Classic Fun Collection 5 in 1

You have a collection of 5 popular games, but none of them really good:
Sudoku: I guess it works, one of the only ones with some kind of problem.
Mahjong : very weird version of Mahjong that ends in the middle of play after some timer runs out
Pirate Solitaire : suits are all wrong here, took me a while to find out how to play it
Bayou Words : kinda like scrabble, once the timer runs out you see your score but you don't see the words you have missed
G-Tris : a really bad Tetris clone

Half-Life 2

Worked absolutely fine on my old laptop and was actually fun. Once I tried playing it on my good gaming PC it was an absolute shit show. Controls went haywire

Did not really like the first two games. No maps or fast tavel system. The third one was the best imo, but overall pretty meh.

I'm not sure what to say about this game. I thought it would be better, but the endless dialouge got boring quickly. Guess it is an okay game if you do not mind all the walking and talking.

Half-Life 2

I appear to be very bad at this game -_- Since I did not try to kill civilians
I liked the game, though the beginning levels are rather tough since you do not have the correct equipment unlocked.

Liked this HOG, though some of the HOG scenes were weird and needed some getting used to, when you had to look for shapes. I rather have it written down somewhere instead of guessing what they mean.

This game is absolutely adorable and I liked the story. It's darker than it's cute astethic would suggest.

Half-Life 2

Bee Simulator

You are a bee and you fulfill bee tasks. Really cute game. Though it is not a simulator. You fly through bubbles representing flowers. Some of the challenges can get quiet repetetive.

I thought it would be better, but the endless dialouge got boring quickly

Yeah I felt the same way about Afterparty. Nice job on your progress!

samwise84

Glad I wasn’t the only one feeling like that. I thought the idea of the game was great, but the execution was sorely lacking

Are you playing coloring pixels on steam deck or stationary? I’ve heard some people can make it work nicely for SD, but I have not have Luck yet

samwise84

I have never tried it on steam deck
