Sold. Also paging Brian Rubin…
Thanks to @BrianRubin’s recommendation I picked Geneshift up on sale the other week and I have been loving it.
I’ve been pining for a Battle Royale game with bots since PUBG hit it big and this fits the bill despite being GTA 2D style. The bot coding/scripting is great and I haven’t even raised their difficulty level yet. The game has an excellent on-ramping system that incentivizes the player to try out the very broad range of playstyle options, tools, and weapons with little in-game achievements that it tracks (Battle Royale Challenges). Wonderful system. I haven’t even touched the campaign or PVP yet so there is a lot of meat here.
I have to say that my $10 was well spent just on watching the bots use the in-game chat. I cannot believe the developer spent time on that and I am so thrilled they did. Bots will use the chat during the game session, taunt, and say things like GG or GG EZ. They have misspellings coded in to simulate humans fast typing, they spam “NERF SKILLS PLZ” after a match, and even say things like “Shit I left the oven on, brb”. This stuff is gold.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying Geneshift! And yeah, the boys are astounding.

This sounds amazing. I need to try this game out. I also bought it based on @BrianRubin’s recommendation.
I wonder if there is any game with “space” in it that Brian disapprove of…
There are plenty. Ask @BrianRubin about Darklight Conflict, for instance. Or Privateer 2: The Darkening.
Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing features heavy use of the space bar and Brian hates that game.
I meant “space”. Not “jpegs of space”. =)
Truly? I remember liking all the Privateers. Cannot imagine the esteemed Mr Rubin not liking it!
Well, brace yourself, because he didn’t like X3: Terran Conflict at all. ;)
Hm, I sense a trend. I wonder how he’d feel about my upcoming release, Dark Darkness: Even Darker?
Heh, if you go to my curator page and look up “Not Recommended…” you’ll see there are quite a few.
Oh wow, I just caught all the other replies. You guys are great.
Hmmmm, you’re missing The Long Journey Home in your Not Recommended list.
Don’t Escape: 4 Days in a Wasteland is a fun, re-playable, gorgeously pixelated, and finely polished point-n-click survival adventure with the worst name: https://store.steampowered.com/app/611760/Dont_Escape_4_Days_in_a_Wasteland/
