as a huge fan of Superbrothers' previous audiovisual experience, Sword & Sworcery EP, JETT: The Far Shore was the only game to ever tempt me into getting a PS5, being in one of the system's earliest showcases. it was the only game that tempted me to buy a game on EGS. but i waited, and it came to Steam finally this year along with the second half of the game i didn't know was missing, Given Time, as well as many optimizations to make sure it runs well on the PC platform. i'm glad i waited, and i love the game, though i haven't played much of the second half still, as it's more open world, and i'm not as big a fan of that as most people, but for those who are, that's good news, i suppose. anyway, this game ended up being all i wanted and more, and a hugely more ambitious project than the devs' previous game, in very much a positive way!

also known as Armagetron Advanced, this game is an playable recreation of the Lightcycles sequence in the original Tron movie from 1982. as an open source fan project, i had many hours of fun with it before it came to Steam on my first laptop running Linux over a decade ago, it being one of the few good, easy to run (and free) games on the platform before Valve changed gaming on Linux forever. it's still quite fun, and absolutely worth checking out for an afternoon or something with friends. you can play online, over LAN, or as i originally enjoyed it with my friends, huddled around a single keyboard used to control up to 4 local players splitscreen. you can probably hook up multiple gamepads and map them with Steam Input nowadays though, if that's more your style. the settings are a bit weird to figure out by today's standards, but there are guides on Steam to help you with all that too if you need them. enjoy this piece of history!
