Well as this is the last days of the sale, let me recommend at least one 2018 game that's worth picking up if you hadn't yet

Nice level design for the most part and it has multiple difficulties to suit one's preference. The easiest mode ought to be good enough for younger kids to play through it too.
GOTY!

apparently they recently limited that list to 50 entries :(

not even the "now owns X games" text goes beyond 50 :(
I guess that's why my latest purchase stopped at showing 46 (3+43), leaving out a lot of items (I bought over 100 dlc and games). Weird that it stopped at 46 and not 50 tho.

===============

How long does it take for Steam to "learn" about games? For example, I played and completed this the other day.


But the achievements don't count towards my total or raise my completion %. This is apparently because Steam is still "learning" about the game. Despite having come out in August with over 300 user reviews, and goodness knows how many more installs and such... So I guess I am curious about this "learning" process by Steam and what it takes for a game to be "learned." Also why does it seem like AAA titles get to skip this process?

Been playing The Free Ones in the last hour. It's neat. Little bit unrefined mechanically and visually but overall pretty enjoyable so far. The VO for one character sounds pretty mechanic. Some of the passages could be more open about where they want you to go and some were lacking a cool soundtrack to underscore what you were doing. Going by the Steam Reviews it doesn't seem to long so it takes an afternoon or two. Will probably finish it tomorrow.

Also craving a shooter. Maybe I try Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare after that. Or I'm daring to sink into the Rainbow Six Siege hole.

Nononono, nobody said that. Nobody. Anime gifs are like opinions: they all stink.

Man, Yakuza 0 side stuff are really fun. I could totally see myself spending most of time in the SEGA arcade lol
Pocket Racers had me running around for an evening raising cash to buy upgrades to my car so i could make kids cry when i beat them. There are a couple of side-quests that are just solid gold too. I love that the main story is a hard-hitting gangster story but the ancillary stuff is usually whimsical as hell. Makes for a great change of tone and pace when you get fed up of one of them.

I've decided to focus on Subnautica again. I've played embarassingly little of it despite it being my #2 GOTY. It's such a fantastic game.
I've recently restarted without the Hunger and Thirst stuff, which was neat for a while but quickly became annoying busywork, and am now enjoying it even more. The art design is so good and the sense of exploration is simply off the charts.

Set up a base and am ready to go deeper. Also staying away from the Aurora wreck as long as possible this time. There are... things lurking within the muddy depths around it. A thing that gave me a bigger scare than any horror game I've played in 2018.

The first game is a lot of fun. I’ve never played the second. I’ve wanted these forever, so Tizoc is the man!
Long ago I tried the beginning of both and didn't like them at all, but I wanted to own them for completionist purposes. I will never bother downloading them, of course.

The first time I played Akali in Blitz I got a C, second time S+ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Her kit is pretty stupid and I'll probably never use the skin...but you know, that's League addiction for you!

nexus blitz is kinda wild like that, if you get rolling on (some) mobility/artillery/tanks champions it's kind of hard to stop you

i like her kit, it's fun to play, even if it's way too much for balance.

i love this show

Just checked and I don't have them. Guess this bundle doesn't give extra copies if you already own some games, which is a shame because I had them all except for 1 and 2.
