Thanks for the correction. Sometimes it's hard to tell these companies apart, their products are so similar.
Nope, not a bot. You've spoken to me a few times.
These are not "random" but games I think deserve attention.
Do you realize 20K games were released on Steam last year but few of them were ever noticed?
2K's latest AAA title. Both online and couch PvP. And there's online co-op too. This also has full gamepad support with Xbox and Dual Shock controllers.
At C$89.99, this is super expensive -- so the in-app purchases are beyond ridiculous. And I can't believe all the DLC is C$107.46. But at least there's a demo available.
Looks like a fun puzzle game with a unique premise and aesthetic. It also has full gamepad support. Only one review right now, but a demo is available. Currently priced at C$12.99.
New low poly visuals. The music also seems quite nice. This whole game was made by one solo indie developer. No reviews yet, but a demo is available to play. With an introductory price of C$16.19, this is slightly expensive for what it is. However, if you like the demo, it's worth checking out.
A beat-'em-up starring stick figures. No features, and no reviews yet. There is a demo available, though.
A 2D game with pixel art graphics reminiscent of 8-bit computer games. Gamepad is required -- can't play this with a keyboard. There's a couch co-op mode. Not many reviews on this but there's a demo available, and the dev currently has a live broadcast going on. With an introductory price of C$5.19, it's quite inexpensive.
A psychological horror game. Not much in the way of features, but it has mostly good reviews and it's inexpensive.
This is a VR-only FPS, but it also has tracked controller support. Mostly positive reviews and it's somewhat affordable.
A rogue-like turn-based tactics game based on a cyberpunk theme. Beautiful graphics, and you can purchase the soundtrack as DLC. Currently has very good ratings on Steam.
A re-release of the following Yu-Gi-Oh! games:
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters II: Dark Duel Stories
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Monster Capsule
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories
- Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4: Battle of Great Duelists

- Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler
- Yu-Gi-Oh! 7 Trials to Glory: World Championship Tournament 2005 (Yu-Gi-Oh! Day of the Duelist: World Championship Tournament 2005)
Full gamepad support, verified for Steam Deck, and online PvP.
This was developed by Digital Eclipse (a.k.a., Atari) and published by Konami. It should be good, and it mostly has decent reviews. But a few people complain about the price tag, which is C$59.99.
A nice fresh premise for a game. Couch PvP is available. There's also support for gamepads, both Xbox and DualShock. And the reviews are good so far. Oh yeah, at C$8.99, this is cheap.
Barely game, just a tech demo with visual novel aspects. But it's free and something to put your GPU through its paces.
An online PvP with parkour elements. The cel-shaded graphics are highly enjoyable. You can play with a gamepad. Oh yeah, and it's completely free with no micro-transactions.
Another HOG published by Big Fish Games. Some people like these games, some hate them. Personally, I like HOGs. They offer hours of comfy entertainment. Plus, they're low spec and work on most devices, including on Macs.
This is the follow-up to Ms. Holmes: The Case of the Dancing Men, which came out last year. Not a whole lot of reviews for that one, but here's a sequel.
I, too, am surprised this was re-released on Steam. Yet here it is. And if you like the original Mafia II but don't own it, it can be yours for C$29.99. And by the way, this has gamepad support.
This is a re-release of Ninja Five-O, a Game Boy Advance game that had never been released onto another platform until now. Originally developed by Hudson Soft, it's been ported to PC by Limited Run Games. In terms of graphics, it mostly preserves the original, keeping things at a 4:3 aspect ratio. Fittingly, this also has full gamepad support.
Personally, I think the price is a little too high, but if you're a fan of this game, it's now on Steam.
I'm not the biggest fan of visual novels, but I think it's important to hear from Russian anti-war voices. Plus, this is free and it has native compatibility with Mac and Linux.
A re-release of a 1998 helicopter sim that's still PC exclusive. Back in the day, it got good reviews. Some people will hate that this is no longer abandonware, but others will love that they can buy this legally for cheap. And it is cheap right now with an introductory price of C$5.84.
The graphics are preserved in glorious 4:3 aspect ratio. And this very much looks like a 90s PC game.
A 2D bullet hell vertical shoot-'em-up. It has gamepad support, and an introductory price of C$4.86.
Is it any good? I don't know but, to my eyes and ears, it could be good. There are no reviews for this yet.
