The Long Dark Review
No zombies, no mutants, no monsters. In this survival game, made by Hinterland Studio Inc., your worst enemies are mind-numbing cold, bone-chilling winds, and your empty stomach.When Nature Fights BackThe game features two main modes: Survival and Wintermute story mode. Both modes let you roam a vast wilderness of fictional Great Bear Island which is based on territories of Northern Canada. Great Bear used to be full of natural resources and people were quick to exploit them, building mines, logging camps, and hydroelectric dam. But on this island, nature itself fights back. Long before our character even gets to the island,
Mirror Forge Review
Indie horror games can be a fickle bunch, with potential to be a remarkable journey but quite often dragged down by low budgets and lack of polishing. Mirror Forge has an interesting story and the trip comes with intriguing moments, but the seams and cracks are sometimes too visible to ignore. Silent Hill fans may shed a tear or two, Stranger Things aficionados will come up with comparisons to the upside down world, but may also shake their heads in disbelief at some of the choices in display.Multiverse of MadnessDescribed as a first-person psychological survival horror game, Mirror Forge follows the
The Backrooms: Survival Review
Games based on creepypastas are a dime a dozen, most of them low-effort and low-budget attempts at capturing a fanbase often obsessed with scary stories. The Backrooms: Survival entirely fits the bill, being inspired by The Backrooms, a story about a mysterious place of endless mazes where you end up trapped and chased by supernatural entities. Sharing similar themes with creepypastas such as Slenderman, where escaping is a constant, The Backrooms: Survival is the perfect game for the streamer and the screamer generation, but a weak shot at a clever and engaging horror experience.Dead SpaceYour goal in The Backrooms: Survival is

From what I've read, it doesn't sound like it's a hugely different experience from the original anyhow.
I mainly specified because that's the version I played.
You could probably aim for one episode at a time to keep things fresh in between other gaming goals and also as a way not to torture yourself by tackling all of Nightmare mode at once.That's one reason I was happy to have played on Luna - no achievements! So I don't feel compelled to go back and do that... I just glance at it occasionally as I'm scrolling... Should I? Eh... It's okay.
It does sound like a fun challenge, but I have other things to play. Like the sequel.August 05, 2026 -

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 -
Vexwryn
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
