If you're wondering whether BeamNG.drive is worth it — let me just say this: I’ve played it with a keyboard, a gamepad, and a steering wheel… and managed to crash spectacularly with all of them. 10/10 consistency.

This isn't just a car game. It's a metal ballet of destruction. You don’t just hit a tree — you experience every crumple, every twisted axle, every bumper doing its final swan song as it cartwheels into the stratosphere. I had the time of my life just driving off cliffs to see which part of the car said "nope" first.

And when you do decide to take it seriously, the handling is surprisingly solid. It’s a perfect blend of realism and fun — not quite a sim, not quite an arcade racer, but a beautiful simcade chimera that lets you go from high-speed highway cruising to launching a bus into a house without switching games.

One of the best car-racing simcades out there, hands (or wheels) down. Whether you're tuning suspension or just trying to see how many pieces your car can turn into — BeamNG delivers.

Buy it. Then break things. Repeatedly. For science.

I've been playing Counter-Strike since version 1.3—back when hostage rescue maps were cool, sprays were sacred, and voice chat was just yelling into a dusty headset. I've played every installment since then, from 1.6 and Source to Global Offensive... and now CS2. And let me tell you:

It still feels like home.
Just, you know… a much fancier, shinier, smoke-grenade-simulating home.

🎯 What hits hard:

Gunplay is still tight, crisp, and unforgiving—in the best way possible.

The new smoke physics are straight-up witchcraft. I threw a smoke and a bullet hole cleared it like a window cleaner.

Graphics got a much-needed facelift, but the soul of CS is alive and fragging.

Movement feels smoother than ever—bunny hopping into 2025 like it’s 2003.

Whether you’re clutching in a 1v4 or flashbanging your teammates purely by “accident,” CS2 somehow manages to bring back the nostalgia and push the series forward.

Pros:
✅ Classic CS feel with modern upgrades
✅ Clean new UI, improved matchmaking
✅ You can still buy a Nova and feel like a legend (or a lunatic)
✅ Decades later, still the best way to lose friends and rank

Cons:
❌ Getting outplayed by teenagers who weren’t even born when CS 1.3 came out
❌ Ranked still makes me question every life choice

If you’ve ever defused a bomb with 0.2 seconds left, hit a perfect flick shot, or screamed “LONG A!!” at 2 a.m., Counter-Strike 2 is everything you’ve loved—and feared—about the franchise, polished and evolved.

💣 10/10 – Two decades in, and I still hear that defusal beep in my sleep.

If you've ever wanted to sit around a sketchy tavern table, accuse your friends of betrayal, and lie so convincingly that even you start to believe it... welcome to Liars Bar.

It’s like Werewolf and Among Us had a chaotic, inebriated love child in a tavern full of shady characters. And somehow, it’s even more fun with complete strangers than it is with your most untrustworthy friends.

💬 The magic? The social chaos.

Played a round where my friend pretended to be the bartender and accidentally outed himself 20 seconds in. We still lost because I couldn’t stop laughing.

Jumped into a random lobby and got gaslit into voting myself out by someone named “DrunkSteve420.” No regrets.

That one time we all unanimously voted to eject the only honest player... and cheered about it.

Pros:
✅ Quick, hilarious rounds that spiral into pure nonsense
✅ Easy to learn, hard to trust anyone
✅ Genuinely funny both in private games and with total weirdos online
✅ Voice chat drama is top-tier entertainment

Cons:
❌ Your ability to trust humanity will decline
❌ Your friend group might hold grudges for life

If you're looking for a game that turns friends into enemies and strangers into improv comedians, Liars Bar is the perfect mix of deception, laughter, and social chaos.

🍺 9/10 – I joined for a quick round. Left three hours later questioning everyone I've ever met.

I came to Icarus to survive.
I stayed to build my dream home in the middle of a wolf-infested, storm-ridden, highly flammable death forest.

Endless Mode in Icarus is where this game truly shines for me. No more mission timers. No more “get in, get out.” Just me, my tools, and an ever-expanding base that started as a shack and is now a multi-level luxury wilderness lodge with reinforced walls, a cozy fireplace, and a balcony with a view of things that want to kill me.

You haven’t truly lived until you’ve spent three in-game days just adjusting your roof design while a lightning storm tries to murder your architectural vision.

🪓 What I love:

The building system is deep and satisfying—structural integrity matters, and so does style!

The survival mechanics add just the right amount of challenge without feeling punishing in Endless Mode.

Weather events keep you on your toes and make reinforcing your home feel earned.

Hunting, farming, decorating, defending—Endless Mode lets you do it all, at your own pace.

Pros:
✅ Building is robust, rewarding, and actually fun
✅ Gorgeous environment (even when it’s trying to kill you)
✅ Tons of tech to unlock and perfect your cabin-in-the-apocalypse
✅ Hours disappear in the best way possible

Cons:
❌ One bad storm = time to rebuild half your house
❌ Friends don’t understand why I’m so emotionally attached to a virtual chimney

If you’re like me and love getting lost in the rhythm of chopping wood, crafting furniture, and reinforcing walls while the wilderness howls outside—Icarus: Endless Mode is your cozy-cabin survival paradise.

🏡 10/10 – Came for survival, stayed to build the ultimate doomsday Airbnb.

I've always loved the idea of being a train conductor—punching tickets, managing passengers, hearing that sweet "choo choo" as I ride the rails. Beholder: Conductor lets me live that dream... with just a bit more espionage, blackmail, and morally questionable decisions than I expected. And I love it.

Set in the bleak, watchful world of Beholder, this spin-off puts you in charge of a train full of secrets, lies, and passengers who definitely aren’t just here for sightseeing. You’re not just keeping the schedule—you’re making judgment calls, digging through luggage, and deciding who gets to their destination... and who mysteriously disappears at the next stop.

