Soran
Still a work in progress, but seriously a well thought out game. Would have never have guessed it was made by just one person.

A game full of potential, very fun to play with friends!
It’s definitely more productive to settle our dramas in this game instead of fighting IRL

Primal Hunger
“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Hunt or be hunted. Eat or be eaten. Evolve or die. Play as a fledgling creature vying for dominance. Eat. Kill. Evolve. Dominate the evolutionary chain, and crush those who challenge your right as the Alpha Predator.
You must slay other evolutions to gather catalyst. As you gather catalyst you can evolve into more powerful creatures eventually turning into an Alpha Predator, capable of wiping other players from the game permanantly.
Rise of the Triad
There are 2 options to follow when a developer decides to do a remake: either it remains true to the original, including (the quite possibly dated and obsolete) gameplay or it gets modernized to today’s standards becoming only slighty reminiscent to its predecessor. The best way to go of course is the successful combination of the 2, something like Doom 3 . The creators of Rise of the Triad chose the first option with all its benefits and risks and while it can’t possibly compete with present day story-driven FPSs, mainly due to the unique nature of the original game, it still manages to remain an enjoyable first-person shooter.

If DOOM (2016) and Shadow Warrior (2013) could be comparable to the success of Shovel Knight by how they deviated from the guidelines of the old-school FPSs, choosing instead to resonate the nostalgic memories into a new game, then Rise of the Triad (2013) is a case of where it adheres entirely to the classic formula with graphical differences. Some might argue that this is to the detriment as the original Rise of the Triad wasn’t without its own share of issues the reboot inherits.
As someone who enjoys the shattered expectations that ROTT brings to old-school FPSs, it has always baffled me how this game never got wide acceptance in spite of its flaws. If people can accept what kind of old-school FPS experience it wants to be, and not what people assume from these games, there is a great experience to be had that keeps true to what people love about these old-school FPS. It’s not a perfect game nor is the foundation it is built upon without its issues; however, most complaints about the gameplay come across as misunderstanding the niche appeal of ROTT and how it manages to stand itself out from the other FPSs of the past as well as the present.
