A heavily-modified World of Warcraft 3.3.5 private server which removes the concept of classes, allowing the player to pick-and-choose abilities to create their own unique character. Another server has a random selection-and-choice concept which is very fun.

Has various challenge modes and the ability to rework a character back to level one for a reward.

While lacking some bits and pieces of convenience, it’s really quite good. Has some expensive pay-to-win. It’s ultimately not good because it has bonus experience available to all the players so there’s no actual authentic world, it’s just a bunch of overpowered characters smashing through everything; fail. Or play it single-player if you’d like..

I have nothing but positive things to say about this game. Except for the negative things.

I haven’t done a proper review, and might bother some time later.

A MOBA which also has good bots.

Like all the other “safe” games Blizzard has created, Heroes of the Storm is an accessible MOBA (Multiplayer online battle arena) game. It’s pretty, plays well, and os reasonably fun. It has excellent bots to beat up for a chill game. Voice support makes it great.

I play a bunch of it, and like it. I don’t PvP. The versus AI started out being really boring but improved a lot over time.

  • aka HOTS
  • abandoned – It’s officially on life support
  • Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

An action/adventure type game, with an expansive world to explore, a huge set of skills, a lot of things to do .. and is just generally fun.

Beautiful and artistic. Very forgiving gameplay. A very linear plot. Has some unfortunate mini-games that break the general style and fun.

  • Properly titled Ōkami
  • Japanese: 大神 (literally “great god”)
  • aka Ohkami (Oh Ka Mi)
