I've updated Enhanced Steam for Mozilla Firefox to version 6.4:

  • Added a progress bar to the header that indicates if Enhanced Steam is processing requests
  • Added a "lightbox" effect to app page screenshots
  • Added a list of friends that own a game on the "friends that play" page
  • Increased Early Access detection speed (thanks henryg!)
  • Fixed the number of API requests to conform with Valve's throttling limits
  • Fixed a bug that caused PCGamingWiki links not to show correctly
  • Fixed a bug where sometimes the altered greenlight banner would not show correctly
The plugin should update automatically based on your browser's extension settings. As always, please let me know if you run into any issues.

Great update, I love the lightbox effect. Would it be possible to dim/black out the Steam page to make the screenshots stand out more? I find it a bit jarring when you can see the screenshots from the game's Steam page right behind the screenshot in the light box.

So, Hexcells

If you're a fan of Picross or logic games in general, buy Hexcells!

Well, actually, to be more accurate, Buy Hexcells and Hexcells Plus!

Bought both of them during the sale and just finished off Hexcells Plus. Every impression I read about the game beforehand recommended buying both, and they're not lying. Hexcells by itself never really gets going, and in the grand scheme of things, acts as a tutorial. The levels get a bit larger later on, but there's nothing in there that's overly challenging. I ended up beating it in about two hours, entertained but slightly underwhelmed. Figuring that I may as well plow through the other game, I went ahead and installed Plus, expecting to be done with it in a similar fashion.

Final time after beating the final Hexcells Plus puzzle: 13 hours.

So yeah, that's where the challenge is.

Yeah, both are quite excellent games, and the first one is like a tutorial to the Plus; the design of the levels is top-notch, sometimes I get stuck for some time before I find the next move, but when I do it's very rewarding.

Only thing is I would like more levels to be uploaded periodically, similarly to what they do with Lyne.

I've reached out to Matthew Brown a while ago and he mentioned something about doing third game after he's done with brining Sentinel to Steam.

The Wolf Among Us is an amazing game.
Played it on PS3 though. Dat lag fest.

Really liked the characters and story. I actually started reading the comics because of it.

Oh nice, will definitely pick up once it's back up. BTW so many people picked up Deponia on my Activity list, what is this game and is it that good to where everyone is picking it up for 40$ or 20$ in Russia?
Click to expand...

It is a collection of love them or hate them point & click adventure games with great art, decent puzzles, and a terrible human being as a protagonist.
If you had the three games prior to this collected release it was $5 and you could buy as many copies as you wanted. So kind people here bought many copies for the rest of us (JaseC bought mine!)

You and me both. The silver lining is there's no reason not to enter "one of these is bad rats" giveaways anymore.

I'm too scared to actually win Bad Rats, but the thrill is amazing. Never won one of those giveaways. :(
