M&M 6, one of the top 3 best game ever.
I will test that for sure.

Hope they will do some optimisations on the resources used by this game. My gaming PC and my laptop both have their fans hurling when playing this game. Doesn't make sense my 3060Ti moves its fans to maximum considering the graphism.

I think this game misses a relax mode, or a way to better set difficulties for casual and relaxing-after-work gaming. I like exploring, constructing, but to enjoy this game I had to use cheatcodes, which also destroyed its interest. This mode to hard (with no sense) games like eden ring, with no way to lower the difficulties to live the story, explore the lore quietly is disappointing. A simple way would be to propose a "quiet" mode formexample where when you die, you respawn in the bed with your stuff. This way you only loose time when taking risk, and to code, that wouldn't be too complex! Add one or two badges for the hard-core so they can play "who's the biggest", and every one would be happy.
First Doom, Hexen, etc. had difficulties levels to enjoy all.

I also agree that like many current games, it lacks of optimisation. Developers must make effort to port their games so they can be used on laptop and steamdeck with draining batteries in minutes (especially considering graphics not complex), without making all fans hurling or burning my bed comforter to display simple graphisms (why now strategy games turn-by-turn like "Old world" or "ozymandias", with quite simple graphism, need so many resources??) .

The climax may be reached in the next couples of years when 1/ microsoft will end its low-cost key politics to fight against piracy and 2/ if they really make the new incoming windows with yearly or monthly subscription, as they have begun with Office and as rumor says about this next windows '12'?

Sounds fun, especially the last part of the video when it seems to become a bit more challenging.
Can you play with multiple players? Does it have combos like more power, more something if you perform complex stunts?

Quoting: Kimyrielle
Quoting: EikeThe preview image is chosen so well... :D
A Ferenghi would have been even more fitting, though.
You mean Star treck's hyper-capitalistic Ferengi?

About tripwire, I hope that Chivalry II will come to linux or proton quite quickly as it was pointed as 'just a EAC trouble' a couple of months ago.

Too sad that the ssd format is not quite common. Limiting the interest for my point of view.
