Delisting CSGO is a bad move.

Official Modes and features from CSGO aren't in CS2.

CS2 is both more demanding to run for low end hardware, and doesn't support Mac OS (whatever niche there is for Mac players, deserve to play a game they have ownership of).

The mandatory switch to a new engine has killed an entire decade of community made maps and modes for no reason. Surf, Bunny Hop, Zombie Escape, etc. all gone. Valve's whole foundation is primarily built on mods, and Counter Strike itself is a mod for Half Life. How could they not see the writing on the wall to not do this?

Edit: Surf in CS2 is still broken, lol

I refuse to learn how to play Mahjong.

For their first time making a full-on survival horror game with immersive sim elements (prior games are first person horror adventure games), Frictional has outdone themselves with their efforts here. It's not Frictional's best story (that still goes to SOMA), but it's one of their best horror games.

The developers have done something brave and daring: Making a fun multiplayer game without micro transactions.

It has solid humor, cute artwork, and some casual positive representation of homosexual + non-binary individuals. It can be finished 100% in 2 hours (I accidentally deleted my progress right before the 100% mark, oops), which makes it a good way to spend an afternoon.

Check it out.

Note for Steam Deck Users: Valve lists this game as "verified" but Steam Deck has some issues with the game. Set the game to run in Linux Runtime (instead of Proton 7.0-6), and open the game from the Steam Deck Desktop mode (instead of the default boot-up gaming mode).

There are a lot of awful, soulless cash grab game remakes that show no love or understanding of the source material. This is not one of them. Resident Evil 4 Remake is perfect. Everything, down to the last minute details.

This isn't a replacement for one of the most important third person shooters of all time, but is a superb work in it's own right. An easy recommend to old fans and newcomers.

The gameplay, stability, and presentation of the game is where it struggles. Blacksad has gameplay issues when it comes to control and fundamental limitations of point and click adventure games (such as logic puzzles that don't expand on any established mechanics) and the bugs take a bit out of the experience (even while not being frequent).

A player's choices don't matter aside from flavor here and there. The game even throws in a lot of "false answer" dialogue choices that get Blacksad killed, forcing a retry.

The art style (while different from the comics) works, but has problems. In the comics, the poses / facial expressions could shift between subtle to larger than life, which gave it an identity (in addition to the physically painted coloring, shading, and lighting). In the game (likely a result of being on a lower budget), characters tend to have very stiff animation and automated looking lip syncing.

The soundtrack could've done with being more expanded as it's too limited. While the tracks work, the songs start to get used too frequently that an air of repetition sits in when combined with the length of the game.

But with that all being said, the story was solid. Enough that I would recommend the game to people who have a taste for randomly checking out niche games with some jank, or any Blacksad fan.

If you want to play a game that weaves story and gameplay in meaningful ways, this game is for you. An excellent cyberpunk game.

My short playtime is because I'm one of the people who got stuck with the Bethesda Launcher version by accident , before that shut down and everything was moved to Steam.


Doom Eternal is a mixed bag. It's combat design is refined to precision. It's very rare to see innovation in the AAA side of games, but Doom Eternal manages to patch over the flaws of 2016 to push the player towards mastery of it's mechanics. This is usually the kind of gameplay depth that's reserved for "hack and slash" games.

With that being said, it's also a game with rather poor level design: Every combat encounter feels exactly the same, making the experience on the whole repetitive, something which was already a problem with Doom 2016.

> Get locked in a room

> Kill demons in waves using every single tool in the kitchen

> Room unlocks

> Do some boring platforming

> Rinse repeat for the whole game.

The end result is that there is no level in Doom Eternal that really stands out. It's kind of an amorphous blob. It lacks what other great FPS games figured out decades ago, which spacing out variety through visuals, level design, and (sometimes) narrative motivation.

The Story is bad, in a very plain way. This game has a lot of lore with no reason to read it (you have to care about what's going on first). It feels like the writers spent most of their time writing about the story (the lore) rather than writing the story (the plot, the characters, etc.). I'm not gonna buy the excuse that story can't work with this kind of game, because that's exactly what Machine Games already accomplished with their Wolfenstein games (without pandering to an audience who'd rather watch a movie).

Is it good on a sale? Perhaps. At full price? No.

You're probably better off playing the original version on PC. It has less bugs, doesn't require going into the game files to turn back on cloth physics, and has better reported performance. You see that first screenshot on the store page where the main characters shoot up a diner? That scene has framerate drops that are borderline unplayable in "Definitive" Edition. Since you'll get the original version bundled with this version, this is more of a recommendation to play that version instead.

The game itself is pretty aged. The gameplay is very generic. Even by the standards of other early 2010's third person cover shooters, the gameplay is the bare minimum that could qualify as "passable."

The game has racism included for the sheer sake of being edgy. My problem isn't that the racism expressed isn't reflective of the time period, it's that there's nothing in the text or subtext of the story that supports an underlying theme. Unlike say... Mafia 3, the Red Dead Redemption Duology (all games published by Take Two), or the movies that inspired Mafia 2, the racism doesn't serve any narrative purpose.

Don't bother with the DLC as it's pretty bad, even Joe's Adventures falls off hard after the first few missions thanks to a bunch of filler content. There's the potential for a great game that's buried beneath a mountain of cut content and under cooked/underutilized game mechanics, even hardcore Mafia fans will attest to this.
