Steam has it tagged as a PvE game. I took a chance on it because of the PvE tag. I thought it would be like WOW where you would be able to opt not to PvP. I should have read the reviews before I bought it. Too late for a refund now.
You can tag it on the store page. If enough people do that, the tag shows on the page for everybody. If that happens with enough games, valve sometimes officially adopts the tag.
It’s clear you didn’t actually read the page, or check reviews, or check any of the communities, or do any basic research before buying the game. Your “complaints” can be summed up as “uninformed consumer”. What do you think an extraction shooter even is?
If this were a review on Steam I’d mark is as unhelpful and give it the 🤡 award.
Strongly disagree. The possibility that someone might at any time choose betrayal adds a lot to otherwise PvE lobbies. It is what creates the positive feelings when they freely choose cooperation. If it is just built into the game that they have to cooperate, it is emotionally meaningless. Having the emotional experience of trust and support from strangers is very powerful, and I think it’s a defining element of AR.
I have a couple of questions, one about this device and one for anyone just in general:
For Android games, does this have the actual Google play store? Or do you need to use the Aurora store? And if so, do you use a throwaway account because Google might decide that they aren’t OK with that someday?
This is available with 8 GB or 12 GB of memory. I’ve never played PS2 games on one of these handhelds before – would 8 GB be fine for that?
Yes, this is Google Play certified, so it has the full Google Play Store to access. But, if you’d prefer some anonymity, feel free to install Aurora!
I don’t typically bother with a throwaway account. MFC makes any risk well and truly mitigated, but I also don’t use Google, so if the worst of the worst did happen, I wouldn’t be sad. You can do either, but I and most reviewers I know don’t bother with a dummy account!
Yes the 8GB will be well and truly fine to run PS2 games! Think of the 12 as essential for PC games (via GameHub Lite), it just gives you the headroom to make that an easier experience. You’ll be able to play and upscale PS2 perfectly fine with the 8GB version.
I felt like everyone I know has at least owned one, and they where more consoles where actually used as Netflix boxes back then out of necessity due to lack of good smart TVs or set top boxes.
Plus they had an extra 5 years of being around, not to count the fact most early adopters bought another twice, especially with the 360 due to RROD.
I got a knock off(and much lower powered) version of this guy! Called an r36s.i love it so much! Plays up to most Dreamcast and psp and a handful of n64 games.
Dunno what it is about the form factor that make me like it more than my switch form factor guys.
The R36S is so popular that it transcended being a niche hobby product. They’re curated, bought and sold everywhere! Even throughout places like Instagram and TikTok. So you’re well and truly holding the most popular of the handhelds!
But do watch out, because the relative cheapness of some of these handhelds can be a dangerously slipperly slope to collecting them :P
Lol. You’re absolutely right. But I’m buying sub $100 ones cause I’m not so flush. So far I got like 5 I think. But I spend the most time on the r36s. Recently just went through all the GBA Castlevanias on 2 charges! 2! I’m talking dozens of hours and only needed to charge it once! But that was on an upgraded battery. When I replaced it I accidentally ripped the wires out of the micro jst connector, and just shoved them back in and it still works!
All that praise aside, the start button is becoming less responsive. So your mileage may vary if any other person is considering one. Also if you do get one, replace the sd card immediately! I didn’t have an issue, but have heard it is very common.

ABSOLUTELY replace it! They’re ticking time bombs (in a not so flash bang fashion). It will die, the question isn’t if, but when. Also the USB cable they supply? Not trustworthy for the R36S!
…that said, I’m loving that you’re so happy playing older games. The best retro handheld is the one you already own and love, after all!
Check Craigslist, FB Marketplace, Letgo–just general classifieds. Can generally find decent deals on 1 to 2 generation old PCs, especially if you’re near a US Military installation or college.
Edit: just checked Boulder’s CL–10700k, 3080, 32GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 850w PSU and a 27in, 1440p, IPS Monitor for $1000
Because Sony and Microsoft make most of their money from other sources. That isn't to says their game studios aren't big, just that they don't make 90% of revenue.
But they have gaming divisions which are technically their own companies. This chart js definitely cherry-picking. I didn’t even mention that “gaming” is highly subjective already. There’s more than just MS & Sony missing from this chart.
This was a really nice write-up, and I’ve poked around your site some, because it’s so inviting to do so. It reminds me of the last really wonderful time on the Internet before the start of the dark ages, where people were figuring out how to bring some usability and visual class to their websites, but not everything on earth had moved to platforms like social media and microblogging sites. Bravo to you for being one of the beacons that we can still turn this thing around.
While poking around I found your review of the AYANEO Pocket AIR Mini, which I look forward to reading presently (since I just ordered one like two days ago after my Anbernic RG 35XX H went belly-up on me).
Especially for the compliments on the site. Which I should add is actually created and ran by Gardiner Bryant who you might recognize from YouTube?!, but I’m an author on the site. And his good friend. So the fact you pivoted and read through other posts, and enjoyed it?
I can’t tell you how happy that makes me (us!) :)
And you’ll love the AIR Mini, though AYANEO is currently being put through the wringer for promising the world and being very slack with deliveries. So I do hope yours get posted and delivered soon.
Get a Steam Deck? You can hook it up like a PC, use it sat around. Though its not a powerhouse. Wait and see how the Steam Machine fairs? There's still a good second hand market for parts too.
Its a shitty time at the moment with scumbag companies and AI, so consumers are completely fucked.
Also: Fuck subscriptions.
Plus the game pass versions of games are complete dogshit compared to the Steam versions most of the time.

I think the Wii stole the momentum. PS3 and 360 were just crazy expensive compared to the Wii and the prev gen of consoles. And unlike PS2 those two consoles lacked a lot of games for kids. So for parents it was an easy decision to just get a Wii. Not to mention if you already had a PS2 you had a large library of games at your disposal and the machine was modable, it’s why it still sold very well in the end of the console’s lifetime especially in middle income regions, like it sold super well in South America. So many PS2 owners weren’t going to convert to PS3, just way too expensive and can’t play pirated games.
