Maalesef HOI4 Discord moderatörünüzü hala savunabildiğiniz için bir daha Paradox oyunları almayacağım ve sizi desteklemeyeceğim. “Merhaba, Hearts of Iron IV moderasyon ekibiyle iletişime geçtiğiniz için teşekkür ederiz! Atatürk; tıpkı Karl Marx gibi, modern siyasetle yakından ilişkili, kutuplaştırıcı ve tartışmalı bir tarihi figür olması nedeniyle yasaklanmıştır. Endişelerinizi ve sorularınızı duymaktan memnuniyet duyarız; geri bildirimleriniz bizim için değerlidir.”

When i bought this game it's an mild strategy game i love to play but it got progressively worse after "No One Step Back" dlc. Its just simulation slop, UI madness and worst of all content is vague. This game is just an overpriced garbage, I wouldn't bought it at this time with that price. We really shouldn't feed Corporates like this. Even making an tank origami with your money rather than buting this game will give you more fun.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.

Football Manager 27 Game Pass, and what the old FMs now cost

Games like Frostpunk for anyone who misses the Book of Laws more than the cold: the sequel's factions, a besieged house, beaver droughts, a drifting ark and the template it came from.
