Try to shovel coal into the boiler and it locked up my computer because of dx12.

10/10 would try and keep train going again.

GTFO is a 4 person co-op stealth shooter. For some reason I see a lot of people don't realize this game is meant to be difficult, and not just a weird clone of left 4 dead. The only complaints I can give is that there is no built in matchmaking system, however, the discord method of matchmaking is pretty fast and the community is pretty good.

I would go more in-depth, but if you like a game where you have to work together with a team on difficult levels to try and survive, then give this game a chance.

This game is glorious, and the community isn't half bad. That doesn't mean there isn't any bad though, plenty of trolls and people that immediately blow up the reactor. However, you can sometimes find that crew that just clicks and actually complete the objective.

If you do get this game, try and play with friends or try and play on a server that has auto-mod so you know who is griefing. The multiplayer isn't the only thing to this game as well, but it is going to be the main reason you're gonna wanna get it. This is because the single player isn't finished and the characters are a bit boring, which in turn makes the whole thing boring.

If you can look past all that, you've got a great submarine simulator in space where chaos is rampant, have fun!

***2021 UPDATE***

Ho boy, it's been two years since I really sat down and played this game and, to say the least, it's improved TREMENDOUSLY. The single player is actually really fun and challenging now with more fleshed out characters and smart(ish) bots.

They've also added a lot of much needed features such as more drawbacks for not being skilled enough, the ability to do more than one mission on a route, and fleshing out the tutorials to better teach how to play the game.

As for the general experience, it isn't much different to how it was before but just feels more finished versus how it was two whole years ago.

If you want a fun game where you drive a death trap of a submarine through a deadly sea while barely managing to keep the fission reactor that's supposed to sit at around 5000 Celsius all the time below 7000 Celsius, this is the game for you.

A pretty fun little game where you play as a chef and try and make meals for customers. Or, in my case, just burn the place down within 10 seconds of finding out you can buy a blowtorch.

I'm one of those people that got this game when it came out in 2011. It was really simple back then and didn't have mods. Also no one knew how to do ANYTHING, pretty fun though :P. Since then they've improved the game considerably and made quite a few changes from what it was back then. Also if you've seen videos of this, you may have heard the phrase just add more rockets being used, that came from when people didn't know ♥♥♥♥♥ and just slapped a whole bunch of rockets on their ship to make it better lol.

Also, a nice thing on the dev part, everyone who bought the game before it was put on steam got a free steam key, and on top of that when the new DLC came out, we got it for free too.

One Hour One Life is a multiplayer survival game, with a very, very interesting twist. When you die, the server continues on and new things can be built. If you're lucky, you can start as eve, the first player on the server. You then have a child, who is the second player that joins. From then on you can keep having kids and live a good life, or die a grizzly fate through starvation, wild animal attacks, or being attacked by another human. These people who are evil are normally "cursed" in the game by other players. This does nothing until a certain amount of people have cursed that player. They become marked the next time they are reborn. This goes away with each reincarnation, by one point (each time you curse someone they get 1 curse point) and can eventually become normal again. I'm fairly certain they do this to weed out the players who want to be aggressive and kill other players. There are many other things about the game that are very interesting, like the crafting system. At the beginning you start out with nothing, you have to work your way up the chain. You will definitely not be able to get very far, but your children might be able to make some progress in your stead. Same thing goes with their children and their children's children. It's a long chain that could go on forever, as long as there is a female in the group. Another great thing is it allows people to leave a legacy of sorts. Whether that be just making a file, or building a castle all by themselves. Every bit of progress counts in this game. If you have the chance to do something that could help your groups future, then you should do it because it will leave a legacy and you WILL be honored by the people. That's another thing about this, it's kind of a roleplay game too. You could be a farmer, or the main hunter. The choice is really up to you in this game. Which is why I love it so much. If you have the extra $20 to get this game, get it. It should be well worth it in the end.

Game somehow managed to crash my GPU drivers, but inadvertently fixed the RGB issue I was having with my GPU long before I got this game.

