"Онсинт" — музыкальная симуляция, где игрок создаёт и играет синтезаторы. Контроллеры позволяют экспериментировать с тонами, синтезом и структурой. Вариety синтеза и гибкость в создании треков делают игру интересной. Несмотря на сложность, она подходит для любителей музыки. Уникальный подход к созданию аудио-опыта.

cool but dead
Recommended Nov 12, 2022
A fantastic engine! It's stylistic and easy to understand, and the finished product is a joy to play when done right. There haven't been any updates for some time, so don't expect new features, but it works very well as it is! Lots of fantastic stuff in the workshop from all the creators. 2025 update: One Synth is sadly dead, there will never be any more features or updates. Enjoy it as it is, though! Still fun!

This is a pretty cool idea. Nice introduction to text based adventures without the need to get too deep into programming. Might be a good way to inspire people to make their own games.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

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, where one idea carries the whole game

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 packsBundles

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.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.

Games like Titanfall 2, for the pilot or for the Titan

Titanfall 2's campaign changed its own rules every mission. Games like Titanfall 2 that keep one part of it — the wall-running, the mech, or a campaign that never settles.

It Takes Two cannot be played alone, and that is the whole design. Games like It Takes Two that give each player a different job — including one that makes do with a single pair of hands.
