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.

Super Contra is a 1988 run‑and‑gun arcade title from Konami, continuing the story of Bill Rizer and Lance Bean as they battle alien forces that have seized a military base. The game mixes traditional side‑scrolling levels with new overhead stages, delivering fast‑paced shooting and platforming challenges. The sequel expands the original’s formula with co‑operative play, a variety of enemy types, and retro pixel‑art graphics, offering both solo and multiplayer experiences for fans of classic arcade action.

So much fun

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