Argh. Sorry that it's happening to a favorite fighting game of yours now. :/

I feel you because even though Street Fighter V got fixed eventually, the launch was total blueballs. The gameplay was great, but holy crap the product around it was unexpectedly horrendous.

Thankfully SF6 rocks ✌️

The soundtrack is very haunting, lonely and kinda cozy at that.

Each track is also partly randomized during gameplay; samples pop in at randomized times, pitches and stereo placements while a tasty drone keeps going. I love it!

Correction: All missions are procedural; there are no pre-designed ones.

I remember feeling a bit disappointed about this game as a kid, and rightfully so - it's not 'great' compared to others. More than anything, it's a little desktop app. But the sprites look great and the SW spirit is there!

Honorable mention also to Yoda Stories. I actually own this game in physical 😅

Ignoring the dreadful Windows stock UI, the game core itself isn't bad. Missions designed & procedural, lots of SW gadgets with cute icons, classic sound effects and characters. It summons the old trilogy atmosphere!

I always loved that particular intro card from Mortal Kombat (3, was it?). It’s a good quote too.

It’s pretty unique for a game to have an intro card that’s not a company logo etc, but a philosophical concept!

Oh it's from Latin. I imagined there'd been a bearded Athenian fellow called Meliocrates somewhere back in time, and that he had had this fancy big idea about life and the universe... Oh well 😂

What’s the history of that word? Surely it comes from Greek somehow? It sounds like an album title to me…

Also, gameplay-wise best Doom endboss fight I've played so far. No spoilers but it's simple and engaging, utilizes the basics of Doom gunplay and graphics engine well. I wish all the bossfights in original Doom were more like this one.
