Far Cry 1 was an impressive technical construction, an okay as a game. It was only the second shooter game (Serious Sam 1 being the first) that wasn't set on a dingy space station or moon, instead opting for a bright, sunny exterior location.

Speaking of SS1, it was a shame the remakes of the first game couldn't manage to pull off the wacky gravity rooms the original engine could do seamlessly, that was some of my favourite early shooter games 'wow' moments.

Also; CONTROL is out of its one year EPIC purgatory now:

I have been playing pixel starships on and off for a while. Released on steam recently and they made a change to the tournament system that balances things better, not favoring spending all day playing. The devs have been releasing new content continuously.

The gist of the game is you make a spaceship, arrange the layout and pick what rooms and crew, each room and each crew has individual ai that you can control, rooms have modules and crew has equipment and training. The ai adds a lot of depth. The last week of every month is a tournament and prizes are awarded. The same group won every one for three years until april this year

The only reason the only post-nuke contact with the US is with Ireland is that the rest of the world has cordoned them off.

not OP I didn't like it because the old timey video filters started to piss me off and the gameplay was too much exactly the same as the previous far cry which I mean i could have expected but I'd rather have played blood dragon without having played the previous game if that makes sense

Feeling like playing something recent when I've finished my first playthrough of Dragons Dogma - CONTROL or the Jedi Fallen Order game tho? P. much the same price right now.

all according to keikaku

i have a theory that blood dragon has the hype it does because a fair number of vocal people played just blood dragon and no other fars cry

yeah to me the gameplay was fine but nothing that you couldn’t get from the base game and the aesthetic was way cooler to look at in a 2 minute trailer than an hours-long playthrough

the just-released Steam version is touted as the 'Ultimate' with both add-on dlcs included, not sure if they are planning any more after this to make a bit extra cash from the new playerbase though.

Looking at the Steam reviews (never a good idea usually) this version has some always-on connection DRM bullshit that neither the Epic nor the upcoming (sept 10th) GOG version do, so if that's an issue then wait for the GOG version.

if its normal steam drm you have to launch the game once while steam is online and then it can be played offline.
