Ghostrunner 2 builds on the adrenaline-pumping action of its predecessor with incredible finesse. The game retains its signature blend of cyberpunk aesthetics, parkour mechanics, and brutal combat while introducing meaningful upgrades to gameplay, visuals, and overall design. The expanded combat options, including vehicular sections like the motorcycle sequences, are thrilling and add variety without losing the original focus.

Some levels are more open, allowing for creative approaches to combat and traversal, which feel both immensely fun and refreshing. The difficulty is challenging yet fair, and the smooth learning curve makes mastering each stage deeply satisfying. The soundtrack, easily one of the best in gaming in my opinion, elevates every moment with its electrifying beats, perfectly amplifying the intensity and atmosphere of the cyberpunk world.

For fans of fast-paced action and cyberpunk settings, this sequel is a must-play.

The Planet Crafter is a fantastic survival and terraforming game that keeps you hooked from the start. The progression system is satisfying, as every small step, collecting resources, building structures, and upgrading equipment, leads to tangible changes in the environment. Watching the world shift from a lifeless wasteland to a thriving planet is nothing short of mesmerizing.

The game offers a perfect mix of exploration, strategy, and creativity to keep things interesting. It’s easy to lose hours experimenting with base layouts, discovering new biomes, and marveling at the beauty of your hard work. Additionally multiplayer/coop was added to the game and it works perfect, which adds even more fun and replayability to the game.

Easily the best detective open world game that lets you go do so many things and solve all kinds of cases.

It's already an amazing game, even though still in early access, I am truly looking forward to the updates and see what the devs plan for it.

Very hard but very fun game.

It probably has one of the best soundtracks, I love that genre of music (Synthwave sorta)

Enjoyed my playthrough and then I enjoyed the music from it afterwards on Spotify

Pew pew good (Steam Awards review!)

Among my recent favorite survival games, SCUM stands out for its engaging gameplay mechanics that keep you learning and hooked for hours. With its wide variety of things to do and strategies for survival, there's rarely a dull moment on the beautiful island. SCUM's graphics are stunning, and captivating attention to detail create an immersive and visually appealing experience, making every survival endeavor an exciting and fun adventure.

I love the radio and photo mode!

I love the blue chip!

If this is Overwatch 2, I am an AI.

It's barely even Overwatch 1.5, try again Blizzard...

The best zombie/survival game on the market currently.

Pros:
- There are so many things one can do in this game, the real question is "What can I NOT do in it?", especially if mods are considered.
- Mentioning mods...The game has an impressive modding community, there are a lot of amazingly good mods, which can add countless of hours to the playthroughs.
- The difficulty is customizable completely, you want The Walking Dead zombies? Possible. You want I am Legend zombies? Possible too. You want 28 Days Later zombies? Possible too! You want extra hard superhuman tank zombies? Possible. You want zombies to infect you by any means or just by one mean, or by nothing? Possible...So both casual and hardcore players can adjust the game however they like it.
- The map's massive and I like the variety of it, there are big forests, big cities, towns, villages...I played for 100+ hours and I still didn't explored it fully.
- Many gameplay styles, you can be an axe wielding slaughterer, a stealthy spec-ops kinda person that sneaks and stealth kills zombies, just your normal citizen that is great at cooking, a doctor that procures the various necessities to survive in the apocalypse...And so on, countless combinations.
- Multiplayer! Always fun to attempt surviving the apocalypse together with friends.
- Clearly laid out roadmap by the developers, we know already that the upcoming updates are going to be NPC system (recruitable/enemies) and Animals/Hunting. So there's a bright and fun future for the game.

Cons:
- Endgame can be a bit too "unfocused" and "purpose lacking", players need to set their own goals and closely follow them or they will wonder what to do next quite a lot.
- Small glitches here and there, most noticeable one that happens rarely is the zombies "raising" up from the ground very fast/instantaneous, which can end up very bad for a player if zombie manages to land a bite (no pun intended!)
