A must-have sequel. 'Nuff said.

A must-have for any survival sandbox enjoyer. Great devs, great community, great gameplay, great with friends. Do not get this game if you're easily upset with the concept of dying. You will die. You will learn, and you will be faced with a sharp difficulty curve. Stick with it, and by god if you're still reading this - get the game. You clearly want it bad enough to be here.

Short, sweet, to the point, and free. What more could you need?

Be sure to check out the OreExcavator mod!

It's what it says on the box. A collection of the Classics of Kingdom Hearts, with the remixed and remastered content. All the original gameplay is still present, and it plays exactly like I remember it.

A must-have for nostalgia seekers.

Works as advertised, full body tracking via estimation. This is not a snake oil product, it can legitimately fool someone watching you that you have 4-6 trackers enabled. Worth the pickup if you don't intend to drop a bucket of cash on physical trackers.

Fun little game with some unique gimmicks, worth a play if you enjoy relaxing tycoon games. Similar to Volcanoids if that's a game you've enjoyed previously, or are looking for something similar that's more flushed out.

This game itself is a complete and well rounded concept. While not all that long, it is incredibly satisfying to play and complete. Worth a pickup if on sale or you have some extra cash to spend.

Derail Valley is a challenging yet satisfying simulation game that focuses more on the physical aspects of train engineering over the nuanced train-specific quirks and controls. It approaches trains in an equally complex but more generalised way, encouraging players to learn simplified real-world mechanics of trains like how pneumatic brakes are released, without needing to spend 10 minutes figuring out how to turn on a compressor pump to release them, or encouraging players to use handbrakes like one would realistically, because it also turns out be be the easiest function to access when needed. You can be on a train and moving within 3 minutes of loading a world.

There is genuine progression, and the player feels rewarded for their accomplishments and learning how to make their trains work for them, and how to realistically evaluate a train's abilities. What Derail Valley lacks in realism, it makes up for with an actually engaging and fun gameplay loop. The VR immersion is just the icing on the cake.

A worthy pickup if on sale or you have the extra capital to throw its way. Also time. This game is a huge time sync. You've been warned.

Astonishingly well-made game. Beautiful, engaging, and unique.

Sure it runs like ♥♥♥♥, but so does Minecraft. Never let that stop me from downloading 1000 mods and making things worse. I hate myself, and this game compliments that in more ways than one.

Joke's aside. I play on Steam Deck (both variants), and it performs well locked at 30 FPS, and a solid 60 on my PC. What more could you ask for from a game that looks and feels this damn good? Too bad I'm terrible at it.

An astonishingly well made game that dives into a lot of unique concepts. You don't need development experience to dive into this, or much networking experience at all. The game mostly holds your hand through the early stages until you're comfortable.

Truly an experience worth learning, and could translate into some loose real-life skills.
