It’s a new blog post about the games looking for votes on Steam Greenlight! This time it is for the games of October 28 to 30, 2016.
A few notes and I’ll get to the games. First, this list does not include all of the games up for votes. Second, isn’t meant to be a list of the must vote for games on Greenlight. Everyone has differing tastes when it comes to games and it would defeat the purpose of making such a list if I include all of them. I will give all games a fair chance to leave an impression on me though.
A few rules that help me out:
- If a game does not have a trailer, it will not be included.
- A game must look ready for Greenlight for me to include it.
- Reposted games that I have gone over in a previous blog post will not be included.
- Games must have understandable English in their descriptions of the game to be included.
Here are the latest Games:
