Never has a game made me care so strongly about the vehicle I'm using to move through the game world as Pacific Drive. In most games, your vehicle is disposable. You can craft a new one if it's destroyed, or steal one, or a new one literally gets air dropped to you in the middle of the battlefield, but not here.

The Car is your lifeline. The Car is your one hope of survival. The Car is your most valuable tool. You will literally die without the Car. All advancement and gains are, in some way, in service to the Car. I love this game, and how it's made me so invested in something that, in any other game, I'd take for granted as a simple way to get somewhere faster.

At the time of this review's writing in October of 2025, Helldivers 2 is in an abysmal technical state. Built upon a game engine that had support discontinued in 2018, each major update has made the game less stable. I have been having rather constant stuttering issues during gameplay, softlocks, missing audio, and other problems that have been impacting gameplay on a new system with high end hardware. Moreover, the game's bloated filesize is only a few GB shy of lapping the install size for *Baldur's Gate 3,* a fully voiced and cutscene heavy 50-100 hour RPG, while console install sizes for HD2 are a fraction of what I have to find harddrive space for.

Arrowhead has committed to putting content updates on pause in favor of focusing on the technical health and stability of the game, but in the short term I will be putting Helldivers onto the shelf until these issues are resolved. With any luck, this review will be revised later.

Absolver is a game unlike any other fighting game I've ever played before. It challenges you to adapt. To study your opponent. To evolve your own style of engagement and play. To experiment and innovate.

It is a beast like no other.

Truly one of the great stories of our time, if not of all time, Octodad is an allegorial tale about an individual who must hide his true self from a judgemental society lest he be shunned by those closest to him.

It's a story that we can all relate to, one of heartbreak, of pain, of unconditional love. This game's thrilling narrative will first move your mind, then your heart, and then your very soul. I, for one, was moved to tears several times, and feel moved to be a better, more accepting person after experiencing such a masterpiece of storytelling.

Easily the most addictive, visually unique and engaging free-to-play game I have played in a VERY long time.

If Asteroids and Audiosurf hooked up in the bathroom of a deadmau5 concert while high on ecstasy, nine months later they'd give birth to Beat Hazard, the bullet hell game in which seizure-inducing lights are weaponized into a laser cannon for the most psychedelic space battles ever witnessed.

Have you ever played a Tower Defense game and, near the end of a wave, had this *one guy* manage to get past all of your various turrets amidst all of the blood and carnage? Of course you have. We've all been there. Don't you wish there was a way for you to kill him right before he got to your nice, shiny base?

Welcome to Sanctum, where you can walk up to that guy and shove a rocket up his a** personally. And damn does it feel good doing it.

Super MNC is considerably more LoL-esque than it's predecessor, and I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not. The signs from the somewhat shaky transition from MNC's class-based DOTA hybrid gameplay to LoL in third person are still there and pretty obvious, and I can't help but think Uber made the change to cash in on a trend. Still, it's entertaining enough, and being Free-to-Play it's at least worth a try.

Let me be blunt for a second; of you're using Steam than you should *already own this game*. Period.

Probably the strangest game that I've ever played with a hell of a learing curve to boot, but the Void more than made up for it's difficulty in both uniqueness and style.
