Crysis
Everyone either shitposts console threads with it or are jelly cause they could't run it on their old cards.

Gameplay wise, it is fantastic and unique and just full of neat technology! like damagable buildings and trees you can cut down. It's a playground and you're the predator.

I never could get into Shadow Warrior. I got the Redux version in a pack together with DN3DME on a sale, but only played it for about 2 hours. Enemies just do too much damage. Even on the first level you can pretty much get one-shotted as you step out on the platform. It's not a bad or boring game, but it feels almost trial-and-error as you get randomly gibbed, reload, and go again. Am I just playing it wrong?

I got Dark Forces 1 and 2 in the Star Wars bundle, and fucking loved them both. The weapons in the first are just great fun to use, and while some levels are a bit awkward, some are surprisingly impressive. The city level actually felt like a (albeit small) city that had just been attacked, and Jabba the Hutt's ship especially struck me as unique, interesting level to explore and fight in. 2 felt a bit like a drop down for me. But I still remember the section where you're climbing around under a bridge (or some other structure) over a ravine. Impressed me more than any set-piece I've seen in modern games, because it was just a part of the terrain you had to navigate, and it got pretty scary looking down, as opposed to some dramatic shot or cutscene bullshit that takes you completely out of the action.

In Shadow Warrior you need to act fast and adapt to the situation, know your weapons and use every one of them to your advantage. It may seem like a trial and error at first because it plays very differently from all the other build engine games. Lo Wang is more fragile but has a lot more powerful firepower at his disposal.

Try to play more cautiously and be aware of your surroundings. Those enemies are hard to spot, but they're not entirely invisible and you can also use night vision googles to see them. I'd often enter a room and dash out if I noticed there's an invisible, red or grey pants enemy, throw a gas bomb or switch to a grenade launcher or sticky bombs and blow the entire room away until no one was left alive. I remember being low on health most of the time and using all the items I could find to my advantage which made the gameplay involving and all the health pickups much more rewarding.

I'd certainly be skeptical about a new Hexen. I'm not a fan of such a heavy focus on puzzles in those games, but I'm sure they'd be either removed or we'd see something along the lines of Bioshock Infinite's "wait a minute, that card" approach if they decided to make a new game today.
