Fantastic Game. Amazing Detail, gameplay, content. Wonderful developers. Passionate, open, dedicated.

Edit: Sony has changed the PSN requirement to optional. Can fully recommend the game.

YOU HAVE DEFENDED OUR WAY OF LIFE!

The Forest is incredibly fun, espeically for a small group of friends, but really anywhere between 2-6 I think is ideal. If you like getting a group together to romp around and build to survive, it's hard to go wrong.

The game has its quirks, bugs.. but have been smoothed out over time. There's lots to do, build, explore, and experience. It's really fun seeing people's first time reactions to things, and hunting/hunted by the enemies. It's also very fun to stream, I think, for the same reasons builder-adventure type games are. It has a balance between overworld exploration-survival and 'dungeon'-like progression for items and story elements.

I look forward to the sequel, but the Forest is a fun game hands down, from start to end.

Golf with your friends. You have to play this with friends...hence, the name.

It's a great, fun, laughable time. I don't think I can think of anything to remove or add with this, really. Easy to use controls, fun to go through, every time I've played it it just works and it's been a blast.

I absolutely love LYNE. Easy to learn, difficult to master.

Creative game with ever-increasing and creative ways to finish the levels. It's simple-faced, but endlessly repeatable as a visual puzzle and logic game. Simple as that.

How have I not recommended Armello yet???

Incredibly fun for 1-4 players, a digital board game done right. It's cards, dice, and animals. Tons of unique ways to play, win, and reasonable DLC with additional aesthetics or characters. It has some really fun sound design, visual development, and stellar character design. The voices too, match very well, and overall has a fun level of polish.

It can be played solo, co-op or competitively, and very recommended to do so with friends.

I was really surprised by the enjoyable complexity of BWL, and the depth at which I ended up enjoying it. It's a very stylized city-builder, but where I got my satisfaction was optimizing trade and production routes, and the scaling challenges that come with a growing game world.

There's things I wish you could adjust, like HUD options or minor aesthetics, but overall it's already very customizable. You are continuously discovering new areas and planets, with new challenges and land types throughout the gameplay experience, and there's additional scenario modes to play through too, once the main game is completed.

It's satisfying in a way that allows you to balance out each island, each planet, and keep going to make bigger and ever-more surprising advancements in buildings and gameplay. I'd say highly recommended for those city-builder fans that want something a little different, more island-based like ANNO, but stylized and cartoony-fun, with sprinkled gameplay extras as opposed to realism.

(Note: get this cheap or free with other versions of newer ACs such as III or Origins)
You know, it's hard to pin AC:Liberation. On one hand, I can say it had some nice, unique settings, a few minor chuckles, a couple of memorable missions... but on the other hand, is that really the most you can ask for?

Nothing wrong with Aveline, she's actually a pretty decent character, and the main story is OK, while at times confusing and lacking much good supporting characters. I liked her 3-persona flip-flop but, didn't really use it outside of the main missions.

The environments are also just... OK. The swamp was kind of fun, and unique for an AC setting, as was portions of Nawlins and Mexico, but...again, not AS unique as I think they could've been. The movement between them is scattered and rough.

Overall, though, I didn't find it half bad, and it's quite short, under 10 hours, so.. would I recommend it? Sure, if you want to experience all of the ACs and get a few background story connections between III, IV, and Rogue. Otherwise, it's kind of skipabble. But for the purposes of this steam review, since I can only pick YES or NO, I'll go with the latter.

Do I recommend V Rising?
Yes, if you have a reliable Co-Op 2-6 person group.
Solo? Well...I don't know.

It has a lot of fun weapons and spells, but much of the time, when you're solo, you have to use the same "best" weapons and spells over and over, since everything relies on you alone. Co-Op you can be more relaxed and do fun stuff. But dying in this game solo is suuuch a huge pain and inconvenience that I've basically stopped late-game.

Grinding some of the later elements is very tedious, from simply transporting materials farmed, to crafting potions, repairing items, and researching new ones. Lots of grinding, and the tedium is just too much solo.

It doesn't help that while the combat is very fun, it's VERY difficult.. even just single enemies sometimes mid-to-late game, killed me repeatedly with ease. It's VERY difficult to recover health in combat, and even worse that non-boss ones chase you FOREVER.

It has a lot of fun things going for it, combat usually, building castles, and resource management, but it's SO much better with friends.

Big Pharma is part physical puzzle game ala Tetris, micromanagement, and strategy. It's satisfying, easy-to-learn, difficult-to-master gameplay makes it really open and engaging. I thought really highly of this game, with a lot of replayability when working through the story scenarios. Definitely recommended for fans of puzzle, management, and efficiency production-chain games, of which this has been one of the best I've played.

Great logical little puzzle game, similar to HexCells. If I had to describe it's like a minesweeper+battleship in a way. Got a good bit of hours out of it and with satisfying sounds and visuals.
