Trucking companies are hiring people who've put serious time into the Truck Simulator games.
'Murican Truck Simulator.
Did not try. Took this one a bit at random, it had good reviews and I found it cheap.
Or should I say... I found it sheeep ?
Heard the 3 had a Man free roam, must be great.

It's Veil of Madness.
Seems I've beaten FFIX, what a disappointingly short game, took me around half an hour...
Hexen 2 has some impressively well thought-out level design.
Exhibit A, a castle gatehouse:
Starting from the far end, we have a drawbridge, controlled I think from one of the guard rooms to the left and right, which are behind firing slits for archers. Above we have a set of murder holes with a pot of boiling whatever standing over a fire, to be poured over the invaders. Finally in front of where I'm standing is I think a portcullis that is controlled from a room within earshot of that boiling pot.
I wonder if they were basing it on something real or if they actually had an idea how medieval castles worked.

Exhibit B, some tools in a stables:
When you first see this, it looks like just any other meaningless prop. But later on you find a shovel that was very clearly taken exactly from this rack.
Exhibit C, a furnace in a forge:
In most other games this furnace would end here.
But in Hexen 2 it actually has a chimney leading further up through the first floor to the roof.
And now for some random things
Seeing "shoppe" in medieval games never gets old.
A bar called 'The Raven's Nest' is a recurring gag in Raven games. You will also find one in Heretic 2 and Wolfensteen '09. I'm actually surprised the cantina at the start of Nar Shaddaa in Jedi Outcast isn't called like that.

I had to suffer this shite for around a decade without the means to even ask, so now you'll suffer too. The cycle o violence continues.
The Decline, index.php, Strange Fellow, Kabas, Modron, d1r, it's Veil of Madness, an entry in the recent Dungeon Crawler Jam. It's extremely short, very unpolished and like a modern version of The Legacy: Realm of Terror. The author is supposedly thinking about expanding the jam version which would be very welcome.
