This game is awesome, and FREE! I'm an hour in now and i've only gotten as far as the weather room.

12 pretzels out of 10 enraged tigers.

Neat little point & click adventure game set in a sad and grim, yet beautiful created world with quite the amount of charm even without any spoken dialogue.

Well worth your time and money if you're into these kind of games, especially when on sale.

Simple; it's fun!

In my previous review of the game when it was still in early access I praised Astroneer for being an already complete feeling title even though it was in it's alpha stage at the time.

The full game has been released a little while back now and though quite a few things have been changed during it's developement it still doesn't feel like it's finished. It's actually still quite buggy, especially when playing online with friends. I hate to say it but I get the sense it got a bit rushed out the door near the end of it's developement, and I get why having seen Noclip's documentary.

Yet I would still like to recommend this little planet explorer, mostly because of its sereen style which keeps me coming back when I just want to wander around for a bit under the stars, collecting resources and trying to build a shuttle to reach said stars.
I do hope the devs aren't done with Astroneer after what happened with their friend and colleage and keep improving on what they have and adding to it, like a more streamlined toolset, better deformation control and little things like way markers, not to mention bug fixes.

For what it is (Shorts that cut in to the game and it's premise) it's not too bad, just don't expect a standalone episodic show.

It's like 'I Am Legend' , but with mechs and a monkey!


'Enslaved' has a solid storyline set in an intriguing post-apocalyptic landscape which is boosted by interesting characters who by the way have some of the best facial animations and expressions i've ever seen in a video-game apart from L.A. Noire. The world with it's fantastic looking backrounds makes you feel involved and part of it, and while the gameplay is fairly straightforward and isn't as exciting as done before in games like 'God of War' and 'Prince of Persia' titles in recent years, it is entertainning enough if you don't mind casual games. In the end it's the story and performances that really make this title shine.

Performance wise it's a bit rough on PC (read: rough port), with a few annoying hang-ups here and there, but in all it's a fantastic cinematic adventure. Just be sure to play it with a controller to get the best out of it, while the mouse can come in handy with the shooting parts of the game.

It's not a bad game, there is definitely some fun to be had here, but it never manages to rise above average. It's like a 3 out of 5 star Action movie that is just good enough to finish watching but didn't hit the sweet spot.

If you've finished the original game and you have nothing else to play and it's on sale that it should be fine, otherwise you can safely pass this one up, you won't miss anything.

I'm not to keen on free-to-play titles, no one here on Steam i reckon, but as a game Marvel Puzzle Quest is not too bad. It's quite fun actually.
Now i have read a lot of complaints about the free-to-play scheme and it more or less forcing you to spend money to progress, but the way i see it is that it gives you a fun time and when you run out of health you just take a break for a while. You can keep it free as long as you keep playing it casually.

If you're looking for a Bejuweled clone with a Marvel theme that is well implemented, though you can skip the story, then you'll have enough fun with Marvel Puzzle Quest.

How can a game so small be so much fun and addicting?
It does take some time to get in to but once you do you will be hooked.

If you are looking for a simple yet immersive little game with some strategy elements then FTL is definitely worth a try.

For a title that came out in 2004 it felt way to clunky. Maybe i was expecting too much after getting more in to turn-based strategy games due to X-Comm:EU, but 15 minutes in and i was already disliking the gameplay of Silent Storm. Did the controls and features really have to be that over-complicated?

Maybe it would have been more fun if i just sat through it all but i just didn't want to take that risk and possibly waste my time. It's fine if you did and you ended up enjoying it but personally i can't recommend it.
