This is so high on my “should play list” and yes I haven’t gotten around to it. Is it truly as good as folks say? What are your experiences with it having played the original?
Never played the original since it seemed a little too old, but did play ss2. I thought the remake was really good and a lot of fun. If you enjoyed the sequel or just really any of the games like it, I don’t think there’s anything in there that would turn you off from it, especially if you’re getting it on sale for like $15.
So, most of my recommendations are going to be FPS or first person. For Valve related stuff:
Half-Life 2 is pretty much a must have along with Episodes 1 and 2.
Black Mesa is a remake of the original.
Entropy : Zero 2 is a fantastic fan made mod that’s a good follow up after finishing Half-Life 2 and the episodes.
The original Entropy : Zero is pretty good, but the default difficulty is hard as hell.
Portal 1 and 2 are also a must have
Portal: Revolution is an independent mod that’s a good follow up after 2.
As for non-Valve games and related:
Crab Champions - fast paced, third-person, rogue-like shooter.
Talos Principle 1 and 2 - first-person puzzles with a serious philosophical scifi story. It actually gets a bit heavy when it discusses mortality and death. 1 is being remade into a “definitive edition”.
Untitled Goose Game - Honk!
Gnorp Apologue - fun little game
Pineapple on pizza - it’s free. I would describe it as games-as-art.
Any of the Serious Sam games. They were made for PC.
Fallen Aces is still in early access, but a good story driven retro FPS with sprites and multiple ways of navigating each level.
Trepang2 - a bit of an odd FPS with bullet time.
Roboquest - rogue like FPS
Exit 8 - horror walking simulator. Kinda short once you figure it out.
APE OUT - Ape smash! Top down “shooter”.
Hotline Miami 1 and 2 - top down shooters with fast deaths and excellent soundtracks
The Binding of Isaac - has always been popular if a little dated
Gunpoint - stealth puzzle third person. Came out a decade ago, but a good game.
Party Hard - little indie murder-everyone-and-don’t-get-caught.
The Stanley Parable - walking simulator with some interesting dialog and interactions. 9-to-5 office people can relate.
Dusk - awesome boomer shooter
Antichamber - came out a decade ago, but it’s mind bending first-person puzzles.
Hades and Hades 2 which is in early access. Third person isometric rogue-like.
The Invincible - Story driven walking simulator based off the book of the same name. Good story.
Firewatch - story driven walking simulator
Deep Rock Galactic - wasn’t my pint of beer, but a lot of people like it.
