Firewatch is excellent. An amazing, albeit short adventure. Even though it's merely a walking simulator, it has a very compelling story with well developed characters that had me hooked throughout the entire game. The dialogue is a very important element in the game and it was very well made in terms of creativity with excellent voice acting. The world is beautiful, drawn in a minimalistic style with a lovely atmosphere. It was very immersive - it really felt as if I was actually wandering through the wilderness of Wyoming. Truly a memorable experience.

Very cute game! Growing up, I have always loved co-op games and this is definitely one of the best cooperative games currently available. Despite the fact that there are many gameplay variety and mechanics, It Takes Two manages to handle just about every mechanic well. There were certainly some that weren't as fun compared to others, but they were all quite manageable.

Despite the fact that it is a cooperative game, there are a ton of optional minigames that pit you against your co-op partner. As a competitive person, it definitely scratched my competitive itch and it was extremely satisfying winning against my co-op partner in just about all of them :)

With an excellent art direction, memorable cast of characters, quirky sense of humor and a very enchanting adventure, I highly recommend this game if you have a co-op partner to play with!

I love this game. Cuphead's 1930s cartoon aesthetic is very charming and filled with life. This game is basically a run and gun action game primarily focused on boss battles. Each boss is unique and filled with personality. Ranging from a crying onion to a fire breathing dragon, you won't ever feel like any of them are being repeated. They are all designed beautifully and aesthetically, none of the "Hey I'm just the same as all the other guys but I just have a bigger health bar." Despite it being a 2D side-scroller, the game feels very alive and buttery smooth because just about everything is animated and filled with color.

The game can be quite challenging to those who are not familiar with the bullet hell and platformers genres. But if you can look past the difficulty, it can be very satisfying once you defeat a boss. You will die, a lot. If you can be patient and learn the bosses' attacks and patterns, you will succeed.

The soundtrack consists of 3 hours of original jazz, early big band, and ragtime music. Each song is played by live musicians, and each boss has their own theme that fits well with their character. It may not be for everyone though, especially if you don't like jazz.

Overall, I do recommend giving it a shot. It could just be your Cup of tea.

Beautiful story and incredible music. It had its quirky, funny moments, while still maintaining composure to tell a lovely emotionally complex story. Was definitely worth waiting over 6 years for this sequel.

I was definitely touched, seeing how much I could relate to it.

"Regrets... Yeah, I have a lot of those. But... that's okay. The chances I missed, the mishaps, and all that I wish I had... Well, they were all still a part of it... They made way for all I do have. And what I do have... I wouldn't trade for anything else in the world."

This game is beautiful. Amazing soundtrack with a touching story. The characters are remarkable albeit some are quirky (the talking onions), but I'm not saying that as a bad thing. The characters are distinct and each have their own personality.

This is not a typical game where you run around and kill stuff. It has a minimal, very easy gameplay (think To the Moon). While the gameplay elements are pretty straightforward for anyone to pickup quickly, there are some small challenges along the way.

I highly recommend playing through it just to experience the story as it is definitely an emotional ride. The soundtrack is also amazing as it ties the characters together and brings the world to life. Despite being an indie game, it definitely has surpassed my expectations.

Pretty good game with the exception of a very grindy career mode.

And there also seems to be a minor glitch. When I'm playing as or against John Cena I can't see him....

I have been looking forward to this game for about 3 years because I've been dying for a Harvest Moon-type game on the PC and Stardew Valley has absolutely met my expectations. I rarely ever buy a game on full price on Steam and this is one of the few I have bought on release.

Stardew Valley is essentially a really addicting farm simulator game on building and expanding your farm that you inherited from your grandfather. It also offers a very fun and challenging fishing minigame that takes a while to get used to, a fun mining and combat system of trying to reach all the way to the bottom of the mine for loot and treasure while fighting a good variety of monsters along the way. The social aspects are also great, you can become friends with the people in the town and may even marry someone and have children.

This game will provide hours and hours of fun and will keep you saying "just one more day..."

Friendzone simulator.

Pretty good game for hugging I guess.
