    Other games I’ll add in to this:

    Cyberpunk 2077 - doesn’t really need an introduction, but you can play as a woman and the voice actress is incredible.

    Call of the Sea - Not a shooter but a puzzle game. Still a good game though with an interesting story and main character.

    Dishonoured 2 - Two selectable protags but Emily is canon and the story is written with her in mind.

    If you somehow haven’t picked up Control yet I this looks like a decent value “Control + some interesting bonus games” type of bundle. I’ve had Skin Deep and Severed Steel on my wishlist for a while and Nightmare Reaper looks decent (if you have friends). I played Wanted: Dead a few months ago but I would count its contribution towards the value of the bundle as $0, though if you do grab it you might as well try it.

      Nightmare reaper is more than decent and you don’t need friends. Coop was a much later added labor of love from the dev, who is also still adding mod tools as well. But, in the post-boom shoot revival era, NR is one of the stand outs in multiple ways. Most prominently to me is it is the only actually successful implementation of roguelike gameplay into the boom shoot formula, and I’ve tried several of the biggest names of those attempts. On top of the gameplay, this little indie game somehow snagged Andrew Hulshult for their soundtrack and not only did he not phone it in, but he dropped the absolute sickest of his metal beats for this game, and yes I’ve heard the Dusk soundtrack. Basically, if you’re a boom shoot fan and haven’t played NR, you’re missing out on one of the top tier neo-boom shoots and should fix that post haste.

    Skin Deep is a phenomenal little immersive sim and it’s not that long.

    I highly recommend it.
