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..

A somewhat open world semi-rpg action adventure game.

I can see the appeal from back in the day, but it's pretty awkward now. Figuring out a fuckload of mods is mandatory, and even though that community has been going very very strong for a long time it's fucking hard to do so.

A pretty basic tower defence game, with the twist that enemies reach your core and carry off power thingies. I think I remember a Flash game like this.

It's kinda neat, but reminiscent of old DOS games; not good enough.

A simple semi-roguelike tactics-esque game.

Lots of fun, albeit somewhat slow.

A pinball game which is absolutely nothing compared to Epic Pinball - (1993 game).

Wow the graphics are bad and the controls are bad.

An awkward early-access survival game which features wandering around, being killed by boars and trees, and attempting to build structures.

I might have been able to deal with boring and ugly, but the interface is shit; pass. Maybe when this is released I'll care again.

A 4x game.

Recommended, but I don't like it; I'm just not into this any more.
