I miss those so much. Any modern games still playing with this concept? I remember Half Life had the bathroom, kitchen, and office, and I remember a backyard one in Quake 3 that was really cool.
There’s a survival game called Grounded that’s basically this but even smaller. And a coop story action/adventure called It Takes Two that does the same.
I’ve been playing through It Takes Two with my SO, such a great game. I’ll have to check out Grounded, 40% off right now.

It Takes Two is a great co-op (no singleplayer) game where you play two parents who are going to a divorce when they are turned into two dolls and need to find their way to their daughter while getting across their yard and house.
It’s really fun for couch co-op!
Man, this post brought me back memories of Unreal Tournament (and 2k4) and now I feel very nostalgic for all those custom maps and weapons. Used to spend so much time playing giant insta-gib deathmatches (and when I had all the time in my late-teens/early 20s). Wish that game is still supported.
What are your opinions on Xonotic? It’s a FPS that borrows many things from Quake and UT games, features a lot of modes and has an active online community, so I think it could provide a similar feel?
I used to play a ton of Quake 3 Rails only Instagib! I was hosting a Q3 server for a while not long ago, but just didn’t have the time to dedicate to it. Might be fun to spin up again. It would run 24/7 with bots so I’d just hop in and out during lunch downtime or something.
What a throwback.
Rat maps! Those were so fun back in the day. Some real good ones for CS and HL1.
de_rats good map!

There’s a freeware (open source but copyrighted art) shooter called World of Padman, that’s pretty much what you’re describing.
EDIT: You wanted “modern” but, it’s slightly less so. Sorry.
Wow, freeware. Now that is a blast from the past. Definitely gonna have to try that out, thanks!
I get old school Quake vibes from this. I love it.
I think it’s in some way based on a quake engine.
I played it years agon, maybe i need to try it again after all this time.
My kids showed me some Minecraft maps with that concept. Unfortunately I don’t know where they got them.
In the Thief: The Dark Project mission The Sword you can find a gigantic room.
Good old de_rats. I never saw something like that for other games, but brings up memories. I should install 1.6 again sometime…
It’s not a new game, but Chibi robo is entirely this concept
I fell in love with this game for that theme. It really felt like a Japanese take on Toy Story.
I love(d) them, too!
Maybe check out Tinykin, it’s great!
That looks awesome! So glad I made this thread! 😀
Came here to say Tinykin. Great game that nobody ever seems to talk about. Hard to recommend irl as well since the name makes it sound like a kid’s edutainment title or something.
You reminded me of Toy Commander for that sort of map design. Lots of memories of it on Dreamcast.
I remember playing it at a dreamcast display in a store. It was great.
This reminded me of the bedroom level of Twisted Metal 4. Loved driving around that map. Felt like I was a hotwheels car.
I haven’t actually played it yet, but HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed has been in my Steam library for ages. That looks like it may scratch your itch …
I really miss some “toy soliders” 3D shoot-em-up that I can just baaaaaaarely remember from the 1990s … does anybody remember the game I’m thinking about? (There was definitely a series, I distinctly recall the name ending in “2” …)
Army Men: Sarge’s Heroes 2? I played the shit out of that
Theres hypercharged: unboxed its oretty fun. Also some toy story games kinda scratch that itch for me
Did anyone else ever play Airfix Dogfighter? You got to fly model planes all through a house and break glass and stuff. Super fun times 😁
Grounded comes to mind
