Half-Life 2:Lost Coast is about a deleted scene of Half Life 2. There are pre-recordings of Valve employees working on the Source engine and what they were trying to shape the Source Engine into. I recommend this game to anyone who is a big fan of the Half-Life series, likes video game documentaries, and wants to know information regarding the source engine.

P.S. This Video Game Documentary comes free with Orange Box.

This game is one of Valve's best creations yet. Over 10 years old but gameplay still feels fresh and unique since no other game can do that without being called for cloning. Puzzles are fun to solve, story is linear but is in universe with the Half-Life series so many theories are still being unsolved. You have a portal gun and you use it to solve puzzles which is really fun and unique. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes unique puzzle games, and First person perspective games because this game is all about those two. This game is very cheap when it is on sale so usually 90% off so 1 dollar for so much fun and a unique experience is definitely worth buying at least in my opinion.

So this is the PC port of a game meant to build hype for the long anticipated Fallout 4 back in 2015. This game is really fun, addicting and rewarding to level up your dwellers and expand your vault. The gameplay was originally meant for mobile but still fun on PC. The game is one of those games where you have to use a currency to speed up process, so if you are fine with games that do that(such as Clash of Clans or any other popular mobile game), then you are welcomed to play. System requirements are not high so you can play this on a generic work computer. Highly recommend this game to anyone who likes base building, Fallout series, role-play, mobile. It's also F2P too so all the F2P gamers who like Fallout series can have this game.

This is the game that introduced the world to a whole new subgenre of FPS. This game may have outdated graphics but remains an amazing classic with many people still playing the game even though it was release back in 1999.Since it's an old game, you can play it on the most potato/toaster computer you can play. The game may have a high skill ceiling but still fun and addictive to play. This game remains unchanged from the last version; 1.6 so no nerfs, buffs, removals, etc. The community is dedicated with many people who still played it since it's legacy, and they are surprisingly not toxic at all compared to global offensive. I recommend this game if you are a diehard Counter Strike fan or you like to play classic multiplayer games.

This game is the prequel to GSC game world's flawed masterpiece; S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. THe setting takes place in an alternate timeline where the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine had a second disaster in the year 2006 which turns the surrounding around into the zone. It follows a mercenary named Scar who survives two emmission waves caused by the zone. Gameplay and graphics are improved from Shadow of CHernobyl. YOu can now join factions and the items feel more satysfying. Enemies are relentless and can kill you instantly if you don't pay attention. Upgrading your weapons and armour is satisfying. It's an old game made in 2008 so using an average work computer can run smoothly with maximum graphics. The only things dragging the game down is the piles of glitches and bugs in the game. And the ending was rushed and was bland but the rest of the story is rich. overall, I recommend this game to anybody who likes a difficult challenge, RPG elements, post-apocalyptic, eastern european culture. It's really fun and enjoyable with high replay value.

One of the best Call of Duty games in the franchise. This game takes place both in the pacific and eastern fronts of world war 2. The weapons in the game are fun to shoot and makes realistic satisfying sounds. This game has many easter eggs, and introduced zombies mode into Call of Duty. The characters are well written and campaign is fun and satisfying to play. MUltiplayer is fun but is almost dead since most people are not playing it. The setting of the game is dark, depressing, and chaotic which Call of Duty WW2 didn't do as WAW. OST is the best of the series being fitting to the setting, and is great to listen to. I recommend this game to anyone who likes COD series and loves to play with friends so they can play multiplayer zombies together.

This game is Valve's attempt at a Counter Strike only with Half Life. Sounds amazing on paper but terrible on reality. Half-Life's guns are OP in general so people could just run and gun with the crossbow, with the pulse rifle's combine balls etc. The game is already dead, and the remaining servers lag so much. I do not recommend this game if you want a robust multiplayer game. If you want one, I recommend Valve's Counter-Strike series.

