Games you thought would be fun, but were very boring instead

Sure. But Drox Operative – what is it that you like about it?

Oh…everything? The fact that the computer is convincingly playing a 4X game around me? The varied quests? The way empires behave toward each other. The multiple ways to win and lose. The varied toys to play with. The ease of co-op. This game is so good, I have to avoid playing it because NOTHING ELSE WILL GET DONE if I do.

Drox Operative 2 desperately, desperately needs to have twin-stick shooter controls instead of ARPG controls for navigation and combat.

You can play it with a controller, which makes it more akin to this. It’s the only way I play it, really.

@rhamorim

You can use WASD in Drox Operative too, it’s just hiding in the settings. I had problems enjoying the game until I changed the controls to that, and it became a lot better then.

Also this.
