Throw Manic Miners on there. It’s a fan remake of the old Lego Rock Raiders game, and it’s really fun. There’s a custom level builder and I think there’s a browser you can search for other custom levels.

OTINOKTYAH,

Thanks for the Tip! I added it to the list!

DarkFuture, do games w I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store?
@DarkFuture@lemmy.world avatar

I hate it because it’s like they’re trying their hardest to make a shitty storefront.

It’s awful.

I get almost none of the information I need when on a game’s store page. Meanwhile, I get all the info I need and then some on the same game’s Steam page.

It’s like they don’t want to sell their product.

I do definitely appreciate the weekly free games. Sometimes, like this week, they have solid offerings. It’s Dead Island 2 this week, btw.

Jimmycakes,

Because in 2025 people get info about games they are buying from the app store instead of twitch or YouTube or the game devs website. Give me a fucking break dude.

The only way I know anything about the games I buy is by reading the store page. If I have to go looking for the dev’s website, it’s because something has gone wrong.

drspawndisaster,

I would recommend doing more research before buying, but I’m a kinda a cheap bitch

I feel like I get a pretty good idea of what a game is like from reviews and discussions.

drspawndisaster,

Oh, I must have misinterpreted you. That’s about what I do.

swelter_spark,
@swelter_spark@reddthat.com avatar

Haha, no problem.

drspawndisaster,

When I’m browsing, it’s my first stop. I want to see the minimum specs to estimate how well it’ll run, how the devs market their game at a glance, year of release, rating, etc. Then if it looks interesting it’s time for external reviews.

Don’t forget the Xash3D engine for GoldSrc games (e.g. Half-Life and mods). It runs on everything from a PSP to a PC. And it’s faithful. It relies on the original assets.

OTINOKTYAH,

Thanks. I put it on the List :)

Man, we’ve really come far since the 90s haven’t we?

osgameclones.com is the best aggregate for this kind of thing.
libregamewiki.org also looks like something relevant.

Maybe now that we have a messy thread of various links, we can go check whether some of them are not yet listed in osgameclones.

Yeah… As much as I love the Doom franchise I cannot in good conscience support anything that Marty Stratton has a hand in. That douchebag screwed over Mick Gordon (the guy that did the banger soundtracks for Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal) big time.

I mean just reading this detailed account of everything that happened makes my bile rise every time.

You get a fair-play Minesweeper-like, such as Hexcells Infinite, which can always be beaten without any guessing.

Check out Dragonsweeper! It’s a dungeoncrawler twist on minesweeper that also has a 100% determinable layout (once you understand the mechanics/behaviors)

Why did you have to say it was a joke? It’s much funnier when you don’t and people scramble to make sense of it 😂

A few more honorable mentions that are not exact re-implementations with compatibility with the original datafiles, but more spiritual followups:

Total Annihilation - TA Spring > Spring Engine > Recoil Engine > Beyond All Reason github.com/beyond-all-reason (I think there are mods that make it “Basically TA”)

Escape Velocity/EV Nova - Endless Sky endless-sky.github.io
