A terrific logic game with a delightful soundtrack. As I remember now, it was the summer of 2009, I was walking through a field from the village and listened track from this game «Ghost - Lullaby». Beautiful childhood memories! For the greatest immersion, I suggest playing on a touchscreen with a stylus. The game - for the ages!

«Half Life: Source» feels like a different game. The lighting has changed from orange to cooler tones of blue. The atmosphere is darker. Ragdoll has been added what provides realism. Reworked lighting and objects now cast shadows. I think this game is a good remaster of the original «Half-Life».

No interface, no dialogues, just action and ambient music. No hints or distractions. This allows you to immerse yourself in this project. For me, this work is on the verge of a game and an art house movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes the melancholic atmosphere of being.

«Gothic 2» - was moved away from the dark and gray atmosphere of «Gothic 1» and has gone in the direction of a brown-green fantasy world.

Sure you'll also die from two wolf bites, but the world is more friendly to you, since you're now «The Chosen One!» I enjoyed going back to the colony more in chapter two.

It's where I finally felt at home. The city of «Khorinis» itself and its surroundings did not impress me.
«Human Fall Flat» - is an engaging indie game. It quickly gained popularity thanks to its unique physics-based gameplay mechanics and unusual puzzles.

Physics Interaction:
Players control a character who moves and interacts with the environment using unique and amusing physics. The character's movements appear comical and unpredictable, adding a unique charm to the game. Every step and action require the player to control the character's arms and legs, creating additional challenges and fun.

Unusual Puzzle Solving:
Players need to solve a variety of puzzles using physics and object interactions. Tasks can include moving boxes, using levers and buttons, building bridges, and much more. An important aspect of the game is the freedom to choose solutions: players can approach solving tasks in different ways, making each playthrough unique.

Fun in Co-op:
«Human Fall Flat» is especially good in co-op mode. The game supports multiplayer, where several players can team up to complete levels together.
This game is a reinvention of the idea of «Counter-Strike».

I can understand why old «CS 1.6» fans might not like it. «CS GO» is made for a completely different audience and mostly for the younger generation.

It's not as minimalistic as «1.6», but it has a lot more logic and variety. More than 9 game modes that are completely different. Also the game itself is more fun.

I personally like the appearance of logic and some sort of game lore. Each map has its own set of factions of terrorists and counter-terrorists, which corresponds to location or country in which the operation. It's very immersive.

The best medieval multiplayer slasher at the moment. Ask me why? There have been many attempts.

«Chivalry: Medieval Warfare», «Of Kings And Man», «War of the Roses». The first game is alive but outdated, the second two projects were defeated and are no longer available on «Steam».

«MORDHAU » was ahead of the curve and has been alive for 3 years. As I remember now, on May 29, 2019 (a month after the release of the game), I played it for the first time and was amazed by the realism, atmosphere and of course the customization.

I haven't had this much emotion in any game in years! The only project after «Sronghold» that let me «feel» the «Middle Ages». I wish the same for you!

This part completely reinvents the way the story is told. «Story mode» is more similar to the first part of «THUG».

Since we start from scratch and end up as a proskater. There is both drama and a sudden twist. Less hilarity, more realism. The idea of making the story narrative through a punk zine comic, conveys the atmosphere of 80's punk-rock, which looks special.

And of course the «Classic mode» as always good, but just shorter than usual. Only 6 levels.

Multiplayer in this game stands out to me especially. I remember creating clan with friends, organizing competitions. Writing our nicknames in colored fonts and much more. Warm memories.

«THPS» now goes online!

The novelty of this version, «THPS 3», is the online multiplayer mode. There are a total of eight modes in the game:

Graffiti:
«Tag» an obstacle or area by performing a trick. Steal others' territories by executing more successful tricks. Each player has their own color.

Trick Attack:
Skate simultaneously with other players for a set amount of time. The winner is the one with the most points for tricks.

Slap!:
Collide with other players. The faster player remains standing and earns one point. The winner is the player with the most points for «Slap!».

King of the Hill:
Find the crown hidden in the level and wear it for as long as possible. While wearing it, you skate slower, giving other players a chance to knock the crown off you. The winner is the player who wears the crown first for the specified time.

Free Skate:
Skate with other people. No winners, no losers.

Control Zones:
Two teams fight for control of one zone. Control the zone by holding the key. Dropping the key allows the other team to pick it up and gain control.

Keep Away:
Find the ball and skate with it. By performing tricks while holding the ball, you earn points for tricks. If you fall or get hit, you lose the ball. If the ball is picked up by someone else, they earn points.

Capture the Flag:
Well, you know what capture the flag is.

The online game supports up to eight skaters simultaneously, making it quite chaotic. I think talented players might really enjoy the graffiti or trick attack modes.

It made a splash at the time and many gamers spent hours competing in sessions.

Easy Start:
«Heroes of the Storm» is known for its accessibility and simplified mechanics compared to other games in the «MOBA» genre. It reduces many of the complex elements , such as gold management and item use, making it ideal for newcomers

Team Gameplay:
Unlike most «MOBAs», where individual skill and farming can lead to victory, «HotS» focuses on team play and cooperative actions. Teams can level up together, meaning that there's no character that significantly outpaces the others in strength.

Unique Maps:
Game offers a range of unique maps, each with its own features and objectives. This adds variety to each match.

