I'm almost certainly becoming more critical towards the games I see on Steam, and what I add to my list. This may have been apparent from the drought of new games being added. I'd like to think of this as a good thing, meaning I spend less time on stuff that's bad, and more time on stuff that's good. Not to mention it helps me catch up with the list instead of letting it slip ever further away. But this begs another question. What's the point of this at all then? I originally wanted to not miss any of the so-called hidden gems by also looking through many of the less popular games on Steam. Well, now that my program is taking care of what I am nearly certain is absolute rubbish, there are very few of these unpopular games left, and even then I rarely decide I want to play them. Maybe this is a good thing? Maybe, through looking through tens of thousands of games, I have finally confirmed on my own that this system Steam has is working. That good games are going to have lots of ratings, and that they are going to have lots of good and highly rated ratings. This of course means that good games surface and are very easy to find, while the rest is left in the depths of the unknown and unfound, as it should be. Wouldn't that be wonderful. Still, I'll continue what I'm doing.
PS. I'm starting to run out of games that aren't in Early Access, but this will be a topic for when that actually happens.
As per a friend's request, I played a few games of the newly released Gigantic with them. As I didn't and probably wouldn't have picked this game on my own, I don't feel too strong an urge to say much about it, but... It's a little something between a third-person shooter and a MOBA. Think Paragon without the laning and the minions. MOBAs may be saturated, but it still manages to scratch an itch that some people may not have gotten satisfied from other games. It has no laning or minions so it's not purely a traditional MOBA, and is indeed probably closest to Overwatch. Still, it's neither first person nor strictly a shooter. Honestly, you'd probably still be better off playing Overwatch if you like these kinds of things, but if you want something that's like Overwatch, while not actually being Overwatch, go ahead and try Gigantic. I found no obvious flaws with it, and it would've probably been a big hit, but with the giant known as Overwatch, the bar is simply set higher these days.
