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.

I mean, they are ancient Greeks. Being pretty fucking gay isn't exactly a stretch.
Its a minor thing that if the reasons for are less than couth, I'll still stomach because they are still making amazing products regardless. If more "inclusivity" devs made strong products like that I'd be much more tolerant of their bullshit.
And yeah, Bug Fables flew under a lot of radars. I only know of it because I sometimes scroll through /v/ while pooping and they brought it up.
Haven't you been paying attention? The 'inclusivity' bullshit always pushes for more and more power until they get rid of everyone who isn't as woke as them then what was once a great company just shits the bed from then on.
Look at what happened Marvel, Disney, Naughty Dog and so many others. Don't give these people a single inch.
I've paid plenty attention. I don't believe this was a woke decision. I think it was a "holy fuck the Greeks were gay" thing that justified being a little more homo than normal in game.
I've got 3 great games from them (and Pyre was also there), if I'm wrong and they shit the bed then I abandon them to their fate.
