Co-op action RPG Atlas Fallen gets a full free revamp in 2024 with the Reign of Sand update

19. Srpen 2024 v 23:00
Given all of the releases that came out last year, you would be forgiven for letting the co-op critter hunting RPG Atlas Fallen slip through the mental cracks. After all, the game was, by all critical and gamer accounts, something of a middling title. However, developer Deck13 and publisher Focus Entertainment has not completely forgotten […]

19. Srpen 2024 v 21:00
Gamers who updated their Steam desktop app recently may have seen something a little new in their browsing experience: a feature that is visually prioritizing what Valve considers helpful reviews – and is thinning out the meme-filled ones. “[O]ne-word reviews, reviews comprised of ASCII art, or reviews that are primarily playful memes and in-jokes, will […]

Steam’s latest update to user reviews doesn’t find your “jokes, memes, ascii art and other content” as funny as you do

Steam’s seeing a good few sweeping changes of late. They’ve recently added a ‘Trending Free’ tab to separate the no money down and no, money down playables. And, as of September, they’re cracking down on links to other websites in store pages. Now, horror of horrors, they’re coming for your ascii gigachads and “nobody is going to read this review so I’ll just say I’m gay” bangers. The changes are part of their ‘New Helpfulness System’, outlined here.

The new system, which will be enabled by default but can be toggled off, aims to “help potential players make informed decisions about the games they are considering purchasing by understanding the attributes of the game that other players like or don't like.” Ah, so a sort of ‘review’, if you will. I like it!

Steam now has a Trending Free tab for demos, full free games and free-to-play

Finding and sharing Free Stuff is one of the time-honoured duties of the video game journalist or SEO-monger. Back when I was OXM's online editor, "free Xbox games" was one of our golden Google pillars, the other two being "Minecraft Xbox 360 update" and "Skyrim something something". Well, uncle Valve has just rudely torpedoed that ancient investigative initiative by adding a Trending Free tab to the Steam frontpage, encompassing prologues, demos, free-to-play games and that most treasured of jewels, a full free game with no monetisation elements, such as Grimhook.

Do not cry for us pitiful electronic scribblers, crowded on our melting internet icebergs. Play free games instead! Thanks to that new tab, I've just discovered a demo for neato wide-format tower defender Frontline Crisis. Hah, that'll keep the awareness of steady livelihood erosion at bay.

Drakantos says it is very much an MMORPG, but not exactly like others you’ve played
