Killing Floor 2 takes everything about the original game to the next level in terms of visuals, speed, and sheer fun. While the enemies remain mostly the same they look better than ever and the inclusion of new character classes, along with all the old favorites, means there’s plenty for players to master. The frequent updates with new maps and modes also contribute to the continued popularity of the game. Some players might find the wave-based enemy slaying repetitive, but once you get hooked few other games come close to the sheer visceral thrill that Killing Floor 2 can deliver.
Gameplay: Kill wave after wave of enemies while staying alive.
Graphics: Some interesting levels that can be decorated with the blood and gore of your enemies.
Sound: The industrial metal soundtrack is very fitting and the weapons all sound great

Doom is an action-packed experience from start to finish and manages to pay tribute to the original games while still feeling fresh and modern. The combat is hugely satisfying and forces players to stay on the move and killing instead of cowering behind cover. The campaign is somewhat short but has plenty of replay value, and the whole package is rounded out by a multiplayer mode as well as a SnapMap level editor. It’s not perfect, but as big fans of the original game, we played through this with a huge smile.
Gameplay: Doom is fast, frantic, and over the top in the best possible way.
Graphics: The game doesn’t just look great, but it’s well-optimized too.
Sound: The soundtrack is excellent but tends to drown out everything else

The Wolfpack DLC adds two brand new heists to the game along with a brand new class, the technician. The new heists offer a lot of fun, but are also challenging enough to keep veterans on their toes. The new class also comes with their own new weapons and gadgets, including a grenade launcher and sentry gun, which is pretty impressive. All in all, there’s no reason not to grab this DLC if you are a fan of the game, although the developers have generously included the option to invite friends to the new heists if you own the DLC and they don’t.
Gameplay: Two brand new heists, a brand new class and some new weaponry.
Graphics: Still the same as the base game.
Sound: Not much has changed compared to the base game

Payday: The Heist is not a game for people who prefer playing on their own or don’t have the patience to put up with unfair odds. However, it does offer non-stop action, great level designs and plenty of variety as you go about your criminal activities. The game is obviously showing its age, but it still has plenty to offer if you have a few friends willing to enter a life of crime with you. Pulling off the heists against all odds is incredibly satisfying and the different skill trees along with the constant challenges keeps things fresh.
Gameplay: The game is not even remotely fair, but it is a lot of fun and quite addictive, provided you play with friends.
Graphics: The visuals definitely show their age, but still look good in places.
Sound: Decent audio, but you’ll mostly be listening to your team members over voice chat in any case

Heroine of the Sniper is a very simple sniper game where you have to guide your little animated heroine through fifteen challenges. Most of these involve shooting at targets from a long range, although there are also a few levels where you get to move around a bit or where you man a machine gun while inside a vehicle. It’s not the most polished game on Steam and ends all too soon, but still manages to be quite entertaining while it lasts.
Gameplay: The challenges are fun and varied, but the game definitely needed a few more.
Graphics: The 2D animated heroine looks nice, but the 3D visuals are fairly simple and levels look very bare.
Sound: Unobtrusive music, but the sound effects are pretty good
PC Game Reviews
Dead Effect is a first person shooter where you play as yet another space marine who has to clear out a zombie infestation on board a spaceship. Shooting zombies is quite satisfying, but the levels feel cramped and generic while the story is laughably cliched. The game does offer a ton of content for a very small price, but with so many better games available, it is hard to recommend this one.
Gameplay: Entertaining in parts, but overall a little lacking.
Graphics: Not bad for a game that started out on mobile, but definitely not cutting edge.
Sound: The voice acting is bad and the music unremarkable, but the sound effects are surprisingly good
