Euro Truck Simulator 2 simulates the experience of being a truck driver throughout central Europe. The ETS world is enormous; I have driven for over 13 hours yet I’ve still only managed to discover a fraction of the world. Because of this, there is satisfaction in exploring new roads and cities, but the real satisfaction is when you get paid in cash for successfully delivering a load. That is why ETS is a great game; it is simple yet has a economic sandbox core.
This game is so bad, that it is almost fun to play. Based of the title of this game, you would think that it would involve actual search and rescue missions. No! Literally all that you do in this game is search for items scattered about the “open world” map, which is huge! The open world makes traveling a drag. It is so boring to ride along on the ridiculous bike for minutes just to get the objective. I will touch on that a little bit later on. Basically every mechanic this game has sucks. This game sucks so bad that it is almost fun to play, because of how ridiculous it is.
Metal Gear Rising Revengeance first appeared on consoles in February of 2013, but has finally arrived for PC. It now plays in 60 FPS and 1080P, that is if your rig can handle that. Although, I do highly recommended playing this game with a controller instead of a keyboard and mouse – because the way the control mechanics work, it is difficult to play with keys. This is definitely a great game, but it does still have some of the flaws that the console versions have. With that said, it is still an amazing game to freshen things up for the PC gaming community.
Type: Rider is an education game, teaching players the history of typography. This sounds dreadful doesn’t it? Well, it’s not. Type: Rider manages to be exciting to play, but also teach players the history of typography.
The Stanley Parable started as a Half Life 2 Mod years ago, but has recently been remade into its own game. TSP is an exploration game with no action or violence whatsoever; It is driven by the narrator, and how he wants the story to go. If the player does as the narrator says, the game technically will end very shortly (took me 5 min). But that’s not what this game is. When the player “beats the game” the player hasn’t actually beat the game, because it is impossible to beat this game. TSP is called an exploration game. The player is supposed to disobey the narrator and explore the story; Find out what happened to Stanley’s co-workers, wife, and job.
