More games like this one?
I am interested in more games set in Africa with this game's gameplay setting, civil unrest, mercenary work, etc.

Metro Exodus, but it's not set in Africa.

100% try Fallout: New Vegas. Not Africa, but also a desert. Much bigger game with much more combat variety and gameplay aspects. Extremely deep political landscape with the option to actually join the factions, or yaknow, just destroy them all.

Sorry.. I've been searching for a FC2 alike for at least 10 years - even tried Metro E
but quit at the sight of the first monster.

There's nothing else like FC2. - If you find one with the same amount of realism,
immersion and absolute freedom please post the discovery here. - T I A -

- And Good Luck !

If you like the survival genre merged with an FPS, you can try Subsistence, which is also realistic and immersive. Made only by one developer.

Incursion Red River is somewhat promising.
it´s set in Vietnam, mercenary groups, realistic and tactical combat.

but it´s early access and lacks content atm.
you can play solo or coop, it´s an extraction shooter but the focus is PVE not PVP.
it´s grounded and reminded me vaguely of FC2...

but in general there is still really nothing quite close to FC2.
it´s still unique to this day.

Looks really good ! - I just have one question. Critical info that is never included
in adds or other promotions. -> WASD only? - Any keys on the right side of the
keyboard (from the "O" through the numeric keypad) that can't be re-assigned?
- I regularly use up to 36 of those keys.

Thanks for the link !8 )

You can always remap keys via autohotkey.

Thanks 8 ) I'll try it but I doubt it will override Rockstar's theft of the Home and
Numeric 7 keys - just as an example. Some games lock in keys for some functions.

I don´t remember exactly but I think you can remap the keys.
TBH I tried the game a while ago when it got first released but refunded after 2 hours because it was too barebones for my liking.

the concept and atmo is very cool and promising but it needs lots more work IMO.

as I played it months ago it was more a proof of concept than a real game.
recently they updated it with a new map and some new features I am keeping an eye on it and will probably rebuy once it gets more content and features.

I just mentioned here because it has some FC2 vibes, they even have a menu in the hideout basic green on black like good old FC2 shop menu....

it´s different kind of game sure, don´t expect too much but you can give it a try or keep an eye on it...

"Concept cool and promising" - "New map and features" "FC2 vibes"

Count me in ! 8 ) - That they're still working on it is encouraging, and my imagination
can do a lot with just an immersive atmosphere. - I'm following and will pick it up at
the first sale.

- Finding a game I like these days is like pulling teeth in a haystack ! B~(

- Thanks so much for the feed UnKnOwN - :steamhappy:

don´t worry, I understand perfectly, I am more or less in the same boat.

just trying to find something decent these days has become more and more difficult...

I am curious how Stalker 2 is going to be, it´s pretty much the only new game I might buy if it turns out to be good or at least decent enough... in a couple of days we will know...

fingers crossed.

Stalker 2 has weapon degradation 😯

- I think earlier I may have confused Stalker with Metro.. not sure since I stared both but
quit them early on, and that was a long time ago.

Boiling Point: Road to Hell (far cry 2 before far cry 2 was invented)
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl/Clear Sky/Call of Pripyat
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. mods like Anomaly and Call of Chernobyl

Stalker 2 needs another year in the oven. Christmas 2025 I think it will be a great game, and an easy recommendation for any fans of FC2.
