Freespace 2

Game is great, best of its kind. Even 25 years later and even without counting in strong moding community. Cant recommend it at this price. $25 spike from $10 regular to under $5 on sale. Release date is not 2014, this game is from 1999. Gabe Newell : "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem." Pricing of this game is why he said "almost always" instead of always.

Game is broken beyond belief, and imo, is not worth the dozens of issues you'll have to fix. It's astonishing valve even sells this, let alone at THIS price.

straight, no chaser

First thing you need to know about this game is that you should not use steam to play it, but install the knossos launcher after and having the game installed on your computer in order to run the modded version with quality of life features and better graphics. Just search up guides and install the freespace upgrade media VPs for better graphics. With knossos you can play Freespace 1, Freespace Silent Threat: Reborn, Freespace 2, and a bunch of fan made mods which I haven't tried yet. Also if you want to play this game, make sure you have the numpad on your keyboard, I can't imagine playing this game without that. This whole series is mission focused, where you go through scripted missions trying not to fail objectives or dying. You also get teammates that you can usually command, and it's fun to set everyone's position at the start of the missions, like giving yourself a fighter to cover you or having a wing defend an escort and another wing intercepting bombers before they reach the escort. Another thing to note is that your teammates are actually competent and can sometimes even finish missions with you only commanding them, but they're not suicidal, so a bomber won't keep movi…
