  • Prey (2006) had a mixed reputation as far as I remember, I picked up a copy in 2013. That game is wild. The shooting is fine but there are so many sections where they get creative with portals, or gravity, or changing your size, or all of the above at the same time. I mean even the fact that one of my complaints “I think the part where you fly a spaceship went on a bit long” sounds completely absurd.


  • There’s this old game called Shootmania Storm that died off super fast because it had some serious problems. The main game mode was basically a small scale battle royale with an instant-kill field that closed in on a capture point when one of the players captured it. The developers clearly intended the game to be a no-randomness purely skill-based game. The kill field’s speed was carefully set to be just slow enough that if you bee-lined straight for the center it wouldn’t catch you.

    So anyway I modded the server I hosted so that the instant-kill field’s speed was set randomly anywhere between “immediately kills anyone not on the point” and “doesn’t move at all”.
