Guys, if you haven't already gotten Half-Life 2 before now, it's free to claim on Steam for now. I'd highly recommend snagging it!
I'd really like to see a modern 2D game that has beautiful pixel art, but is fully rotoscoped in the animations. I feel like the technology today, combined with the creative solutions of the past, would make for a "best of both worlds" scenario. :luigithink:
I had never heard of this game until I started watching Retro Bird and as part of the Genesis Steam collection that I recently picked up, I started playing it for myself. Man, it's addictive. It has the same vibe as Sonic, but with greater detail in the art and the gameplay, of course, feels more like a traditional platformer. If I feel a great sense of discovery with just ONE of these games, I genuinely can't wait to hit the rest of the collection! #SEGA #RetroGames
Is Starsiege: Tribes the greatest online shooter ever made? Yes. If you disagree, you're wrong :guilded_lul: No, really, it's an absolutely epic game. I'm pretty sure Bungie took a lot of cues from it and its sequels when making Halo, but nothing has ever come close to beating it IMO. #RetroGames #FPS #shooter
I really love how so many people hated The Phantom Menace when it came out, yet they loved this game. Personally, I love all of the Star Wars films (including the sequels, but don't chuck your controllers at me), but I will say that a huge part of my love for The Phantom Menace came from my memories of this game, as well as the TPM game itself. #StarWars #RetroGames #LGR #90s
The irony of Sega doing something stupid (delisting their Genesis & Dreamcast collections on Steam) causing me to be in more of a Sega mood again... I must admit, as much as I hate to reward bad behavior, I'm glad I finally have the Steam Genesis collection, at least. I wanted to get the Dreamcast collection as well but I had all the Dreamcast games I wanted most and I couldn't justify spending $50 when I'm saving for a Steam Deck. #SEGA #SEGAGenesis #SEGADreamcast #RetroGames #Steam image
Has anyone ever played this game? I'm told that it's basically a Slavic #NoMansSky from long before NMS was even a concept in Sean Murray's head. I have it on GOG but haven't gotten around to playing it yet, though I might considering how I've been leaning into my retro games library. #RetroGames #space #sandbox
A VERY nice collection of many classic games by one of my favorite game designers of all time (though, in fairness, later Civ games were Sid Meier in name only). I bought them all last time they ran this bundle but if you missed it that last time, here's your second chance. It's 100% worth it, especially considering the charities they're partnered with for this run. #SidMeier #Civilization #4X #RetroGames #Humble #games
I am beyond thrilled to be playing Andrew Gower's #BrighterShores. As a 20-year veteran of #RuneScape who recently quit due to various factors, it's amazing to be back in a game with similar vibes, yet an all new adventure to take! It really does have that retro vibe but benefits from the decades of experience that the Gower brothers have. If you like MMOs and #RetroGames, definitely consider trying it! No microtransactions, seemingly no politics, just an old school multiplayer adventure!
Absolutely fascinating. I think a huge part of what makes retro games so intriguing is the way that developers were forced to be creative to get around technological limitations.
