Seems weird for a forum curator to review games for which we don't have threads or discussions

Make a thread and discussion about them.

Gloomwood has a gay checkpoint save system and ugly aesthetic, consider it's place among HQ games disputed.

Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones was incorrectly marked as recommended, I fixed it, Not Recommended as the intention.

Maybe there should be a second curated list of "HQ picks" where we select the best game from year/quarter (think of the high quality threads!). When there are dozens of recommendations a list is less useful for discovery.

I've removed most of the "This is HQ" reviews. I originally added them just because we needed 10 to appear on Steam. From now on I'll only be recommending games we have full reviews for, and marking shit games as Not Recommended(LQ).

Honestly I would give this an Informational rating. Yes, its unfinished. But knowing that, for pennies on a deep sale, the first ~15 hours are not bad. There are certainly many worse RPGs on Steam.

@rusty_shackleford Noticed you never added New Arc Line to it. I'd give it an informational.

"New Arc Line is in a very rough state of Early Access. Frequent crashes, numerous bugs, and poor performance hinder gameplay. Key features are missing, and the current experience is shallow. The focus on exploration is more engaging than the underdeveloped main story."
