Got one on sale and can easily say its a very good piece of hardware, setting it up was incredibly easy and quick and now I can play games from my PC upstairs while downstairs on the big TV! I have it running (both PC and Steam Link) on 5ghz wifi with no dropped frames and minimal lag at 1080p60 on the highest 'Beautiful' quality. Although I personally have had no issues I can imagine if using wifi on 2.4ghz or there exists tons of network congestion this option probably won't work that well.

The lag is present (the monitoring tool says 30ms), but is not a big deal and can get used to it very easily. For example I wouldn't be playing competitive Rocket League on it but most else this is no issue.

If I had a negative it is that you cannot use your PC while it is being streamed so a 2 gamers on 1 pc setup wouldn't work on this.

Nothing else to say really; works perfectly, very easy setup and can be bought very cheap on sale ($27 aud).

If you want a 'console experience' but don't want to/can't put up a seperate PC in the living room this is the next best thing.

Nice to get a demo on PC, so kudos.

If you don't know whether its worth the download; Its a demo of a Danganronpa game, and its exactly what you'd expect of one.

This game is great, grab a friend and solve puzzles together. Well optimized and free what more could you want? Great theme (horror isn't that scary especially with a buddy) and very much like Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes gameplay but more mysterious. I wish I owned a VR headset to play this in VR.

We managed to beat it in only an hour but it was a great hour of fun. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

It's the total war we know and love, but better optimized, more variety (each race plays very differently), and brings that epic feeling from the fantasy Warhammer universe. I don't even know what Warhammer is but having magic and lords and trolls and undead monsters and all that just makes the game feel that much better.

Mod support is from the steam workshop and works seemlessly.

If you've been out of total war for a few years (like me) this is the game to come back in with. If you've never heard of Total War this is a great game to start with. And I don't know anything about Warhammer lore but this game has it and the presentation is suberb. The sound assests and are great and don't feel canned like they have been in the past. Really helps with the immersion.

The 'Mostly Positive' reviews don't do the game justice, most were left due to being unable to start the game the first few hours of release, and that problem has been fixed. This game brings total war back to being a classic. Its just more fun to kill orcs and vampires than to kill historically accurate factions from irl history.

Best Use of A Farm Animal also.

On the cover it doesn't look like a very convincing sell to buy the game but trust me after you get past that and into your first few games it clicks instantly. It is really good. Competitive or Casual, fast-paced, rocket cars! There is a surprising amount of depth to what appears to be a relatively simple game.

The progression system is non-existant, your cars and upgrades are purely cosmetic and the only thing seperating you from your opponent or even the best superstars from day 1 is skill. Granted it will take dozens and hundreds of hours to build up that skill, but every game is a learning experience and each match you feel yourself improving. You see your opponent do some amazing trick and you learn to do it yourself over time. No microtransactions, levels, RNG, loadouts. It is so refreshing to see this in a modern game.

It is well optimized, has cross-platform play (so the matchmaking always finds a game) and is well presented. In stadiums you hear the crowd cheer, gasp, countdown as if it were a football match at the world championships, in the basketball mode you hear the stereotypical American announcer yelling SLAAAAMMM DUNK! when you score one. The atmosphere is great and the graphics while not mind blowing fit the theme well.

The devs have also been great, the DLC's are cosmetic items only and content patches and new modes come out often. An e-sports scene is also around for this game, I don't get into it personally, but I know lots of others love that sort of thing.

If you have a controller to play with, then get the game and enjoy! If you don't have a controller, buy one and then buy this game.

This game is suprisingly good and it is well worth buying, especially considering it is so cheap. Simple addictive gameplay and really good replayability 10/10 will keep playing.

Highly recommended. When I started playing, I wasn't sure whether this was a good game, but as I progressed, it grew on me and is now one of my favourite stories and games.
Very good, buy it, 9/10
