I've always had a soft spot for Duke Nukem Forever despite it's many flaws.

It's just a very unique and interesting game imo, and especially love the non-combat sections where you're just fucking around in a strip club or whatever.

    Mount and Blade is the shit.

    Mount and Blade 2 also the shit, I'm gonna be getting into that more as they build out the alpha more. Just in the last couple of months they have finally built out the majority of perk trees, although you still gotta check www.bannerlordperks.com to make sure you aren't picking a deactivated perk.

    There's nothing like it - it's basically an RPG RTS with realistic controls - meaning yelling at your army to do stuff - and it's a full simulation.

    Also the combat is hard, and at first it could be confusing but it comes naturally to me now. I think Mordhau actually taught me to play Mount and Blade better, because they are surprisingly similar systems.

    Your weapons actually make physical contact with the enemy, and damage and blocks are dependent on the actual physical location of the weapon during the swing. So you can turn your body to slow down or speed up a swing, and make contact with an enemy. You also have to swing the weapon in the correct direction to not be blocked by their weapon or shield.

      I bought bannerlord on release day of the early access only to discover that I had misread the system specs and don't have a computer fast enough to properly run it.

      Fucking love warband though, back when I was doing my A-levels I would play it pretty much every night to help deal with exam stress.
