What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Chess Ultra offers beautiful graphics and sound design that chess enthusiasts appreciate, and developers have addressed previous technical issues, though players report significant frustration with the game's limited functionality—particularly the requirement to delete previous games to start new ones and the inability to access tournaments despite achievement requirements tied to them. The game is best suited as a straightforward single-player chess experience, but players note the lack of online features and missing content makes it feel abandoned compared to what it could be.

The good Beautiful graphics, pieces and sounds. The bad Unfortunately the good is where it all ends. Having to delete previous games in order to start another is certainly bothersome. I am not the first one to complain about this. Game is effectively abandoned. Because of this there is no tournaments, insane the achievements are "finish tournaments" when you can't have any even against CPUs. Many things could have been done to improve this game, connecting to chess.com for the sake of tournaments even grabbing random's moving pieces. Lichess. CPUs, anything in order to make those achievements... you know... achievable. The game besides the single player content is dead.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
