What decent combat games are there on the PC? I loved the hell out of Ninja Gaiden Black years ago, and after The Witcher 2 and Dark Souls I've got the bug for something that'll kick my arse up and down the hall. It's just all the big names (DMC, Bayonetta) are console exclusives.

Three is playable but takes a lot of tweaking. Four is Unreal engine iirc, explaining why the port turned out so good. I think the upcoming reboot is being released on PC simultaneously. From what I've heard it managed to get the gameplay side right.

I'm wondering if the Heroes Of Might And Magic series is something for me. Examples of TBS games I like are King's Bounty, Total War series, many 4x games, old x-com games, etc. I've heard HoMM is mostly like King's Bounty, so it should be up my alley. So, is the HoMM series worth looking into? And which games of the HoMM series would you recommend?

I've been on an isolated exploration kick recently and played through Tomb Raider Anniversary + Underworld (Legends barely has any tombs in it!), Super Metroid and Prime 1 & 2. Any other similar recommendations? Some kind of space age Tomb Raider, basically. I bet there's some indie games out there I'm not aware of.

Kalenden posted:So, is the HoMM series worth looking into? And which games of the HoMM series would you recommend? I haven't played five and I thought four wasn't too great, but the first three games of HoMM are amazing. You can get all three on GoG I believe, and with expansions. Three is probably the most developed of the series and if you only get one title get that one, but the first and second ones have a lot of character as well. Great gameplay, really nice art and beautiful music.

If I understand right you're looking for a sci-fi action-adventure where you're mostly on your own? I can only recommend the System Shock series which are two of the greatest games. Bioshock would work as well if you want something newer although I don't have much experience with those. More along the lines of Super Metroid you could try Aquaria or an old game called Flashback and its sequel Fade to Black if you can find it.

Since they're super cheap now it probably doesn't matter but I'd say just get 3... 4 is terrible and though I haven't heard anything about how bad 5 is, I haven't heard anything about it being great either. Heroes 3 is basically an excellent upgrade of everything that was great in 1 and 2 with more great bundled in. If you love the game a whole heap I guess you could play 2 for the campaign (which is great!) or 1 for I dunno... kicks?

Dominic posts the links periodically in the Steam thread (pretty much any time someone asks about HOMM  ) but this was the first hit on Google and I think it's the right one:http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-611.html There's also an improved AI pack that's usually recommended in the same breath.

HoMM 5 is pretty great, and in some ways I like it better than 3, there are some pretty interesting new mechanics like skill trees, unique abilities for each race, and branching unit upgrades. HoMM 6 was terrible the last time I played it, don't know if they patched it at all.

Are there any PC puzzle/adventure games out there like The Room on iOS? What I'm looking for is that pure mechanical type of puzzle, the closest I can think of is Myst 3: Exile, which was (apparently) a big change from the other Myst games (and probably the only one I like), the Amateria age in particular having a multitude of small mechanical puzzles that culminate into one big one. No idea if you understand what I'm talking about  Here are examples of both games to get a better idea (puzzle solving spoiler alert!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHb9wLdxsrU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTAqEY7uzTM

The world is interesting and the combat satisfying, although I don't know how they hold up to Demon's/Dark Souls as I could never get into those. No idea about Arcania.

Arcania is horrible poo poo. Imagine if Fable were really boring and weirdly generic. It's kind of an embarrassment that the publisher slapped the Gothic name on there. Play Risen instead.

Best I can say about Arcania is "it's an RPG". At its best it's okay but nothing really stands out that would warrant shutting off an RPG like Risen, an earlier game in the Gothic series, Witcher II, or even a game like Divinity II or Two Worlds II.

I recommend the Legacy of Kain series. The combat isn't as advanced as Dark Souls (but hey, it's like ten years older) but it's visceral and fun. The lore and voice acting is top notch, too. There's a bit of backtracking, especially in later games, but they are worth it. Most of the time, you can't kill enemies unless you impale them, burn them or dissolve them (in the case of Vampires). You gotta take weapons from the scenery to do so, at least for the early game. Also, removing the weapon from an impaled body, or eating too many souls in the spirit plane, will revive enemies. It was incredible for it's time, and it's still great.

Other than that, EVE Online is more RPG-ish, and easily has the closest design philosophy to oldschool UO: in EVE, you can grief people and cause misery and (permanent) damage like in no other MMO.

Try the first one (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver) - is the best point of entry to the series, and it has less backtracking than 2. Another interesting thing: You can't die in-game - you automatically go into the inmaterial phase. Yeah, it really sounds like an older Dark Souls.

Anyone know of any co-op browser games or light downloads that my long-distance boyfriend and I can play together? A) we will both be on MacBook Pros with no mice b) he is not a heavy gamer, so no serious shooters or twitchy poo poo and please don't say minecraft c) free is a good thing, cheap is fine. We've been playing a lot of Facebook Scrabble and we need something new. Thanks!

Blood Omen 2 however is available on GOG. The original isn't available anywhere, I think. I was hoping it would be released on GOG for easy compatibility with newer operating systems, but from what I've read, getting it to work isn't the problem. Also, the chronological order of the games is a bit weird. Blood Omen 2 is a sequel to the original and happens prior to the other games, but it is best played after Soul Reaver 2 as it is responsible for the event that makes Blood Omen 2's story possible.

Blood Omen 2 is the worst in the series and has a different director and general aesthetic, feel free to skip it and just play Soul Reaver 1, 2 and Defiance which all tie in together nicely.
