What Steam players say

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

✦ AI summary

R.U.S.E.™ is widely praised by players as an excellent and enduring RTS experience with engaging gameplay that has held up well over time, though some note the AI can be simplistic and the campaign's Cold War narrative feels dated. Players consistently recommend it as a solid choice for RTS fans looking for something different from typical offerings in the genre.

Same great game, we need more RTSs like this. AI is a little dumb though. Also the campaign has you team up with nazis to fight communist infiltrators because cold war kids write bad plots.

I've bought this game several times over the years but this was the first time someone bought it for me as a gift. Definitely still just as fun as it was 16 years ago.

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 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.

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.