🎮 Why it works:

The train setting is genius—claustrophobic, tense, and constantly moving.

You’re still stuck between your conscience and your orders, but this time, there’s a whistle involved.

Choices matter. And they get under your skin. In the best way.

Feels like Papers, Please meets Snowpiercer with a side of Beholder noir.

Pros:
✅ You’re a conductor, but with power over fate
✅ The grim storytelling Beholder is known for—on rails
✅ Every ride is a moral rollercoaster
✅ Punching tickets never felt so stressful

Cons:
❌ No “happily ever after” ticket—every decision has weight
❌ Might make you side-eye real train conductors now

If you enjoy games that make you think, feel, and occasionally sweat over whether you should let that suspicious scientist off at the next stop or not, Beholder: Conductor is a ride you don’t want to miss.

Back in the 90s, Minesweeper was the ultimate test of intelligence, patience, and whether you could left-click faster than your mistakes. It came pre-installed on every Windows machine, lurking quietly next to Solitaire, ready to ruin your day with a single misstep. And now… it’s back. But fancier.

Fine Sweeper is like someone took that dusty old relic of a game, gave it a monocle, a top hat, and taught it how to strut.

🎮 Same addicting gameplay – The core is pure Minesweeper. Numbers, bombs, logic, panic.
🧠 Now with upgrades – RPG-style progression, unlockable perks, and tools that actually help (take that, 50/50 guesses!).
🧥 Pixel-perfect presentation – Retro-style graphics with slick animations and just the right amount of nostalgia.
📀 Soundtrack goes hard – Far better than the "you exploded, silence now" treatment of the original.

There's even a story mode. A story mode, in Minesweeper. I didn’t know I needed this until I played it.

It’s like returning to your childhood home and finding out someone added central heating, a coffee bar, and a loot system.

Pros:
✅ Finally a Minesweeper that rewards you for being good at it
✅ Smart modern touches without ruining the classic feel
✅ Secretly makes you feel like a bomb defusal expert
✅ Nostalgia, but with perks!

Cons:
❌ Still can’t escape the occasional 50/50 guess
❌ No office job to pretend I’m working at while playing

If you ever lost hours to the original Minesweeper and wished it had more depth, personality, or explosions with context, Fine Sweeper delivers in spades.

💣💥 10/10 – The 90s called. They said this is way better.

Void Crew is what happens when you mix deep space exploration with the absolute chaos of trusting your friends to do literally anything right. It's like Star Trek, if the crew were all interns on their first day and one of them keeps trying to "boost shields" by hitting random buttons.

Want to fly a ship? Great! Too bad Dave forgot to put fuel in the reactor.

Want to shoot stuff? Fantastic! Except Jim rerouted power to the microwave again.

Want to relax? Hah. There are space bugs gnawing on the hull and someone’s left the airlock open.

You will laugh, you will cry, you will scream, and you will accidentally vent your entire crew into the vacuum of space while yelling “IT WAS A MISCLICK!”

Honestly, it’s the most fun I’ve had in co-op since I realized friendship is optional but yelling is mandatory.

Pros:
✅ Absolute mayhem with friends
✅ Surprisingly deep teamwork mechanics
✅ Laser pew-pew sounds go brrrr
✅ Can slap panels to fix them. Like a real engineer.

Cons:
❌ The airlock doesn’t have a safety confirmation
❌ Now my friends don’t trust me anymore
❌ I dream about circuit panels at night

Would recommend. Especially if you're tired of peaceful friendships and want to spice things up with panic, fire, and betrayal in zero gravity. 👍

Having played the Delta Force series since the days of Delta Force 2, I can confidently say that the franchise holds a special place in my gaming journey. The blend of tactical gameplay, open-world maps, and the nostalgic voxel-based terrain made the old games stand out. Now, with the latest installment, Delta Force not only pays homage to its roots but also modernizes the experience in a way that feels fresh and relevant.

As someone who's also spent countless hours in other extraction shooters like Escape from Tarkov, I can appreciate the tactical depth and tension that Delta Force brings to the table. The game does an excellent job of balancing realism with accessibility, creating a space where both hardcore fans and newcomers can thrive. The gunplay feels satisfying and precise, with a wide array of weapons that can be customized to suit various playstyles. The maps are vast and beautifully designed, offering plenty of opportunities for strategic planning and ambushes.

One of the standout features is the mission variety. From stealthy infiltration to intense firefights, Delta Force keeps the gameplay dynamic and engaging. The cooperative multiplayer mode deserves special mention, as it perfectly captures the thrill of working as a team under pressure. Communication and coordination are key, and there's an undeniable satisfaction in successfully extracting after a hard-fought mission.

Visually, the game is a treat. The environments are rich with detail, and the lighting effects add a layer of immersion that enhances the overall experience. The sound design is equally impressive, with gunfire and ambient noises that make you feel like you're in the middle of a real operation.

What truly sets Delta Force apart is its respect for the series' legacy while embracing modern gaming standards. The developers clearly understand what made the original games great and have managed to integrate those elements into a contemporary package. For long-time fans like me, it's a joy to see the franchise revitalized with such care and attention to detail.

Overall, Delta Force is a must-play for fans of tactical shooters and anyone looking for an exhilarating and rewarding experience. It’s a triumphant return for the series and a testament to the enduring appeal of thoughtful, strategic gameplay. Whether you're a veteran of the old games or new to the franchise, Delta Force is well worth your time.

A pixel-perfect and fun run & game game.
Wish there would be an upgrade system

Greatly disappointed with the additional forced change of requiring a PSN account in order to play the game.
