Joe is right, it would be great if professional players or tournament organisers would give community maps a shot. There are already dozens of well designed, quality maps out there.

Until then..

Played through Return of the Obra Dinn this weekend. God damn, son! Went in without knowing anything and was pleasantly surprised by the whole moment of death mechanic as well as the story. I had a lot of fun with it and it's definitely one of my favourites now.

I'm glad I took a few days off to try these indies. It was definitely a breath of fresh air!

Oh yeah, I also tried My friend Pedro, but it didn't do much for me.

The music was also just right

I picked up A Short Hike after I watched the GDC talk and it really worked me up towards the end. It's so innocent and simple. It reminded me a lot of my childhood, spending the summers at the country side and playing about, climbing over fences and whatnot. This one hour experience has more value to me than most of the 15+ hrs games I've played lately. Hmmm

It doesn't look bad from that video either, actually. might check it out on a steam deal eventually for sure.

Yeah, I guess they had a really tight budget to the point where there was none left for marketing but yeah, should def check it out when it's on sale

In the past 4 weeks I've played Doom: Eternal, Half-Life: Alyx and Terminator: Resistance. The contrast between them couldn't be greater. And while there were things I liked and disliked in all of them, the one I'd go back to replay would be Terminator: Resistance - which is probably the least impressive of them from a production and gameplay standpoint. But Doom: Eternal is too much of a chore to play and Half-Life: Alyx is just not as comfortable due to VR.

Even Crysis 1, everyone remembers it as this wide open world game, but the levels were still "linear" in it's design, they were just wider "corridors".

Stalker's world structure is also a good example or Borderlands I would say. Hell, even something smaller in scope like Saints Row's open world would be welcomed as opposed to some of the 100+ hours epic adventures that everyone is pushing for (thanks a lot Skyrim).

Also, Crytek has been teasing at a remaster of the original for the past 2 days.

Actually, the more I think about it... would be cool to play through a campaign that has the fever nightmare mood and you're basically going against zombie versions of the mobsters Max killed with the end boss being his wife and baby. That would be god damn mental.

Edit*

It's official, I've gone mental

Max Payne with zombies?

-by non-linear levels I mean you have multiple ways of completing an objective, and the levels themselves are "open" in that you can go almost anywhere for longer distances than you can in typical FPS levels.

Oh boi

and not a moment longer "We have ray tracing, it's gonna be dope!"

Seems like the state of emergency just got extended for another month here.
