The Steam Workshop

Modding on Steam Workshop

by Paul Gestl

Variety is the spice of life.

A powerful saying in both life and video games. No game is perfect and able to keep a person entertained all by itself. Even my favorite game only has around 100 hours clocked in on it, only counting the Steam version.

Luckily, Steam has an easy fix for making sure that their games don’t become stale as quickly with its own section dedicated to content mods called the steam workshop.

Steam Early Access
Games that Evolve as You Play Them!

What to Expect in the Future

On Steam, there are thousands of potential video games to review. I currently own 250+ awesome, well-known titles stored in my Steam Library. My goal is to play through at least half of them and suggest which titles are worth your time. It is my job to scout for games by separating the “wheat from the chaff” so to speak.

As the only writer, I won’t be able to write more than 1-2 posts a day due to working full-time. If more people were to enjoy reading my reviews, then I will consider getting other writers on board who are both enthusiastic gamers and dedicated to sharing the latest news on popular titles and PC gaming culture.
