Shuzzler
The classic word game first released on the iPhone has returned and is now available for the first time on Steam. Shuzzler provides a fresh and challenging gaming experience for those who are fans of the word game genre.
Game Play:
Shuzzler involves spelling words according to criteria given by cards drawn from a deck. For example, a given card may require spelling words with exactly four letters, words that start with the letters “SH-”, or words for types of fruit, US states, or sports. Spell words with letter tiles in a grid by clicking the letter tiles individually or swiping them by click-and-dragging the mouse cursor to connect adjacent letter tiles. If you spell all of the words allotted for a card, you earn it and are awarded the card’s point value in addition to the points you gained from spelling words. The objective is to earn all of the cards.
Key Features:
-
Single-player and local multiplayer or play against an AI opponent
-
30 levels available in single-player mode
-
Over 190 unique cards
-
Over 55 category cards (e.g. colors, sports, fruits, US states, etc.) featuring beautiful original concept artwork
-
1, 2, and 3 card draw (see explanation below)
-
Post-game stats
Multiple Card Draw:
The multiple card draw mechanic functions similarly to the way cards are drawn from the deck in a game of Solitaire. Either 2 or 3 cards are drawn at a time and are revealed in a stacked configuration (see graphic below). The top-most card must be earned before the underlying cards can be earned.
Game Modes:
In addition to solo play, the Steam version introduces quick play with two all new game modes, including Pass And Play mode that enables local multiplayer games for playing with friends and _Versus AI _mode that allows you to play against an AI opponent:
Solo Play:
Solo Play (i.e. single-player) offers 30 individually-crafted levels divided into 9 distinct categories: Food, Animal, Geography, English, Science, Home & Living, Culture, Society, and Miscellaneous.
Versus AI:
Play a custom PVE game against an AI opponent with two different custom difficulty settings.
Pass and Play:
Play against a friend locally or remotely on the same device. Customizable game play options include time limit and card-draw (number of cards revealed from deck per draw).__

ACT IT OUT XL! A Game of Charades - Designed for Twitch
I originally bought this on the Wii U and one feature that was missing there (but is here and in the PS4 version) is the connectivity to Twitch, Mixer and YouTube.
Let me just say first of all. This is great fun with friends and family and works as a brilliant couch-play / party game.
But for me, the real fun is being able to stream it. Casually making a fool of yourself is what the internet is all about and I’m pleased to say that I had a great first stream with this. The viewers were engaged and having a good time, and playing the game is easy, easy, easy.

Happy Words
Thank you! For a few years, I’ve been let down by not finding a decent Scrabble-like game. This is..pretty good. What would really improve it a lot, is if there could be a nonfamily-friendly setting; if you misspell a word, it gets thrown out & you lose your turn. That would make the game much more intense – then you actually have to know words. Still, for the price, it’s nice and much better than the free online scrabble & literati; the graphics, the choices of boards & tiles, and the music makes it much more fun. A real steal for 5 bucks.

It’s certifiably scuffed.
I’ve yet to have a game where it’s not bugged out and denied me a turn. The bots in offline play are absolute monsters that occasionally decide to skip like 4 turns in a row for no discernible reason. The dictionary has some truly ridiculous words in it and excludes many terms that are included in other dictionaries. However it’s dirt cheap for the only Scrabble variant on the platform, and it doesn’t throw a tantrum and crash when you’re in a game which is always a key factor in longer games like this.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
This game is beautifully made and very realistic looking. Choice of different male and female avatars to pick from. It’s a fun game to play with up to 10 friends. You can play solo, take turns answering the questions or compete against friends. The level of difficulty increased as I advanced in the game. I also get to unlock packs of more topics with the currency earned in the game. I tried playing online, but was unable to connect to any players to get the co-op achievement in the game. So I looked into the Hub for the game and found friends that I added to get the achievement. I think this achievement might be obtainable with the Remote Play as long as at least one player connects using a controller. The game needs some dialog improvements with the host while interacting with contestants. Voices overlap between the host and some contestant when the final answer is confirmed, however it doesn’t interfere with the game to the point of obstructing play. Is something that the developers will have to fix with an update and shouldn’t prevent anyone from buying it. In my opinion it’s a game worth trying despite the mixed reviews. There are some questions where the answers are wrong e.g., Ryan Seacrest is the host for American Idol, but in the game the answer is marked as incorrect and America’s Got Talent as the right answer. This was a mistake done by the programmer and I hope that the developers fix it along with the other few wrong answers in the game. The price is way too high instead should sell for about $9.99. I wish that in the future more topic packs of questions are added and I can join online contestants from all over the world. The game was released only 4 months ago and it’s available in multiple languages,which is great because in my case I can speak more than one language so I will be enjoying the game several times over practicing those languages 3

If I’m going to be honest, we were sure due for another WWTBAM game since 2011 (Special Editions), and honestly, I personally enjoy it.
Now, I can get with the few sceptics from other reviewers, but personally, this game is catered for everyone who wants a bit of fun, not just fans of the show who knows most things about the show off by heart.
Updates would be needed to improve on the game, but I personally think we need to understand that they’ve at least put the effort in trying to replicate the dialogue of game, as seen on shows, the localisation with the intros, graphics and questions, trying to get people around the world, or in their respective country, to play the game together, which hardly has been done before on online.
