Fragsurf

"Fragsurf" is a mediocre FPS with, bizarrely, about a dozen people that actually play it, for no discernable reason. It's incomplete and has been in development hell since 2020... 4 years and they still can't work out how to make the game. Early Access is an unmitigated disaster, and Fragsurf is one example of thousands. It's just a barebones FPS arena shooter with particularly bad assets, and some mechanics that come across as a bit of a ripoff of Tribes. Nothing of interest for serious gamers here. The developers rarely update this, the last update was 4 months ago. It will never be completed. This unfinished game is just polluting Steam and making it harder for gamers to find genuinely, completely made games. In terms of visuals, this features fairly low quality low poly 3D visuals which will deter a lot of gamers, understandably. Gaming is a visual medium, and while some developers struggle with creating high quality visuals, failing to do so is a disservice to gamers. It's very difficult to recommend bad looking games. This is only superficially free. The real purpose for this game is for the developer to exploit Steam Inventory items that drop through the game. They get a cut from those items on the Steam Community Marketplace. This is effectively the same as NFTs, only with Steam Marketplace items instead of blockchain tokens. This kind of thing is really not okay. No time to finish the game, but all the time in the world to inject "NFT's" into it. This is pollution... it's harmful to everyone. It hurts genuine indie devs, who have to compete with this pollution to get visibility for their sincerely made games. It makes indie devs look bad. It makes it harder for gamers to find those genuinely made games. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
