I originally bought this game for PlayStation 3 back in 2010. Who knows how much longer my PlayStation 3 will last, so I bought it here for my PC. It's still an amazing game which looks ridiculously good for a 13-year-old game. Split/Second is a fantastic game which deserves a sequel that it will never get. This game is still worth it at $20. This game is a gem with fantastic game play, music, and graphics. A classic.

Just so I can also mention one of my favorite things this game does, while it doesn't appear to have Steam achievements, it does have in-game achievements - and the "Sponsorship Stickers" on your car are your achievements! Just a gem of a game.

I'll be completely honest: I bought this game accidentally, thinking it was CryptArk. This has been a very happy accident, as I actually think I like Void Scrappers better! A wonderful little game well worth the price!

Simple to play but incredibly addictive and fun. Well worth the price!

It's Dark Souls.

It's Chrono Trigger. What else is there to say?

I love Skyrim.

After playing a few thousand hours on Switch, I came back to Warframe with the introduction - finally - of cross-save, which meant I could play my same save from Switch on any platform. The game remains incredible, with a core gameplay loop that feels wonderful, countless things to do, and deep customization of both stats and appearance (Fashionframe is the true PVP.)

That said, if you like using a controller, maybe don't play this version. The Steam version of Warframe has integrated Steam Input support, which in theory makes it so you can use any controller, but in practice was a huge mess. The steam input functionality made it a nightmare to remap things, because you had to remap them over each "mode" of the game. Even worse was the Void-forsaken on-screen keyboard. There is literally no way to disable the on-screen keyboard and use a controller with the steam version. It's impossible to ditch the Official Steam Input setup, controllers simply fail to work without it. I am disabled, and a controller is much easier for me than Keyboard & Mouse, so this was a dealbreaker.

THe on-screen keyboard interefered with a lot of things, but the biggest thing was trying to link mod setups in chat - it simply would not work no matter what I tried. My guess is that it's set up that way to ensure that Steam Deck users will be able to play, and that's understandable.

The solution I found was the install the Standalone Version of Warframe[www.warframe.com] from the official Warframe website, and run that as a Non-Steam game through Steam. You can even log on to the same PC account with that version.

The text of my original, positive review is:

This game is great. I played a few thousand hours on Switch before changing to PC. It's a lot more fun if you're willing to treat it like an MMO with a monthly fee, but you have have a good bit of fun for free, too.

I stand by that old review, but the Steam Input problems prompted me to write a new review.

Morrowind: Nothing Like It™!

This game is incredibly good, and the soundtrack is incredible!

Halo is... Halo. The great, the classic. A game from the before-times, when the world made sense.
