[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33401179/]Follow my curator page for more recommendations![/url][/quote] Successor to the GoldSrc mod of the same name. Retro-style multiplayer FPS running on the FTE QuakeWorld engine. It's honestly pretty dead as far as playercount goes, but it has bot support which is good enough for me and makes it worth the price. It also has mod support, including an open source editor! Also this is such a damn good looking game. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3280427500 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3280427516 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3280427473

i am going to try to be as nice as possible bc I caught you guys refund trapping literally 3 levels in and im going to use the dev from 2018s response to a reviewer since the comments are locked and this needs to be public so they dont tank this project entirely. I played the wastes as a kid and played with all of yall, i loved that big city map wit the the hidden department soooooo much! anyway here we go: >eukara [developer] Posted: Jun 17, 2018 @ 5:56pm We're sorry that we couldn't make you happy with your purchase. Hopefully we can make you reconsider with our future updates. Statement regarding the issues above: The soundtrack and the vehicles were created for the original mod, they just weren't implemented back then due to engine limitations. -------------------------------------- as a gldsrc modder yes: vehicles were always an issue, no music was not, they even had random music working through speakers in cstrike via hammer3d or whatever jsut like oh IDK unreal >There are 4 heads-up-displays to choose from in the Customisation menu, one of them is the HUD from The Wastes 1.4 - which we show in our article about Menu and HUD design which you can read on our Announcement…

Unbelievably good. Still, it lacks a full and proper campaign, since we instead just get a bite of several missions, so the only thing left to do after the missions are finished is to play deathmatch with bots, which is also fun. It needs more content, because so far it looks like a perfect wrapper with no candy inside, and we are all hungry for more.

I'm playing against bots, why does it feel so toxic?

Really fun, needs more people playing it. Weapons are satisfying and fun to use. The maps are great to run around in and it has an awesome soundtrack. Nice blend of hl and fallout. The single player is really fun as well. I didn't expect a sp mode in this game. Some of the missions are ridiculously difficult though. The melee guys are difficult to counter and enemies just endlessly spawn in after you kill them at some points on the map, which is kinda BS.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

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.
