Guns of Fury :love: Love the graphics, always had a soft spot for richly detailed 2d art. Besides, who doesn't love running classics on classic hardware?

The Tomb Raider remaster gets added to my unending "games to play" list. I only completed The Revelations, and never tried the other two.

Guns of fury looks like a fun pick up and play. The others didnt tickle me at all.

I put 7 hours into classic battlefront 1 and 2 yesterday, and OG destroy all humans 2. Sadly there will be little gaming time for the next 2 weeks, so I doubt ill pick anything up.

Civ 7 reminds too much of work. But Guns of Fury looks interesting.
