    Beautiful Game Appreciation

    Everyone talks about The Witcher 3 as being a beautiful game (which it is, no doubt) but the Witcher 2 was just as good looking in many aspects. Got a couple of screenshots below I dug out of my library:

    Soundtrack Recommendations Please

    If you're into Retrowave/Outrun style tracks I can highly recommend the Hotline Miama OST (both 1 and 2). I think most, if not all, are non-verbal electronic tracks.

    You mean you didn't even shoot anyone with that NES-cartridge-looking stealth pistol that was available? 😁

    The PC Gamer XCOM 2 Campaign - Join the War Effort!

    Sounds like a great idea! Here's my character's bio: Name: Karl Surname: Fletcher Nickname: Whiskey Nationality: British Biography: Karl grew up in the slums of the city and quickly grew his personal fortunes through the art of smuggling. Taking a back-seat in the invasion to focus on his...

    JC Denton himself didn't even list Deus Ex!? ;) I guess it's more of an immersive sim than a shooter in the standard sense, but I think the shooter aspects of the Deus Ex series deserve a shout.

    Your Favourite F2P games

    I used to love TF2 but I think I burnt out on it by playing too much and I've never really got back into it since (everyone got too good for me...). I think you're right that it's the players that decide this kind of thing - if the microtransactions turn the game into a P2W model I believe most...

    What kind of sandbox game doesn't exist but should?

    Have you ever looked into Space Engineers? It's a survival based game where you set up infrastructure to generate power and fuel to eventually build yourself spaceships and fly off to explore the great unknown. Once out in space too you can put the effort into setting up asteroid mining stations...

    Heard a lot of good things about Planetside 2 but never knew it was F2P - might be something I have to check out! Thanks for the heads up on this one.

    Your Favourite F2P games

    I found cheaters to be an issue when CS:GO first went over to F2P. People were just grabbing new Steam accounts and cheating away with no worry of getting banned. It has improved a lot since they brought in the "Prime" functionality but you still get the odd few slip through the net. It would be...

    Your Favourite F2P games

    Modding is a game changer! I really think that a game that is easy to mod (TES Series, Fallout, etc) gives a game much more shelf life. When a community can create their own content for a game, sometimes as big as officially released DLC, it can draw players back to a game that they shelved a...

    Your Favourite F2P games

    I could never get into League! To be honest it's the same with all MOBA games - I enjoy watching them and can see the competitive side of it being really exciting but then as soon as I'm in playing myself I can't keep my interest in it for long. I agree that updates are the most important part...

    Your Favourite F2P games

    I have played Mindustry a little (I paid on Steam, had no idea it was free on itch!). It's a good game no doubt I just found it a little difficult to keep playing. Like you say it's like a less complicated Factorio but I think that the beauty of Factorio is just how complicated it is and how...

    Your Favourite F2P games

    With CS:GO recently topping Dota in the average player count charts on Steam, I was wondering what all of your favourite F2P games are at the minute. The notable ones for me are, of course, CS:GO, Destiny 2 since it changed to the new model last year and Warframe. What F2P games are you playing...
