Er... Excellent deckbuilder here. For fans of card games. You know, Magic: The Gathering and the like... cool retro graphics. No need to read up more about it, if you like the genre you will love this. Good chance you will like it even if card games are normally not your thing. (Please don't read more about it, just go in blind. Right now.)

What a delightful roguelite with an *amazing* soundtrack and art direction. Great way to make RNG fun.

An excellent third-person stealthy puzzle-solving murder sandbox game, which doesn't take itself too seriously -- 47's humorous quips are a key example. The maps in this game are such a joy to explore, some of the best level-building in the whole business. There's so much detail in each and every one of them, so many different ways to approach your targets.

Supremely replayable. Eagerly waiting for Hitman 3 to hit Steam.

Everyone knows Tetris, but many have never progressed beyond the surface level. The skill cap in this game is absurdly high, but playing it is still strangely relaxing rather than stressful. It's one of the best ways to "get into the zone" for a bit after a workday filled with Teams meetings etc.

I originally bought this for PS4 + PSVR but I decided to double dip to get unlocked framerates and being able to use my arcade stick controller.

Almost as good as Titanfall 2 in terms of movement and gunplay. Waiting for Titanfall 3...

Just revisited this gem of a game I first played through when it launched. Yep, it's still the best programming game from Zachtronics, among many worthy contenders. It has the early-internet-era Cyberpunk aesthetic nailed down perfectly, and an excellent soundtrack that keeps you in the right mental space.

The programming is real, just limited to a made-up assembly language which sets tight boundaries to the solution space. This is both necessary and fun! The bite-sized problems are all solvable without any real background in "real" programming or computer science -- the only benefit I got was being able nod knowingly every now and then.

The leaderboards are what makes Zachtronics' games stand out to me. Not because I'm especially competitive, but because they let me know there was still a way to go. Going back to a puzzle you already solved and really optimizing it to the last cycle is something I only rarely let myself do at work.

Bottom line: automatic buy for people who love code puzzles, but they already bought this. If you're on the fence and are even slightly curious, take the leap.

A wonderful, emotional experience. The gameplay is light platforming with some elements of metroidvania, greatly elevated by the atmosphere presented by the art and the soundtrack. Tells a great short story without saying a word.

Still really good after all these years. An essential purchase for any stealth fans, absolutely can't wait to dive into the DLC and rest of the series after finishing this.

Arkane Studios has become known for their *really* immersive games over the years, and Dishonored is where they perfected their craft. The level design is simply god-tier. There are so many ways to tackle the challenges in front of you. Another high point is audio; you can reliably use audio cues to get a sense of where people are. The story is gripping and you get drawn in right away. The graphics are just a little bit dated (this game uses Unreal Engine 3), but the art style is such that it holds up surprisingly well despite the years.

If you haven't played either Dishonored series or Prey, you owe it to yourself to buy this and give it a shot. All the games are often on sale together. Now is the perfect time to jump in before Arkane releases Deathloop.

The best Diabloesque roguelike I've ever played. Seems to have used its Early Access period really well; glad to be playing the finished product. Character design, art, music and voice acting are all top notch, even better than in other Supergiant games so far. Amazingly, it's also a roguelike with an actual story in it.

This is a faithful digital version of the familiar board game. What's really nice is cross-platform multiplayer; you can play against people who have the iOS or Android version of the game online.

(Unfortunately the Linux version has been abandoned; you can't join online games with it. Proton works really well, though.)
