Life is Strange is one of the best narrative adventure games, with its mesmerizing visuals, lovely soundtrack and amazing story. By taking my time to enjoy the game, I was able to finish a relaxing 17 hours for one walkthrough.

Story is compelling and keeps you hooked on what happens next. Although I found a slow start at the beginning of the story, it quickly became exciting and intense as you move forward. The choices matter A LOT, so choose wisely (or just go back in time, change your choices and see what happens next!)

The visuals and sound design are stunning in this game! Just like with most SQUARE ENIX games, I highly recommend playing with headphones or a good pair of speakers, so crank that volume up!

I seriously recommend this game to anybody, even non-gamers. I assure you it will be one of those games you wish you could experience for the first time again. Or you can replay it and make different decisions - your actions will have consequences. :p

Plays nicely on the Steam Deck OLED with the highest settings - just download and play.

Very challenging platformer that makes you want to smash your controller at times. Awesome art style and even better soundtrack. Definitely a must play game on the Steam Deck. Highly recommended.

To sum it up, great game and great interpretation of Kafka's works. Amazing soundtrack that brings the game's atmosphere to another level, so definitely play with headphones. I can't forget to mention the amazing Czech voice over with well-known actors which is just a cherry on top.
I can definitely recommend everybody to play this, plus it's completely free!
Plays nicely on the Steam Deck with trackpad and triggers - just install and play.

Quake Live has pretty much been my first introduction into the arena shooter genre and (actually) starting playing this game was probably the best decision I could've make in gaming since I starting playing on PC in 2012.

This game is one of the "rawest", "cleanest" and "smoothest" first person shooters I've ever played and I personally don't think any new game will be able to beat it. Overwatch 2 comes the closest in my opinion, but it's still many many miles behind this game (in terms of "purity"), not to mention it's a completely different shooter genre.

I bought this game back in 2020, but never truly played it. I downloaded the game and played a few clan arena (CA) matches, got pwned and uninstalled the game with no further interest in playing it. The year 2023 came around and I was already really bored of the current state of shooters and where they were heading, so my bored self started going through the endless library of games on Steam and found Quake Live (again). I downloaded the game and I started playing CA again (for real this time).

First few days were really rough. You are surrounded by veterans that have been playing this game since the 90s and have mastered everything. You will get pwned, but trust me, you will learn, everyone starts like that in this game. I was down to ~600 ELO according to QLStats (QLStats is a website/plugin for tracking player statistics. Most servers nowadays run this modification).

Learning, practicing and mostly dying later. I collected a bit over 50 hours and I managed to climb from 600 ELO to an average 1100 ELO. Even after getting over the 1000 ELO mark, this game challenges you, and it challenges you a lot.

Meet people, ask questions, they will always answer. It's (mostly) a great community (at least the CA one).

I'd like to link some YouTube videos, that have helped me improve in this game:

Keep practicing and you will eventually get there. This is THE FPS game. ;>

See you around.
