Fallout London is amazing and it makes me kinda of sad that Bethesda's best days are decades behind them (hexbear.net)

Like seriously, this is the best successor to Fallout New Vegas I've seen in a long time. There's a lot of originality here, a lot of humorous writing, and a well-crafted world that is deep as well as broad and has a lot of opportunities for roleplaying.

It does all the things that Bethesda decided not to do so that you could experience the joys of building the same settlement 40 times and choose dialogue options such as HATE NEWSPAPER so you can find your 60 year old son who made Terminator people because reasons(?) and knows the surface world is doomed and not worth saving after having spent literally less than five minutes there in his entire life and talking to zero people

Like sure your choices of factions so far are liberal ren faire nerds, straight-up fascists or an autocratic deep state but supposedly there's a Yes Man style ending coming up in a future update and it's a damn sight better than the bland as fuck factions in Fallout 4 and the writing is nowhere near as stupid as anything Bethesda has produced in 20 years.

Just bums me out knowing that Starfield and Fallout 76 are what they are now. Uninspired garbage and shameless microtransaction maximization.

It was previously called "doom: the rogue like", but the creator copped a C&D. Relative props to ID - all they wanted was for the game not to have "doom" in the title. It's a surprisingly deep roguelike based on Doom. It lifts straight from old school doom including the difficulty names - so I'm Too Young to Die, Hey Not Too Rough, Hurt Me Plenty, Nightmare etc. I have just recently got to the point of semi regularly clearing Spider Mastermind on Hard (Hurt Me Plenty) but I haven't killed the optional boss for a full clear yet:) it has a lot of depth, and is properly difficult on UltraViolent and Nightmare but is also very approachable on ITYTD. It also uses the Doom soundtrack and it sounds like the Doom SFX, has an exceptionally sick tileset, and perhaps most importantly has a really modern UI using the mouse. The download page is here.
