Clear Sky is the Pre-Sequel to Shadow of Chernobyl taking place a year before the events of SoC. You'll take control of a mercenary named Scar, first seen guiding a group of Ecologists in the Great Swamp, before sh*t hits the fan and a blowout occurred. You wake up and find yourself completely intact, saved by the main faction, Clear Sky. Puzzled by how Scar survived the blowout, the leader of the faction, Lebedev tasks you with finding a group of stalkers who's supposedly the reason blowouts are happening left and right. it's a matter of cat and mouse chasing the group of stalkers led by Strelok from the first game, encountering different factions with their own set of quests and stories to share.

New mechanics are introduced to the game like Weapon Repair / Upgrades, Emissions, and most importantly: Faction Wars. You can join other factions and participate in their own wars taking territories while earning rewards from respective factions.

Artifacts also had a big change, instead of finding them like candy scattered in the roads on the first game, they're now much rarer and require a detector to spot and obtain one, usually stepping into those dangerous anomalous fields, throwing screws, and moving towards it while avoiding immediate death.

The graphics have improved from the first game, from the gorgeous lighting and the amazing atmosphere like its predecessor. The models and textures are better, and the environment is much more high res.

Now.. the problems
- Shooting kinda sucks, bullets usually don't hit their mark, while enemies are pretty accurate.
- Stutters aren't common but if they do get common, it blows.
- Bleeding is now deadlier, It doesn't go away on its own, and bandages are rarer and expensive.
- loading a quicksave changes the time and makes the AI ignore you, breaking immersion.
- Machine gun nest at the cordon, the reason most people gave up on the game.
- Grenades were introduced and AI's can finally throw them :D, but boy are they accurate, 5 dudes throwing grenades in sync while you hopelessly shoot your peashooter at them is both cries worthy and frustrating. Also, they spam that thing like sending ERP requests to E-girls
- And of course, the numerous glitches and bugs. from NPCs going and seeing you through walls. to some game-breaking ones like joining the bandit faction and breaking most MAIN quests with fellow loners and most of the other factions.

But I still highly recommend this game! Not a masochist but it's still a pretty good stalker game in my books. You could download the Sky Reclamation Project which fixes most of the bugs you'll encounter in the vanilla game. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna cry myself to sleep as I reminisce the pain and joy of playing this masterpiece.

Killing Floor 2 is a survival game where you and 5 others face off hordes and hordes of different types of specimens or zeds as they're referred to, with a boss fight in the end.

PROS
+ 10 different perks to choose from each having it's own unique playstyles.
+ A wide selection of weapons to choose from.
+ The game runs really smooth and the guns feel really impactful
+ Beautiful graphics, Animations are well made, over-the-top gore, and good sound design.
+ Challenging difficulties, each difficulty changing the way zeds move or act making for a different kind of combat experience.
+ Over 10+ characters which you can customize the hell out of.
+ 10+ maps and god knows how many custom maps on the workshop.
+ 4 different gamemodes ( Survival, Endless, Weekly, and Versus Survival )
+ A heart pounding metal soundtrack!
+ Devs communicates with playerbase

CONS
- Beneficial mechanics are not taught to the player: Reload Cancelling, Parrying, and Zed Mechanics
- Tedious levelling system ( it may take hours or days just to max out a perk )
- Occasional crashes ( This is a different case for everyone, others may have an unplayable crashing stump or some may rarely experience this )
- Utterly Repetitive ( Still fun nonetheless )
- has a fun steep learning curve
- Microtransaction ( Skins and Cosmetics, A subjective thing but I don't mind it one bit )
- Has bugs and rarely gamebreaking ones.

Overall:
It's a fantastic bloody mess! I highly recommend this game if you're into survival and/or zombie games. Even if you're not a fan of the original killing floor, there's alot more to enjoy on this one.

Postal 2 is one of those games where you can mess around and have some gory fun! Even though the game is 15 years old. It still manage to be an entertaining game even after all those years.

The Game is about the everyday life of Postal Dude being tasked with tedious things by his "Lovely" Wife and doing his own stuff as well. Sounds boring huh? I assure you that the game has more to it than just that. You can explore almost everywhere and all of the houses and buildings can be entered. Npcs reacts to you barging into their home either by calling the police or retaliating to you. You can also be thrown in jail which you can easily break out of by the way. There's also a variety of weapons like, a sawed off that can blast a body into pieces, a sledgehammer that can smash and decapitate a person, and even a napalm launcher if you're feeling really psychotic.

Postal 2 is a dark comedy of a game and I suggest grabbing it if you're looking for something fun and entertaining.
