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 McPixel 3
Around a hundred absurd levels in which McPixel has to avert a disaster before time runs out, anywhere from five seconds to a minute: you click on objects and people until you find the way out. The humour is cheeky and full of toilet gags.
