I'm looking to get into something new - might try Expedition 33.

Pricing/performance aren't really concerns for me so I'm still going to give it a shot, but overall pretty disappointing.
I have such a hard time following the gripes on Steam reviews to be honest. There should be a whole separate class of reviews for the easy going Dad gamer who doesn't care about the difference between 60 and 100fps or the odd game slow down. Steam reviews seem harsh to me a lot of the time.

Steam probably has the analytics to know who is a casual gamer, should be able to click a box and see "reviews from filthy casuals and noobs", that would be more appropriate for myself.

I may have discovered the No Return part of TLOU2 on the remastered for PS5 version and I might like it better than the actual game.

I love No Return. Was surprised how much fun it was to play through a run or two. I guess it serves as the replacement for the abandoned multiplayer, but I think I actually like this more.

Also cool that they recently updated it again with new characters and maps.
