How we pick them
We compare the tags the Steam community gives each game with our own classification: what you do (action, story, building…), the difficulty, how long sessions last and whether you play alone or with others. Nobody pays to appear.
About DLC Quest
A 2D platformer that mocks DLC: you collect coins around the level and hand them to a shopkeeper to buy the most basic things, such as sound, animation or a double jump. It has two short campaigns, and in the original you can't fail.
