Did I say something stupid enough that you needed to check my profile?

Good, that was on purpose.

  • Maybe, but what I miss from shareware is that I would get a game (e.g. Quake, Duke Nukem) from someone and be able to play without restrictions the first chapter.

    In fact, most shareware games had also multiplayer available so those were very common in school’s computer “labs”.

    Freemium apps, in my experience, have too many ads and fiendish tactics to my taste (Though I know it’s not all of them).










  • I do have a recommendation for a cozy FPS: The Signal from Tolva.

    Basically you’re a robot in an old robot battlefield planet and you’ve got to shoot other robots, sometimes team up with other robots and go around getting upgrades.

    The coziness comes from the environment, which has some strong outworldliness vibe and it feels slightly lonely but in a “journey” way. Plus the guns feel good and it’s probably really cheap right now.

    The cons is that the game doesn’t feel finished, after a while it gets repetitive and then it just ends.

    If I had to describe it, I would say it’s an FPS+walking simulator.

    “Generation Zero” would be my second recommendation, which is a mixture of Red Dawn, Swedish 80s and big robots.

    Note: I haven’t played them except for the 2nd entry, but the Far Cry series feels like it is a mixture between FPS and holiday island.
