It's a crying shame that more people haven't talked about Darkwood on here.
Ah yeah, Darkwood does look great. That and Heat Signature are the two Steam indie titles I'm sorry I didn't get around to this year. I'll probably pick up one of them in the Xmas sale.

I found Heat Signature rather meh.

I'm gonna change the title here to Best Gaming Achievement of 2017
Finally completing System Shock 1 + 2.

System Shock 2 is so good. Last time NewDark was updated I patched it up then ran it to test my settings, and 4 hours later I forgot what I was doing.

Agreed, Darkwood is a great game that is highly underrated. I can't recommend that game enough. Between Darkwood, Resident Evil 7, Prey, and The Evil Within 2 I feel like 2017 was an excellent year for horror games.

Hey don't leave Rain World off that list. Rain World is such an unfriendly place it gave me nightmare sadness.
RENZ, seriously, you gotta play Rain World. You GOTTA. It's world reminds me of Dark Souls. The same nervous exploration of a dangerous world, hoping you'll find the next save spot before you die. And since the game doesn't help you at all it's entirely possible you'll spend all that time going in the wrong direction anyway. You get lost in the Garbage Wastes, and when the relentless birds and snakes of the surface become overwhelming you take refuge underground. A moment of peace at last, you think, but you don't know shit. It is then that you see it. Something you wish you could
un-see is crawling up from the bottom of the screen, and you turn the game off. Well worth playing! :thumb:

Besides Prey and Dishonored: Death of the Outsider, Tank Warfare: Tunisia 1943 is an easy favourite.

It's pretty much the same as the other Graviteam Tactics games. Large scale, realism focussed RTS with a dynamic campaign. It's the opposite of a click-fest because you're giving large, sweeping orders to whole platoons at a time. Bliss IMO.

Oh man, I'd forgotten about Styx 2. Another one I gotta add to the "Still to play" pile.
Renault on 18/12/2017 at 20:16
Yes, been playing a lot recently, it's not for everyone but it's really good if you liked the first one. Some hate the Styx character, but I think he's awesome.
