Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
Ninja Destroyer is correct - Strange Brigade is good fun solo, even better in co-op. The same can be said for Zombie Army Trilogy, in fact I like Zombie Army even better.
Both games are published by Rebellion, which means they are insultingly overpriced at list, but they do insanely deep sales.
Huge value for your $ on sale.
Full endorsement for Zombie Army Trilogy. Surprisingly the zombie spinoff games did something that Sniper Elite has always been lowkey best at - one where you set up the warzone with traps and utilities to deal with inevitable face to face encounters. Sniper Elite 2 and 3 suffered from too much point n click sniping, but 4's superior level design and Zombie Army games legit felt like pure arcadey survival fun where it plays best when everything clicks.

Strange Brigade, sadly I'm not a fan, game felt a bit too safe, didn't find much replayability compared to ZAT. But if you have spare cents for a fast paced game then why not. Not like we have that many adventurous Indiana Jones-ish shooters outside of maybe Deadfall Adventures.

Is there any racing games where you race yourself, but also have to manage things like in Football Manager? Maybe some hidden title or something, mostly I find seem to focus on only the actual racing.

F1 2020 has an very in-depth career mode if that's what you're talking about. You own a team, you manage schedules for various activities, manage financial and technical development, making deals with sponsors, answer post race interviews and so on. It operates like a usual career mode in FIFA or Pro Evolution Soccer, and while some aspects can be a bit shallow (like the rivalry system or dialogue choices in interviews) the career mode as a whole feels really immersive and well thought out.

I think SB excels in co-op, especially if you play "coopetitively" i.e. you are racing your friends to grab all the gold but still working together to fight the enemies.
Solo, the main game loses some oomph for sure ... try the horde mode though, some good challenge there I thought.

My stuff is on sale, if you enjoy dungeoneering and would like something that doesn't follow the Wizardry/Dungeon Master template, it might be right up your alley.

Honest question: Can you make a living out of it?
Not unless you make it big or find your own niche. You can try, but I'd suggest doing it in your spare time and not abandoning your day job (at all, given the current circumstances).

I bought Valkyrie Drive Bhikkhuni Complete Edition from winter sales:


Its pretty fun action/hack-n slash game. Fun gameplay with bounching titties. Also has like 30 mins of dialog between gameplays and Manpukumaru-chan has more personality than all cp2077 characters combined.

Manpukumaru-chan <3.

Only thing i dont really like is maps where you have to play with Mana, because her attack moves are so weird.

Wolcen has horrible reviews and has had them for awhile, yet it keeps getting even more (negative) reviews and I guess people playing/buying? I don't understand it.

Fans of Hack & Slash, who already played to death everything from Diablo to Grim Dawn and want something new dont have much other options. So probably even if its mediocre game its still good enough for them.

Hey, this game is getting overwhelmingly positive reviews even before it's out.

And you see who is trying all these sort of deceptions by another game they linked in the description. It's PlayWay, in the guise of CreativeForge.

Can you pillage and rape entire villages with your orcbros? Emphasis on rape.

Is Desu EX: MD worth getting? It's peanuts so I might as well buy it.

Big fan of the original, played it on release. Didn't like HR all that much and never finished it.

I got bored with MD and didn't get very far, but it's not like it's super terrible. It's there, it's a game, if you're asking the question "should I" it's probably worth the $2 at this point to just try it.
