I wanted to share some PC games I enjoyed during the pandemic, not new games but fun. If you have any games to suggest please share, they do not have to be on the PC.
this 2 are investigation type games I got on sale and I was surprised that I liked but are not worth full price:
-
Sherlock Holmes: Crimes & Punishments
-
Murdered: Soul Suspect
-
Battle Brothers - tactical RPG that I still play from time to time, fun and hard game
-
Magrunner - Puzzle games similar to Portal but with cyberpunk + Cthulhu
-
Tower of Time - is a crpg that I absolutely loved
-
Enderal: Forgotten Stories - you need Skyrim to play but I doubt that is an issue. Great story
-
Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem - I actually liked it but the end game needs work and to few talents. Not sure if it is better now, I would not recommend at full price.
-
Binary Domain - old school full of action shooter where you kill robots left and right. I think this was famous but I never heard of it so adding it to the list.
I also played DMC5 and Doom but pointless to put on a list since everyone knows about those.
Any suggestions are welcomed.

The lady and I have been playing it co-op, and basically everything else in our lives has gone to shit, because neither of us currently want to do anything other than play this game all fucking day.
It really does have that effect and it's becoming a problem.
