I have two Hori sticks, the RAP4 (modded) and fighting edge unmodded.

Both work great on pc and playstation. Hori at least had a switch stick, but not sure if any more. It was based on the RAP, which is a fine stick, even out of the box.

If you don’t have budget constraints, ordering a custom could work too, since you could get it to work on the switch and ps. I don’t think many sticks support both out of the box.

If you can leave the switch out, Qanba is real nice. Razer sticks are pretty cool too, very heavy and boxy, but I like that. And Hori is a bit more budget friendly.

The Nacon stick with Sanwa parts seems like a good deal too.

There a youtube channel and a steam curator called Mortismal Gaming who loves CRPGs. Their shtick is also completing games at 100% before popping a review, and they are churning out new material at an amazing pace. Check it out for some decent coverage on the genre.

As for a maybe hidden gem, Age of Decadence looks pretty good. I have not played it yet, but the genre seems to match, and the premise is solid.

Expedition Rome is well appreciated too, even if it leans more toward tactical battles.

Dread Templar was great fun, and a very smooth experience. It even has melee weapons that aren’t crap.

Wrath Aeon of Ruin was a mediocre experience for me. The shooting was fun, but there was a real lack of enemy diversity. I remember the checkpoints being funky somehow?

Og games like Quake, Doom and Unreal hold up really well. They can be modded to your hearts content too. Brutal Doom is just way too much fun

Blood is super fun, but unfairly difficult on the highest difficulty. It kicks your head in, until you learn, but every minute of the experience is fun. Until the maze-like levels and actual mazes make you dizzy.

Cultic is like a modern Blood, but an even more deliberate version. The demo is good fun and the game is cheap.

Poweslave Exhumed is something I remember enjoying as a kid. Iron Maiden themed romp through mummies. It kinda reminds me of…

Amid Evil and Hexen//Heretic. Both feature mystical weapons, mana for ammo and fantastical locations and monsters to kill. Amid Evil is a great shooter with survival modes, a full campaign and all Heretic and Hexen are older, more dated games that will hurt you. But I love them for it.

Dusk was rhe first new retro shooter I played, and it’s fun. It’s slick, has a nice deathmatch mode and the campaign doesn’t overstay its welcome. I hear it has been surpassed by Hrot.

Blood West tricked me hard. It’s not a boomer shooter, but more like a single player version of Hunt, or a wild-west monsterhunting Dishonoured? It’s fun and unforgiving, but not a boomer shooter, even if it has guns.

EYE Divine Cybermancy could qualify, I guess. It’s a trippy grimdark warhammer inspired rpg shooter. Very boomery in it’s visuam style and lack of handholding, but definitely more modern than Quake.

Black Mesa is Half-Life, and it’s good. Nuff said.

Haven’t played enough of Hedon, Project Warlock, Ion Maiden, Incision, Prodeus, Graven or Rise of the Triad to say more than they exist.

I mean, look at Silica and compare it COD or Battlefield. Smaller indie project, supported by a bigger publisher and filled with heart. It looks like a dream game from when I was a kid.

Battlezone meets Starcraft.

Oh you should, there’s a good chance you’ll like it. I’m thinking about giving it another spin too, since the new Zelda game seems to follow in its footsteps.

I don’t think Barotrauma has been mentioned yet? Survival in a submarine, as far as I know. Haven’t played it, but it reviews well.

Ark and other survival/crafting games like 7days to die and Raft are great fun. Persistent worlds for collective fun.

There’s a new Starship Troopers co-op shopter out with 16 simulataneus players kilming bugs.

And Legion Td2 for a co-op campaign/bots experience.

Yeah, kinda. It’s a non-profit providing research and offering consultation on the well-being of the population. We also have a service side that provides sexual education, family planning help and relationship counseling. The data from the service side is used in conjuction with wider population data to have a peek at societal trends etc.

Social sciences, expert/consultant position. We have our own in-house research, and collaborating with them is always good fun

Don’t like them. Deathmatch is more fun, and is even better with some Quad Damage

Necrodancer soundtrack is criminally good.

Oblivion, Morrowind and probably Skyrim too. The open world didn’t captivate me, it just felt too big, too sparse and ultimately not interesting.

Same goes for Breath of the Wild. The world is just too barren. It doesn’t help that I feel like the weapon breaking is extremely stressful.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is too slow and clunky. The skinning animation made me uninstall. It does not respect my time.

Kinda funny, because I don’t mind grinding in arpgs. Maybe because they are faster-paced when the combat happens, and then you start wracking your brain with the theorycrafting side of builds.

Half-priced it’s a good deal imho. The world is nice if you enjoy the cyberpunk aesthetics and feel it portrays. I usually don’t like open world games, and Cyberpunk didn’t actively repulse me, but I haven’t finished the game either.

Slay the Spire is a big one. Casually smacking out wacky runs during a lunch break is the bee knees.

Brotato is good for this too, even if the game can be a bit repetitive. I wish it would grow even bigger with more items, more deep mechanics, more everything. Thank goodness there’s modding.

As a kid, Alien versus Predator co-op survival maps were a big one. Mindless mayhem clears the mind like nothing else.
