Remarkably shallow game. Frustrating building UI, confusing physics systems, dated lighting engine, lack of meaningful progression. I paid like $4.00 for this, so I'm not really at a loss, but I can't recommend the game. Certainly not at $25.

The bones of a fun game are here. It just feels like it's half finished. AI is whack, gun play feels awful, night vision is completely missing, and the visual bugs are rampant. I never played the Stalker games as a kid, but I enjoyed Drewski's videos of the Gamma modpack for the original games and I loved Escape From Tarkov, so I started my Stalker journey here. The opening mission of this game totally pulls you in and gets you pumped for the game. Then it's all downhill. I really hope this game gets some updates soon. I'd love to jump back in. But I wouldn't buy it as it is today.

Yeehaw Simulator 2018 might be in my Top 5 Games list. It's a stunningly gorgeous game that completely immerses you in an exaggerated American Wild West that is immensely compelling. I seriously cannot get enough of it.

Everything is great, but if I hear someone say, "Merlin's beard!" one more time, I will actually lose my sanity.

I have an i7-13700K, 32GB DDR5, and a GTX 1080. On Low settings, I get 29fps at 1440p. I cannot possibly recommend this game at that level of inefficiency.

This game gets a 7/10 from me. I had basically no fun by myself and strongly considered returning it. Then I played with friends. It's an entirely different game in the co-op experience. Easily in my top 20 for multiplayer co-op games. If you have 4+ friends to play this with, buy it. Absolute no-brainer. You'll still get some optimization issues (which is frustrating from a game with this level of graphical fidelity), but it's worth the struggle. I absolutely adore the physics-aware construction mechanics and would love to see a creative mode added so I can just play with building stuff.

[7/10] This is an outstanding implementation of virtual mini golf and it's worth every cent. Cross-platform multiplayer is an absolute godsend. Being able to play on my Vive while my wife is on her Quest 2 is incredible! There are only two things stopping this from being a 10/10. Workshop support for courses and player model customization items would make a huge difference and massively increase replay value. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this game.

This is a much cheaper and more accessible way to build model railroads. I'm awful at this game, but I keep coming back to it. YouTube creators like Biffa and Yumbl have completely hooked me. And my goodness what a community. Cities: Skylines easily has one of the kindest and most welcoming communities I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with. It's absolutely worth the buy.

Steam Link is a tremendous product for the money. I love being able to play PC games from my couch. I have 3 and use them all the time. I'd love to see a 4k 120Hz option soon. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

I'm totally addicted. This is just Factorio without resource management. Build to your heart's content. This game is a drug if you you like automating systems in games like Minecraft or Factorio.
