I really enjoyed the single mission and operations modes. Here, you can set up parameters however you want, from objectives and map type, to squad sizes and weapon firing modes. You can then set up one or two squads to take on the mission,…

There are a lot of multiplayer co-op cooking games out there, allowing you to get frustrated with your friends while you all work together to cook a dish. In Ominous Stew, you are not working together. As a matter of fact, you both are…
