Amazing game with a great developer and a nice community. It's still being actively developed and updated after all these years. If you're into space titles such as Elite Dangerous, or Rebel Galaxy, and you also enjoy sandboxes such as Valheim, then No Man's Sky might be for you.

Isonzo is a great warfare experience. If you like bolt-action & semi-automatic weaponry, with some tactical additions of heavy machine guns and cannons in some defined locations, as well as the occasional light machine gun on the field of battle, then it's definitely worth a try.

It's slightly similar to Battlefield 1, yet without all the ridiculous submachine guns around every corner. Or like a more approachable Beyond the Wire.

A very unique approach to MMORPGs. Classless and with an advanced character progression, Gorgon relies heavily on skills (combat & trade). In some ways, it may be familiar to people that know EverQuest 1, RuneScape (2007), Mabinogi, and some other classic titles.

The free version offers enough glimpse to understand Gorgon, and the progression carries over in case of purchase. There are no pay-to-win mechanics, which is reassuring.

If you are looking for a classy experience with a modernised feel, Gorgon's a great one at this.

A very enjoyable medievalesque experience. Combat is really engaging and skill-based, easy enough to learn and difficult to master. Goals and objectives vary by each map and provide a unique experience. Additionally, you can pick up just about everything - from beer tankards to chandeliers and utilise these in your skirmishes.

Whether you like going single player or co-op, Barotrauma is great at both. Each role is unique and useful, the AI performs well at maintaining the ship, and the selection of Vanilla submarines is very balanced and engaging to adventure in.
As long as you stick to the Vanilla-level of balance, you won't find Barotrauma as too easy or boring - especially if you bring your friends along!

On paper, New World is a decent MMORPG with plenty of content. It is mainly PvE-focused, with open world PvP between three factions.

It has been fairly casual on launch, however it has increasingly received more grind focus. There used to be many smaller skirmishes across the island, however it turned to mass fights. New World isn't optimised well, and its servers are lacking. Constant queues despite being a longer amount of time past launch.

Overall I would put a neutral review on New World if Steam, however the fact that an MMORPG uses Easy Anti-Cheat gets it a negative for me. This does not prevent exploits and glitches from happening, as the marketplace has often been closed, the chat has allowed for code injection, and in general the technical side is quite sloppy.

Warframe is an MMO with a really unique universe and a very nice story to it. While it is sort of focused on grinding, it's not what truly makes Warframe. It can be enjoyed at your own pace, be it casual, hardcore, or something in between.

I recommend giving it a try if you've enjoyed Diablo, Path of Exile, or any other hack & slash titles, despite the different viewing perspective.

Fallout 76 is a really interesting take on the Fallout setting, placing it in an online environment based on multiple, simultaneous server shards.

Despite its past mistakes, most of them if not all have already been an experience for the developers to improve the game to great heights. It is in a really playable state and is quite a decent RPG on its own.

It has many similarities to Fallout 4, the graphics are well-done, and the overall atmosphere of Fallout 76 is very immersive (especially from the first person view).

TaleSpire is first and foremost something for a Role-Playing Game (an RPG). Thus, to use it the way it is meant one needs a Game Master (a Narrator, a Dungeon Master) and optimally between 3 to 5 players, however less is also plausible. Builders can also find a little something for themselves, as one could just build things for the sake of building.

TaleSpire is meant to be system agnostic, so if you're running something other than Dungeons & Dragons (D&D), such as any of the D100-based Basic Role-Playing (BRP) ones, then you'll find this a really universal platform.

That being said, it does what it does very well, and I would say it is subjectively superior to Roll20, FantasyGrounds and FoundryVTT (cost-wise especially to the monthly upkeep of Roll20 and FoundryVTT).

Superb game, it's like Dwarf Fortress or RimWorld, but from the perspective of the invading force - a scheming demon lord, to be precise. Really fun and can last for endless hours.