First of all, I like Half-Life, both the goldsrc original and it's expansions, and source engine Half Life as well. The gameplay was the best of it's time respectively for all games. Deathmatch on the other hand however in my opinion isn't really as good as other games in the series. Goldsrc Half-Life Deathmatch was actually really good because of it's fluid combat such as fast movement speed, and well balanced weapons. Half Life 2 Deathmatch was slower and had OP weapons such as gravity gun and other instant kill weapons. The only people playing the game are pros in rare servers so newcomers are unwelcomed.

Valve, if you are going back to working on the Half Life series, please do until you give us a well deserved ending.

When I first heared of TF2, I had to play it, but it was only on steam so I set a steam account for myself. It was F2P when I first heard of it, so I did not have to spend a single penny, It was the most addictive game I ever played, I played it every morning, it is super fantastic. The gameplay is fast, it's fun, it's original. There 9 classes with different stats, abilities, wapons and hats, don't forget hats. The updates on this game are really exciting, fixing bugs, new weapons, maps, hats, etc. If you truely want to experience TF2, you must spend some money to do so.Anyways, since TF2 is F2P, so the community is one of the biggest in Steam. expect alot of F2P kids who yammer on the mike, and take the game too seriously even though it's a casual game. The gamemodes are original such as the payload mode, Mann vs. Machine, Control Points. Some non-official gamemodes are popular in TF2, such as x10 where weapon stats are multiplied by 10, vs Saxton Hale mode, a mode where a team fights against a boss which is a randomly selected player to play as Saxton Hale or some other boss such as the easter bunny, Christian Brutal Sniper, Painis Cupcake, the Vagineer, Bonk Boy, Demopan etc. Anyways TF2 is really fun, it's still a thing especially the game is over 10 years old now. Anyways play the game, in my opinion, a Steam user is not a real steam user until they've played TF2. If Steam had one game to represent itself, TF2 would be the choice.

Valve, it has been 2 years since TF2's last major update not including Christmas, Halloween, season events, and various patches. Please release a new update and fix the unusual hat inflation problem as well.

21/11/2023 Update

For the first time in 6 years, TF2 has finally received a major update that added Vs. Saxton Hale as an official gamemode but I prefer the community version better.
Still waiting for the heavy update though.

I was peer pressured by my friends, everyone who owns this game , and Valve because if there was one game to represent Steam and/or Valve, (it used to be Half Life 2) it would be this game. The community is one of the largest on Steam, despite it's toxicity and competative community. The gameplay is fast paced, and frightening. It's a tactical shooter meaning you have to be careful of everymove you make; buying weapons and gear, sneaking around, using your weapons and gear etc. The game may have aged somewhat bad, but the gameplay is still timeless and valve still updates it. It's one of the most addictive games out there, some people have over thousands of hours total. Last but not least, weapon skins. If it weren't for the skins, CS:GO would be dead a long time ago. Skins don't change gameplay so CS:GO is never pay-to-win, if you are cheap, you will grind alot of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, drops, but if you are rich, you will be buying pricey skins from the market, or buy truckloads of keys to unbox skins, maybe a knife, BTW knives in CS:GO worth at least 10 times what real knives worth. Just remeber, if you don't want to hear kids raging and swearing at you, do yourself a favor and mut the player, and people will be kicking many other people for no reason (most of the time).

Have fun, and stay away from being toxic too.

This game is an absolute masterpiece of 4A games. Based on the book by a russian author. This game is fantastic, the mosters, the post-apocalyptic background is amazing! It's like being in an actual radioactive Moscow. The weapons are really creative, the setting of underground civil war is really thought through. The mutants have really greative design. The gameplay is distinguishable from other FPS. The Only real problem with this game is you earn morale points by hearing speech, avoiding enemies, and stuff which the average person needs. Same for the next game in the series except this one, the bad ending is also the canonical ending which doesn't put alot of stress in getting moral points if you came for the story.

Anyways, I highly reccomend, it's worth your money, and your time.
