Those were awesome as well. I just remembered the necropolis faction as well, I think it was in 3 that you could get insane numbers of skeletons / skeleton archers. Probably 5 as well.
To be honest, it’s still a little hectic for me, but I feel the most notable change is that you can avoid being countered / masterstriked. By positioning your weapon, you can block, perfect block (allows you to strike back) or masterstrike which remains unblockable. There is now an interesting back and forth between blocking, striking back and being blocked, which can go on forever - until someone has no stamina left or someone pulls off a masterstrike.
Interesting! Is it still hard as heck in 1v2? The first game lock your target in combat by default and it’s hard to see, react, or shift between enemies, the game simply not allow me to do so reliably that i keep dying very early into the game. I remember i have to mod it to make it so it’s easier to do so.
Yes, you don’t want to fight against more than one enemy, the game even has a tutorial with a stylistic drawing of you lining up the enemies in a line, so that only one can engage you at any time. I managed to pull this off with two enemies, with three you would need to tank some hits.
Sniper Elite lol! Love that damn game. Someone out there had the job programmin nazi-nutsacks, and they took their job serious. Such loving attention to destructive detail. i never once got tired of explodin them in slow motion from 500 yards. What a hero
This is an old game series, but it was proof that you could put as much blood and gore into a game as you wanted and still get a Teen rating in the US, as long as you’re just killing/dismembering Nazis.
BloodRayne. There’s a “cheat” to change a few of the visual effects. One makes her put all her weapons where she is actually storing them, and shows the unused weapons at all times. One makes the blood spray levels "more accurate to the actual amount of blood in the human body. The last one just makes her boobs bouncier.
I enjoyed return to castle Wolfenstein when it came out and competitively played Enemy Territory for years and even made a mod for it. I have no idea how it would hold up today, however
So many nice recommendations here but here are some of my recommendations in genres (in top 5 form). All of them have PC ports (but not all of the series may be available on PC)
Platformers:
Rayman
Sonic
Wonder boy
Shantae
Trine
RPGs
Final Fantasy
Tales of Series
Star Ocean
Elder Scrolls
Pathfinder
Some noteworthy mentions for RPGs
YS
Mana
Shooters:
Medal of Honor
Shadow Warrior
Doom
Call of Duty
Wolfenstein
Puzzles, point and click: Note: This was very hard to list since most of them are standalone and those that are not have interesting plot lines that you will not appreciate unless you play in order such as Syberia, Gabriel Knight, Secret Files. Walking Dead)
Myst (You can play in any order but it would be nice to play the sequels or prequels)
Broken Sword (Don’t touch 4 and 5 but you can play in any order and it would be nice to play the sequels or prequels)
Life is Strange (1 and 2 are standalone stories)
of Loathing series (It has turned based combat but very fun)
Nancy Drew
I would say I prefer them in the chronological order of their release date. Some of the series I have listed completely have either loosely, small references or completely standalone only sharing a “franchise name”
