Monster Sanctuary Review
Developed by Moi Rai Games and published by Team 17 in December 2020, Monster Sanctuary is a creature collector 2D platformer RPG that a friend of mine was so enthusiastic upon playing that he bought a copy for all of his favorite people for Christmas in 2021 - rather rare for a single player game. As maybe a bit less of an enthusiast, it took me a few years to get started on it enough to really get into it, but once I did, I could certainly see the appeal. The game has a lot of complexity in combat and people
Split Fiction Review
As a fan of two-player co-op games, I was very excited to see Hazelight Studios putting out their third game, Split Fiction, in the spring of last year. As a gamer severely lacking a budget for games, I immediately decided to wait a year or two for a good sale. I suppose the asking price wasn't too awful, especially for a high-quality game with strong voice acting, excellent sound, amazing graphics with interesting world design, and some rather unique gameplay elements thrown in here and there. And, just like with A Way Out and It Takes Two, the game supports local

This time on Drarry reviews a game, Crimson Desert is featured. Join me for an honest take on this gaming juggernaut, or at least my honest take on this ambitious and ginormous open-world action-adventure by Pearl Abyss.GameTitle: Crimson DesertDeveloperand Developer: Pearl AbyssReleasedate: March 19, 2026OS: Windows 10 and 11Platform: Steam*Price: $69.99 – Basic Edition; $79.99 – Deluxe EditionPlease note that this review will have very minor spoilers.What Is It Crimson Desert is a lofty and extensive open-world action-adventure game that, not unexpectedly, became a huge hit almost immediately. The narrative follows Kliff, a Greymane who sets out to rebuild his faction and save the world (isn't that
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

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 -