10/10 would crash to fix again.

Also, I did refund this, but that was way back in 2018, when the game was a bit more of a mess than it is now, but it is actually getting better and is quite fun to play now if you get the hang of it.

(NOTE: This is a telling of what hell I've been through trying to fix an issue I had, this may never even happen to you, but it happened to me and pretty much screwed me over.)

There are so MANY issues that I've encountered within the last 2 days of trying to edit a video. First off, for some reason a perfectly normal mp4 video will not even be RECOGNISED by sony vegas, it kept saying it was an unknown format. Second off, when I did get it to work work I had to do research for around 12 HOURS straight! And even then it barely worked right. I had to convert the encoding to h.265, but the audio apparently decided not to work, so I took a copy of the video and turned into an MP3 file, it worked, BUT the conversion added some extra video somewhere for no apparent reason. So I took to skimming through and couldn't for the life of me find where it did this. I eventually just gave up on that project, and those 2 hours of footage will have to go to waste. But before that I decided to reinstall sony vegas, this was the worst mistake I could have ever made. Now the program keeps saying it can't find the file specified (vegaspro140.exe if you were wondering) and now I'm going to have to delve into my files to fix this.

Now, that is the worst case scenario you could possibly have, I managed to get everything wrong. This software is actually very good at what it does when it wants to work, you can literally do anything with this if you know what you're doing. Just make sure to be careful when something doesn't want to work, don't go blundering about and messing everything up like I did. If you do get this, be warned that the learning curve is also very steep, it took me a good while to do some pretty basic stuff (tracking something with text or crop, adding animated text, etc.) and it was pretty difficult. Also I recommend waiting for a sale before buying this, got it for $70 on sale.

A terrible game that has terrible performance. An i5 8400 and gtx 1050 ti OC'd by about 250 mhz still runs this game like trash. Also in game I tried to turn on V-sync, it told me I had to restart for it to take effect! On top of that the gun play is terrible, guns that look like they wont have much kickback at all have massive recoil that knocks your crosshair to the heavens in a firefight. On top of that the inventory is total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, it's clunky and unhelpful when you're being shot at and need a gun, but you have a full inevntory. Also, there's no "drop all" button so you either try and drop each item individually, or try your best to argue with your inventory and drag it to the proximity side.

On another note, I bought this game when it was in early access and it wasn't TOO bad on performance, but now it's gotten worse. I never crashed on my old pc (i3 4170 + gtx 750 ti), but now it crashed when I decided to lower the view distance a TINY amount. Literally moved it 1 PIXEL and the game crashed. I used to fiddle with view distance all the time on my old ♥♥♥♥♥♥ system. The devs pretty much made it a cash grab anyways when it was slowly turned into a battle royale game. They flat out ABANDONED the old zombie survival game they made so they could make more money off of this ♥♥♥♥ show they call a game.

All in all, don't play this game. The devs got greedy and ruined what could have been a fun little game. They've completely abandoned it anyways, and they seemed to have de-optimized it over time. Go play fortnite or PUBG and enjoy your time with them instead of this cashgrab.

RimWorld is a very challenging game to play, but don't let that sway you because this game is AMAZING. It's very similar to one of my favorite games of all time, Prison Architect. RimWorld has a TON of diversity and content. It even let's you replace a colonists limbs if you so choose. You also have a whole world to explore and there are factions scattered all around the globe. You can either try and befriend some of these factions or raid them for your own gain. The one thing that would probably put people off is the difficulty, but there are different "storytellers" which decide what events happen when. The first is Cassandra Classic. She raises the difficulty as you go so you start out with small raids and small events. After a while it increases in difficulty with every raid. The second storyteller is Phoebe Chillax. She gives long breaks between challenges, but hits hard when she creates them. Randy Random is the third one. His name says it all, he does things randomly. There are also different difficulties ranging from Peaceful to Extreme. This game also has plenty of mods to suit your need.

So basically if you can, pick this game up and enjoy :)
