PC Is anyone playing another game of the side?

What horror genre game or games are you playing on the side? Not flash or lame YouTube games please, real games.

I just finished Condemned: Criminal Origins. Definitely creepy with a cool story, but my selling point is the melee combat with pipes, sledgehammers and 2x4s and the like.

I am starting Vivisector: Beast Within. I could never get it running back in the day, but got it on a Virtual Machine running 32bit Windows 7. So far so good.

When done with that I want to play Call of the Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. I think I beat it back in the 2000s, I don't remember. It was a cool (practically unknown) game, but only for the horror game genre guys.

I got 2 of the games from GamersGate back in the 2000s I recently bought Call of the Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth on GOG. I had the boxed retail version before. They are hard, if at all to run on windows 10 but a Virtual Machine does the trick.

I kind of like the resident evil games, but I need First person perspective to really get into a game of its type and no auto aim either.

No this is not a VMware Workstation ad, its just that it does work with older games.

My god, Vivisector in insane at medium difficulty it seems impossible. At one point you can not find health anywhere and the animals take you out too quick. Then I am fighting soldiers which is much easier and health packs are everywhere as is ammo.

The game is Russian with a English and widescreen patch, and is like The Island of Doctor Moreau, with weird robotic animals. Its ridiculous to be pelted with grenades from apes with grenade launchers and the tigers breath fire. Its idiotic but I would like to finish it if I can.

There is a lot of eastern European games that are cool that I got off Gamersgate. Another one I got is Cryostasis The Sleep of Reason. I also got Penumbra and Amnesia the Dark Decent from them too.
 
Hmm nobody responded to your original post. I been hitting a lot of my steam library games a lot recently - took a break from 7D2D since I was getting burned out on making mods for it and testing them out.

Satisfactory I been hitting hard recently, along with The Long Dark if I want to do a survival type of game.

I recently picked up Galactic Civilizations 3 on Steam Sale so I am thinking of installing it for some playtime - love space strategy games
 
Started playing the last Master of Orion game here recently. I'm approaching 15K hrs with 7DTD. (Need a small break). It's a pretty good game but need a few mods to make it playable.

I’ve been playing Enshrouded and am really enjoying it.

I started playing that. It looks interesting so far. I heard that building stuff can be adjusted so you're not using blocks that are about 1/4 m cubed instead of 1m cubed, so I have to look through the options for that because building with such small blocks is tedious.

I've recently started Sons of the Forest and that is surprisingly good, though it's definitely better with at least one other person. Solo can get boring quickly. But with someone else, it can be very fun. Though you can easily end up in a "death" loop in the game for a while before you finally manage to get away.

The best 4x out there.

It's good, but I actually preferred Haegemonia for space-based 4X. And Stellaris is of course a good option if you want space 4X that is more on the epic scale. But GC3 is still a fun game.

That's a good one. I think I prefer Foundry, though. Satisfactory definitely has more polish and a nicer looking world, but I find that it just takes way too long to get much of anything done in it. Foundry moves along much more quickly, so I end up enjoying it more.

You can select 0.5M, 2M and 4M shapes. When you have the construction hammer in hand, hold down Alt and scroll with the mouse wheel.
 
I thought this thread was dead. Its always nice to see people enjoy a thread you make.

I just finished Far Cry original 2004 a day ago. I played it on one level up from normal difficulty and it was only luck sometimes that I actually finished it. I also Scum Saved by saving a state in VMware Workstation. I had a Windows 7 Pro x64 Virtual Machine that ran it well, so I would Scum Save If I got tired of trying to beat a section that seemed ridiculously impossible over 10 times. Also sometimes the official save spots seemed so far apart it got overly frustrating.

I played and finished Penumbra Black Plague before Far Cry. It was meant to be a 2 story game, but there is a fan mod for Amnesia The Dark Descent that will hopefully conclude the series properly.

Thanks to Steam and GOG sales, I have so many games I want to play, I do not know which will be after Penumbra. I may go Deus Ex the original 2000, or maybe Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, or maybe Clive Barker's Undying, **** if I know!

I have to admit, I am kind of bored with 7DTD after finishing my overly massive base. I have got to let the zeds go by me without fighting to see them get to all the traps I set. My base is so secure that I have had to add 200% AI block damage and 64 zeds on bloodmoon just to make it interesting. I can't believe I literally have to just let them by without shooting them to see them get through my outer wall into the inner section of my base with all the blade traps!

I use to switch between 7 days, minecraft, and ark a lot long ago. I added a few others like valheim and subnautica (1 and 2) but lately just been going from a lot of 7 days to maybe a solitaire game or just nothing at all for a few days at a time.
 
Restore Your Island. It's so chill, relaxes me so i can deal with all the AI every time I try to fix something that someone broke unknowingly...

7 Days is the first creative sandbox game I ever played. I am usually only single player RPG and or FPS games. I thought about that Space Engineers game, but I never got it. I do like older FPS and RPG games, so I usually make a killing on retro games on Steam and GOG sales. I mean would you not buy a cool older game on GOG for $1.99 or something. Less than a Big Mac.
 
I've playing Dying Light (the original) and Dying Light: The Beast lately. Then some Plants vs Zombies... lol (just realized that even that one was zombie-themed). Oh, and I started Days Gone, too, but I'm not sure if I'm ready for that kind of game right now. I've heard it's fantastic though (I'm like 30-45 minutes into it, if that).
 
I used to play Dead Frontier 2, maybe last year. Haven't lately though. It's one of those games where, if you get used to it, you can just put on a long-form youtube video and turn your brain off and just do combat. Less fine-motor-skills for looting than 7DTD, more gross-motor-skills movement and shooting.

I still have a few of my games from long ago on floppies in the oringinal boxes. Older stuff like King's Quest, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, etc.
The graphics on those were way ahead of when we use to play pong.
I picked up some of them again on steam. I think I have the whole set of LSL.
