Brighter Shores, As Told By Steam Reviews
21.11.2024
There aren’t too many MMORPGs that you can just throw up on a second monitor in the background while you watch Crunchyroll or zone out to your favorite podcast about foreign baking competitions. Most require your input as you quest, grind mobs, and run dungeons with random players you’ll never...

Life is Strange: Double Exposure, As Told By Steam Reviews
8.11.2024
The original Life is Strange, from developer Don’t Nod, launched as an episodic, story-driven adventure game published by Square Enix in 2015. That’s nearly a decade ago, surprisingly enough, and it’s making me feel old, as I remember seeing the previews and press screens of the game back in...
Red Dead Redemption Remaster, As Told By Steam Reviews
6.11.2024
