There's no need to make separate thread about their games so I make the one to judge them all.

Mainstream press consider them as cheap, casual shovelware but since mainstream press promote heresies like Bioshock Infinite being good so it's a wise choise not trust it.

CI relesaed shitton of fpses, mostly WWII. I want you guyz to give an opinions if anything from their catalogue is decent at least. I've played a little of Alien Rage demo and, for modern shooter, it wasn't terrbile... but also haven't touched anything else.

So?

I found the dialogs in SAS Secure Tomorrow hilarious... i'm not sure if they were supposed to be, but i doubt they aren't at least a bit self-aware.

I've bought every FPS made by City Interactive (except the on-rails stuff) i could find in GamersGate but i haven't played anything except SASST yet. I've also played Alien Rage (that was when they tried to rebrand as "CI Games", i guess their creativity can only go that far) which i liked - yeah, it was generic sci-fi, but i like generic sci-fi and i like how brutal it was.

I also have bought and played an FPS they published called "Codename: Nina" (or something like that). It is... nice. I haven't finished it though because i got stuck in a level and couldn't find the exit.

I love those obscure (...outside their country), "Z-list" games and i have a bunch of them (many only in physical CDs i've got for peanuts on ebay). Sometimes i'm considering making a YouTube channel with such games that isn't yet another "let's laugh at the budget games", but video editing requires effort (and hardware, for mics and such) that i'm not very interested in.

I've only played and finished Sniper : Ghost Warrior 2. Some of the visuals were really nice, but for the most of the time it was even more mediocre than Activision's titles. I remember having some problems, like for example I would have to crouch and after that you should see a cutscene. Instead, I was just crouching for eternity. Other time the enemies didn't spawn and after a couple of minutes and checking on YT I knew what was going on. Sniper Elite 2 is much better, more satisfying and interesting to play.

CI Games are, at best, bundle fodder.
