing ingredients and selling potions to people. The fun part is that each ingredient moves a little potion on a map, and you have to be clever which ingredients you mix to explore the map and find new potion recipes. The whole process also genuinely looks like you're mixing a potion, even though you're trying to navigate the map. A great way to relax, meeting quirky locals and selling weird potions to them.
I like stomping tanks with my mech as 80's music is blasting in my ears. Cool world, nice lore, big guns and lots of explosions.
Metro going back the STALKER roots. Big maps, outposts, loot, hazard zones, even some minor anomalies, but nothing too crazy. Some chapters are linear, so it's not all open world. Performance is great on W10 with an Nvidia card. No major bugs, nothing game breaking, just a crash during a fight in about 15 hours.
A great combination of top down horde shooter and base management. Something like Factorio, but with more action and less headaches. Looks a lot like old Blizzard style Starcraft 2, including the definitely-not-zerg enemies.
The glory days of 40k, now with slightly better graphics and a much better camera. All campaigns are included, with the original ruleset for each. However, multiplayer follows Soulstorm rules, with all the good and bad that comes with that.
Big mechs, big guns, big fights. Time to kill is long, so there's plenty of time to aim, take hits, and hit back. Decent complexity for mech customisation, but DLCs are mandatory for the full experience. Also, the game is mod friendly. I use performance mods and an AI mod to make the squad less terrible.
Looks like a mod for Minecraft, but plays like a classic first person dugeon crawler. The dugeon is brutal, but the options to tackle challeges are vast, e.g. many forms of magic, bows, followers, stealth, even robots and traps. No level requirements for gear, no restrictions on what you can use/equip, but items are usually cursed and dangerous to use. I higly recommend the DLCs too. Many more options for playable races and classes.
