Woohoo I did the Dark Knight Leveling System in one playthrough of the normal story mode of Arkham Origins. Got pretty frustrating towards the end, but I managed to find all the Anarky tags without internet help too.

Cannon Fodder. Old and punishing. Apparently the DOS version is extra difficult, but one guy running makes it easy. Home 226:5 Away

I've been replaying one of my favorites, Master of Orion. I love that game.

That brings memories. I used to play Cannon Fodder on Amiga 500 (it had sang theme song!) and it's my favorite game from that time.

I've been waiting for that, haven't wanted to spoil anything by playing it before it's completely ready though.

Sounds like Below Zero isn't going to have VR support, which is a pity because it was very effective on the original (almost too effective - meeting a Reaper Leviathan in VR is not at all fun!)

Ditto, great game although I never managed to complete it. Played it on the Archimedes.

The first one from 93. Typically my feeling has been that old strategy games might not hold up as well as some other genres, but I came across it on GOG about 20 years after release and was really impressed by how cohesive and well-balanced it was. Straightforward, fairly simple gameplay, but with a good amount of depth and complexity underneath. You have total control, but random elements like your starting position, your faction, the stance of the ai around you, random events, etc., can unexpectedly make the game really easy or hard without feeling too unfair.

I haven't really tried MoO2 despite it's being the most acclaimed game in the series, so I'm looking forward to trying it after I'm done with MoO1.
Also, playing Subnautica Below Zero.
Another one I should pick up again.

Between everything else I have been learning and playing some Under Night In-Birth with newest version being out. I have had fun with this anime fighting game with whip user Phonon being my favorite character to play as.

Borderlands 3 after it finished getting properly beta-tested on Epic and arrived to us on Steam at 50% discount. So far - great game. Love the improvements and guns running around on tiny legs.
