Streets of Rogue is a fun and challenging top down action stealth game with some crazy procedurally generated levels. Pick from a variety of classes with strengths and special abilities, then work your way through the map completing missions. Try not to shoot the wrong person, don't get caught by the police, hide under a box, eat cheeseburgers, slay vampires, employ help, flip the switches, aqcuire a tooth, turn invisible, take out mobsters, get a mission from the barkeep, fight robots, avoid slime, on and on and on. Every run is completely unpredictable and there is always something new. This game will never get old! Also, GOG claims you can't play multiplayer in Linux, but you CAN! You can host a LAN game by going to "Online" then LAN and your friends can connect over your network with your IP address. The game even saves your progress. I can't bost enough about Streets of Rogue! There is even a demo out there to see how it runs and get used to the twin-stick controls. Check it out, then buy it!
I have grown tired of platform games. Played more than enough when I was younger. So my initial impressions of Terraria was "just another platform game" Boy was I wrong! Terraria is all about exploration, crafting, building and action You can literally spend hours and hours digging up materials and ores, meanwhile fending off creatures Then you can craft all kinds of armor, weapons, tools, furniture, clothing, decoration and much much more. If you are tire of digging and exploring, then fight a boss or slay zombies and eyeballs all night. I can't express how much fun it is finding new items, weapons, crafting and searching for new environments with new ore's. Play in "hard mode" for even more ores, creatures and items.
After playing Din's Curse with friends I could wait to see Depth of Peril. Finally an outside world full of color, looting and evil to slaughter! I love the battling factions and lush vegetation. Micro-manage your armor, weapons and magic... Explore terrain and fine treasures... Choose a faction to side with... And with GOG, Depths of Peril it totally DRM Free! A definite must play for RPG veterans!
I truly gave this game a chance. Really! I played it for several hours spanning over a few weeks and gave up. The graphics and backgrounds are amazing, but graphics aren't everything... I could put up with his whinny depressing voice for the whole game if the puzzles didn't become so abstract and random. I ended up following a walkthrough online and it got to the point where I had to use the walkthrough for EVERY puzzle! I have more patience then most adventure gamers... I have played all the Monkey Island games, Myst games, etc. Even those games have areas where you need to find a walkthrough and have some abstract puzzles that don't make sense, but Whispered World finally broke me! If you are a hard-core adventure/puzzle gamer, you will probably enjoy Whispered World (with some frustration), but everyone else should probably stay away
