Early Access Review
Extremely repetitive, akin to mining coal.

Climb Forrest, Climb!
(In all seriousness I do highly reccomend this game. The maps are on a rotation and procedurally generated so you don't get bored easily).

This game taught me how to conduct psychological warfare against internet janitors.

This is the second game I have ever removed from my account.
Trolley Gold is shovelware, desiged purely for card farming and giving away on mass so its creators can gain some extra cash from the steam market.
Quality control is not censorship. This "thing" does not deserve a place on such a large platform and by allowing it valve is promoting this kind of egregious behavior.

Blackjack is more rigged than the last Russian election.

The only game I've ever asked steam to remove from my library.

Syberia is without a doubt my favourite game of all time, the story is beautifuly crafted, the visuals even now are just beautiful and gameplay honestly still holds up.
Despite this though it is a 15 year old game and I'm fairly sure the price has been sitting at 10$ or so for almost 10 years, I highly recommend you play it if you enjoy point and click adventure games with good stories and puzzles, however I suggest you buy it on sale.

I'm tentative to give CSGO a negative review as I have spent a considerable amount of time in it but I cannot abide by negative business practices.
Valve has stated they intend to replace CSGO with CS2, much like Overwatch was replaced with Overwatch 2.
We all bemoaned OW2 for its cash grab nature and title change despite being a glorified update and CS2 should be no different. It exists purely to facilitate Valve's lust for cash.
The most notable changes in CS2, aside from destroying game mechanics like spray patterns, all center around skins.
The inventory tab and new inventory system, new animations for inspecting the bomb and zues, skin visual updates, all the effort in this engine port seems to have been put into making skins look more appealing. None of the effort seems to have gone into core mechanics and stability.

*Edited
Overall the full release of CS2 has left me questioning why it is even a thing, it gutted the game. It completely removed Mac support, community servers, Demolition, Arms Race, Scouts Knives and Danger Zone.
There is persistent stuttering issues across every rig I've tried it on, having played this on my main rig, acer nitro 5 and about half a dozen pc bang rigs.
In addition to this stuttering I've noticed some memory leak issues, to top that off the overall movement and aiming is 100x worse than in CSGO, genuinely some of the worst movement I've ever seen outside of shovel ware.

Edit 2:
Arms race was added back, however other modes remain absent.
Every subsequent patch worsens performance significantly.
Seriously wtf was valve thinking, I've actually uninstalled CS.
