I'm still doing my part!

When you hold Shift for the first time and realize it's probably the best audio-visual representation of the weight of a space marine in a game to date

Into the Breach lite, with surprisingly satisfying mechanics, gameplay and visuals! Took me only 5h to 100% it, but it was quality time.

The devs should be commended for a great Steam Deck support.

It's surprisingly immersive and terrifyingly addictive. It's cathartic seeing it get so popular after all this time.

ROCK AND STONE!

Quite an obscure game, unfortunately. Top noch effects and gamefeel makes me want to just build ships and fly them around, obliterating bots (or friends, but don't expect to find public games).

When it comes to party games, this is THE game I most often recommend and advocate for. It's easy enough to pick up, but has varied mechanics that lead to spectacular and hilarious moments, but also reward mastery and allow for very competitive matches. Essential.

Very smart design decisions, some decent depth to gameplay mechanics, great art and overall style. Probably the best sidescrolling co-op shooter on steam.

If you have answered at least one question with ''hell yea!" then you should strongly consider joining Helldivers.
