    Nightfire or Agent Under Fire are probably my favourites. I often played Nightfire by myself with bots, using only Oddjob’s hat or the remote controlled missiles lmao.. Agent Under Fire was played a lot by my family and I in those little co-op minigames. There was one specifically where you had to eliminate the others’ VIP they were protecting in a train station. Definitely one of the most memorable gaming experiences when I was younger.

    There are some notable titles such as Risk of Rain or Spelunky that do this, but I’m looking for more co-op roguelikes. Well executed roguelikes can keep repetitive content fresh. Adding in a co-op element also allows the game to have more content options for specifically team-based initiatives while it should still keep long-term progression separate once two players part ways.

    As for rail shooters, I think that’s a genre I haven’t given enough attention. Looking through your list, the Whisker Squadron series really caught my eye so I’m going to make a point to download the demo later today. Thank you for showing me these!

    Akin to this, any games with a dynamic reputation! For example, in the Infamous series they would either love you or be afraid of you. It gave your actions an impact and made the world feel alive around you.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is another great example.

    I’ve always experienced RTS as a spectator because I never could keep up with my opponents APM. I’ve been meaning to pick up Age of Empires 4 because I wasn’t into PC gaming for the 3rd’s release. GTA San Andreas consumed my childhood, though that’s not really early 00’s. Any of the James Bond titles for the PS2 as well.

    It’s often argued that open-world, zombie survival, and the likes have been overdeveloped and variety needs to be introduced to help stimulate an otherwise stale market. What do you wish upcoming games had that the others do not? Were there any titles that just fell shy of your expectations?
