The developers are Ukrainian, and Russia invaded Ukraine in the middle of development.

Back 4 Blood.

You know what, it’s not Left 4 Dead 3, but I love it. It feels like L4D meets Call of Duty. The card system really makes the game for me; building better decks to play higher difficulties with more chaotic corruption cards.

The corruption cards especially make levels so much more replayable than they already would be. Getting fog over a level or a different type of ridden mutation appearing spices things up nicely.

It’s also extremely beautiful at points. I love the graphical style. It’s colorful and a tad cartoonish at points, with some genuinely disgusting visuals and insane ruins thrown in for good measure.

I wouldn’t buy it for full price, but the $9.99 I paid for the full game + DLC was more than worth it, in my opinion.

He has got to only be saying this because Starfield DLC did poorly. The audience moves on if the game isn’t interesting. Personally, I buy all the DLC for games I enjoy. I don’t know many people that don’t either.

Quite a few, I’m one of those people. In fact, I could answer this question in so many different ways. The game I feel is the “prize” of my collection, though, is Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude.

I like the classic point and click Leisure Suit Larry games; I think they have a certain charm about them, and though they’re drenched in sleaze, Larry in his quests for sex more often than not ends up the butt of the joke. Raunchy, sexual, but most importantly, mainly making fun of our protagonist desperately trying to get laid. The gameplay was fun too, point and click games have a certain feel that you don’t see too much today. On top of all that, when the series moved into a more higher resolution art for LSL 4, 6 and 7 the series genuinely beautiful with an unforgettable style

LSL: MCL does not have much of this. You play truly horribly designed minigames over and over to progress. These range from bad to worse, and you will become the best virtual quarters player of all time by the end of it, I promise you. The comedy is reduced to 2000s boner comedy level, and it seems as though Larry (or Larry’s nephew, Larry, in this case) is an unironic protagonist on a real quest, rather than failing upwards, accompanied by the constant mockery of our witty narrator. What once was a series about a hopeless sleazeball constantly petitioning and getting rejected by women out of his league got turned into a unironic college boning simulator. To top it all off, our beautiful art has been replaced by the early-2000s-est of 3D models and textures

I played it for 22 hours or so. Couldn’t stop. It’s like a car crash. Not only does it If any game deserves “so bad, it’s good” status, LSL: MCL is at the top of the list.

For those kind enough to read my rant, here are some runners up from my shelf in which I assume you’d also be interested:

BCFX The Black College Football Experience: A college football game where only Historically Black Colleges and Universities are selectable. Only part of the game is really about football, because you also play as the band at halftime in a Rock Band-style minigame. It’s such a niche game, with such a niche audience. Who probably won’t even like the game because it doesn’t play well at all.

Sneak King: C’mon, we all know this one. Premium, refined jank.

Fight Club: A fighting game based on the movie based on the book, where you can play as Fred Durst from Limp Bizkit and also Abraham Lincoln should you so desire.

MTV’s Pimp My Ride: PBG fans out there, time to represent. Basically just a minigame collection with some driving between. It did, however, teach me how to Ghost Ride the Whip, for which I am eternally grateful.
