the game where dying is the least of your worries.

If there's more than a single instance in which I think, "shut up and let me do it" then you've made a bad game.

A must have.

A great little card game that's easy to learn and fun to play even for those not interested in the usual ccg. It has some weak points later on, but the overall theme keeps it together. Highly suggest checking it out.

NFTs?

No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thanks.

Don't bother. If you can manage to get the game to start, or to even play more than a few rounds of games without it crashing, you'll usually just end up facing off against players using cheats, or complaining about the messed up net code that grants high ping players the advantage. It's clear the developers are more concerned about the next skin release than they are about fixing bugs, as every release somehow either interrupts the flow of the game, or breaks it entirely. A large group of people haven't been able to even open the game since February, which is bonkers to me that you wouldn't immediately send out an emergency fix for. Again, don't bother. Find literally anything else to play.

A beautiful slow-paced adventure game where you explore a fantastical countryside while finding inspiration to paint. Eastshade is a mix of old adventure (Myst, King's Quest) and new adventure games (Elder Scrolls, or survival-genre), just with more painting and a lot less fighting. Be aware, there are still some bugs hidden about.

It's fantasy Left 4 Dead with loot drops and classes.

PROs
-Extreme customization
-Motion control
-Plug and play, even out of Big Picture
-Paddles

CONs
-Color buttons are too low
-Mouse control relies heavily on swiping
-Games aren't pre-built with the steam controller in mind. Effectively making the controller a glorified (and much easier to use) joy2key.

I do not recommend the controller for pin-point or fast-paced games, but it's just about perfect for anything else.

DO NOT BUY

I didn't think a game could get less interesting than Dayz early access.

If I didn't know any better (and maybe I don't), I would have guessed The WarZ renamed itself, again.

This game is mechanically geared towards pay to win, despite the developers explicitly saying that wasn't the goal. There's a serious drought in items to find, and when you do find them, they won't last long. I found 5-6 cans of food and ran through them within an HOUR of play time. Thankfully, due to the game still being broken, you're able to punch deer to death, and eat their raw meat without any repercussion. I can't imagine playing on a PvP server. I hear airdrops every 2 seconds on PvE.

Aside from the pay2win issues, the game is just outright boring. Especially PvE. Zombies are extremely broken, and sparse. They don't follow you, and often stand in place. I had to smack a zombie around a bit before it noticed me. Buildings are repetitious. You'll end up exploring the same home layout (decay and all) about a dozen times. The environment itself is an obvious "just put it on randomly generated smooth hills" design reminiscent of Oblivion, and then they plopped down a few rows of houses here and there. How it took them this long to craft an 8x8 map with so little detail is beyond me, and is hopefully not indicative of the end product.

Don't buy this. It's not worth playing even if it were free.
