I'm more than happy to be Ubi's 'Bargain Bin' here on Steam.
Exclusively tested on just about every other platform imaginable for 2 years before dropping it here in pristine condition at a 75% discount >.O

Another solid AC title. An improvement over Odyssey (mostly the atmosphere being more serious than Odysseys' comedic approach). I thought Odyssey was their best followed by Origin. Syndicate and earlier are easily forgettable.

Negative reviews are based on Steam achievements. You still get achievements popping on Ubi Connect just not on Steam. The game is 3 years old and they're working on Mirage.

They've published a statement about this. If this is an issue for you, you have been warned.

I appreciate the discount it dropped at, honestly wasn't expecting it from Ubi (historically).

Great game! Riders Republic next please.

Forza captures the essence of open world driving in 600+ iconic vehicles without the flashy arcade addons.
Best open world racer available. A must play for any petrolhead.

By far the best game I have ever played, nothing has even come close. The attention to detail is ridiculous.

This review is based on the full story game, not the online only version.
Online has always been a bit of a mess...

Astroneer is set during the 25th century Intergalactic Age of Discovery, where Astroneers explore the frontiers of outer space, risking their lives in harsh environments to unearth rare discoveries and unlock the mysteries of the universe.

After 2 years in early access, it's one of the few games that became something.

It's a game about exploring planets at your leisure. Sure, there are some hazards—occasional storms, aggressive flora—that pose active threats, but for the most part, you’re driven only by your urge to explore and your need for crafting supplies.

I only played this in co-op but could see single player being cool too.

Oh, there’s the whole breathing thing. That matters.

Simple yet appealling art, easy puzzles - yet Bob makes them challenging as Bob decided to drink a case of Vodka before attempting to escape using parkour methods.

Only negative I would say is the Co-op isn't LAN, it's Splitscreen (well at time of writing anyway)
If this was Online Multiplayer or LAN Co-op, purchasing would be a no brainer.

8/10

Edit1: Well it went online MP after all :)

- pay $1
- install
- play some Texas Holdem with your mates Claptrap, Brock Samson, Ash Williams and Sam who entertain you with their
meaningful conversation.
- earn the untradeable TF2 and Borderlands2 items :)
