I have delivered many packages, upgraded many buildings, fought many MULES, and stopped at nothing to rebuild America.

This game is good. Buy it. Buy it now.

It's a great game if you love puzzles and platforming.

Make no mistake that is NOT for the faint of heart because it will probably increase your blood pressure.

There are some ciphers you need to solve in order to actually win. Good luck.

It's a great game, a neat little indie horror title.

If you have a fear of the ocean, or a fear of the unknown, this game is a great way to try to conquer your fears.

I'm not sure what to think about the plot, but it's passable. There are ways to query the computer for information about your situation, but it can be difficult to ask the computer things if you have no clue what to ask.

The controls are relatively good. Moving the submarine feels like this odd coordinate based movement system, all the while trying to avoid running into solid objects. You will occasionally get some unexpected surprises while moving around the "blood ocean".

The game certainly opens up questions but doesn't really answer many of them; though I believe this game is designed purely for the experience. If you think about the nature of the game world or the universe that "Iron Lung" takes place in, you'll be left mildly confused.

It's incredibly short, though. If you buy this game, don't expect an extremely long-term experience. You can realistically complete the game in a single playthrough in less than 2-4 hours if you want. That was maybe the only really disappointing part.

I've loved this game since it first came out. I actually played it back on the XBox a long time ago, and I knew I had to get it again on Steam.

It has aged surprisingly well. The plot is very compelling despite the fact that there are times when it contradicts itself or completely breaks the known laws of physics, much like the multiplayer. It has memorable characters that will stand out in your mind and probably remain with you for the rest of your natural life.

The graphics are still good even after all these years, if slightly rough because of the technical limitations at the time. The audio is crisp and intense, really keeps you engaged. The voice acting is really at the height of gaming to the point of being almost mythical. There are scenes so quotable you might be compelled to look them up on YouTube.

It. Is. Amazing.

It's great watching NPCs get vaporized by a radio playing a song about a sentry.

You flippa da knife.

It's a great game, logged many hours into it.

It has some obvious flaws and some unresolved bugs, but there's still a lot of value to be had here.

Stability mods highly recommended.

Risk of Rain is a brilliant fusion of traditional roguelike elements and third person shooter elements.

It possesses a mixture of attributes you just won't see in just about any other game; and that's what makes it highly unique and enjoyable. It's not hard to figure out what kind of character playstyle you favor, building a approach that works, and eventually facing off with the final boss (before realizing that you took too long getting there.)

You will get your butt kicked a lot. It will be brutal. But I promise that if you're the sort of person that really enjoys a challenge, this will be a favorable outcome to you. You will edge closer and closer to your eventual victory.

Most importantly this game is gorgeous. If you love Cel shaded graphics and dramatic visual experiences, it's hard to go wrong here. There has been a lot of design and care put into this game.

So go give it a try and figure out how you feel about it!

This is probably one of the best platformers of the past decade.

Celeste is a game with a charming atmosphere, outstanding soundtrack, and top notch gameplay.
The controls are buttery smooth and responsive. If you really struggle with the game for whatever reason, you can turn on Assist Mode and still enjoy the game experience with less of a struggle.

I cannot think of any reason not to buy this game unless you feel like you cannot "handle" it because of it's difficulty. If you haven't already purchased and played this game by now, you are really missing out.

Asesprite is quickly becoming an industry standard for Indie Game Development.

I can easily see why; it's intuitive design and myriad of functional tools make it extremely useful for getting pixel art done in a pleasing and relatively quick manner. It even has some tools for pixel art that one might not think about, such as "pixel scrambling" that allows for old fashioned style Matrix gradients and pixelated seperations of normally organized lines.

This program is a must if you are curious about getting into pixel art.
