Once, I told myself never to touch a Souls game. Today, I promised myself I’ll never go hollow again.

Dollar is your 'game' if you enjoy hoarding free trash items like me. You get a drop every 30 minutes of idling, which most often results in a 0,03$ "Dollar". Sometimes, you may get lucky and receive a little more valuable items but don’t expect to become a Steam millionaire.

Also, don’t get fooled by the clicking 'feature' - it does absolutely nothing and won’t help you get better loot.

All in all, if you keep your PC/laptop launched all day every day, you may as well start grinding these sweet, sweet worthless Dollars like we do.

Oh, and don’t waste your dollar for Dollar - get it for free on the dev’s Discord.

Holy hell, this is undoubtedly one of the best tycoons in gaming history. I thought I had already reviewed this slice of heaven, but it seems I was too engrossed in the game itself to remember.

I imagine you already know why so many players love Game Dev Tycoon so I won't bore you with another review. Just let me remind you that you can always refund a game played for less than 2 hours and purchased within the last 2 weeks.

If you don't get hooked within those first 2 hours, there's a good chance that Game Dev Tycoon is not for you. Why not give it a shot for free?

Yet again the simplest concept proves to be the most entertaining. I came back to L4D after many years and I have a total blast, incomparable with any other modern title.

Two sets of guns, two kinds of throwables, one melee attack, a medkit, painkillers, and that’s it. It appears you don’t have to change or add to an already perfect design.

The other things that let L4D become a legendary title are REALLY memorable maps, along with the 4 main characters that could be easily starred in an A-class zombie movie. Also, the devs managed to create a great horror atmosphere that is no longer so characteristic in L4D2.

Overall, I think the first part remains unbeaten, whether compared to its sequel, or especially when it comes to Back 4 Blood - which I also enjoy in contrast to a lot of players but the simplicity of L4D wins it for me. It triggers this pure primal joy of brainless zombie killing in the very best way (pun intended).

This may be shocking to many but if you want to play L4D2, you can just… you know… play L4D2.

Obviously, it’s hard not to compare Back 4 Blood to Left 4 Dead as even the title and the game cover are meant to inform everyone that we’re dealing with a spiritual successor of the legendary coop zombie shooter.

In my opinion, B4B devs indeed haven’t managed to create as memorable characters, maps, and atmosphere as in L4D/L4D2. However, they have succeeded in many other fields.

B4B happens to be a lot deeper when it comes to the gameplay loop. There are a lot more weapons, throwables, and other special items. Almost all the weapons can be upgraded - even the melee ones - and the players can finally choose from a variety of scopes.

The infamous card system actually uncovers even more gameplay depth by enabling the players to experiment with a lot of different builds. Fortunately, hardcore min/maxing is not required to beat all the chapters, at least on the first two difficulty levels.

There is more to B2B, like the skull totem system or different character traits, but it won’t sound even half as good on paper as it is in the reality - or - in the actual gameplay, especially if you’re into coop games.

For around 5$ on sale, it’s hard not to recommend this title.

This game reminded me why I used to love single player titles so much.

It’s just pure fun and joy, everything is dosed in perfect proportions, and every element of the game actually makes sense. Even the collectibles - which I rather dislike as general - felt like a nice and compelling addition to the main gameplay loop.

Arkham Asylum may not be my favorite single player title ever, but is definitely super high in my private ranking. I also finished it in only two days which is probably my personal best.

It’s also worth noting that the whole trilogy comes super cheap when on a Steam sale, making it a nice deal even for the game collectors.

The whole game feels like it’s a super fair trade between the classic Hitman freedom of choice - when it comes to approaching different assassinations - and the story that Absolution wants to tell.

Both elements are shining like 47’s head - the gameplay is fun either way you approach the title, and the story smoothly goes along. Some missions are more linear than the other but almost all of them offer different scenarios to be played.

It’s worth mentioning that triggering the Rambo mode is totally valid for those who want to change Hitman into an action game. It just won’t be as rewarding and may feel too easy if not played on the hardest difficulty setting.

All in all, it’s still good old Hitman, and for some (including me) it’s the most enjoyable part in the whole franchise.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 should be actually prescribed as a stress-relief drug both for children and adults.

It’s one of those games that can’t be easily copied just by taking its idea and wrapping it in nice graphics. Maybe that’s why ETS 2 has basically no competition on Steam.

This is my first game with "overwhelmingly positive" reviews that I can't personally recommend. I used to play a lot of fighting games when I was a kid, and apart from the fun of competing against my buddies, I do remember the joy of unlocking new playable characters as a reward for completing different achievements. Do you remember Tekken 3 and unlocking Gon or Doctor Boskonovich? That's what I'm talking about.

I admit I could have done my homework and read about modern fighting game practices, instead of assuming that the character-unlocking system is AT LEAST AS FUN AS 20 F*CKING YEARS AGO. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the ONLY UNLOCKABLE CHARACTER IN MORTAL KOMBAT X IS SHINNOK AFTER YOU BEAT THE GAME. I'm not even sure you have to beat it as you can skip every fight.

Yes, you read it correctly and I sh*t you not - every combat in the so-called "story mode" can be skipped so the player can proceed to the next couple of absolutely non-engaging cutscenes. If you manage to watch them all, you get about 3, maybe 4 hours of gameplay, and that's it.

If you don't have buddies to play with because you're an adult now, have a wife and kid, and have little time to spare for games, MKX seems like a perfect choice for you, cause after said 3-4 hours the game doesn't have anything to offer anyway. Yeah, I know, there is some "Towers" mode where you can e.g. fight 10 enemies to unlock a skin (LMAO) but it's so boring that I won't even go into details.

Anyways, maybe it's just me being grumpy but after so many years of gaming evolution (and some revolutions in the so-called meantime) and after so many parts of the MK franchise, one could hope to find something revolutionary IN A F*CKING PART TEN of a game. What I have found is that I can buy two DLCs to unlock not all of the characters (LMAO pt 2), and that 3,5 hours of generic cutscenes is now called a "story mode".

While quite generic in terms of story and characters, Divinity: Original Sin is a really solid and enjoyable RPG title.

The developers decided to make some questionable choices, like having two player characters instead of one, but they don’t spoil the gameplay too much.

Divinity really shines when it comes to the player freedom of choice. The player is rarely taken by hand and is free to go almost anywhere from the start. As a result, it’s often possible to omit some steps of a quest and accomplish it faster (or just in a different way).

I also LOVE the fact that there are almost no essential characters - the player can even kill their companions if they decide so. Even though the main goal is obviously saving the world, the player can still make evil choices and murder innocent beings while on a path of achieving that goal.

I grabbed Divinity along with part 2 on some Steam sale - for a price that felt like stealing, considering the fact that both games can easily provide hundreds of hours of pure joy.
