Quoting: tuubiThe game is aesthetically very pleasing, but I just couldn't push myself to finish it. I guess I simply wasn't having fun. Couldn't say why exactly. On paper the game should be right up my alley.

I had a similar problem with my very first experience of Transistor too. I think I was just expecting more Bastion and it... isn't. Also, the depth of customisation didn't strike me on my first run and I was finding some of the battles extremely challenging.

My second experience though was much more positive and I've completed this one around four times now. I just keep coming back to it.

I'm too lazy to check (and not convinced I'd understand it if I did), but I wonder if this in any way impacts the "to do" list that the "Edge of Eternity" devs compiled for Unity...

I love the look of this. The mix of RTS, base building and action... yep. Keeping an eye on this, definitely.

I do like how Rust looks. Just a shame it's mainly PVP... just not my thing.

Steam's trying to sell games, I get it. But it really annoys me that their "recently posted" section features 9 negative reviews, but the overall rating is "mostly positive"??

Even the positive reviews note game-breaking bugs, performance issues after 20 hours and AI that just doesn't work. Really weird and frustrating when I see such negativity summed up by Steam as mostly positive.

Looks pretty sweet. Might have to dip into this while I wait for 7 Days to Die Alpha 17!

Quoting: KelsYou mention that the writing is top-notch, and the plot is amazing. But you don't seem to say much of anything about what the plot is actually about. Lots of superlatives about it, but that's all. It feels a little like being told about wonderful graphics but not being shown any screenshots.

It's true and that was on purpose. Honestly, the game is so short that I could ruin it in about 30 words! I suppose I'm over-reacting though - I could have done a better job to summarise. As I say in the article, you're a super-spy/detective dude who witnesses, and is pulled into, a murder and the subsequent consequences of the actions he takes to ensure that he isn't accused of that murder.

As for the superlatives - this is PIN! I'm going to rave about every game I put in this series!! :)

Quoting: 14This looks very promising. I hope it comes to Linux. I have to be honest and say that this game made me think of Astroneer every second, which has already been confirmed for Linux in Q2, 2018. I'm also looking forward to that one.

Bear in mind that they've pushed the release date into Q3, clarifying that work would begin in Q2 2018, which caused some confusion.

Odd that Windows sales drives multiplatform support. I guess they see a big support/port burden or cost in the work, which doesn't sound like they had any inkling of multiplatform until recently. That kind of doesn't bode well!

Still, I'd love to play this, so I wish them well. They launched on Steam 6 months ago, so maybe there will be news this time next year. If their game is still relevant after so long (and as a sandbox game, that's quite likely), I'll buy it, definitely.

Quoting: alexbrrsclntI'm having problems with the detection of the Steam Controller in the game. Normally the games detect it as a Xbox360 controller, and the buttons get mapped as the 360 ones, but just when I launch the game, I see a message with the recomendation of using a controller instead keyboard/mouse. When I click a button, the in game display for the action of controller buttons change to the keyboard ones.

Anyone with the same issue?

I believe they've noted an issue with Steam Controller being detected as mouse+keyboard. Not sure of the fix - I went back to my Xbox360 controller a few months back.
