Steam Year in Review 2023: How to see your Wrapped-like Steam Replay stats recap

We review Age of Comics: The Golden Years a worker placement game published by Liruis Games. In Age of Comics, you are running your own comic book publisher during the golden era.

When a game sees unwanted changes or is the target of backlash, it’s not odd to see its user reviews turn negative. However, with Bethesda Game Studios’Starfield, its Steam user reviews have been slowly plummeting since its launch.

Happy New Year!

Valve has released their annual Best of Steam 2023, a showcase of what was played most and made the most money broken down into roughly grouped tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Bronze. In a year of absolutely great games, some of these chart-toppers aren't surprises, but dang I'd never have guessed that Half-Life, the 1998 classic, would make the top tier of the most-played Steam Deck games by daily active players.

Each week, we scour the internet for all things indie MMO-related, so you don’t have to. This week, almost everyone appears to be on holiday. Other than just about every studio sending out a seasonal greeting, very little happened this week. BitCraft posted a new devblog, Fractured Online opened up its test server to 35 guilds, and Mad World is finally coming to Steam. I’ll go ahead and wish everyone a Happy New Year, and then we will get started on the shortest Indie MMO Spotlight of all time.

In just a few hours from now, the clock will strike 12 and the world will welcome the year 2024. It is an occasion to celebrate with friends and family and to prepare your New Year's resolutions. But if you are away from your loved ones, it is also the time to reach out to them to wish them well for the year ahead. However, you cannot send the same ‘Happy New Year 2024' message you share with your elders and family with your friends. It requires you to come up with different creative messages. If you are struggling with this, don't worry. We asked the three prominent AI chatbots — OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google Bard, and Microsoft Copilot — and they gave us some really good suggestions. Let us check them out.

Valve has released its annual «Best Of» list highlighting the top-performing games on Steam measured by gross revenue and player engagement.

It’s the time of year, folks. The Steam Winter Sale for 2023 is now live, offering some hefty discounts on thousands of games on the Steam store. For me, it’s usually when I pick up titles I didn’t have a chance to play throughout the year but definitely wanted to at some point. After all, not often is there a better discount than what we see with the Steam Winter Sale, at least anytime soon.

So 2023 has been a wild year in the games industry. We've seen multiple MMORPG expansions drop — and not from the genre's heaviest hitters, while the industry itself has had a banner year in the RPG genre alone. Games like Final Fantasy XVI, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and, of course, Baldur's Gate 3 dominated people's playtime this year.
