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.

Overlord: Raising Hell is the expansion pack for the original Overlord, adding three new realms, fresh minion types, and a host of new abilities for the titular villain. The DLC builds on the series' signature blend of strategy, hack‑and‑slash combat, and sardonic humor, letting players wreak havoc on even larger scales. The added content deepens the gameplay loop with new puzzles, tougher bosses, and multiplayer challenges, while retaining the witty narrative that made the base game a cult favorite. Whether you’re conquering castles solo or teaming up with a friend, Raising Hell offers more ways to dominate the fantasy world.

So much fun

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