You enjoyed Portal a lot. You toured its rooms solving the inventive puzzles, harboring a love-hate relationship towards GLaDOS. But then it was over in a flash, and you were left yearning for more. You also like boxes. What can you do now?

One of those brief but satisfactory Half-Life mods that is better precisely because of its short length, as it wouldn't feel as good if it lasted two hours. In this one you embody a Black Mesa cleaner named John Skinner, who gets caught in the middle of the disaster while wearing his protective HEV suit. The bad part is that this also makes the HECU mistake him for Gordon Freeman (well, him and the several dozen others with a suit I guess?), so it's kind of a bullet magnet.

Fans of first-person shooters in the mid 90s had two choices: either to play Doom, or one of its multiple reskins. Enter Heretic, a select clone that applies the same formula to a medieval fantasy setting, made by then little known Raven Software, a studio with a once great career (Soldier of Fortune, Elite Force, Jedi Knight, Quake 4...) that ended up as a support developer for the Call of Duty franchise (hurts me more).

While I'm not reluctant to try "modern" games (read: those released after 2010 or so), I do tend to stay away from the "popular" ones, the kind that move large numbers of kids and teens to say stupid things on social media and consume content of questionable quality, usually backed by intense and cringey marketing campaigns. So it was only natural that, when a couple of friends told me to join them to play PUBG for a few laughs, my reaction was to raise an eyebrow in disbelief.
