Deal | The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth combines things that seemingly don't belong together: its world is both cute and unsettling, grotesque yet strangely captivating. Widely regarded as one of the most influential roguelikes ever made, the game is now available for less than $1.50 for the first time on Steam.

Meccha Chameleon is the next major indie phenomenon after R.E.P.O. and Schedule I. The simple hide-and-seek game from Japan has sold 15 million copies in just one month. Players on Reddit are now speculating about the formula behind its success.

Deal | Before the Forza Horizon series popularized open-world racing games, World Racing 2 had already introduced several ideas that would later become closely associated with the genre – more than 20 years ago.

No sooner had Valve opened SteamOS to more hardware than what appears to be the first Steam Machine clone surfaced in China. The listing is currently fueling heated debate in the Steam Machine subreddit – but not because everyone is eager to buy one.

Many people see the Steam Machine as little more than an expensive mini PC for the living room. However, a recent Reddit thread suggests that Valve’s compact gaming PC could be interesting for a range of use cases that many users may not have considered.

Deal | One of Steam’s most realistic GT racing simulations is cheaper than ever: Assetto Corsa Competizione has received a 90% discount for the first time and now costs around $4.

The start of pre-orders has given GTA fans a large batch of new screenshots, which are now being discussed on Reddit. Several details stand out – mostly in a positive way.

AI is no longer some distant future topic in game development. But on Steam, even disclosing its use could become a problem for many studios. An analysis by Game Oracle shows that games with disclosed AI use receive significantly fewer reviews than comparable titles without an AI disclosure. The study is now sparking plenty of discussion on Reddit.

According to the product page for the GTA 6 Ultimate Edition, it appears to include several exclusive shops. If that is the case, Rockstar would be locking entire parts of the game world behind a paywall for the first time – and many fans are not happy about it.

With the “Stim Machine,” French hardware retailer LDLC has launched a provocative alternative to Valve’s Steam Machine. The cube-shaped mini-PC also costs €1,039 ($1,179), but comes with a more powerful Radeon RX 9060 XT and standard Mini-ITX hardware. However, it does not ship with SteamOS pre-installed – and that is exactly where opinions on Reddit are divided.

Deal | According to SteamDB, Assetto Corsa is the most popular racing simulation on Steam and should be a welcome alternative for anyone looking for a change from the arcade-heavy driving feel in FH6. The game is currently available on Steam at a 75% discount for around $5 – but only until tomorrow.
