Even though the E-truck is only available for quick jobs, it is still a nice addition to the game. Only problem is the battery life (fuel) cannot be recharged/replaced so it only has around 600 km of fuel , so no long distances for the E-truck.

Perhaps one day when EVs become dominant especially E-trucks in the world, then we have the option to buy them in game, and have charging stations/battery replacement.

It's free DLC so everyone has the option to drive it in game for a quick job.

Adds some new cargo to the game and an exclusive paint job. Completely optional but great if you want a new category of cargo in your deliveries.

Even though Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) made Left 4 Dead (L4D) obsolete by introducing new special infected, weapons, gameplay mechanics, and integrated the L4D campaign into it, although it is still fun to play the much simpler L4D. L4D defined the co-op shooter subgenre with fun gameplay, gave the playable characters memorable personalities and chemistry, iconic special infected their sound effects and music cues, highly replayable game design especially with friends. It is well optimized for PC considering it is a Valve Source engine game and was released back in 2008 so it can run smoothly on modern day PCs.

Some problems it has is the game is old but there are potential online players for online gameplay, and the bots are really dated due to not performing as good compared to human controlled characters or bots of newer games.

Only buy it if you want to complete your collection, and play with friends for the best experience, otherwise go straight to L4D2 due to being a direct upgrade in most cases to this game, albeit some minor gameplay differences.

Since it's release back in 2012, ETS2 has been getting a steady stream of updates that improve user experience, new content, community challenges through world of trucks, cross promotional events and more which shows SCS Software, the developer really cares about their game and their playerbase community.

At first, it is difficult to get used to since it simulates truck physics especially backing in with trailers but with enough practice and feeling, the game becomes relaxing and fun travelling the various European countries to deliver cargo, earn a steady stream of money through managing a company, and customising trucks mechanically and aesthetically to the player's desires.

Not only is ETS2 fun and relaxing, it can also be educational; it teaches that trucks are large vehicles and require high momentum/impulse to accelerate and decelerate, the speed limit depending on the country. The various European countries , city names, and words in their official languages, gas prices based on countries, geographical features, landmarks, locations and other aspects as well.

One downside is that the map expansions are sold separately as DLCs rather than free updates but the base game still gets updated, although it takes a while for countries to get graphical updates especially the United Kingdom. No offence or anything but the United Kingdom in this game looks really outdated and not having enough well known landmarks which makes it an eyesore to drive compared to the rest of mainland Europe. I still plan to buy the map expansions if it is worth the price such as during sales after going through the base game and current map expansions that I have.

TL;DR, if you like to drive to relax and have interest in European geography and culture, then this is the game for you.

Completely optional to the core game, this DLC lets players decorate their truck cabins with various objects, from bobbleheads, personal belongings, balls, foodstuffs, pillows and bedsheets. It makes the interior cabins feel cozier and personal which is fun to customize and look around while in cabin view. In real life, people cannot go decorate their vehicle interiors too much or else it will obstruct view and/or move around in the vehicle which is why it is fun in a video game.

Even though it's just a video game, a sandwich should not cost 999 euros unless it is made with the finest and most exotic ingredients on earth, or just the sheer size of the sandwich justifies the price.

On a side note, I appreciate SCS for giving all ETS2 owners free Rocket League DLC decorations of an RC car and ball which glows in the dark at night.

If you have played Dawn of War (2004) and it's expansions, do not expect the large scale battles and base building of the first installation, but rather smaller and micromanagement tactics for multiplayer. The campaign no longer has base building and is replaced with a more tactical RTS with an RPG and weapons and equipment system that allows different builds for different playstyles. The campaign is also playable in co-op which allows for easier micromanagement during gameplay albeit with good coordination and teamwork.

Dawn of War 2 just marked it's 15th anniversary, and received a major update to include Chaos Rising and Retribution and DLC in one package, even though Chaos Rising was included to DoW2 in a previous update. Although it sounds great in theory, it makes the entire package only a bit less expensive than buying them separately before. I applaud Relic Entertainment for updating Dawn of War 1 & 2 because those 2 games and expansions along with Company of Heroes series are the flagship games of Relic, Dawn of War 3 is hated by new and returning players because the developers did not know the core of what players love about DoW 1 & 2. and everyone who owns the games will receive a free update.

Because Relic updated one of their flagship titles, I hope one day a true DoW 1 and 2 remaster/remake will be released which actually gives long time players what they want. Maybe a proper remake of DoW 3 will be made that actually is faithful to the first 2 games, and perhaps a proper DoW 4.

Hope is the first step in the road to disappointment, but let hope become faith in the Emperor that he will help Relic give the players what they truly want, and restore them to and perhaps go beyond their former glory!

I played Euro Truck Simulator 2 before hopping onto this game, why? Because the learning curve was too steep for a beginner in ETS2 (at least for me) so I played Euro Truck Simulator (2008) as a stepping stone for ETS2. Compared to ETS2, it's more straightforward, not being as complicated and having the more traditional elements such as linear upgrade paths.

The graphics are dated, the gameplay loop gets repetitve faster than ETS2, and there is not many landmarks in the cities so it felt more of a chore than fun after going through the same city multiple times. On the topic of cities, only major cities are included which reflects how dated the game is.

Buy it only when you want to prepare yourself for ETS2 or you played it before and want some nostalgia, otherwise go straight to ETS2.

Do you remember your early childhood, specifically around the 3 to 5 year age bracket? Do you remember the simpler times when incoherent noises, colourful pictures, touching and smelling as all that mattered to you? If you played Amanita Design's other point and click games (Samorost, Machinarium, Botanicula, etc.) then you are familiar with the gameplay and design with the studio. The characters are uniquely drawn, puzzles to challenge your mind, no language and vocal percussion music are staples to Amanita Design's games but Chuchel is unique, Chuchel is more suited for toddlers and very young children rather than adults.

Perhaps Chuchel is best for adults who have young children to play during their free time as an introduction to Amanita Design's games to play later on as many people who bought the game also bought Amanita's other games as well.

The first game in the Postal series, it is violent and bloody, "Postal" meaning becoming agitated to the point of extreme aggression. The context, story, and gameplay is not for everyone, but does make a point how some people especially politicians and news outlets blame video games for violent crimes when it mostly comes from other major important factors such as stress from life, undiagnosed and untreated mental illness, financial problems, radicalisation, and other factors.

Despite the initial negative attention, and subsequent bans and ban lifts from various countries on Postal, developer Running With Scissors (RWS) still manage to develop sequels all the way to the 2020s while still being just as, if not more offensive. I like the how the sequels took another turn to become satirical of society and offensive games by putting violence, caricatures, toilet humour, drug use, bad behaviour as humourous and cranked it to 11 out of 10. Postal would never be released in today's social climate especially when social media attention and victim hood is integral to modern life.

P.S. Most of my hours was me leaving my computer on to run Postal to grind for the "Bulletstorm" achievement while I went to do other errands.

From the creators of Samorost and Machinarium comes Botanicula which is point and click game similar to the rest of Amanita Design's other games. The art-style, music consisting of non language vocal percussion, vocal sound effects, nature theme, interactive environment makes it signature of Amanita's game design. The lack of words except for menu interface consisting of only pictograms and "visual speech bubbles" allows for language barriers to be broken and understandable to everyone especially younger children due to the art-style and music. Some of the puzzles are frustrating to solve if you cannot wrap your head around it so don't be afraid to look up a guide if stuck.

The only replay value Botanicula provides would be creature cards to collect and achievements to collect.

Buy Botanicula during sales along with other Amanita Design's games because those are some of the most soulful and unique games of the point-and-click genre on Steam.
