Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire

Modern day great.

Don't sleep on this. The heir to the great CRPGs of the early 2000s, Deadfire is a fantastic improvement on PoE1 and is just packed with revelations. I've played this game for a vey long time on steam and bought it on gog just to support it (and because the steam client was buggy for a bit there).. I've rerolled two dozen times, completed the game twice and i'm working through a third. Tip: Don't do the ship-to-ship combat, I have never done a single ship to ship fight in this game. Secondly, don't be afraid to re-roll until you find a class that works. Amazing sound track, great gameplay, oodles of content, great expansions and tweaks... amazing gameplay modifiers that can make it insanely challenging.. worth every penny. 11/10

Red Faction 2

Awesome game, gets better as it goes.

I had a GCN back in the day, I couldn't convince mum to buy me a console until i was about 14, anyway the gamecube was great for many things but not first person shooters. This was my answer to Halo, I guess. It helped that I had played the first Red Faction on PC (demo) and loved it and the 3D freedom of its 'glass house' level. So I had fond thoughts of this game when I picked it up in the 5 euro bin in KaDeWe, Berlin. Anyway, this is fantastic, cinematic, early 2000s console experience. The geometric deformation wasn't very extensive on gamecube, but I heard it was better on PS2 and so I assume it's better here (I'll play it after writing this) The graphics get better as the game goes on, the story has mutliple twists, the guns are pretty iconic.. It's a really great time. I would mention the Bot multiplayer, from gamecube... in fact I will, I wonder if the PC version has it? I'll see. Great game. Recommended. The disses were groupthink... i miss my gamecube

Behind every boulder an odyssey

I've played this game mostly on Steam, but I wanted to give Obsidian mo money and I prefer GOG anyway so this is now pointing at my steam folder. This game is an all-timer, everyone should know this, I won't bother going on about the plotlines and the characters, factions and dialogue, environmental storytelling and reactive world.. I just want to speak about the sheer fun of playing the game. My title says there's a story, usually great -always flavourful, behind every boulder and while that is an overstatement it Really isn't that far off. The stories aren't just in terms of text and setpiece, they're stories of exploration, discovery, negoiation, combat, and reveals... often all at once. The gameplay is refined in the F3 way, more or less, the systems take some attention to fully parse, but the open world is rich and well big enough to feel epic. Just play this game and expose yourself to the alchemy until it hooks you and you keep going. 10/10

Cyberpunk 2077

My favourite game of the last 5ish years

Even when CP2077 first came out (and i made the good decision to cancel my ps4 pro pre-order and get it for PC here) and it was, honestly, a wee bit of a mess, I loved it... I played it as a Deus Ex sandbox, the biggest Deus Ex level you could imagine.. Completed the storyline, yes, but the highlight was the experience of just wandering around resolving situations. Like most I guess I relied heavily on stealth, but the game didn't punish me for it.. I particularly liked the relatively few invisible walls stopping me from jumping, balcony to balcony, up apartment buildings. Fast forward a few years and it's even better now! The refinements have really elevated this experience. It is now a really fun shooter in addition to a great stealth/hacking sim, and that's saying something as I am usually very much discinclined to engage in combat. It's just the fun, for me, of picking an early pistol (Kongou in this case, for RP purposes), and just upgrading it and upgrading as I go, and just watching it go and watching those headshot damage numbers pop up.. while the automated health and grenade recharge system keeps things challenging and reasonably micro without introducing extra hotkeys into the situation... Other things just work - a lot of the missions seem to have been tweaked, tidied up, somehow eleaborated on... particularly the opening missions - with the exception of a revamped opening tutorial mission (that makes the rinse-and-repeat stealth approach of launch more or less impossible, forcing you to engage in the combat) they're still the same, they just don't go quite the same way they used to.. It's unanimously an improvement. I haven't even got very far into this latest playthrough because, true to my usual form in this game, I'm unlikely to do any story missions until i've wrung a heck of a lot of fun out the other content. And after all that i'll have the expansion!! It's a fantastic game, now even moreso. 110/100. (word count sucks)

FRONT MISSION 1st: Remake

Not FM3, but you aughta play it anyway

I feel in love with FM3 on my PS Vita, introduced me to the series - an awesomely stylish, really engaging game with a slightly hairbrained story and an appearance from Dr Slump which was probably the best turn based mech game I've yet played... Anyway, this game's working with much older material, the clean graphics actually detract a bit from the gritty OG titles, but the story is here and you aughta play it before you play the sequels. The story exists, the gameplay exists, the graphics are the medium of visual interaction... The boosts in gameplay later in the series justifies getting this on sale and getting it under your belt.

Ground Control 2: Operation Exodus Special Edition

A link twixt GC and World in Conflict...

Ground Control was a ground breaking title with extremely good graphics and great atmosphere, not to mention an unusually scaled and paced game style for the time. It blew my mind and felt extremely futuristic - GC2 didn't quite have the same feeling, though it's an interesting mid-point between GC1 and the incredible World in Conflict. The key selling point of GC1 games was that you can zoom in far enough to see the grain of the desert, or far out enough to overview the entire map. Zooming in super far reveals highly detailed (for the time) models - particularly vehicles - and aids the aforementioned atmosphere greatly. The problem with GC2 is that it goes away from the atmosphere and roleplaying'esque feeling of guiding your units around the field and brings in a resource gathering/reinforcement gameplay model that dilutes the pace of the gameplay. Add to this some bullet sponge'y feeling enemies and in general the game just has less personality and less rewarding missions. You should buy this because it is a fascinating artifact, but if you want the best gameplay this genus of games can provide you sould play the first game, or World in Conflict.

Leonard Nimoy! And what a soundtrack!

Plenty of reviews talk about what's really great here, but I just wanna add that EACH technology (among other things) is narrated by Leonard Nimoy (Mr Spock), and it has a fantastic soundtrack. That is all, good luck in Civ IV :)

Stronghold Crusader HD

A change of pace, great at what it does.

Stronghold 1 is a wonderful, joyful game set in medieval England. It has a certain pace, a focus on resource management as well as combat, a campaign dripping in character, and a delightful art style. You get more of the same in many ways with Crusader, only the combat, campaign and economy has been rejigged to focus more on delivering quick battles with lots of combat. If you've played through 1 and want a follow-up odyssey into the crusades (a few characters from the first game are still around), grab a nice drink and sink many hours into this wonderful experience. If you haven't played 1 yet, I recommend it, it's a more focused and rich experience.

Glorious descendant of Ground Control

This game is unbeatably in its field. Built on the shoulders of the giant Ground Control series of games, the DNA in this game is well used and taken to the end-zone. Incredible visuals which, after more than 10 years, are confirmed ageless; amazing sound design; superb tactical military combat gameplay; an ambitious story; blazing gameplay; good difficulty... It's just incredible. Must-have.

Pharaoh + Cleopatra

Inferior to Caesar and Emperor

I am a real lover of Impressions City Builder games, but this is probably my least favorite of them all. I recommend anyone who wants to give these a try to try out the games I mentioned in my title - Caesar 3, or Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom. They're better for different reasons. Caesar 3 is the best of that particular gameplay iteration, it's a little less passively hostile and you have more agency in your struggles and limitations. Emperor: RotMK is the best of all of these games, in my mind, though it runs on a somewhat rebuilt engine. Ancient (and contemporary) Chinese cities were built according to rigorous logic and compartmentalization - this structure and organization is built into Emperor and it allows you to really get particular in planning your settlements. Pharaoh is just an aggressive experience, to me, and I can't recommend it over those other titles. If you loved both of those titles, however, this one brings a touch of fantasy and cartoon to the series which is refreshing.
