I've been diving back into Ghost Recon Wildlands after discovering just how damn enjoyable the game is at the highest difficulty levels. Suddenly sniper rifles and stealth are the only viable playstyles, and I feel like I'm actually being tested by the AI rather than watching all these paper narcos obligingly fall over and die for my amusement. I also love how unwoke the game is. Very America Fuck Yeah.
I also dusted off Master of Magic. Still haven't found a 4X that rivals it in my eyes, and it's not nostalgia talking. I actually never played it growing up (though I played MoO and MoO2 like my childhood depended on it). Good shit.
Following, because I'm in exactly the same boat. I'm running through Far Cry Primal again, but I'll need something else soon. Suggestions welcome.
It's tough, right?
I personally enjoy good war stories and historical shooters, but there hasn't been a really good campaign in a historical-type shooter in a long time -- what a shame.
