Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream Review
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is the breakout title for Swedish developer River End Games - and they are coming out swinging. Taking players on an immersive and emotional journey in a somewhat alternate history, join Hanna in her adventures through the vibrant city of Eriksholm. While indeed vibrant with color, activity and character- it is also a city dealing with the heartpox: a devastating disease that is more often than not a death sentence for those who contract it- very few skirting by into the graces of recovery. Bringing this unique city and it's circumstances to life is no easy feat,
Last Time I Saw You Review
Simply Beautiful.Lost in the MemoryThere is a special place in my heart, for games like this.Games that speak to the soul and childhood innocence; stories that pull you back to a time of wonder, of discovery, of joy.This is an emotional experience, one best enjoyed snuggled up in a comfy blanket and dim lights.This game is so...Cozy.The aloof and warm feeling that Ghibli movies instill is wonderful, and this is a game that taps into that feeling, as well as the obvious 80s Japanese style and setting that encompasses it.For those of you who have watched My Neighbour Totoro or Ponyo,
CopyCat Review
Thunder rumbled in the distance, soft and muted. A storm was coming- but you had very little to fear.... it had been a long time. Or had it been a mere fortnight ago?Perhaps then things would have been different. You would have had a reason to cower behind the cold metal bars, smelling the fear of the other unfortunate souls left, caught, and abandoned by whatever circumstance brought them here. Here, where sorrow clung in the air. On nights such as this, the walls rumbled and the window panes shook, rattling within time-worn frames. Mewls of distress and frustration echoing the

Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery Review
Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery is both art in videogames and a videogame about art. A relaxing adventure about a young painter with the goal of achieving her masterpiece, this turns out to be an emotional ride with many layers and surprises before the unexpected conclusion. Sadly, the whole journey is too short and unless you get stuck on a particular puzzle, it’s over in a couple of hours, DLC included.The Painting of a LifetimeWhat begins as a routine day in the life of this yet unnamed aspiring artist ends up as a strange, often surreal undertaking.

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
