Balatro:
They say it is a card game, but really it is secretly a tool to keep people stuck in front of their computers losing all track of time.
(Real review: The game is great, the mechanics make sense, and unlocking things and winning feels satisfying). The UI works well on PC and Steam deck, I haven't tried the mobile version. One thing I would change is maybe adding more game play options.

Great game for keeping up when you are bored.

7 days to die is early access however that does not mean it is bad. The crafting system is deep, and the ability to destroy the world is pretty awesome. If you see it, you can destroy it, that is not a joke. The zombies are challenging. The injury system is a bit punishing(okay really, it's a lot punishing when you would rather take the xp penalty then be stuck with a broken/sprained arm for 30 minutes. ) The ability to make pretty much any weapon is pretty cool and the building system is pretty awesome, and rewards ingenuity. I would definitely recommend buying this game right now.

Valheim combines the best of certain games, while incorporating interesting game play mechanics(such as the buildings that don't have supports in the right places falling apart.)I haven't yet come across any crazy bugs, and I have already had 38 hours in the game yet I haven't beaten the second boss yet(I also have 4 different worlds that I play with different people!) I would recommend this game for anyone who likes survival/crafting type games that require some exploration!

If you don't care about the graphics, and are looking for some nostalgia, and a great story, this is a great game.

This is a great game, interesting social interactions, just beware of some trolly randoms. Still worth the 5$ and, you dont have to spend all day playing to have fun!

If you are looking for something to play to scratch the ARPG itch, I highly suggest this game. There are a few mods that are essential(IMHO) such as the synergies mod and it's loot counterpart. This game still worth playing even today.

The game play is great, the loot variability is pretty good, and there are lots of explosions...I'd be okay recommending this game to my friends.

Great game to let off some steam

A great RPG that stands the test of time, and probably will forever...
