Review: Avabel On Steam Is Lowest Of Low Effort
What can I say about Avabel Online?
Its interface is hideous.
The translation is as low effort as it gets.
The game doesn’t work half the time.
And it literally suggests starting out with auto-quest on before you’ve even taken your first step. Yes, Avabel makes no pretence on being fun to play, just throw that auto-play on and maybe toss developer Asobimo a few hundred bucks for the privilege of having a dull, uninspired ripoff of a mobile game play itself.
Now that Bluestacks is bridging the gap between low effort mobile games and low effort PC games, any fly by night developer can pay $100 to have their mobile title developed on the budget of a White Castle slider foisted onto the Steam Store where it will get buried under a sea of other low effort cash grabs with the only hopes of coverage in the form of ridicule from some loser living in his own basement.
Final Score: 0/10 – I’m sure at least one desperate fanboy will tell me that this game is better than anything that came out on PC.

An MMO On Steam: Spelling Quest Online
Spelling Quest Online is certainly a game and is absolutely on Steam.
I’ll come right out and admit that I downloaded Spelling Quest Online because it is free to play and in early access, and also because it is tagged in the MMO category. Spelling Quest Online is multiplayer free-form scrabble, which is a fancy way of saying that nobody takes turns as much as you just throw down tiles and hope for the best. You can connect to random boards and just go to town for the ten minutes until the game gets boring and you want to stop and play something fun.
The boards have words that people can easily spell, like anal and bruv. There is a dictionary check when you want to make a word, but I’m not sure what dictionary the game cross-references that thinks bruv is a word because while the Cambridge dictionary recognizes it, the Oxford dictionary does not. There are daily quests that offer you gold which can be used to replace letters. I assume that most of the people playing this game are cheating. I cheated and used a Scrabble helper website because my gaming skills are only second in their inadequacy to my knowledge of words.
I will readily admit that I quit after ten minutes when completing words left me with a hand consisting almost entirely of Y’s, V’s, and X’s and literally no way to continue playing (I didn’t have any gold) on that map. I probably could have found a spot to put one or two of the Y’s but I didn’t feel like putting more effort than this game is worth. Which is nothing.
As for the developer Craig Schwartz, I will continue to love your character in the film Being John Malkovich, even if they didn’t give you anything to do in the sequel; Being John Malkovich 2: District Dafoe.
No Man’s Sky Dropping Beyond Update This Summer
No Man’s Sky is seeing another big content drop this year in the form of Beyond, set to launch this summer. Not a whole lot of information is available right now, however Beyond appears to be an overhaul to the game’s online multiplayer mode.
As stated by Hello Games founder Sean Murray:
“No Man’s Sky Online includes a radical new social and multiplayer experience which empowers players everywhere in the universe to meet and play together. While this brings people together like never before, and has many recognizable online elements, we don’t consider No Man’s Sky to be an MMO — it won’t require a subscription, won’t contain microtransactions, and will be free for all existing players.”
More information on Beyond is set to release in the coming weeks.

Jagged Alliance Online To Sunset November 30
Jagged Alliance Online: Reloaded is the latest victim of online-only games, as developer/publisher Cliffhanger Productions announced last week that the servers will come down in November. Initially launched into open beta way back in 2012, developed by Cliffhanger Productions and published at the time by Gamigo. In 2015, the game was rebooted on Steam, now self-published by Cliffhanger, for a base asking price.
“It is with great regret, that we have to announce the servers for JAO will be closing by end of November and the game will cease to exist. We kept the game running for as long as we could – for a long time now it cost us more than we earned- but unfortunately we don’t have the means to continue to do so any more.”
Cliffhanger Productions is currently advertising its next title set for launch this fall: Jagged Alliance: Rage! Rage is a spinoff set 20 years after the first Jagged Alliance. As for Jagged Alliance Online, the game has been sitting at single digit average player counts for well over two years now.
