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.

Lara Croft from an isometric view: you gun down hordes of undead and solve trap-filled puzzles in jungles and catacombs; with two on the same PC, the other player is Totec, who blocks arrows with his shield and throws spears for Lara to climb.
