No change from previous update, still playing MarZ, as it takes an hour or two to play each mission properly.
Mission 15 is kicking my arse as the landslide keeps catching my soldiers, despite what I thought was enough time to evac.
So instead, today will be about games I've found that look interesting, or have rediscovered that I actually have keys to (with over 1300 games on Steam, and more keys every month from Humble Bundle and Fanatical, there are many games I did not redeem... yet)
-----
NOTE: These I have NOT played yet, but want to get into. Actually there are dozens of games I want to try, but never seem to find enough time.
Ram Pressure -- Imagine a game similar to XCOM the original in scope, but with graphics engine of the remake... and multiplayer. Meteors rained down on Earth, many of them alien ships or fragments thereof. Rather than panicking the population, the government instead contracted various mercenary outfits to scout and acquire the alien sites... and eliminate witnesses. You are the commander of one of the mercenary outfits. Your job is to secure the site, first-contact any survivors if they are friendly (but shoot them dead if they are hostile), secure any alien technology, intelligence, or weapons, against all comers... and aliens themselves. You may be facing other mercenaries... or something even more sinister. And you may have to make a moral choice, once the veil has been lifted. Twelve classes of soldiers, ten categories of weapons, procedurally generated deformable terrain (blow down the wall for the sniper to shoot in)... This can be interesting, but initial feedback isn't that great. Worth a try?
Warstone TD -- tower defense with a mix of strategy, RPG, and city building, help people raise an army and defeat the evil chieftain bent on world domination, explore the land, contact allies, etc. Cute comic art style, Actually quite old.
Greed Corp -- turn-based strategy that require you to keep a balance between max exploitation of the land (and causing environmental disasters)... or fall behind on your production and research and be conquered by your rivals. Have up to 4 players (3 of which can be AI or online), across 3 dozen maps, and separate single player campaign, 4 separate factions... Overharvesting of resources results in total collapse of terrain, which can be used as a strategy... or just scorched earth denial. How would you battle your enemies?

Previously Played...
Choplifter HD -- the original choplifter on the 8-bit computers was a revelation on how even a simple game can be amazing and fun. This version is a remake, and while it kept most of the same mechanics, and used a modern graphics engine, it also tried to go a bit far by making a lot of the helos DLCs (for extra $$$$) and some bits of it a bit too hard, as you have fuel for boost, weapons to shoot, rockets to blast... even as you try to survive against all sorts of threats. They even added zombies to some levels.
Her Story -- you are given access to various interviews by police questioning a British woman about the disappearance of her husband. By entering keywords, you can find additional relevant footage. Can you piece together her story... and why you are there?
Driver San Francisco -- Tanner had finally arrested Jericho, crime kingpin, at the end of Driv3r in San Francisco, and Tanner, along with his partner Jones, was going to escort the prison convoy to the courthouse. But on the way, Jericho somehow escaped and took over the prison van, Tanner gave chase, but soon the table was turned, and Tanner ended up in a serious collision and fell into a coma... Then suddenly, he found himself driving with Jones, and gained the ability to shift to other drivers... Can he locate Jericho this way? Then what? What were Jericho's plans?
NOTE: The game "went out of print" in 2016, even from Ubisoft's own store, probably due to license issues.

Will continue to play MarZ to the end.
