I very much recommend the two previous games by Richardson:

Four Last Things

The Procession to Calvary

Some good old Doom 1.

I played through 1 and 2 about two years ago, but I wanted to try the recent rerelease. Like last time, I play on Ultra Violence. This time with Pistol Start though, as I recently learned that the levels were balanced around that. It is challenging, but feels so right. The beginning of a level often plays like a little puzzle. Who to kill in what order to get to a decent weapon, before your 50 pistol shots run out. Can’t wait to play the new semi-official expansion they added with the rerelease.

Ordered that book two days ago. So excited for it and the upcoming remaster of BS1.

You should really give the Wolfenstein games a try if you already own them. After about an hour or two you will know if the game is for you. Start with New Order.

There is no melee weapon in Prey, except the wrench you start with. It is a Sci-Fi game, set on a space station. The focus is on finding your own solutions to problems by using different skills you unlock. Strength, hacking, stealth and so on. It is an immersive sim, but you can play it like a shooter too. It demands some attention though, or you will not know what to do next.

Turbo Overkill has multiple levels you complete one after another. It is a classic FPS game with a campaign. The big fights happen in large arenas though. The game is very fast and you have to use a lot of different movement abilities to survive on harder difficulties.

Can’t decide.

“Wolfenstein: The New Order” for the setting and production value.

“Prey” (2017) for the fantastic gameplay and atmosphere.

“Turbo Overkill” for the movement and variety.

That would be Ultima Online, released in 1997.

I can tolerate the graphics, but the controls are really something else. Played it for 3 hours and had the urge to play some more, but never did.

Renames it “Player Last Games”.
