Overview
Description

Jak II takes the beloved characters from the original platformer and plunges them into a dark, dystopian metropolis known as Haven City. Following a series of torturous experiments with Dark Eco, Jak seeks revenge against the oppressive Baron Praxis while unlocking devastating new transformations. Blending high-speed vehicle navigation, third-person gunplay, and challenging platforming, the game delivers a mature storyline complemented by trademark humor from Daxter. Players explore a sprawling open world, accept missions from various factions, and master a versatile arsenal of morph gun attachments to save the city.

Counter-Strike 2 is the free-to-play successor to CS:GO, a tactical 5v5 shooter defined by precise gunplay, economy management, and deep competitive play built on the new Source 2 engine.

So much fun

Counter-Strike 2 has been my go-to lately. Pure skill-based gunplay. One gripe: steep learning curve. Would recommend.
