1 month agoI wonder if it could still be the same game. Let’s actually use the spoiler tag for talking about an actual spoiler:
(There was a spoiler here, but I removed it. You don’t need to know anything precise about the game’s ending.)

You wouldn’t know the name of the Series60 game where you would turn into a cockroach and try to find out what the hell happened to your wife and kids? I played through the whole very unsettling game and fell in love with the story. And then I forgot what the heck the game was called :/
Hah, I hadn’t even remembered the self-created obstacle I have, that I’m trying to stop buying anything from the US-based Steam and buy all new games from (Polish?) GOG instead.
And Forza Horizon is not available there.
But, I’ll mention here under this post that my brother gave me a good recommendation: The Flatout series. Flatout 2 is available on GOG, and looks like something I’ll surely be playing a salary day or two! I already tried Flatout 4, (or: “Fl4tout” 🤣), which ran as a very beatiful slideshow on my computer. Flatout 2 might be what I’m looking for.
Oh, and I do need to give props to Screamer 2, another game I used to play as a child! It has very similar track scenery design to NFS II, although I do like that of NFS II better. It has secret passages, after all! What is a realistic racing game with 100% real cars if it has not shortcuts, enabling you to comfortably use your McLaren F1 car to caress sand roads going through woods?
I think the game style I am after should probably be called kitsch racing game.
The new ones are extremely different in level design. They are just cities where you drive around.
What I like is when a racing game is built in a way that the scenery around is placed so that it conveys a specific atmosphere, even if the resulting composition doesn’t really make much sense. You cannot do that if you also want to give a sandbox atmosphere of “drive freely wherever you will”. As the races force you to drive along specific ways all the same, I feel that the player loses more than gains in that kind of “freedom”. A “roam freely in the city” kind of game has more realism, but less fun.
Made soggy they are pure sadness.
You need to have very precisely the least possible amount of water that still enables all the flour to become a (very very firm) dough.
And then you need to hold the dough in one hand and pummel it with your other hand’s fist while talking with your friends or whatever.
These done properly, and your vareniks will not ve soggy!
And then, of course, don’t overboil them!
Vareniki, absolutely!
You only need to add salt and water to these ingredient and you’ve got tastiness!
Of course it gets better with potatoes, onion, and maybe mushrooms?
Yeah, didn’t recognize it for first, but now I am sure. Thanks!
I’ve been trying to find this game for the last two decades, because it’s the best game I’ve ever played in its genre! :)
You’re awesome!
