Apex Legends - free and high-quality battle royale

The core idea of ​​Apex Legends will be understood by anyone who has played any other battle royale. 60 players land on a large map, look for weapons, equipment, ammunition and fight to the last survivor, trying to stay in an ever-shrinking safe zone. Unfortunately, many key elements of the series have been purged from the game. Here, for example, there is no wall running, double jumping and giant robots falling from the sky. According to the developers, all this simply did not work in the royal battle: the titans would have to be greatly weakened, and the frantic dynamics and parkour were not suitable for a game in which you cannot almost instantly resurrect. But there was an opportunity to quickly slide along the slopes and climb low obstacles.

Untitled Goose Game - a review of a fun game about a goose villain

And by the way, the goose is not an ordinary bird. It plays an important role in the mythology of many peoples of antiquity, both northern and southern. The Scandinavians celebrated the arrival of cold weather by the departure of goose flocks, for the Egyptians, on the contrary, they served as a sign of the onset of summer. In the Slavic fairy tale Geese-Swans, these birds play the role of psychophores, that is, carriers of souls between worlds. In ancient Rome, geese were sacred birds to Juno, the goddess of marriage and motherhood. According to a well-known legend, once the geese completely saved this very Rome. In folklore, the goose is depicted in the image of Mother Goose and in the Russian folk song about the city of Tarusa (where "roosters and geese are disgusted with Marusa"). Etc.

Microsoft Flight Simulator - The King is Back

Not all of those who fell in love with the sky through Flight Simulator started with early releases. For many players in Russia, acquaintance with the famous series began with Microsoft Flight Simulator X, or, as it was affectionately called "AYCH". This release impressed not only with beautiful graphics by the standards of that time - it also had extremely accessible and sensible training (flight lessons, voiced by real pilot Rod Machado, still evoke warm feelings among the players). Not the last role was played by the openness of the game for modifications.

Subnautica: Below Zero is the sequel to the best survivor

The original Subnautica is one of those games that can be praised for hours. It left early access three years ago, essentially at the end of the survival sim boom, when the industry began to switch from survival games to battle royales. At that time, there were already so many “survivors” that it was difficult to surprise gamers with something new, but the authors of Subnautica still managed to do it. They turned out to be one of the highest quality and unique representatives of the genre: Subnautica pleased with a unique concept (a diving simulator on another planet), an unusual setting (the events of almost the entire game took place under water) and, most importantly, an exciting gameplay with complex crafting and construction.
