If Half-Life is one of the most influential videogame series in history, its not only because of Valve, Gordon Freeman, and the actual FPS games themselves. Half-Life and Half-Life 2 are nexus points for a whole generation of PC classics. Counter-Strike began as a Half-Life mod, as did Day of Defeat, and The Hidden. The first Team Fortress was bundled as a Half-Life spinoff. The same Source engine that brings to life City 17 and Ravenholm is also the backbone of Team Fortress 2 and Portal. Originally released in 2007, Zombie Panic Source is another of Half-Lifes informal descendants. A spiritual precursor to todays asymmetrical, multiplayer horror games and a staple of mid to late 00s modding, alongside CSGO and Left 4 Dead, Zombie Panic Source is now somehow having a resurgence on Steam.

My biggest problem with Elden Ring Nightreign stems from its map. Even though the layout changes with each run, there isn't enough randomization to keep me coming back. Limveld doesn't feel like the home of a true roguelike, despite the eight different Nightlords and sheer volume of gear on offer. Luckily for me, then, this new Nightreign mod shakes up the soulslike's various maps, diversifying the games core elements and creating an entirely new challenge.
