I checked the wiki and Rogue should also have Axe, if you’re attached to the playthrough and don’t wanna restart :)

Just make sure to buy a weapon that matches your skills. If you put your preferred weapon/armor in Major Skills and keep your Stamina over half, the otherwise clunky combat feels much better. Have fun!

The combat makes more sense if you custom class and put your preferred weapon skill into Major. And keep stamina high. A Redguard with Longblade and the appropriate weapon can kill a mudcrab in two seconds at level 1. You ideally want to start with your main combat skill over 40, if not 50-60. The best part: you don’t need to min-max since the level scaling is minimal. Just pick your favorite armor type/weapon in Major and the rest can be whatever you want.
The game does NOT make that all clear, unfortunately. It took me a few tries to wrap my head around it before falling in love with the game.

Fair enough. There’s always the two-hour grace period for refunds. The first “real” level after the tutorial eases you in pretty well, so if the gameplay doesn’t click there I’d take it as a sign. It’s a unique game that punishes hard for mistakes, so it won’t click with everybody.

There’s a story/cinematic difficulty, but I haven’t tested it out. The standard difficulty is a challenge, but in my experience it felt fair. I’ve never played a Soulslike so I don’t have a point of comparison on that front lol.

Prey (2017), killer immersive sim. Reminiscent of System Shock 2 mainly.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 11 months ago:
If you enjoy the combat, Sifu takes that/the Arkham Batman style to a new level. Definitely has a crazy high kill count, but the story is all about revenge so there’s not too much ludonarrative dissonance.

I suppose it looks fun, but I always preferred games that didn’t lock you into official servers like DRG and TF2. Hopefully this isn’t too much of a derail from the question being asked :).

I bought it on GOG and it worked out of the box, but I might just be lucky.

If you found HL1 dated, there’s a good remake in source: store.steampowered.com/app/362890/Black_Mesa/
Even as a purist (HL1 is my favorite FPS period), I love how Black Mesa handles the source material. It’s on sale for $5 right now too. Besides Valve’s other games, check out F.E.A.R (2005), Doom series and the Bungie Halo games.

Especially considering that a particular Final Fantasy game has one of the most famously spoiled twists. You’d think they of all people would know.

Check out Tamriel Rebuilt too! It’s a mod to add the mainland that, while incomplete, already has 100s of quests. Good quality control too.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 1 year ago:
Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind lets you fly around, jump over whole cities, and kill most NPCs with one high powered spell. It’s a very unique game, but if it clicks with you there’s nothing quite like it. Vibrant modding scene too.
The base game is certainly playable, but if you want modern resolutions and some vanilla-friendly bug fixes OpenMW is an open source recreation of the engine, there’s instructions on their website.

Civ 3 had some killer modern music.

The Mombasa Streets music made me stop in my tracks a couple times.

Sifu is a fun martial-arts focused game. If you liked the combat of Sleeping Dogs and Batman Arkham, it might be your kind of game. It’s currently on sale for $20: store.steampowered.com/app/2138710/Sifu/
