Overview
Description

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.

Gekido is a gritty beat 'em up for the PlayStation that drops you into a neon‑lit cityscape teeming with bosses and colorful enemies. Featuring music from Fatboy Slim and Apartment 26, the game blends frantic combat with a comic‑book aesthetic crafted by Joe Madureira. The title supports single‑player, multiplayer and co‑operative modes, letting you team up with sidekicks Michelle, Ushi and Tetsuo to rescue the kidnapped girl Angela. A Game Boy Color version and a GBA spin‑off followed, cementing its cult status among retro action fans.

So much fun

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