  I’d like a modded version named Borkenstein 3D where you play as the dog and kill Nazis to save your human.

  Jeez, 18.6 gigs for a game that looks like that. I’m going to play it anyway of course, but I wonder why, with low res textures and models, that it takes that much space. Engine?

    This looks like it’s actually 3D. Combined with modern sounds and music, probably a rather large library of textures regardless of resolution, and modern programming “sensibilities,” that’s what you get.

    Wolf3D fit on a floppy.

      And Return to Castle Wolfenstein fit on a CD-ROM.

      I’m a middle aged man now, I was around when 3D acceleration became a thing for PC, first with Voodoo 1 and so on and so forth. And let me tell ya, you don’t need 18 gigs for these graphics. Or maybe you do, maybe it takes like 200 hours to complete the game, idk. I’m just complaining about the compression.

  Dynamic Rat Companion - Turn the battlefield into chaos with your vicious rat sidekick. Distract enemies, combo with grenades, and create absolute carnage.

    This should be a feature in every game.

      I always played Lawful Neutral mages in Baldur’s Gate 2 because which familiar you summoned depended on alignment, and LN got a snarky ferret companion.

      I wish the feature was more fleshed out - familiars didn’t react to narrative events and you could run through his entire dialog tree in about two minutes. There are thousands of mods for BG2; surely one of them expands the familiar system?

      And Divinity: Original Sin 2 had a squirrel riding a skeletal cat that was pretty awesome, though I think it was a preorder bonus.

    Kinda reminds me of that rat “sidekick” in Comix Zone. Such a good little sidekick, flipping switches and finding items, even stunning some enemies if I remember correctly.

      Deep-cut reference! What a mind-blowing game.