Heroes from Blizzard Universes:
For fans of «Blizzard» games, the presence of heroes from different universes is a major advantage. It allows players to play as their favorite characters in a completely different context.
«Underrated»
I love this game because of its story and mercenaries modes.

But overall, «Curse of Naxxramas» (2014) is my favorite expansion. It's that very add-on where players could face off against various bosses from the famous «World of Warcraft» raid - «Naxxramas». The expansion added 30 new cards and introduced interesting mechanics and strategies.

In general, I liked «Hearthstone» more at its early stage. Now the game has expanded, many decks have appeared, and there's a lot to relearn.

«OST on repeat»
The best lightsaber fencing game in the «STAR WARS» universe.

To date, there is no better game in this genre. After 16 years, it's very nice playing. The story and gameplay is top notch. For fans of multiplayer, it will be a pleasant surprise that the servers are not empty and there is always a duelist. Duels in this game is a special event! Sparring can drag on for several minutes.

Highly recommended.

New

«The Frozen Throne» brings with it new units for each of the four races, adding even more variety to battles. These include both simple units and heroes, offering even more strategies and tactical solutions for players. In addition, The Frozen Throne improves the balance of the game by making changes to the cost and power of certain units and abilities, as well as adjusting some map elements to improve strategy.

Story

Expansion continues the story of «Warcraft III» by introducing a new campaign that follows the events of the original game. «The Frozen Throne» offers even more story moments and impressive twists and turns, fleshing out «Warcraft's» story and deepening the lore.

Multiplayer and Custom Maps

Addon brings many improvements to «Warcraft III's» multiplayer, including new maps and mods. Perhaps the most notable change, however, was the improved map editor, allowing players to create even more complex and engaging custom maps. This certainly played a role in the development of «DotA» and the emergence of the «MOBA» genre.

Conclusion

If «Reign of Chaos» was an RTS masterpiece, «The Frozen Throne» brings even more skill and finesse to it, making it an indispensable addition to the original game.

I remember playing this game for the first time in June 2008, on a private server. I only found out about the MMORPG based on «Warcraft» in the fall of 2007 when I got internet access, and it took me a year to fulfill my wish.

I remember it vividly. I played with a classmate, knowing nothing about the game - each of us chose a Night Elf Warrior. At that time, it was our second MMO, as before that, we had played «RF Online» together.

We diligently leveled up, playing every day. I remember the rates were x5 and levels came easily. At that time, we knew nothing about gear colors, dungeons, let alone raids. We just did quests and enjoyed ourselves.

Since it was a private server, there were not only lags and bugs but also «rollbacks». That's when your progress rolled back, for example, 12 hours. It was amusing.

This story ended in August when the server decided to switch to «The Burning Crusade». Somehow we didn't bother to find where to get this expansion, as we hadn't explored the vanilla content. As a result, our adventure ended there.

It was an interesting experience of getting acquainted with «Western» MMORPG.

In 2021, I played «Vanilla WoW» for real.

Before that, I only played for a month on a private server, back in 2008, and I knew absolutely nothing about the game.

In 2021, I truly got to experience the game because «Burning Crusade Classic» was released, and 99% of players went there. Only those who truly loved vanilla remained.

As a result, during prime time, there were about 120 people on our server, and during working hours, the online count dropped to below 50. And this fostered a certain solidarity within our community.

We went into dungeons every day, did quests together, just chatted, exchanged contacts. A week later, we were already gathering in «Discord» and just chatting.

Personally, I couldn't endure the classic and got tired of it at level 47. I ran through several dungeons for my level. Ended up at «Zul'Farrak». Leveled up primary and secondary professions as much as possible. And just did various quests for experience and low-level ones for reputation.

I advise everyone to find a party of 5 people and spend time interestingly, as we did.

Have a great day.

This game is a masterpiece. It immerses me in the Celtic culture. The music and the game design in the style of an oil painting create the atmosphere of a living painting. The image of the young boy relates me to British private schools. Very good.

For me, this DLC is the best, as we finally leave the grim atmosphere of «City 17» and go to the nature. As for me, if «EP1» was an addition to the original «Half-life 2», then «EP2» feels like a separate game because of the sharp and more twisted story. It is also longer in timing. The HDR and graphics are also a joy to behold. Well and of course the flashlight icon on the HUD interface is awesome. Love it!

Expectation and reality. Followed this game to release.

What was promised: Castle sieges, clans, factions, building destruction, territory grabbing.

None of the promises have been fulfilled.
«Disappointment of the year»
A direct descendant of «Age of Chivalry». For those who don't know - «Team Chivalry» in late 2007 created a mod for «Half-Life 2» called «Age of Chivalry». It has already been a siege of castles, storming gates, building bridges. There were dynamic campaigns in which the outcome of the battle influenced the choice of the next map. It was one of the best mods of the «modding» era of the «Source» engine. This mod inherited all of the above and put it all together in a separate game. All became much more dynamic and beautiful! I advise to review.

Cool game for its time. Character customization, different types of attack, weapon grip and all this in 2012. What has now been successfully implemented at «‎MORDHAU». Someone will say: «‎Hello, it was in Mount & Blade». No, the gameplay and mechanics are different. In general, it is bad, that the project was closed. I managed to catch him at the end of 2016.
