Need for Speed is still better than Heat and Payback together. It was a really good decision to finally get back into the underground scene. You can mess around with the cops, tune your car and spend many hours improving the appearance of your car. Unfortunately the collision isn't good and the cutscenes aren't my thing either.

Hashtag Underground Drift Riot...
(I still get nightmares about it)

RetroArch is a great addition for restoring old games to their former glory. Unfortunately, the Steam version is missing important cores. This problem can be easily fixed. For example, download RetroArch via Flatpak on Linux, update all cores, download the cores you need and don't forget the info files and additional files for the Cores. As next change in the Steam version the folder locations from Cores and Info files and done. Full working RetroArch with all cores as Steam version.
Inside the retroarch.cfg file you can change network_on_demand_thumnails from false to true and you have covers too (the Steam version) .

A really bad remastered edition of GTA 3. The performance is often pretty bad. I don't know what Rockstar Games smoking but they should reduce it. Better play the good old GTA 3. It runs 1000 times better than this software.

What would happened if Monolith were still there? A Shadow of the Light King? The second part is simply even bigger than its predecessor in every way. Everything is bigger and better. Thankfully, I didn't experience the loot boxes at the beginning. On a handheld, it runs at 800p with high graphics settings with smooth 50FPS and still looks really good. It's a real shame there won't be a third part. Or maybe there will be someday.

Darkwood has become one of my favorite horror games. It doesn't look very good and the top down view takes some time but the atmosphere and the sounds will make you need a flashlight for your next evening toilet visit. You hear people screaming, knocking on your door. You hear someone sneaking outside your shelter. Will you survive and escape the forest?

For the devs, please finally make a second part.

Great game and runs without any issues on a handheld device. Fells like I'm playing a Assassin's Creed game in a Lord of the Rings universe. It's a shame that there will probably never be a third part. Thanks WB. Enough sarcasm, really good game with great mechanics.

I know this game from the good old Wii U times and I love it. Runs really good on any handheld PC. It comes from a time when Ubisoft was not greedy. It's a shame there aren't more single player games like this. But 20$ it's a little bit too much. Wait for a sale.

I remember Enlisted from when it had this campaign mode. Thank God this mode was abolished and the game is like Warthunder with research. Each nation has its own research tree and you can now play on multiple maps without changing the campaign. But you will never see Berlin with Japan.
Enlisted plays like a Battlefield and Enemy Territory hybrid.
The graphics are OK, sounds and gore could be better. The map size could also be a bit bigger. In Enlisted you can enter almost every building in city maps, well done.
Unfortunately there are still bugs. FOV is still faulty and you often burn a bullet in the window frame or other objects in front of you even though you have a clear field of fire.
Unfortunately the AI ​​is very stupid (reason for thumbs down) and you should always leave it out of the fight. The game is supposed to be a squad based MMO shooter but the AI ​​can't keep up. This should be revised. Developers, take a look at Brothers in Arms, it has a clever AI. That's why I don't understand why I should spend $30 on a premium squad when they're all bullet catchers. Don't get me wrong, the game is great but not having a decent AI after 4 years is very, very bad.

Players aren't particularly clever sometimes either and that brings us to more negative points. The matchmaking. You have rounds where you absolutely dominate because the opposing team only consists of AI and sometimes you have rounds where you are the AI ​​yourself. Unfortunately, it sometimes feels like War Thunder.

CK3 is a worthy successor to CK2 but unfortunately it is too simple. That's why it gets a thumbs down. It is too easy to expand your empire. It is too easy to get titles for lands. It takes a maximum of two generations to establish an empire, even if you start as a count. When I think about CK2 how long it sometimes took to get titles for lands. There are still no cults, no opportunities to open trade routes with events although you can build a port. The worst thing is that there are unfortunately no defense pacts if you are conquering too much. Like in CK2, I loved this option in CK2.
The AI ​​is ok in terms of support, but that's all. Crusades on Jerusalem are simply blocked because the crusaders come with ships and receive a powerful debuff as a result. I wish the AI ​​would be more clever in all these things. I was never able to finish a game because it was kept too easy. If you increase the difficulty from the game the ai gets better bonuses and you get less taxes with less morale. Not really a challenge if the AI gets little cheats. Unfortunately there is no sweet spot between CK2 and CK3.

The Byzantine rework is like you wan't it but you don't need it. Playing as an adventurer is the most boring thing I have ever experienced. It's just an event manager. Still no cults, still no trading posts. Maybe it will come in chapter IV.
