Manairons Review
Manairons is a game that absolutely piqued my interest solely off the visual whimsy and intrigue it seemed to offer at first glace. A gorgeous art-style not visited as often as I'd like, the announcement trailer gave me a little tug. I've always been a sucker for dark whimsy, and this game looked like it might just fit that bill. While visuals can't provide a full carry on titles, the concept itself looked interesting and unique. That uniqueness, really starts from the developmental level.Developed by both 3Cat and Jandusoft. Of note, Jandusoft is a developer/publisher out of Barcelona, Spain that seems
The Inquisitor Review
The Inquisitor is a unique take on the lore of Jesus and may not be appreciated by all, nor may my commentary. For this reason, I would caution before reading the following review. Also note that minor spoilers are included. Game Title: The InquisitorDeveloper: The Dust S.A.Publisher: Kalypso MediaRelease date: February 8, 2024OS: WindowsPlatform: SteamPrice: $39.99 What Is It The Inquisitor is a story-driven, action-adventure fantasy that takes place 1500 years after the crucifixion of Christ, but twists the lore into “What if Jesus did not die on the cross and instead sought vengeance on the disbelievers.” You play as Mordimer Madderdin, who is part of
The 7th Guest VR Review
As a child, I had a small obsession with The 7th Guest. I played through the game multiple times, working out what puzzles I could on my own and getting hints or using the official strategy guide to overcome any challenges that were just a bit too much for a nine-year-old to handle. I had the intro scene and a creepy in-game poem memorized by heart. Also, I read the heck out of that guide book—it included the original script, which was a bit different to the one that made it in the game and it really improved the lore having
The Outer Worlds 2 Review
This is not the usual type of game review I do, since I largely focus on indie games, so this review will be somewhat different and more comprehensive (aka long) than typical. There is a lot of game and a lot to discuss and it deserves a lot of attention.The Outer Worlds 2 was developed by Obsidian Entertainment, who brought you not only the first in this series, but also Fallout: New Vegas, the Pillars of Eternity series (one of my favorites), Knights of the Old Republic 2 (another favorite), Pentiment, South Park: Stick of Truth, Neverwinter Nights 2 (another favorite),
Spiritfarer: Farewell Edition Review
Death is something that, often, we try to avoid in every way, shape, and form. It's discomfort; cold and cruel. It often greets us when we least expect it with open arms, touching those around us suddenly, ruthlessly, without mercy- and leaves a trail of Emptiness and Despair in it's wake. Often we associate thoughts of Death as something quick, cold and calculating. However, despite SpiritFarer: Farewell Edition being almost entirely about Death, and many of the emotions it entails, it is really none of the afore mentioned things. While it may be wrapped in a beautifully gorgeous hand drawn facade,

I started the original one a while ago and only a bit but never had a chance to finish. Shame, remastered is Epic exclusive on PC. Thanks for the review and reminding me my backlog :)

What a classic!
The fact I discovered in the public library of my city and rented the game when I was little. Because I didn't had internet and the rental was a couple days, I made an ISO file with Nero Burner to play the game when I pleased.
I was also lucky that I bought games in computer magazines(ComputerHoyJuegos) and Quiosks. Like having: Commandos 2, PcFútbol2001, Grouch(Rocko's Quest), S.W.A.T 3/4, Patrician III, Imperium III(Viriathus campaign being hard AF), Ground Control, NYR - New York Race, Age of Empires I & II + expansions + Mythology(+Titans), etc...
I was the lucky few that managed to buy this game before being delisted on Steam for a few €uros.
BTW if you are looking for "dead games" or want to contribute on a wiki useful for the consumers of the future, the Stop Killing Games community made a wiki with all the games that are being delisted, unplayable or in risk on dying soon:

It was still in the back of my mind, too, right up until I spied this upcoming article (I am SO behind in so much I've been wanting to write ).
But I don't think I could have done a better job - I'd already had my amazing experience with Prey well over a decade before and, though I probably could have done it some amount of justice then, I think I'd be too far distanced from it now.
I guess it worked out for the best though, since now we have this tribute - and more to look forward to!
I'm definitely glad you've listed some options for people who want to play.
I have a few other games I still think about and wish I could replay (from that awkward era of Windows 95).
I keep thinking I should just put together a dedicated machine with either Windows 95 or 98 so I can immerse myself in nostalgia, but I keep getting distracted with other things.

I did wonder if you'd avoid mentioning that part, but to be honest, that's not even the main twist, and I think a story in which Tommy actually manages to defeat the aliens and save everyone just sounds generic and would put people off, so I feel you struck a good balance with what you shared and what you left for people to experience themselves.

I NEARLY added Deadpool as my 10th suggestion, but then my sick mind thought of Ride to Hell, and I couldn't stop myself!
That and it's kind of a mainstream delisted game that has come back multiple times - still worthy of an article one day though I feel.July 06, 2026 -

I couldn't pick a better home to have it, so thank YOU for the opportunity. I absolutely couldn't think of a better title to kick it off with, and it was an absolute blast the whole way through.
There was just SO much to cover here, and while I know some might say that mentioning Enisis death was a spoiler, I felt it was enough of a "lead up to a core mechanic" that I felt ok mentioning it. But by the time I got to the end of the game, I felt I needed to really just set the stage and keep the rest under wraps, because I absolutely had no clue what to expect. I wanted to be sure that anyone else who finds a way to play this (Thanks for mentioning some additional ways!) would have the same first-time experience. Because honestly, and I think you might agree: you only get it once. And I can't say I've ever had a game absolutely put me out to dry like this one did, in SO many ways. I didn't want to ruin it for ANYONE.
Thank you for giving us a place to make ideas like this a reality.July 06, 2026 -

I absolutely do, and you have a few of them mentioned here!
Deadpool didn't make the list!?
A few of these I didn't have on my list, but I'll put them down as well!
I have another mini series brewing as well (PSX Grindhouse Horror) - so I'm trying to decide if I alternate, or I do a few back and forth.July 06, 2026 -

Thank you so much for your insight, and allowing me to harken back to your article!
I can't thank you enough! It was a great help to have another set of eyes and input!July 06, 2026
