It was released in 2010, what did you expected? Some games back then used bloom and other effects to cover things players should not witness. And this game?
This game is bloated with bloom-like effect to cover a LOT of issues, including holes in geometry and whatnot.
Had to use modified .ini file to disable most (all?) of them. Game runs fine not matter what you do, but your GPU radiators would go full speed all the time and it was annoying.

Oh, I mean it looks like a bad game, not graphically bad (though it is ugly, too).

Looks like ultima 9

how does this game still manage to be scary with this graphics

Old graphics from that era are more scary than modern ultrarealistic graphics because of uncanny valley effect and still leaving some details to the imagination.

Plus good sound design and the fact that after 5 minutes you dont notice the graphics as you get absorbed into the game.

This game is just so beautiful.

 

[adddeed]

Yeah i also love the detailed interface design. Its the same for their other game, Space Rangers 2 which is another gem you should play if you havent.

 

[Malamert]

It's a shame that most new games have dull and uninteresting interfaces. Feels like good UIs have become a lost art these days.
Space Rangers 2 is superb. Got hundreds of hours in it. It's of the few games that actually manages to have a living, breathing and constantly evolving universe.

Firered playthrough, I was pretty under leveled and still beat everyone..only needed to use 2 revives so yea I consider this one of my more successful ingame teams I've made. I could have done the same effect but with Tauros but fuck that I like kangaskan more and she jives well with the aesthetic of the team.

Screenshots from various Duke Nukem 3D mods from the compilation made by NightFright. It's really convenient for someone like me, who didn't tried any custom levels during the old days to go through them. Some of them didn't age well, or the author thought that using assets from a couple of different games, and putting them on Duke would work. But others feel great and have a really smooth gameplay.

Ah...the memories I have of Duke 3D. One of the greatest shooters ever made.

It was the first game where I played multiplayer over the internet. Those 28K modems...

Malamert pls forgive ignorance -- what is it?

Beowulf it's The Long Journey Home.
Damn game is hard, even story mode eats my expeditions like candy.

 

[Malamert]

Malamert pls forgive ignorance -- what is it?

King's Bounty: The Legend. There are four games in the series, with a fifth one in the works.

 

[Beowulf]

Have you ever wondered how bombing velociraptor cavalry would look like?

Yeah, they move them with trucks. Poor bastards.

The game releases tomorrow on steam

All right, I welcome my robotic overlords

One of my opponents aptly named his last bastion

I hope it won't turn out to be Glorious Codexian Stalingrad in the end

The dreaded logistics bottleneck overlay. As in real life - you don't want to see black.

More fighting in a green, lush pass

 

[Alienman]

The characters looks like gen-players from Football manager.

Sacrifice / Wheel of Time

 

[Malamert]

Sacrifice looks stunning even today. Its gameplay is also stellar. Warmongers as Manalith guardians are a joy to behold in action.

The Long Journey Home seems to have really crazy and awesome alien designs and mannerisms, like SC2.

What's this? A mod for EU4? Name please?

Also quite annoying limitation on conversations where you can only ask couple questions from aliens before they start to complain that you're wasting their time.

It's Shadow Empire, where, as it turns out, you can't really peacefully coexists with your neighbours across the lava lakes.

 

[Catacombs]

It's Shadow Empire

How are you liking it?

It's a one dev endeavour, but he is making the same game for decade or more, now.
Missing some QoL that newer games offer, but it's the best strategy game I played in years.
There is a relevant codex thread with more impressions:
