The main positive aspect about War Thunder is that, owing to the fact that its a Russian game, you can spam the N-word with no repercussions.

Peggle Deluxe is a complex interactive experience that drags you through several stages of dynamic puzzle contraptions where the ubiquitous presence of orange so called "Peggles" must be systematically eliminated through the tactical deployment of small spherical objects, colloquially henceforth referred to as "balls". This immediate dichotomy that the player is presented with sets the stage for the onslaught of perilous challenges that, although daunting, are nonetheless exhilarating to face and overcome, and do indeed create a certain sense of satisfaction and enjoyment on the player's end, closing the Ouroboros that is the positive feedback loop, at a meta level, between the player and the inanimate entity that is the videogame Peggle Deluxe itself.

Indeed, one might even come to the conclusion that Peggle is a game about the certainty of uncertainty, the logical response to paradoxes in life and the dialectical Hegelian thesis / anti-thesis / synthesis schematic approach to solving them, even though I personally subscribe to a more medieval, somewhat Neo-Platonic, but with anachronistic 19th century romantic and modernist elements, frame of reference, aiming to somehow, through the process of positive materialism, reconcile the apparently incompatible millennialism with Marx's theory of Capital, striving for a genuinely Utopian, eschatological Christian Communism that sees in the idea of "Aufheben" not an abolition in reactionary, fascist adjacent, terms, but rather a distillation, a purification, allowing things to be as they are and as they seem, without fetishistic bourgeois veils and specters hanging over them and substituting their essence with a perverted facsimile.

Don't

Peggle Extreme will make you laugh and cry, it will grant you intense moments of joy and sadness as you witness the peaks and depths of both human jubilation and deep melancholic sorrow.

Fun football videogame with the most mentally ill playerbase you could ever possibly imagine

Imagine League of Legends but each 1/3 of the playerbase is either Russian, schizophrenic weaboos, or enraged north africans (turkey included) that scarily dwell among us

Why have you got to put all these f*cking spider sections man

Its like Battlefield if it were even more bootleg and Chinese.

In this game you play as a bald MGTOW racist misogynist white supremacist as he goes around the world on his eugenicist campaign for the cleansing of the gene pool, however as the game progresses the plot twist is revealed that he was in fact being contracted by Israel to prune the lose ends of the true ongoing shadow war between modern day majority Polish DNA Jews and the true original Semitic people they wish to eradicate, as to finally stake their claim as the true chosen people.

After finally reaching enlightenment over this conspiracy, Agent 47 does the only rational thing - he goes to the White House to enact a massive casualty event, killing ♥♥♥♥ Cheney in the process and ensuring peace and prosperity for humanity.

The rich literary analogy manifests itself in the irony that, our titular white supremacist, finally comes to terms with accepting the vastness and holistic diversity of humanity whilst himself standing within the White House, after having figuratively and literally painted it red.

A striking experience, the sort of game that doesn't really get made anymore - thick immersive environments backed by incredible graphics for its time and they still hold up today (in all honesty the OG version holds up better stylistically than the Redux).

The game is rather short in scope, mechanics like the ammo, weapons and gear merchants feel odd in retrospect when you realize you only find like 4 of them throughout the entire game, and arbitrary ammo distribution and weapon choice can leave you with basically dead weight weapon slots in the last 1/3 of the game.

Nevertheless, this is an unique and worthwhile game to play through, of high pedigree worthy to stand in line in the pantheon with other iconic FPS games of its ilk.

Whilst by no means being a masterpiece, Enlisted manages to be a refreshingly simple and enjoyable experience, that is somewhat reminiscent of both older WW2 shooters, and older Free2Play games from around a decade ago in general - that being by including a simple yet rewarding mechanical gameplay core, with flashes of Red Orchestra, Cod 2 or even Day of Defeat, as well as a seemingly inexhaustible well of content to delve into, in the form of new squads, classes, weapons and vehicles, each opening up new gameplay opportunities and always maintaining the proverbial carrot on the stick for the player to chase.

The overall structure of the progression and grind shouldn't be unfamiliar to those who have played War Thunder, from the same publisher, though I can honestly say this game is infinitely less frustrating, perhaps because of the integration of the bots into your squads as a buffer for both fun and annoyance, perhaps by the simple mechanical reality that even with the simplest bolt action rifle you start with, everyone goes down with 1 singular torso shot - no matter how many bells and whistles one might have, 1 shot and they're dead.

The result is a game that, at the price tag of 0 $ € £, is an excellent value proposition, extremely compatible with jumping into it with a couple of friends for some strikingly engaging WW2 adventures. Seriously, this game has like 60 maps, its a veritable World War 2 world tour, puts the like of Battlefield to shame with the sheer variety.
