Ubisoft updated Far Cry 3 with achievements (finally, massive W!), and it seems like the game runs better on Windows 11 too. I've only encountered a single crash and that was after about 2 hours of gameplay. The fixes UbiPurpleOcelot suggested with the previous version sadly didn't do a whole lot for me, but you can give it a try!

One of my favourite games of all time. On my 9th or so playthrough right now :)

The story of Heavy Rain is incredibly dark, but super interesting and engaging. Plot twist after plot twist really kept me on the edge of my seat when playing. I loved every second of it. I will absolutely be replaying it in the future to get different endings.

It's also definitely one of my favourite games I've played on Steam Deck so far, it just works incredibly well on the device. Sometimes I did feel like the joystick tolerances were a bit tight, making me fail QTEs and ending certain character's stories sooner than I would've liked.

One of the best games I've played on Steam Deck so far. Engaging gameplay with a stunning minimalistic artstyle :D

Bloober Team listened to the fanbase after early-gameplay critiques and they absolutely delivered with this remake. I've been playing it for the past 4,5 hours and I'm having an absolute blast. This remake is faithful to the source material, and it builds on top of it with new content. I'm all here for it! Can't wait for SH1 and SH3 to get this treatment.

Be aware that it's a relatively demanding game. It's the first new game where I had to start tinkering with settings before I had a good experience. I had to drop my settings to Low on an RTX 3070 to get a solid 60 fps on 1440p, and even then there are still occasional stutters here and there. Granted, the game does still look amazing even on Low settings and 50% resolution scaling.

I have to admit... €44,99 for a remaster of a 6 hour game was hard to swallow, especially when I had to look up the visual differences between the original and RePOP (I remember the og version looking exactly like RePOP). That being said, this game is great! Still some bugs and glitches here and there, but devs already announced they'll fix them soon and apparantly there is a price shift coming within the next 3 weeks.

In hindsight, I think this is the best Call of Duty multiplayer experience we've had since the MW2019 "type games". Treyarch seemingly does a good job at creating a COD game every time. They took a bit of a different approach with the campaign in this one, but I find it's a really solid story with brand new and returning Black Ops characters. I don't really play zombies so I can't speak for you guys, sorry. I've heard great things though! BO Cold War has it's fair share of issues though, so expect a few crashes here and there.

I'm excited to see what Treyarch will bring to the table with Black Ops 6!

Activision ruining the fun for everyone once again!

As much as I love Life is Strange, I cannot recommend Before the Storm Remastered to anyone. This 'remaster' suffers from so many bugs even 2 years after release. The original LiS in this bundle is fine, but Before The Storm is definitely not it.

- Lackluster graphics with some textures looking like they are from before the 90s, even with everything set on ultra.
- Desynced audio and subtitles not showing sometimes.
- Sometimes audio doesn't play at all. Leaving a characters mouth moving without any sound. Combine that with broken subtitles and you've got a GREAT story experience...
- Lackluster animations, especially faces showing barely any emotional expression.
- Accessories, like earrings, clipping through hair.
- Characters literally floating in 90% of cutscenes. Their feet are always an inch above the floor.
- Missing details like a record not spinning on a playing record player.
- Try interacting with 2 or more objects in quick succession and Chloe's voice lines will "stack" on top of each other. Messy.
- Environmental lighting glitches (random lens flares for example).
- Lighting not matching their environment. Chloe and Rachel being bright while the environment they are in is dark.
- Lighting on characters being broken. Sometimes a character looks bright white, as if they are a vampire.
- Missing important features for a 2022 release like ultrawide monitor support.

The list just goes on and on and on and it breaks immersion in a story-focused game. Just play the original and stay away from this broken mess, or get it cheap on a sale if you really want to.

Want a modern Motorstorm game? This is the next best thing!

Great multiplayer which is very much alive in 2024. There aren't many tryhards on this game, mostly just people who want to have fun :) I haven't had this much fun with an fps in years!
