7 types of games that each of us has in the Steam library

Steam is a platform that hardly any gamer can ignore and is home to thousands of games. Some of them are so obtrusive that we all have at least one lying around in our library.

If you ask 10 gamers what they think of video games, you’ll get 15 answers. Our tastes are wildly different and the games that are absolute masterpieces for some should be erased from the disc for others.

But there are certain types of games that you will find in every Steam library. Regardless of whether you prefer MMORPGs, shooters, simulators or all of them, all of us have downloaded these games before.

Free game downloaded out of boredom

Sometimes gamers get the urge to try something new. So something completely new. Not all the unplayed stuff that’s been sitting around in the library for years. His time will come. No, it has to be a brand new game and it can’t cost anything.

Actually you don’t need a new game. You still have a long backlog, for which you sometimes spent a lot of money. With a free game you don’t feel obliged to get the money back.

So you grab a free Steam game because you’re bored, play it for a few hours, and then never touch it again. But hey, at least you didn’t spend a cent on it.

Blockbuster game that everyone seems to be playing

There is no escaping this game. It is everywhere. It is reported on YouTube, on Twitch, social media, reddit, on all news sites. People just won’t stop talking about it. The big blockbuster games are often the number one topic of conversation in the gaming community long before they are released.

All the hype around it is so penetrating that at some point you just buy the stuff to get an idea of ​​it for yourself. After all, you have to be able to form your own opinion that is neither influenced by the hype nor by external reviews. This is the only right way.

And then when you’ve played it, you can tell the world what you think and say the game is great / mediocre / overrated / the greatest thing / not worth a penny / and so on.

It’s really awesome and funny, and creative, and a whole lot better than all those soulless AAA titles, but a lot more secret and unknown.

With so much praise, I want to see what’s so great and different about it. It doesn’t cost that much either, after all it’s an indie game, so you just buy it. Whether it actually gets played is another matter.
