Quoting: fabertaweLiam - I have no idea how you review all these games and write it all up as well (so well), amazing!
Thanks for the kind words, truthfully, it requires utter dedication thanks to the people funding us via Patreon, Paypal, Liberapay and our affiliate links with GOG and Humble. Requires a lot of late nights and early mornings on top of funding, otherwise I wouldn't manage it.

Quoting: thoughtfulhippoThis looks like a clone of Minecraft. How are they going to get sued by Mojang/Microsoft?
Minecraft itself was based on another game. I always find it odd when I see comments like this. Block-based games have been around long before Minecraft.

The peaceful casual farming game 'Farm Together' has left Early Access

Quoting: Mango PuncherI bought this game just last night and when it launches I can hear the game audio and my menu interactions, however the entire screen is flickering with random colors. I reached out to the dev with no response so far, but if anyone has any advise for how to deal with this I'd like to know.
Did you try the workaround in the article?

Space sim 'Helium Rain' has left Early Access, code is open source

Quoting: Mountain ManI assume this is one of those cases where even though the source code is in the public domain, it's not possible to simply get the game for free?

Edit: Yep, just checked the GitHub page, and they make it clear that what's available in the repository is not actually the whole game but only select portions of code as a resource for other developers who are interested in learning the Unreal Engine.
The games source code is there, but the assets are not. Similar to how a lot of developers do it, so that they earn money still while allowing others to use the code.

Quoting: TheSHEEEPI've just had an update of Steam Play and it wiped my Dark Souls III save...
Thankfully, I had just started so it wasn't a big deal, but now I'm making manual backups when I stop session.
Such a thing really shouldn't happen.
Oh heck, make sure you report that to the github bug tracker [External Link]!

Sounds interesting, has a good few graphical features and general gameplay features not in Minecraft, an actual modding API and so on. Added to my list to keep track of.

Good first article! Had never heard of it :)
