You might not have played Event[0] (PC)

Event[0] is a narrative exploration game released in 2016.

Gameplay: Singleplayer, Exploration, First Person
You are stranded inside your escape pod in space. By sheer luck you stumble upon another space vessel and manage to dock on. You soon meet the AI of that spaceship named Kaizen-85. You need Kaizens help to get home. Kaizen also needs your help to do some necessary work on board.
The main gameplay consists of exploring the ship and talking to Kaizen to learn more about him and his ship. To talk to Kaizen you have to be at one of his terminals and then just start chatting with him.


Get Event[0] on steam. Beating the game took me 3-4 hours, so the game can be quite pricey for that. But I enjoyed that time a lot.

You might not have played The Feeble Files (PC)

Gameplay:  Point&Click Adventure, Humor, Singleplayer
Like most of the existing p&c adventures the gameplay is mostly a puzzle of finding items and figuring out where to use them to help the protagonist do what he has to do. The setting of this game is where it gets interesting. You play as an Alien 'Feeble' that has a strange obsession with the earth and its inhabitants. This obsession has the tendancy to get him into trouble. One mistake after another and suddenly Feeble has to overthrow a distopian government.

You might not have played Lands of Lore: Guardians of Destiny (PC)

The second part of the Lands of Lore series that was released in 1997 for the PC.

Gameplay: RPG, Story, Singleplayer, First Person

You are Luther. You have been accused of being a servant of the dark armies and imprisoned. You manage to escape because you are cursed to randomly transform into a tiny lizard or a huge demon. This curse is also the reason for the accusations. After your prisonbreak you will have to find a way to break the curse. 

The Game features a variety of different magic abilitys, weapons and mechanics due to the curse that lets you either be a tiny lizard, which enables you to go through small passages, or a huge demon, that can destroy anything in its path. The controls in this game are a bit iffy, as you will have to click on a button with your mouse to attack or cast a spell. But the game does not suffer too much from that considering the gameplay is not all about combat. A mayor part of the game is interaction with your environment to solve puzzles and that works like a charm with the mouse controls.

The game is fully voiced and has a quite charming retro soundtrack.

You can get the game including the first part of the Lands of Lore series in a bundle for 6$ on gog.

You might not have played To the Moon (PC)

To the Moon is an indie adventure RPG game released in by Free Bird Games in 2011.

Gameplay: RPG, Story, Singleplayer
The game focuses alot on the story and gameplay is only mildly relevant to enjoying this game. If you like experiencing a good story you will like this game.
To explain the premise of the game im going to cite the official site:
"There exists a technology that allows doctors to weave artificial memories, such that a patient can request attempts to alter their mind, and wake up with memories of things that didn’t actually happen.
However, since these new memories are permanent, the conflict between them and the existing authentic memories clash in such a way that it ceases the person’s ability to properly function. Thus, the operation is only done to people on their deathbeds, to fulfill what they wish they had done with their lives… but didn’t."
You journey together with the two doctors using this technology to aid a man in the last hours of his life.

You can get the game on the official website, which also provides links to steam, gog or origin.

You might not have played The Bard's Tale (PC)

The Bard's Tale (2005) is the newest and last installment of the Bard's Tale series.

Gameplay: Hack n' Slay, Humor, Story
The game plays like your standard hack n slay game with the exception that you can summon allies using bard magic to assist you. The good part about this game is that it features an engaging story about a good for nothing bard that just wants to live his life to the fullest.
The combat mechanics are interesting and allow for an active feel instead of just spamming an attack key. You will have to dodge projectiles and block attacks to survive.
The humor of the game is probably its strongest point. On several occasions the game will allow you to decide between a good/bad/neutral path and each decision makes sense and has hilarious outcomes.
If you are looking for a good hack n slay that will entertain you for hours, look no further than Bard's Tale.


Buy the game on gog. There is also an IOS version available.

You might not have played GIANTS: CITIZEN KABUTO (PC)

Giants is a third person shooter game by Planet Moon Studios released in 2000.

