Its still definitely a work in progress at the time of this review, but overall I really enjoy the game. There are a few quirks, but I have had an amazing time playing with friends. If you like Valheim this really reminds me of it. The developers have already added a lot of good content and they seem very committed, great game!

Absolutely amazing game,they even out did the first one by a long shot. the map and combat feel so nice and it works great on steam deck. totally recommend if you are a fan of souls like

Super fun game. I'm a huge DnD fan and have played the table top game for hundreds of hours. I could never imagine turning DnD into a video game but they really did it in the best way possible. I would totally recommend it.

Amazing game. Remedy never disappoints. It has some elements that felt similar to Half-Life and even this being my first time playing the game I felt a strong sense of nostalgia. Definitely worth giving it a shot!

They really turned this game around, Putting it on steam is already a major improvement. The graphics are sharper and it runs more smoothly. I really thought this game was dead but waiting until now to play again was the perfect strategy as there is now so much to do. The npcs are great and being able to play with friends is exactly what i wanted. The microtransactions are a bit much and can actually make this game pay to win which is really sad but if you are just looking for fun that you can get over it. While bugs still exist they seem to have repaired many of the game breaking ones and I am excited to see what is in store for this games future.

Truly a masterpeice, this is some of the best work ever done by From Software and its new mechanics mash perfectly with the familiar formula for a souls like game. The characters and story are magnificent and it is a must play if you are up for th challenge.

In what seems to be the quickest turn around for a valve game ever, the public received a new title in the Dota franchise. Named Dota underlords, this game is valves official take on the popular Dota 2 mod, Auto Chess. While obviously similar in style and core gameplay, this release sports a variety of features not seen in the original product. Where it stands Underlords is in closed beta, and the final product seems very promising. The short queue times makes it a more viable option than Riot’s release of team fight tactics and the ranked matchmaking makes it more replayable than the mod. This game makes it clear that valve learned their lesson from Artifact with very few issues to complain about. To start the game was released completely free on Steam as well as mobile. Which is another feature that sets it apart from other games in the genre. The ability to seamlessly switch between mobile and pc while in a match makes the game a great time passer whether you have to commute or are staying in for a session. The only current monetization method being through a, at the time unreleased, battle pass shows that this product is not here to take all your cash. The core mechanics are very addicting and easy to learn. The concept of each match consists of 8 players including yourself battling on chess-like boards with armies that you build and upgrade each match. At the start of each round, you are able to purchase heroes for your army with gold you earn by winning or losing a round. Losing a battle affects your health, and the goal is to be the last surviving player. Winning increases your rank for the season. This gameplay loop lends its self to both mobile and pc and does not seem to be superior on either platform. The games shine especially with tactical and strategic options. Heroes have synergies and classes and items can be collected throughout the round. Certain classes grant buffs and synergies counter each other in different ways. Every match plays out differently and there are many options you can utilize to win. If you are new to the auto chess genre many resources exist to teach you the game, such as youtube videos and written guides. Bot mode and a tutorial also exist within the game to teach you throughout playing. The only issues currently in the game have to do with bugs and balancing. However, this team works to put out updates nearly daily to fix these problems, and the game is in beta so this is to be expected. One of the best features about this project is how communicative and responsive the team for this game has been in creating it. They regularly make update posts and twitter responses. A large button is even featured on the main menu of the game for all players to submit their feedback directly to the team. Most if not all of the feedback is quickly addressed. Where it lacks in quality of life adjustments it makes up for in all other departments. And even though the surrounding lore is not a current focus, the team seems very willing to implement such items later in development. Overall the game is very fun whether or not you are a fan of Dota. You can learn the game and background without any prior knowledge, and watching your skill increase feels very rewarding. Competitive ranking features keep you coming back to the title and with no entry fee, there is nothing to lose by trying the game on your pc, smartphone, or tablet. It is clear the team at Valve cares a lot about this game and will be working hard to make sure it is the game everybody enjoys in light of the unfortunate failure of Artifact. Download Dota underlords now and try it yourself, the community is growing and it's a great one to get into.

While there are a few times that it can feel like a drag, overall this game is a boatload of fun and would reccomend anyone who needs to scratch a little bit of that portal action.

Good game, what more to say, its a free game thats alot of friends. It is similar to Risk with some twists. Download it and get a few friends and you will have a blast.

This game is alot of fun, athough in the beggining it had somewhat of a rough start, the team gained size and have turned everything around. Its great to see the progress that the team has made. They have been very good at keeping up with the community and fixing issues very quickly. It is a very fun game to pass the time and there are hours worth of things to do. I defintly recommend atleast giving this game a try, because i would say it was totally worth it. And i got it on day one ;)
