The kind of game you daydream about while at school or work because you can’t wait to come home and play some more.

    Elderborn. In its own words, a METAL AF SLASHER. Kind of like a first person souls-like. rolled straight out of beating it into a new game+

      The studio that makes those games, makes the best in their genre and is somehow punching above their weight. I got Elderborn too after playing Postal Brain Damaged and was impressed.

      Everybody likes different genres, and this one probably wouldn’t be mine, but it was entrancing and I basically immediately poured all my free time into it too. Totally worth the buy.

        These days I’m more of a boomer shooter dude, but the trailer hooked me and I regret nothing. Haven’t tried the newest Postal yet. Played postal 2 back in the day. blood west is likely next up for me.

        Devs like Hyperstrange and New Blood are killing it these days, in a time when the big devs are laying off entire teams. It’s amazing what happens when you have smaller devs who are focused on the games and not chasing number-go-up.

        As New Blood says, “We love you. We hate money.”

          I only played Postal Brain Damaged because I liked 2 so much, and that’s how I found out about boomer shooters to begin with!

          As for Postal 4… Would not recommend. Sadly.