Gameplay: Singleplayer, Multiplayer, Third Person, Shooter, Humor
In Giants the gameplay is heavily affected by the Species you are playing as. There are 3 Species in total.
 Meccaryns - also called Meccs are the technological advanced species. They use heavy weaponry, vehicles and Structures build with the help of Smarties (little inhabitants of the planet). As a Mecc the game feels like a third person shooter.
 Sea Reaper - Using Magic and some structures (again, build with the help of smarties) Sea Reapers can teleport and leap over the battlefield and rush through the water, in which deadly fish wait for the other two species. One Sea Reaper is capable of taking on several Meccs, if he splits them up.
 Kabuto - Think of a mix between Godzilla and King Kong. Now give him sharp teeth and the ability to raise an army of  baby-dinosaurs and you got yourself a Kabuto. A Kabuto is an army of itself and there usualy is only one of them on the planet. But beware - you have a very vulnerable spot on your body that can be exploited by the other species.
The Multiplayer gamemode features an asymetric Team vs Team vs Team environment. The ratio between the species is usualy 3 Meccaryns vs 2 Sea Reapers vs 1 Kabuto or any scaled variant of that. Each species is so well implemented that you will be happy to take any side and people wont fight over playing the Kabuto everytime.
The Singleplayer gamemode features a linear storyline, lots of humors and interesting missions that don't get repetitive.


You can buy the game DRM free on gog.
There is a graphics enhancement mod you can get here.

You might not have played Necromania - Trap of Darkness (PC)

Necromania is a game from Slovakian developer Darksoft Game Development Studio and a Czech company Cinemax released in 2002. It received bad reviews from press and players, but is actualy an interesting game.

Gameplay: Singleplayer, Multiplayer, MOBA
The term 'MOBA' stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena and recently got more popularity with the success of 'League of Legends', 'Dota 2' and upcoming titles such as 'Heros of the Storm'. Necromania is not an 'Aeon of Strife' Cardboard cutout like those games though and deserves the tag 'MOBA' with its unique gameplay that shines in a multiplayer environment exspecialy when playing against friends.
The objective of the game is to find parts of a key inside a dungeon and use those to open a door to escape. There is only enough keyparts for one key though, so you have to get the parts your enemies are holding onto by luring them into traps.
There are different characters that have mostly the same ablities to lay traps into chests or on the ground. Those traps can keep enemies trapped in environmental hazards or deal direct damage. Every character has a certain speciality only he can do though. The Mage for example can turn invisible.
All of those special abilities use up Mana, which also serves as your Healthpoints. So if you spam too many traps without replenishing your mana or stealing mana from enemies by them activating your traps, you will be at low hp and easy to take on in a direct battle with your opponent.
The ingame taunt system is very elaborate which adds alot to the multiplayer experience with friends. I would not recommend the Singleplayer though, since it can get boring easily to fight against CPU-opponents which cant feel the pain of losing all key parts right before they could open the door.


The game can be found for a few dollars on many online platforms such as ebay and Amazon. If you still look for a fun game for a lan party you should pick this up.

You might not have played SOULFU - Secret Of Ultimate Legendary Fantasy Unleashed (PC)

SOULFU is a game developed by Aaron Bishop who is currently working on the Sandbox Game Lords of Uberdark, which might also be worth looking at.

Gameplay: Dungeon Crawler, Coop, Third Person
The objective of the game is to explore a dungeon and get as far down as possible before you die. Along your way you have to defeat several monsters, bosses and avoid traps. To survive this endavour you can play together with 3 of your friends in a hot seat coop mode using keyboard and joypads. There is a good variety of classes to choose from that all have interesting unique features. The dwarven character for example, is able to resist poison, while the hobbit character is able to see traps.
Since the game is very punishing on character deaths (experience loss) and quite challenging in the lower levels, you will start the game over to perform better on the earlier levels and conserve more ressources. The game manages to stay interesting though since you can mix up your class composition and you can hope for more nice loot in the next run.

Download: Windows/Linux/Mac - Windows version with the option to save the game.
