Turok 2 Remastered - Turok 2 is a better FPP action shooter than Turok, but the remaster kicks that up to a new level. This version removed some of the annoying random grind and pixel hunting from the previous game. Hero of the Kingdom III - A casual point and click narrative adventure with a collection and achievement system. Grim Dawn - As a spiritual sequel to TitanQuest. The reputation system, which makes an appearance in Pillars of Eternity as well, is notable feature. Great visuals too.įallout: New Vegas - As a west coast native I find the desert well done and fits how I could see post-apoc going down. The parkour is very tight as is the shooting. It is a lot like the original Doom in many ways (hidden objects, doors, secrets, level design) but modernized a little. The vibrant color palette, interesting characters, distinct combat system, and complex branching narrative are a few of its best features.ĭOOM 2016 - Doom Eternal is all the rage and I'm sure I'll love it once it actually runs on Linux. At this point in the life of the franchise the skills and meta were at the peak.ĬhronoCross - It took ChronoTrigger to new places. Guild Wars Factions - The successor to GW: Prophecy and the setting for the illustrious Cantha. This is the long "chillin in lockdown" version. Btw, how many games have totally different dialogue options for super low intelligent characters, eh? You may not be able to finish the game wish such hero, but hey, it's still fun! And since the game is so open and doesn't shove player into One And Only Right Way To Play, one can replay the whole game many times with such varied builds and options, even if playing a dumb dumb brute. And those random encounters, easter eggs and extra layer of references added a lot of flavour. Everything is so similar and yet so much improved, the world size, amount of locations and stuff in general, some quality of life improvements as well (ability to tell NPC to move was lifesaver).


Yes I know some people prefer the way more bleak and dirty world of Fallout 1, but I have spent far more time in F2. Personally I would also mention Fallout 2. And Jon Irenicus was a superb villain IMHO. Going from mediocre band of adventurers into semi-gods was quite a journey and I remember most (if not every - yes I played it a lot) quests and even dialogues, all the riddles etc.

I definitely approve of Sarafan's example of Baldur's Gate 2 - I love both games and I think the wilderness and low level exploration in BG1 are interesting and logical in their own rights, but BG2 was trully amazing experience.
