I mean, look at Silica and compare it COD or Battlefield. Smaller indie project, supported by a bigger publisher and filled with heart. It looks like a dream game from when I was a kid.

Battlezone meets Starcraft.

I'm not really up for adding more games to my library currently, and my gameplay preference has changes to co-op games over the years.

I did check out Silica and it reminds me of Natural Selection. An old mod for Half-Life which combined FPS and RTS. Really interesting to see old ideas still given new life and just another reason why I think games which allow modding is so great.

I agree, this looks a lot like Natural Selection. In case you didn't know, Natural Selection 2 exists and I believe still has a big enough community to find games.
