I got Cyberstorm 1 as a present and had no idea Cyberstorm 2 was a thing until I found it on sale second hand at a library having a fundraising drive... and so of course I pestered the heck out of my gran to get it for me.
It was exactly what a good sequel should be. More of most everything (except perhaps a little of the hidden humour) that made the first game fun. More hercs, more 'derms, more mission types, more planets, actual research, and even entirely new classes of unit for your synthetic pilots to panic in. And of course equipment granularity I've rarely seen surpassed in even full on RPGs decades later.
As a kid this game was my introduction into the concept of a dystopian future where corporations run everything. Run everything and battle for dominance with massive clone piloted mechs. Working your way up the corporate ladder by means of explosions was hilarious to me, and largely still is.
There are tons of weapon and system options for your Hercs (Mechs) and Bioderms (clones) that can completely change the way that you utilize them in the field. From creating a zippy Meteor hovertank for scouting to dropping a team of Apocalypse super heavy walkers that are effectively each a walking fortress, you have choices. Lay a minefield in a valley with a Mantis, lure the enemy through with a Meteor, and rain destruction on them with a cloaked Apocalypse. Or run a full team of cloaked scouts and snatch the target before the enemy even knows you're there.
Tactical thinking is rewarded on the battlefield and strategic during base management. Do well enough in both and be rewarded in the boardroom.
Lost OdysseyLost Odyssey is set in a world in which a "Magic-Industrial Revolution" is taking place. While magic energy existed in all living creatures beforehand, it suddenly became far more powerful thirty years before the beginning of the game. Because of this, it has affected society greatly, with devices called "Magic Engines" harnessing this power for lighting, automobiles, communication, and robots, among other uses. While previously only a select few could wield magic, many magicians gained the ability. However, such progress has also caused two nations to develop new and more powerful weapons of mass destruction. The kingdom of Gohtza and the Republic of Uhra (which recently converted from a monarchy). Uhra is building Grand Staff, a gigantic magic engine, while the heavily industrialized Gohtza actively pursues magic research of their own. A third nation, the Free Ocean State of Numara, remains isolated and neutral, though it is falling into disarray due to a general attempting to stage a coup d'etat. Uhra, at war with Khent, a nation of beastmen, sends its forces to the Highlands of Wohl for a decisive battle at the start of the game.Open world

Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival
