Honkai Star Rail

You join the Ranks of the Nameless as one of two Trailblazer Siblings, your Star Trek Voyage begins onboard a Space Colony Under Siege with no memory of who you are or where you are from and the only way to find your lost memories is to travel with the Nameless Faction across the universe to find your answers.
*Gameplay* For What Reason do the Trailblazer Siblings exist? That is entirely up to you to decide as some to most of your actions will influence your Trailblazer Sibling's Identity during Away Team Missions. So make that Identity a good one! *Enters Battle* Phasers on Stun as we've got enemies to fight in the Battle Simulated Universe!
Descent 1-2
In Descent 1-2, you've given the task of dealing with a Malware Infestation that has infected Mining Drones across the Solar System by the PTMC (Post Terrain Mining Company) Government. The Robotic Mining Drones have completely taken over the Mining Colonies & have cut off the Auto-Destruct Commands. To make matters worse, they also taken hostages. Its up to you save as many hostages as you can, destroy as many infested drones and blow up the main Fusion Reactor Core in each Mining Colony. But don't stick around too long or you'll be going down with the Mining Colony's Reactor Core Meltdown!
Gameplay: Descent
The Drones keep getting meaner & multiplying like rabbits. But with my piloting skills, these drones will be history! *After getting the Spreadfire Cannon* It's lights out for the Earth's Moon Mining Colony! *after blowing up the reactor. SFX = "Self-Destruct Sequence Activated T-60" Uh-oh, its time to leave! Trust me, you DO NOT want to sit around to clean up the mess you made after dealing with the drones, head for the Emergency Exit right away! *after exiting the mine* That's it for the Moon's Mining Colonies!
Gameplay: Descent 2
Your ship not only gets a makeover, but its main computer is infected with the same Malware and the PTMC gives you new modifications to your ship such as a Warp Drive and has you travel lightyears away to deal with another set of Mining Colonies that are also infested with Mining Drones gone rouge.
*after getting the Plasma Cannon* Now I'm ready for these Drones as they're about to be turned into scrap metal! *encountering the Thief Bot* Oh No, its the Thief Bot, this drone is lightning Fast and can steal your weapons & modifications from your ship, so take it down fast! *Finds the Thief Bot and Reactor* Got you now! *destroys the reactor and Thief Bot* And that's my cue to escape before this Mining Colony goes up in smoke!
Fallout
In Fallout for DOS PCs, War Never Changes as told by Ron Pearlman. Its the near future and in 2077, the entire world is wiped out and only a select few survived in the Underground Bomb Shelters known as Vaults and your life in the Vault is about to change forever...
*Gameplay* While the game has RPG Elements, when you encounter enemies, the battles are Turn Based as you must plan on how to spend your AP (Action Points) during your turn... *Shoots a Rat with a Pistol* These Rats are too easy but against other targets that use guns and weapons, you'll need to know when to fight and when to take cover to heal up.
Zenless Zero
In Zenless Zone Zero, get ready to sync up with your Bunny Drones as you enter the dangerous reaches of the Hallows and you DON'T want to go in alone as its infested dangerous monsters. You take the role of one of two Twin Siblings who operate a movie store which is a front for their Hacker Operations as Proxies. Thankfully, the Sibling you don't chose doesn't get discarded or Kidnapped and turned evil, but instead, acts as the Player's Navigator.
*Gameplay* Unlock your agents and prepare to dive into the Hallows. The more you level up your agents, the better you'll survive. *Counters* Watch for the monsters' Gleam Effect, then Counter! Both the Fairy AI & your Twin Sibling will point you in the Right Direction during the Main Story and Hallow Commissions, so pay attention and be sure to take notes for some of the puzzles!
