Looks like fun and reminds me of a very old game i used to play, where you would race toy cars around kitchen tables, office desks and such with plates, pencilcs and other stuff as obstacles. Can't remember the name though.

MicroMachines was the bain of my childhood on the Sega Mega Drive.
I never played Micro Machines but loved the menacing atmosphere of Nitro on the Amiga. Nitro and Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge were in constant use at parties because of the multi-player.
I've spent the last few days testing the waters of Medieval II: Total War. I tried it in 2006 but my PC didn't stand a chance of running it so I had to wait until I upgraded. Several years later I tried again on a better PC but the performance still wasn't good enough and it would be sluggish fully zoomed out on the campaign map and would only get worse as the map became more populated. I never even bothered trying the battle map as the FPS would have been far too low.
I added more RAM and a GPU a few weeks ago and found the game disk in storage so decided to give it another go 17 years after my first attempt. After a few hours messing about with compatibility settings trying to get it to load (never thought I would have to deal with SecuROM again) it now loads to the campaign map in 20 seconds and runs beautifully on maximum graphics settings. It's like loading up an old retro game but a really good one with excellent sounds and graphics and outstanding depth. I played Total War a lot and won the grand campaign a few times so that will serve as a tutorial for Medieval II. It's been a long time since I got this exited about a game.
There will be blood.
I just finished Killer Frequency, a fun little first-person mystery horror with some comedic elements. You're a radio DJ in a very small town in the 1980s who gets drafted into running the town's 911 line while an infamous killer from the town's past returns and begins killing again. You answer calls from potential victims and have to try and help them escape the killer, all while also trying to solve the mystery behind the killer's origins. There's branching dialogue, so different choices you make can lead to different outcomes, which allows for some replayability.
It's a love letter to 80s/90s slasher movies, with tons of fun references, while also adding its own legitimately scary killer to the pantheon. It's also a quick play. You can finish it in under four hours, though it took me about 5 1/2 in my first playthrough. I ended up getting every trophy for it because I enjoyed it so much, though I had to do three different playthroughs to do so, which still took less time than playing through most other games just once.

Sounds interesting, maybe I will buy It when It is not so expensive
Killer Frequency looks great, that is definitely on the list. The developer is Team17 who made Full Contact which was one of my most cherished Amiga games. I didn't know they were still going and with the same name which is an achievement when so many Amiga/Atari software houses folded or were bought out when fourth generation consoles arrived.
It iS fun, it's like Doom II but then in the Warhammer 4K universe, you have a variaty of guns which you can use to shoot the enemies with.
It is rather refreshing to just walk around and annihilate everything and search for keys so you can open doors and then shoot some more enemies.. like in the old days.
I love the Total War series and played almost every game since its inception. The mix of a strategy layer with well made tactical battles is what got me plus the settings were interesting. My favorites were the two Shogun games and the Warhammer series ( since i'm a huge Warhammer nerd).
I still have the CD-I Philips versions of this, and yes, i was one of the 3 fools who bought a CD-I back in the day. lol
I discovered an old game from 2016 called Recore: Was an Xbox MS exclusive but has been on steam for quite a while.
OMG
Recore while fun is just chock full of bugs, you can't even rebind keys. I think MS has just abandoned this one.

Octopath Traveler. The sequel caught my eye, but I never played the first one, so I figured I should start there. It reminds me of another JRPG I was playing recently, Live A Live (the HD remake, which has very similar visual style to Octopath Traveler), in that the bosses are positively humongous when you're fighting them, even though in the cutscenes before and after the fight they are just regular-size characters.
