Overview
Description

Best of the Best: Championship Karate is a retro fighting game that puts players in a linear championship tournament focused on kick‑boxing techniques. Developed by Loriciels and Futura, the title delivers fast‑paced, two‑player bouts with simple controls and sprite‑based graphics. Released in November 1992, the game offers a single‑player campaign where you climb the ranks against increasingly skilled opponents, as well as head‑to‑head multiplayer matches that capture the spirit of early 90s arcade martial‑arts competition.

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.
