As a longtime fan of the Tropico series, I initially hesitated to try out Tropico 6 after skipping Tropico 5. However, I eventually decided to give it a shot during a sale, which included some DLCs. To my pleasant surprise, as a veteran player of Tropico 4 up until 2024, I found Tropico 6 to be a significant improvement.

Tropico 4, time capsule of memories staying up late.

I absolutely loved the custom battles and the wide array of available mods in this game. It's the closest thing you'll find to a Warcraft RTS with the Total War combat system.

I thoroughly enjoyed the custom battles tailored to the time period of the Roman Empire, as well as the diverse selection of mods available for this game.

I thoroughly enjoyed the custom battles set in the Napoleonic Wars era, as well as the wide variety of mods available for this game. Achieving the "Medallion of the Imperial Psychopath" accomplishment was a highlight for me. After completing 72 campaigns, I decided to retire from the game, satisfied.

Ah, high school days, the golden era. That's when this game first hit my radar, and boy, does it bring back some nostalgic memories. I've always been drawn to playing as the Native American civilizations; there's just something fascinating and enjoyable about their gameplay.

Now, in Civ 6, I'm exploring the world as the Cree, and let me tell you, a lot has changed between Civ 5 and Civ 6. It's like diving into a whole new world of strategy and civilization-building. I can't recommend enough the experience of delving into either game, each is crafted in its own unique way, and there are plenty of differences between the two. So, whether you're settling into Civ 5 or diving into Civ 6, you're in for a great time.

The Classic Warband. Can't go wrong without it.

Gmod RP's downfall is a result of its inconsistent and immature player base, coupled with the toxic presence of racist and homophobic communities that plague many servers. The original veterans have moved on, likely to more meaningful pursuits like adult responsibilities or actual careers. Meanwhile, the influx of newcomers is a mixed bag, mostly consisting of obnoxious kids with an overinflated sense of self-importance.

Sure, the core of the game still exists, but it's drowning in a sea of mediocrity and greed. Many Gmod servers are overrun with greedy practices, charging players exorbitant fees for basic features or pushing pay-to-win schemes.

It's like watching Gmod turn into Roblox or Minecraft, catering solely to the elementary school demographic. The game seems to have lost its appeal to anyone outside of the younger age group, and as someone approaching 30, it's unsettling to be associated with this shift in player base.

And if you're still continuing to play Gmod, remember to ask the person you're roleplaying with for their IRL government ID, else you might find yourself featured on Chris Hansen's "How to Catch a Predator (Online Edition)."

After wasting 6,169 hours of my life on this sinking ship, I've had enough. Garry's Mod, consider me officially checked out.

Great gaming company simulator, highly recommend it. Plenty of mods on the Workshop.

Pretty basic Far Cry game, just set in the Stone Age, so I won't bore you with explaining what a Far Cry game is like. I like the fact that it is still the only Stone Age combat game out there, to my knowledge.
