Spec Ops: The Line

Spec Ops: The Line – test video for the desert shooter
Genre: Third-Person-Shooter | Development studio: YAGER Development | Release: 29.06.2012 | Preis: 4 dollars, reduced by 80 percent
Der Third-Person-Shooter Spec Ops: The Line is different. Unlike other war shooters or shooters in general. Set in a fictional scenario in the real city of Dubai, which is strewn with desert sand, as Captain Walker we fight our way through the city, against the sand and in the end, with our conscience. We don’t want to reveal too much for those who haven’t played the game yet. But it’s worth it. After all, Spec Ops is one of the most compelling anti-war games of all time.
Fabiano even thinks that no comparable game has been developed since its release in 2012:
sad anniversary
There has never been another shooter like Spec Ops: The Line
Anno 1800

Finally Endgame for the new world – the finale of Anno 1800
Genre: Construction Strategy | Development studio: Ubisoft Mainz | Releases: 2019 (PC) and 2023 (console) | Preis: 20 dollars, reduced by 67 percent
Many of you will have owned it for a long time, but for everyone else, the perfect opportunity has now come: Anno 1800 is probably the development game par excellence, and it also scores best in our ranking of all offshoots. 1800 remembers after the science fiction part Anno 2205 back to the roots of the series. In classic Anno manner, we explore an island world by ship, build a variety of different buildings on these places and try to keep our citizens happy with the supply of necessary and luxury goods.
Anno 1800 was released in 2019, but has been reliably supplied with DLCs since then, so that fresh and new content is always available. Our tester Geraldine was also able to convince the last addon ascent of the new world.

Test – Do you give a furious Finale, do you give Anno merit?
