Good game with a rough PC port.

It’s a great shooter that has an engaging storyline and well-crafted characters. You can fix most of the issues with the graphics by using the launch command “-deependark” Graphics settings like to reset on reboots, so check before playing each time to make sure features haven’t turned themselves off. Despite its technical issues, I would still recommend the game, however, since it’s often very cheap during Steam sales and an overall enjoyable experience.

It's the best puzzle game ever made, just with better graphics.
Check it out if you have an expensive GPU. (Runs good at 1440p on the 4070 Super)

As everyone knows, the first three Halo games are the best FPS games ever made.
This collection is a serviceable compilation of all of these titles complete with unlockables, working multiplayer, and steam workshop.
Nothing else in the industry even comes close to this, and for 10 dollars on sale it's an unbeatable price too.

This is the kind of game I play games for.
Extremely artful, drenched in aesthetic, and packed with obscured lore and meaning.
Psychopomp is up there with the best games released this year, 100%.

Play this as soon as you can.

These games are just as fun and full of joy as they were when I first played them in the 90s.

Katamari is like if pure joy was distilled and sold as a video game.

I still remember cool 2015 nights watching the prerelease marketing for this game and getting super excited; I finally played it 9 years later in 2024 and it’s everything I hoped it would be back then and maybe a little more.

This game is big in a couple ways: firstly and most obviously the game world is just impossibly large, they do a great deal to make sure that exploring it feels like an adventure too, by giving you the names and the dates when systems and planets were discovered by other players, it gives you a feeling of permanence to the places you visit. On the other hand when you are in systems or on planets that haven’t been explored yet it really does feel you’re in uncharted territory, leaving your mark on the game’s universe.

Secondly there are lots of systems in the game and mechanics to play with. There’s all sorts of stuff you can do that the game throws at you. Running your freighter, managing planetary colonies, doing expeditions, or building ships. There’s always something on the side to do, and that’s without counting the in game quests and getting to the center of the galaxy.

All of these interactive systems mean there is always some task to do.
This keeps the gameplay from getting boring because

No Mans Sky gives the player a LOT of agency over how you do all this stuff!

Having agency over all these big systems combined with the huge universe gives the game a huge sense of freedom that makes it nearly impossible for me to put it down!!

Absolutely banger game, that updates have turned into gold.
They've put care into the tech too, it's well optimized; runs flawlessly on Steam Deck!

This game is outstanding! It’s a lil fan game but it feels like a proper mega man. Thats not to say it doesn’t play to its strengths though. There is so much Kemono Friends appeal here too! It features fan favorite characters extensively and hides a beloved duo around the levels for you to find, often doing cute animations too. Speaking of the animations the presentation is full of life everywhere! For example, when Serval respawns she does a lil pose like “I’m back!” thats kinda how the entire experience feels; A lot of attention was paid to the little details and it shines through in the final product. The music is also an absolute treat. Lots of powerful melodies presented in that beloved NES Mega Man-eque style. It’s a good enough OST that I’m going to go back and listen to it when I’m not playing the game.

This is a niche game, to be frank, but if you are on this page you are probably its target demographic anyways.

It’s totally free, do yourself a favor and install it!

Celeste is one of the finest platformers ever made.
Make sure to play this game, it's a gem.

Lunacid is one of the best games I’ve ever played on Steam.

The game starts up with an outstanding cutscene and a nice character creator that lets you use custom pics, and then you get to the actual gameplay. Instantly the style and the tone of the game is just so strong! The stylized PS1 visuals look striking and unique and you are hit with a super atmospheric dungeon synth / dark ambient kind of track that carries this kind of sombre hopeful feeling to it. The entire aesthetic is extremely strong throughout the whole game. This carries over to the character designs and monster designs too. The friendly characters in the game all have unique designs & great care has been taken to make them likable and also have mysterious backstories that you have to dig a bit to figure out.

Lots of care has been put into the other parts of the game as well. Theres lots of little things that may surprise you. There is an entire system in the game that makes magic more powerful based on how full the moon is IRL! This is an extremely unique feature for a game, I can’t think of any other game that has done something like this! There are some other things done with the real time clock but I won’t spoil them for you.

The story and the lore of the world is given to you in little bits here and there, and the game often leaves you to draw your own conclusions about things. The choice to deliver the plot like this makes the world more mysterious and finding out new things is more exciting, there are lots of little things that aren’t even on the wiki or anything yet!

Lunacid offers multiple ways to play as well offering different classes you can pick at character creation that changes up the gameplay. Theres an expansive list of weapons and spells to play around with as well; Lots of replayability here!

I strongly urge you to buy Lunacid if you’ve any interest in it. If you like the dungeon crawling in games like Oblivion or Morrowind it’s an easy recommendation. The game also runs flawlessly on Steam Deck, fully deck verified!

Give Lunacid a try, it’s is a magical experience that you can take with you into the waking world.
