Recommended Oct 2, 2026

it keeps crashing my pc at questionable ethics but i still really like it

Recommended Oct 2, 2026

A cool look into what a community can do. While it's not the most faithful remake and has it's flaws, it's still a very cool experience.

Recommended Oct 2, 2026

The best game in the Half Life series isnt even made by Valve

Not recommended Oct 2, 2026

I hated this game. There are about 10x more empty hallways and confusing puzzles than there are enemy interactions. Snoozefest that i can't believe anyone actually enjoys. If you like this, you might like a Where's Waldo book

Recommended Oct 1, 2026

The game is really fun and it also is way better than the original.
