*shrug *

I think the group didn't intend to give out anything but positive recommendations, so I'd let it as it is.

How sneaky! :D

I liked Firewatch, but way less interactions... Hm. If somebody else wants it, is step back. I don't think I would like it. BTW, I don't see it in the curator offers anyway...

Steamspy closed their data:

Steamcharts gives me this at the moment, I'll try again later...
"Internal Server Error"

If it's bad, call it bad. We should support Indies making good games, but more so we should support players.

The criteria were
* all-time peak limit below 250 at https://steamcharts.com (hfdden)
* Metacritic score of at least 80 or 80% or more positive user reviews on Steam (gem)

Children of Apollo of Apollo has troubles with the gem category, maybe because it is too hidden.

Player peaks:
* AI War 2 - 310
* Clea - 36
* Death and Taxes - 317

I'd be for raising the "hidden" bar a bit again. Steam's going from player record to player record in these times, and hidden gems get their (little) share...

Let's leave it as it is, the game is worth our recommendation. Thanks for writing it!

Interestingly, I haven't received any recommendation in months (AFAIR), but two today...

hat ein Review zu :THE LONGING: verfasst - Empfohlen
"The most adorable progress bar I've ever watched. For point & click adventure fans with tons of patience. Seriously, a lot of waiting involved. I'll go wait some more now, maybe something happens."

Hidden Linux Gems
hat ein Review zu :THE LONGING: verfasst - Empfohlen
"A good looking point & click adventure style waiting simulator. If you have the patience to nurture little Shade through his 400 days of longing, you'll find yourself... oddly attached. In a nice way."

And, as said, I wanted to do the same for the same game. :)

I can't answer this, but... I wanted to recommend The Loning as well, just to find that it might have too mayn players to qualify as hidden. On the other hand, in these times where way more people are at home playing, we might stretch those...

I don't think a list would hide or show a recommendation, though. Maybe just discuss the recommendation here? In the end, there's nobody very involved left here I fear...
