I'm now in the Trier area of Deus Ex: Invisible War.
It's rather sad that the core gameplay is still PURE Deus Ex - vent crawling, stairs, alternate routes, cameras and turrets, but the locations are smaller due to the game design seeking to accomodate the console.
Also the stealth system in this game is really not implemented properly at all.
This truly could've been so much more of a better game.
Still proper cyberpunk. All the endings of Deus Ex were made "canon" by IW, so the world is pretty much screwed, people struggling to survive, nations being replaced with city states, fanatical organizations cropping up all over the place, commercial flying being almost nonexistent.

Fallout 2. Looks like in the steam version I'm playing implant upgrades don't work, only their base versions. A shame. Also I remember now I've had trouble seeing practical implications of being a box champion in some old run.

You gain increased reputation in New Reno and a bonus to DR.
The DT/DR increase was a bug in the original game. The Restoration patch got rid of it even back in the day.

I think the reward was an increase of rep and maybe Unarmed Combat? I am not sure as it has been a while.

Been playing Diablo 1 PS1 (on Retroid 3+ handheld during downtime at work, otherwise I wouldn't use PS version); always neglected it as I started with 2 as a teenager. Great atmosphere. Though, playing as a warrior level 12 feels impossible, incredible enemy/projectile spam. I may have to restart.. maybe one-shots through the dungeon aren't intended? I should have expanded into having some magic and more dex I guess. Getting kind of worn down at constantly baiting fights, all the enemies that run away if you get within a few meters of them, or others that hit you with ranged flurries that cancel all of your moves. I do love the idea of having cursed items, those that may give a nice buff at the expense of something else.

I'm playing some Doom: Plutonia, since it's been a long while since I last played it.
It will be interesting to see whether or not I can make it a No Death Run, but I will most likely die either due to carelessness or the sheer amount of tough demons in many of the levels.
Revenants, revenants everywhere...
Also many of the levels use environmental traps and a lack of space to maneuver in order to increase the difficulty. Many players have said it is a very gimmicky Wad, and I can certainly see why.
I like it though.

I tried playing Plutonia Experiment once.
Once.
What filtered you?
I think it was the archvile and chaingunner spam on the first few levels, but I'm not entirely sure.
Yeah, it does get infuriating after a while, but one learns to adjust to it.
Aaand I fucking died already...
Level 9 "Abattoire" did me in...
That last section on that circular platform. Incubi, revenants, chaingunners...
