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.

Kid Icarus: Uprising brings the classic Pit adventure into a spectacular 3D world on the Nintendo 3DS, blending aerial shooting with intense ground‑based hack‑and‑slash action. Designed by Masahiro Sakurai and Project Sora, the game offers intuitive controls, a deep weapon system, and a myth‑inspired storyline that pits Pit against Medusa’s Underworld Army.

So much fun

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