TF2 is an absolutely stellar ride. No game has ever truly replicated what Valve has to offer. Allowing unrivalled community contribution and self expression through it's Source tool set solidifies the game's long lasting appeal.

With the bot problem suppressed I can now easily recommend the game again. So hop in as a lone wolf or group up with some buddies and have fun!

Still an absolutely stellar shooter even after all these years.

Superb remaster! Put many hours into the game on PS4, Switch and now will continue to do so through Steam. Cannot recommend enough!

One major caveat with the PC release is the constant internet connection requirement. While a recent patch has allowed Steam Deck users the ability to play entirely offline, using any other computer still requires a connection to the network which just sucks. Having that limitation at all feels arbitrary and puts the game's longevity into question. At least there is no Denuvo this time around.

You'd be doing yourself a major disservice by missing out on this game.

Oh man, this game is incompetent. I cannot help but be somewhat fascinated though, maybe it's the uniquely troubled development or how R.W.S. disowned this game or seeing the source engine at it's most unpolished. I sometimes find myself reinstalling just so I can remember what went wrong. Corey Cruise's performance as the dude is probably the best part, I'm glad they brought him back in later titles because he does do a good job.

Kudos to R.W.S though for patching out the dated ActControl DRM and attempting to allow the game to run on modern machines.

Despite the horrific butcher-job that the PC port is Saints Row 2 is still excellent. The game features memorable missions and activities, stellar player & vehicle customization, a nice variety of weapons to use, an engaging plot with a good blend of serious themes and comedic moments. I recommend the game but only if you are willing to go through with a lot of tinkering to get the game to function optimally. You can also hope and pray that the long awaited megapatch greenlit by the late Mike Watson is able to see a release.

Legendary game, possibly THE best level design in a retro FPS.
Absolutely recommended!

Neat game. Was very relaxed while painting, I can see myself coming back to this whenever I need to calm my nerves.
Looking forward to trying the full game.

Portal is one of the most unique games out there, the atmosphere and soundtrack make you feel cold, trapped and eerie. With moments that are insanely memorable, incredibly funny, and complete genius, there is no reason to not pick this game up.

Brilliant game, so many add-ons and servers available for such a low price (although games like Counter-Strike Source and Team Fortress 2 are completely recommended if you want the best experience in multiplayer)
Please get this game or you are missing out.
