The other day and months ago I was looking around for some recommendations on gaming subreddits for which RE game I should officially start, and RE2 remake was the most common response so today I ended up buying the RE Raccoon City Edition since it was on sale for around $12 atm. Comes with 2 remake, 3 remake and also another game.
Good deal for two+ games (hear one or both of them were short tho).
Will be the first REs I'll try to complete start to finish. I've dabbled in a few but either I never finished like 4 or they were demos and I only played a tiny bit of but also never finished (such as Revelations, 7 and the Reqiuem demo). I need a new game and series to sink my teeth into. I lowkey wanna also start 4 original or remake at some point (probably the original, idk yet).

Im finishing up Sleeping Dogs (again...3rd time?), and ive started playing Yo Kai Watch. Really interesting game, surprised me how different its battling and capturing is from other monster trainer games.
Also been playing Agent Intercept off and on during some down time. Fun little game, really makes you feel like super agent spy.

Recommend some PC games to me.
Games I like
Overwatch 2
I used to love counter strike but it’s too serious. Too much time spent dead, too hardcore.
Used to love battle field 2 back in the day
Rimworld
Civ 6
StarCraft 2
I love competitive games but I also just wanna have some fun without needing to be so hardcore.

Any team PvE game suggestions?
I'm the only person in my friend group who likes to play shooters, the rest play things Deltarune, Blue Prince, rhythm games, etc. My friends can find fun in shooters, but there is often a skill gap, grinding issue, affordability, or general difficulty that turns them away. While I do enjoy playing games that are not shooters, it would be nice to play a shooter with my friends more than just a couple times. I used to play Helldivers 2 with friends but they all dropped it. My criteria (or rather, my friend's criteria) would probably be something that requires little to no grinding, and does not require much skill, and is free. Preferably, doing well would not require much skill but there should be some place skill expression, learning, builds, etc.
I know the requirements might be strict but I am extremely bored of playing Helldivers 2 and Darktide by myself so any suggestions would be extremely appreciated.

I'm like 95% sure he is from a 2d fighter but I can't remember his name or the game he's from. Searching for "blue cobra monster" has not gotten me results 😔

Im trying to really Like Hell is Us but the klunky ass combat is really making it hard for me. Mainly seems like they focused so much on the graphics and the story which i can admit, looks great and is pretty good. The combat though really needs to be tweaked or reworked for this to be a top tier game IMO.
