There are all sorts of burnt out locations and destroyed buildings and stuff, but there simply is nothing that jumps out at you. Now I like 'nuclear eradicated future'? games as much as the next guy, but Restricted Area's visuals are pretty disappointing. No real storyline for any of the four characters, the plot it very, very thin and un-engaging and the whole thing feels really dated. Where I have a problem is the game states it's an action/RPG, well, sure there is action, but the crucial RPG ingredients are sorely lacking. We donвЂ™t look at user reviews to make decisions like that, so thereвЂ™s no risk to a developer that their game might have too many or too few reviews and lose visibility or access as a result.Now it's no real surprise that this game is being compared to Diablo, since it darn near plays like it. In this case, we uncovered a bug for some games where the actual access to developers was updating correctly, but the store-page notice wasnвЂ™t - that is now fixed. We also include a message on the store page that Steam is still learning about the game, to provide more context for customers. We donвЂ™t label those games negatively or withhold visibility from them, we just wait until thereвЂ™s more customer data available to make an informed decision about enabling certain features. One effect of that change is some games with smaller audiences wonвЂ™t have access to trading cards right away. You can get more info on that change from our public blog post. The company is now working to correct the bug that applied the same restrictions given to truly dubious games to Wandersong and other legitimate ones.Д«ack in 2017, we made an adjustment to trading card availability to help eliminate economic incentive for trading card farmers and trolls. 9): Valve confirmed to Polygon (and Lobanov) that the restrictions on Wandersong were the result of a glitch.

Wandersong is now available on Nintendo Switch along with Mac and Windows PC. We're just so good it's statistically improbable that we're real - WANDERSONG (out now!!!) January 8, 2019 And it's good to take precaution to protect buyers from scams. Please don't take this to mean that Valve is working against small games! Many games that are far less successful than us have been verified. вЂњWeвЂ™re just so statistically anomalously popular with users, ValveвЂ™s algorithm thinks we might be a scam game that hacked hundreds of accounts to make it look like weвЂ™re this popular,вЂќ he says. The reason for this could actually be better than it sounds, according to Lobanov. Even as user reviews climbed, pushing the gameвЂ™s review average to вЂњvery positiveвЂќ (there are only three negative reviews out of 269 at time of writing), the Steam version of Wandersong remains at ValveвЂ™s mercy. An automated message from the platformвЂ™s support services assured him that all games went through this process, he tells us. so I left it at that,вЂќ Lobanov says about the lacking Steam features, which first came to his attention in October. and other games I checked that had launched just before us had passed. вЂњI figured it would clear soon, since, I mean. All of these are meant to dissuade people from publishing games that serve no other purpose than to award players with stat-boosting achievements and the like.Дeveloper Greg Lobanov tells Polygon that Valve first flagged Wandersong when it launched in September that its veracity remains under deliberation is a surprise. The list includes limitations on achievements and items, as well as preventing players from adding it to their favorite games lists. вЂњUntil more players have interacted with it, some features will be restricted,вЂќ it reads. ItвЂ™s the victim of a policy that launched last June, made to explicitly combat games that were intentionally вЂњinflating achievement and game counts for users to display on their profiles.вЂќДЄ sidebar on WandersongвЂ™s store page includes a note that вЂњSteam is learning about this game,вЂќ which comes with a dialogue box to actually explain what that means. (It was also one of my personal favorites of 2018.) Yet Valve has marked it as under review, leaving players unable to access regular Steam features for it, like trading cards and achievements. The delightful musical adventure game Wandersong launched to cult acclaim in September and last week received several nods from the Independent Games Festival Awards.

A series of restrictions put in place to ward off these so-called вЂњfake games,вЂќ however, has caught at least one totally real game in the crossfire. ValveвЂ™s commitment to keeping illegitimate games off Steam has led to increased vigilance over the last six months.
