Halloween Horrors Deluxe Steam Edition

is a very lazy "slot machine" simulator. It doesn't seem to have MTX in it, so it's not a gambling scam, it's just, well, a lame PC representation of a lame pastime that loses a lot of people a lot of money. That's sure the kind of thing PC gaming really needed. Not. The represented game is a somewhat newfangled "slot" game where the matching tiles can be on a number of different lines... well if you've been to a casino you'll know. It's fairly faithful in that regard, but the quality of implementation here is low. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. Problematically, the user interface for this game is just a 2D text heavy panel with a few static images... it might as well be a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browser, it's just not rich or compelling enough to appeal to serious gamers. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low quality art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals. So while this looks and feels like a mobile app or a browser game, but I wasn't able to find it on the app stores. Maybe it was removed, maybe it was rejected by Apple and Google (they do have more rigorous quality standards than Valve does for Steam, after all). Regardless, for all intents and purposes this is a mobile app, it has the same limitations and dumbed down qualities. It's impossible to recommend such a game to PC gamers. We don't spend all this money building gaming rigs so we can pretend they're iPhones. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
