Nop you could see recently unlocked and a selection of locked ones, secret achivements were always missing.
That's strange, I'm not seeing any change here.
I'm see both locked and unlocked achivements, both in my library and directly via SteamCommunity.com.

I started Steamworld Dig 2 and it looks like 1 did have a story after all.
Now I'm compelled to go back, welp.
If I were you I would play 2 and consider 1 a prequel, that way after finishing 2 you can try 1 if you are eager to keep playing in that universe ;)

STWD2 is the real gem, enjoy it!

I've played an hour or so of Steamworld Dig and think I'm gonna leave it at that.
Made it to the 2nd zone and the game is just too repetitive for me, I don't really like the digging exploration and the upgrades haven't been that interesting either. There's basically not much of a story either, so I also don't have much motivation to push through at least for that. Dropped.

I've heard 2 is supposed to be vastly better than 1, so I might just give it a try.
It was a decent experience to play for a few minutes at a time on a handheld, but I can't say that I'd ever want to sit down just to play SteamWorld, nor would I ever want to really return to it.

Dig 2 is way better, way more challenging and way more fun overall.

I waited a while to report back on the issue, but I can confidently say now I haven't had any black-screens or flickers since swapping the HDMI cable from my PC to TV a week+ ago. So I guess let that be a lesson that wear and tear on cables is legit?

Actually looks like a slow month for me for new releases, thankfully :D Maybe because I didn't click through on too many of those banners... but ES2 + EL DLC = dozens of hours but at least I can usually multitask those.

Weird, is it me or Metro Exodus on PC isn't available to pre-order at the usual places?
I mean, it's up to pre-order on Steam, and Humble has the regular edition listed, without any discount (but not the gold edition).
But, no GMG, no Fanatical, no Voidu, no Gamesplanet, no 2Game, ...

I was hoping for a good deal on Metro Exodus, and Generation Zero.

Yeah, I tried it for a while last year and got bored fast. I really don't get all the praise for it, but to each their own, haha.

This is all based on the description (text) of the games. A few similar games look relevant. I will see whether some parameters can help improve the results.

However, the results can be surprising due to the fact that the algorithm ignores the screenshots, tags, ratings, etc. Sometimes, the games only share a few concepts in their plots, but the graphics and gameplay are completely different. For instance, this is the closest game to Portal 2;


Query appID: 646570 (Slay the Spire)
Top similar games:
1) appID: 919220 (Destiny or Fate)
2) appID: 491660 (Assault on the Necrospire)
3) appID: 780290 (Gloomhaven)
For Slay the Spire, the first result looks very similar.




Query appID: 683320 (GRIS)
Top similar games:
1) appID: 436240 (Melancholy Republic)
2) appID: 815540 (Awakening: The Skyward Castle Collector's Edition)
3) appID: 252830 (Claire)
For GRIS, the similar games feature a female protagonist and her journey in an adversary world.

I assume because it's pretty popular, it was the best selling Nep game and most played too, I get people that wanna try series all play it, not all play other games later.

Was the 2011 NBA Jam game never released on PC? I wanted to buy it to play with my brother as we are both big fans of the original arcade title but it seems like emulation is my only option?

I've played a bunch of Headlander. I like it! Really enjoying the story and setting. Gameplay is straight-forward with a few annoying puzzles so far, but nothing too bad.
Gonna watch some Kamen Rider OOO and then I'll continue. I'm probably at the end soon-ish.
