    Didn’t see Receiver 2 mentioned, so I’ll give it a shoutout! Really interesting game, and as far as I know the only one with such deep shooting mechanics. Unfortunately the sale had ended a couple days ago, so it’s back to its normal price, but even then I’d heavily recommend it!

    The Void by Ice-Pick Lodge, the makers of Pathologic.

    This game taught me that actions have consequences and that I should be more humble and think twice about the environment before exploiting it like I’m playing a game.

    Yes, it’s that kind of game.

    I rarely see any Ys game referenced. It’s gotten a bit bigger, but still a super underrated series.

    The Saboteur by Pandemic as well.

    Field Commander on PSP.

    The original Overlord game (with the minions).

    Perfect Dark. I didn’t have a sibling to play with, so I am eternally grateful to Rare for making computer-controlled bots in the multiplayer mode.

    GUNZ The Duel - man that was just so much fun. Online guns and swords gladiator style battles in the most neat stages. I remember an old mansion with broken staircases and balconies, a train station with freight cargo all over the place, an actual roman colosseum, a beach with a grounded ship ashore.

    Some people could do this thing called K-style or butterfly style where you slash your sword against walls or other objects which made you lift off the ground, and switch between your gun to shoot as you do so - it was a neat trick which I learned but definitely did not master.

    So much fun though.

      this game was such janky fun!

      wall climbing with the swords was so awesome and i loved that the devs didn’t patch it they just embraced it

    Squarez Deluxe.

    I’ve been on a one-man promotion spree of that game for almost 20 years

    It is now freeware, it’s available on DOSBox, and it is the best shape-packing game ever made - you cannot even debate me once you try it.

      Holy shit, memory unlocked! I think I bought that game from Office Depot for like $2 on clearance when I was buying school supplies.

      Now I’m going to have to go perform some sorcery to see if I can get it on my steam deck and baffle a couple buddies!

    Edit:Fix Link and Grammer

    Description/Opinion of the game

    a multiplayer Game uses SCP stories, and inspired by SCP:CB(SCP: Containment Breach)/SCP:CB multiplayer, you play as chaos,Mtf,scps,d-bois and scientists. in this game it takes place in SITE-02, you can set nukes, etc.
    The goal is you must survive. the group that survives (Foundation,Chaos,scp) will win. it also relies on community hosted servers.(the devs also host one)
    it takes place in a non-cannon site-02.
    its pretty fun to play ,and very good for VC, it feels designed for it.

    The Thief series. I LOVED the first one especially, Thief the Dark Project. Medieval (low magic fantasy?) stealth shooter. The more valuable you pick up directly translates to what you can buy as a load out for the next level so you’re encouraged to explore, though even the low level enemies can kick you ass so you have to be sneaky. Actually great stealth mechanics even for an old game. The world building is amazing, with it’s own lore, culture and slang. The plot of the games are also great.

    The Kingdom of Loathing is a game I’ve played almost non-stop since about 2003. Web based and free, it’s based off of old text based games. But it’s fun. Really fun. And hilarious. The currency is meat. The classes are goofy. Saucerer? Disco bandit? Seal Clubber? A lot of games deal with things like power creep or inflation, or how the heck to get people to actually help pay for it. This game solves problems like these elegantly. The user base is fun and friendly and corporative, there’s always new stuff coming out to try, they do a holiday special every year, and all the pictures are crudely drawn stick figures.
