A decent point and click game, with a great story. The puzzles got a bit too much for me, about half-way through.
But it is a no-cost game and it has Steam trading cards, so why not add it to your library?
Played it on an Ubuntu Linux desktop with a mouse and keyboard. Used Steam's Proton compatibility software.

Best FMV game that I have ever played. The actors do such a great job, and the high-quality story might have been right out of a "black mirror" episode. The gameplay is a little wonky at times (like not showing the interference mini-game controls) but it is all certainly forgiven for the extras of game story replayability and interesting, comical video bits that can be reviewed between missions. I highly recommend this game to those who are looking for this kind of gameplay, even at the full price. I look forward to checking out the DLC extras, too.

Worked perfectly with Steam's Proton compatibility software, on an Ubuntu Linux desktop computer. I used the keyboard and mouse controls, and I had no technical issues.

Very long CGI movie with some occasional, jumping gameplay.
I guess that's what a sixty dollar game buys you these days.

Real fun 3-D platformer where you collect all the items. The level layout, characters, and world-building are all high-quality design. Even with the cutsie-kids vibe, there are still a few jumping and puzzle challenges. I appreciate the tinykin game mechanic and the no-violence idealism. Most important is that you get your money's worth even at full price. Played for hours and only finished the first of the expansive levels. And, there are even some content features to do after finishing the game campaign.

Played this through Steam's Proton compatibility software, with a gamepad controller and the Steam Deck. I had no technical issues.

A simple puzzle game with a lot of simple, unskippable dialogue and odd puzzle solutions. Most people will get Carto as part of a Humble Bundle, and so they will ignore this equally simple review.

This game has got some bugs that stop it from being as fun as it could be for a little indie game. For example, selling the ore does not always work and requires finding just the right spot to activate the button. Little problems like that compile to make the experience feel cheap and incomplete. I think there is potential for a fun couch co-op roguelite here, but it still needs some work.

This is a really fun, approachable couch co-op twin-stick shooter. It has a fun theme and lots of collectable items, upgradable skills, and unlockable characters, that encourages replaying earlier levels. It has rock-paper-scissor game mechanics that encourages the team to work together when fighting monsters, and it is fairly forgiving when players screw up. We have had a lot of laughs with this one, and it feels like we accomplished something, even when we only managed to unlock a hat of stun-resistance.

The gameplay surprised me and keeps drawing me back. Got it in a bundle, since I am not normally into zombie games. The rogue-lite way that the player is put on a suicide-mission to collect supplies and knowledge fits the game's theme so nicely. It feels really good building up the base depot through hard-fought battles or sneaking past a shambling horde. The designer did some really nice level design and enemy movement, so each moment feels fun and satisfying. I like the press-your-luck mechanism of deciding how much time to spend searching for loot locations.

Another game "Highway to Canada" is similar, but this one has better graphics, tighter controls, and no random "Oregon Trail" rando questions between levels. The full price of this game is expensive but I think it is worth it. There is a no-cost demo to try before you buy.

Played on an Ubuntu Linux computer and the Steam Deck, with gamepad controllers. I had no technical issues with the game or the Proton compatibiility software.

We are really having fun with this co-op base builder. It's got all the fun of building out an X-COM style base with light platforming ( and heavy humor ) instead of turn-based tactics. Just got started on it, but it seems well worth the money, as there seems to be a lot of content to yet unlock.

The developer has an extensive Itch.io page, with a lot of prototypes of their other ideas. Well worth checking it out. I enjoy seeing an indie developer who "throws a lot of spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks", before they put up something on the steam store for purchases.

Played with Steam's Proton compatibility software on the Steam Deck and Dock with two xbox-style gamepad controllers. Did not have any technical issues.
