For five bucks, the nostalgia hit from the GTA2 days is worth it. Reminds me a little of State of Emergency mixed with the art style of Chinatown Wars.

I don't even like poker, oh god help I can't stop

How lovely is this? TR was a huge part of my childhood and despite all the jankiness in the controls I get a sense of wonder and nostalgia I haven't had in years. What a lovely remaster - the right way, which is "the way you remember it" instead of forcibly upping the polycount on everything. PS. Always lock the butler in the freezer, it's always the morally correct choice.

Delightful.

An addictive non-game that works for the dopamine-addled brain.

I have played this mod for 20 years. That probably says enough.

Don't let the playtime fool you, I have hundreds of hours of this game on Epic, PS4 and Xbox. Here's the kicker: they actually use Neversoft's old handling code for this remake, so it's exactly as good as you remember it. THPS1+2 has snappy controls, great visuals, the works. Something to thoughtlessly get addicted to, time and time again.

We'll probably never see a THPS3+4, but cherish this remake, as it shows a great game with great care put into it. It's made by people who really really love the series, and it shows.

Google "THPS Pro" to get the 3+4 levels into this as a mod, and keep on getting dunked by the pros in Online. The skill ceiling is high, but oh so worth it.

If I purchase a game title, I should be able to play it. Your servers are not working. Here's my opinion of that.

What an utterly fantastic adventure - riveting from start to finish! Played my first campaign as Bard-Warlock (Eldritch Blast is just that good). The storyline and characters are simply unforgettable. Aside from some minor bugs, this was a great time - I can't wait to start another game and see what different choices you can do. Act 3 was the only thing that kept dragging on a bit - and I could have used some New Vegas -style ending slides. Other than that, I'd say this is the GOTY contender for 2023.

A modern masterpiece combining the intricacy of a puzzle box to a stealth experience like none other. It'll take hundreds of hours to master (I've got many, many more hours in HITMAN 2 on Steam and HITMAN 3 on Epic) but the payoff is an absolute thrill.

With the Freelancer update, it's one of the best games of all time. Whether you like to go ham and figure out the most hilarious way to get rid of a race car driver (possibly involving a rubber duck or two) or you want to master all levels Silent Assassin Suit Only style there's something for everybody here.

Favorite levels: Berlin, Miami, Sapienza, Isle of Sgail.
