I'd give Assemble with Care a solid 4/5. The story and voice acting felt a little flat and surface-level but the gameplay was extremely well done. I enjoyed tinkering around with the objects and figuring out how to fit everything back together. The puzzles don't get too complicated, so you'll never sit around frustrated.

The controls work exceptionally well on the Steam Deck, as well. The trackpads make using the screwdriver extremely easy and it's a perfect portable game to pick up for 5 minutes or 20 minutes.

Definitely give this game a go. It clocks in at around an hour and a half but it's very enjoyable.

Duck Detective plays out like a 50's detective thriller. The characters are written well, the voice acting is engaging, and the story is a lot of fun. The fill-in-the-blank style gameplay is a lot of fun, and the puzzles are the perfect difficulty to not be frustrating.

I highly recommend picking up Duck Detective: The Secret Salami even if you only get around 2 hours of gameplay.

What a ride this game was! The writing and voice acting make this an amazing and immersive experience. While it is essentially a walking simulator, it was never boring. The vistas and environment are so enjoyable that I just wanted to walk around and explore as much as possible.

I came into this game not knowing what to expect. I essentially came into it blind, even though I had heard such great things about the game. The story had me hooked from the minute the prologue began. The pacing held my attention and the splitting of days gave me something new to experience before I even had a chance to get bored.

This may be a game that is on the shorter side, but it is definitely worthwhile to experience what Firewatch has to offer!

This game has stuck with me since I’ve finished it. The story is absolutely enthralling and the set pieces and art direction is perfect. It really adds to the entire atmosphere of the game. I highly recommend Mouthwashing to anybody. It’s odd but it kept me coming back.

This is the first MMO I’ve ever been able to get into. I love exploring the map to earn experience before moving on to the next story content. I purchased all of the expansions during a sale and I haven’t even scratched the surface of the amount of content I received for $50. I love that this game doesn’t rely on FOMO and they’re not shoving windows in your face when you log in. It’s great to pick up for 15 minutes or endless hours with the way gameplay is set up. I look forward to putting in a lot more hours into the game!

I'm still in the early part of the game, but the amount of story and lore I have already experienced has been amazing. I would highly recommend everyone to play this game, even if it's with the "Story Only" mode enabled. Since it's using older D&D rules, the combat is a lot less forgiving and I feel like I'm relying on RNG more than skill.

This is probably the closest I have seen a game meet the quality of a movie or TV show. The story is extremely gripping and the gameplay loop is really satisfying. Whether you're sneaking around, running, shooting, or climbing, the controls feel tight. The story is a little "out there" but it's what you should expect from Hideo Kojima. I enjoyed the game throughout, though and I plan on continuing to play it even after the story is wrapped up.
