Back to Where It All Began
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
There was a time when the world felt simpler—when my biggest concern wasn’t work or responsibilities, but how to survive Cold War Crisis’s campaign without getting my entire squad wiped out. I spent entire days lost in this game as a kid, replaying missions over and over, trying new tactics, and when that wasn’t enough, I’d dive into the mission creator, crafting my own battles and scenarios, letting my imagination run wild.
Now, booting up ARMA: Cold War Assault all these years later, it’s like stepping into a time machine. The blocky graphics, the stiff animations, the radio chatter that I memorised line-for-line—it all comes rushing back. It’s not just a game; it’s a piece of my childhood. And despite all the advances in gaming, there’s something about this experience that still feels unmatched. The tension, the realism, the sheer unpredictability of every firefight—it’s just as gripping as it was back then.
For those of us who grew up with it, this isn’t just an old-school military sim. It’s a piece of history, a reminder of long summer afternoons spent planning the perfect ambush, of mission editor experiments gone horribly wrong, of that one botched stealth mission I swore I’d get right "just one more time."
11/10—because some games aren’t just games. They’re memories.
