Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Review
Time to dive into Ys IX: Monstrum Nox, which was developed by Nihon Falcom and published by NIS America and released on PC on 6 July 2021. Are you guys ready for this one? After the amazing experience I had with Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA (which I also reviewed right here: LINK), my expectations were really high this time!Once again, we’re back with Adol Christin, the red-haired adventurer. This time, he arrives in the city of Balduq… and gets arrested right away. Not a great start, huh? But quite interesting, at least for me...But things became even more crazy, a mysterious woman named Aprilis gives him
Bendy: Lone Wolf Review
From the delightful minds at Joey Drew Studios comes yet another title following up the Bendy and the Inky Machine IP. In an interesting departure from what most come to expect (a first person adventure they have become known for), Bendy: Lone Wolf follows Boris and his daily grind. And make no mistake: "Every Day is a Challenge". In a Top-Down Rougelike Hack-and-Slash, the formula is something that may cater to a different audience that the original IP. I was more than eager to step into Boris' shoes while he roamed the studio, so I dove in head-first.Keep your eyes out
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana
Do you like anime? RPGs? Actually, it doesn't matter, you can still love the game even if you're not an anime fan. So here we are, it's time for a JRPG! Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana is not a new game, it was developed by Nihon Falcom and published by NIS America, Inc., and it was released on April 16, 2018.The story starts with Adol Christin, a red-haired adventurer who finds himself shipwrecked on a mysterious island called the Isle of Seiren. He’s not alone, they are other survivors from the ship around the island, and together they try to build
The RPG Review
Eager to try my hand at something outside of my usual realm, I caught wind of what is self-described as "Minimalistic Skyrim + West of Loathing + Supraland". Toss all that in a pickle jar, shake it up, and you're left with The RPG: A game that takes ...well. Nothing all too seriously. Developed by Dionysus Acroreites, this looks to be the first title they've put out. And honestly, a fairly entertaining one, at that! With a bright and colorful pallete, as well as a very cartoonish visual style, its a unique and memorable (though somewhat short) game- though that isn't
Hell Clock Review
HellClock is a gorgeous dark fantasy retelling of the late 19th century War of Canudos brought to life by Brazillian dev team Rogue Snail. Dive into the depths of Purgatory, and take a glimpse into the demons of Brazil's Past, Present, and Future. Race against the clock, see how deep you can go, and don't worry if time runs out. You'll just keep coming back in usual roguelike fashion. Showcasing fantastic music and absolutely stunning visual style, let's take a closer look at what has quickly become one of my favourite games of the year.A very minimal, sleek and clean UI

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 -
