A great MMORPG with spectacular mechanics but no endgame.
I had a lot of fun with it way back when, but my most recent visit had me wandering around in circles for an inexcusable length of time. An utter failure. Still highly recommended.

This “game” is a piece of shit. Avoid it unless you’re a big fan of Borderlands. Even then, you should probably avoid it.

If you have Borderlands 2, stick with it until you’ve played through it, through its true vault hunter mode and through every. single. DLC. There are a lot.
Then buy this, but only if you’re a serious fan of Borderlands 2.
If you are new to the series and new to Borderlands 2, go buy and play Borderlands 2! It’s great. This is just more of that, but with added obnoxiousness.
Properly titled Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

I can’t describe it without spoiling it’s best part.
I happen to like boring 8-bit games, so the initial moments of this game are just fine for me. I stuck it out, because I knew a little bit about what was to come. Even though I saw it coming, I was really moved by the introduction to “the game proper”. Holy shit.
Great game, I think.. but I just don’t get it. Treasure maps make no sense. Secrets are nigh impossible. The world map is hopeless. I gave it a good shot, based on old hype, but no joy.

A Connect Four-like game, with some goofyness akin to the various Tetris remakes.
Boring as sin. The free flash game from a decade ago is the exact same thing.

A terrible FPS semi-roguelike game.
Procedurally-generated levels. Extraordinarily unfairly unnecessarily hard. Not fun at all.
I ended up getting a refund.

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.
Full ultrawide support, even in windowed fullscreen. It’s a big difference.

A top-down hack-and-slash game based on the Gauntlet franchise but with different controls, abilities and general gameplay.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but turned out to be a pretty shitty experience. Not recommended.
TODO – make a proper page

Oh hell, it opens with an unskippable playable cutscene. Intolerable.

I’ve played this exact same thing as a free flash game. Except the controls were a hell of a lot better with that one.
