Other games that might be of interest

50 Years – 0,39 € – A fast-paced strategy game that lasts for a couple of minutes in which you must survive for 50 years. It plays a lot like an auto-chess game does. You build units and they battle it out on the field. There are unique nations with unique perks, different paths and abilities and a lot of replayability.

Bit Blaster XL – 0,39 € – An 80’s trowback to a simpler time when games mostly consist of a spaceship blowing up aliens in an arena. Coffees are more expensive.

Receiver – 0,79 € – TL: DR- A Game about handling various aspects of a firearm.

Downwell – 0,98 € – Watch the trailer.

Jet Set Radio – 1,19 € – JET SET RADIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Crazy Taxi – 1,19 € – Hey! Hey! Hey! It’s craaaaaaaaaazy taxi!

Brothers in Arms: Road to Hill 30 – 1,99 € – Before Company of Heroes popularized the 4F’s, Brothers in Arms brought to life this idea in first person in early 2005. Straight out of HBO’s fantastic Band of Brothers mini series, Brothers in Arms tries its best to capture the experiences of those who fought in the early days of the Invasion of France. One of the best World War 2 shooters of all time. I’ve replayed the entire series two months ago, still fantastic, especially if you run it in 4K.

Brothers in Arms: Earned in Blood – 1,99 € – More of the same, fantastic goodness of the first game but with a new campaign, new weapons and equipment.

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition – 1,99 € – Here’s another living medal carrier for gaming awards. Sleeping Dogs is the embodiment of every Jackie Chan 80’s and 90’s movie all crammed up into the delicious medium of videogames. A GTA-like free roam, an incredibly detailed Hong Kong, a cop drama story and a preference for kung-fu instead of pistol-fu make Sleeping Dogs a memorable and rather singular experience.

Ryse: Son of Rome – 2,49 € – Unfairly trashed to the ground when it came out, being labelled a repetitive and bland action brawler by critics. Today it stands out as a gorgeous looking cinematic tale of revenge. The combat may be bare-bones and QTE ridden, but it sure as hell is fun.

FTL – 2,49 € – Another Kickstarter success story, FTL is a rogue-like experience that puts the players in the shoes of a ship captain and tasks you with managing its various crew members and modules, choose weapon targets, manage power distribution, fend off boarding parties, keep fires under control and, above anything else- avoid dying at all costs.

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood – 2,49 € – The first videogame to do Western FPS right. Gunsling your way through the old west in this brotherly epic. The guns have the umpf and playing it in 4K right now feels just right.

Dishonored – 2,99 € – The best first-person stealth game ever made. You’re Corvo Attano, the protagonist turned assassin after getting framed for the murder of the Empress. Explore a semi-open Dunwall, a steampunk-y, plague ridden, Victorian inspired whaling city in search for revenge with the help of a special friend.

Bomber Crew – 2,99 € –  If you find stressing yourself over time and time again until exhaustion then managing a Bomber Crew is for you. Upgrade your plane, equip your mates, give them targets, altitude settings, bomb designations, use extinguishers, change stations, man the guns, drop the bombs, etc. All of this while your plane is on fire, wings are falling apart, crew-mates are dying and you just lost your pilot so hope that your gunner can do a good landing. All good fun. Despite the cartoon-ish graphics this is a hard one.

Bastion – 3,12 € – Even after 10 years of existence, Bastion is still on my top 3 recommendations for everyone trying to get started video games. A RPG with an amazing hand-painted colourful art-style. After the Camality devastated the World, the Kid is in search of answers. Coupled with an excellent and dynamic narrator that makes every fight sound dangerous and high-stakes. A diverse array of weapons gives you the tools and enemies force you to employ different strategies that. A game that will challenge the player every step of this epic journey.

Transistor – 3,35 € – From the creators of Bastion, Transistor is their second RPG with a pause, plan and execute kind of combat. Amazing art, as always.

Brothers in Arms Hell’s Highway – 3,99 € – The last piece in the B.i.A series, a visual treat when it came out all the way back to 2008 and it remains beautiful to this day. Play through the Market Garden misadventures of the 101st Airborne Division. A FPS that turns third person when in cover makes for some cinematic, movie-like pew-pew akin to Saving Private Ryan. Coordinate your fire teams to suppress your enemies and flank them for ultimate victory. Interesting character development and set pieces carries the campaign.

Spec Ops: The Line (3,99€) – A run of the mill military cover shooter that takes real aim not at in-game enemies but at the gaming culture for their representation of war. A depressing quest into the madness and chaos, the human cost and the loss of humanity in times of conflict.

Wolfenstein: The New Order 3,99 € – This reboot of the original 90’s Return to Castle Wolfenstein has a great and engrossing campaign, revamping the lore of the series and the weapons are fantastic.

EuroTruck Simulator 2 – 4,99 € – The 2012 cult classic from SCS Software arrived as a meme and stayed in gamer’s hearts forever for being one of the most chill-inducing games ever made. Drive your truck around Europe, make money, build a company. All at your own pace. Who would knew driving extremely large chunks of machinery could be so serene. ETS2 is enjoyable in it’s base form but the DLC’s add so much more variety to the scenery that they are highly recommended.

Sniper Elite 3 and 4 – 5,59 € / 8,99 € – Sniper Elite began as a hidden gem of a game in the Playstation 2, and not a very good one either. It’s trail is even shadier as it went from a semi-realistic stealth game set in Berlim to a Hitler ball-busting meme, it even had an identity crysis and tried to be Call of Duty with snipers and zombies- weird. Now it is trying to be serious again. At least I have almost no complaints about this manly sniperino adventurino

Moonlighter – 9,99 € – “This is a shop-management game with some dungeon crawler sprinkled on top with a touch of lite-rogue. You play as Will, the world’s most badass clerk: store owner by day, monster buster by night. A game wherein old ladies will buy 7 pair of lenses and crafting materials for God knows what for 800 gold coins, thief’s will shamelessly try to steal your store 3 or 4 times a day and your insomniac and workaholic character will never get a night of sleep and is fine with it.”, I wrote this.

Tank Mechanic Simulator – 7,55 € – If scraping paint, clearing rust and bolting screws is your definition of a well spent afternoon you’ll be glad to see Tank Mechanic Simulator in this list.

Rainbow Six: Siege – 9,99€ – After a disastrous launch in 2015, lag swept the servers, hit boxes and hit registers were fucked up, the game was unbalanced and all of that was worsened by accusations that Ubisoft bullshoted everyone at E3 and scrapped away graphical quality for the final launch. Siege encircled itself in a shit-show seldom seen before. Explaining everyone why the word “patch” means “to fix”- Patch after patch, it patched itself into a decent functional state. Eager operatives flooded the game and now, 6 years after it’s initial launch Siege is one of the deepest, most interesting and competitive FPS in the market. Packing a load of content supported by yearly passes. For this price you can get a basic version and the cheapest operators are by no means the worse, heck, I mostly play with them, they’re less gimmicky and more reliable.

Slay the Spire – 10,49 € – STS has you going up the Spire fighting (somewhat) randomly placed and unique creatures, picking up relics and cards and creating a deck around what you can scavenge from those encounters. With each new addition to your deck and with unique relic unveiled the way you play that run will change dramatically and no run will ever turn out the same.

Hades – 14,69 € – My personal favourite rogue-like ever created. Pure perfection. See the trailer.
