I wanted to love this game, but found it hard to get into because it requires team effort (mainly a healer at your back) or you die exceptionally fast. Unlike Unreal Tournament or Counter-Strike: Source where you can easily play a quick lone wolf match
That's the first time I've heard anyone say "You die too quick in *TF2*, unlike *Counter Strike*" :-) On staying alive: the key there is knowing when to back out of danger and retreat to the resupply zone at your base.
I guess the distinction is how fast your opponents die too. In CS:S its completely even, based on skill. In TF2 a heavy with a healer can mow down non-heavies with impunity
To take down a Heavy+Medic: snipe the medic, jump behind the pair as a pyro and burninate medic, sneak up as a spy and stab medic, etc. They're tough, but not unbeatable, if you go for the weak link.
The best team-oriented online FPS, bar none. Cartoon environments meet very intense tactics. Gameplay thoroughly polished to a mirror sheen. Love the differences between the classes, especially the highly unique spy and medic. Great mod community.

Play your games
Have a big game library, but can't find anything to play? You can limit your searches to just the games you own, while still using all the fancy search filters.
Steam Holiday Sales
Have you noticed the Steam Summer/Winter sales constantly feature the same games on the front page year after year? We let you easily filter by year, discount, and rating, blocking unwanted items with a single click.
No Censorship
Uncensored tags
Steam reviews are becoming a closed and heavily moderated system. There are only ~300 tags shown to the general public, with anything they think is problematic for sales (like "Mobile port") vanishing from public view.
Full Steam game list
Steam hides store pages if there are copyright or other disputes surrounding the game (which is more frequent than you might realize), preventing you from curating these titles. We unhide and allow you to comment on them!
Stable platform
Over the past few years of Steam curation I've had hundreds of reviews just vanish without notification, and it often takes weeks for Steam Support to restore them. The 3rd time it happened was during a holiday sale, making my reviews useless for subscribers while the games were deeply discounted!
Convenience
Easy import
Import your game library and friends directly from Steam in one click!
Easy filtering
Steam "deal" sites focus on prices, not on helping you find the game you really want before you look for a good price! Take our search page for a test drive!
Good games
Our goal is to help you find the best games for you, supporting good devs whether they're huge studios or nimble indies. We don't play favorites for the big money publishers.
