One of the latest indie games to take Steam’s Top Sellers page by storm is Content Warning, which launched for the grand price of absolutely nothing on 1 April. Being completely free to install (and keep!) during its first 24 hours of being available, it’s no wonder that so many players have flocked to Content Warning to see what this bizarre title really entails. But is Content Warning worth buying now that the free Steam giveaway is over?
Yes, and no. At just £6.69, this charming – and slightly creepy – content creator sim is arguably worth giving a whirl. As of right now, the game has been claimed by over 6.2 million players, and in my experience, it’s easy to see why this game has instantly taken off despite its initial zero dollar price-tag. That said, you do also have to bear in mind that this is a multiplayer game that can easily become repetitive, much like Lethal Company. So, you may want to give this one a miss or wait for some additional updates before purchasing.
On top of that, Content Warning is developed by Landfall Games, who is also responsible for the likes of Stick Fight: The Game and Totally Accurate Battle Simulator. So, if you’re a fan of Landfall’s goofy physics and distinct visuals, I’d again encourage you to splash your spare cash on Content Warning. As minimal as it can be, it’s definitely a real treat with the right group of friends, and it definitely feels unique – even with its very overt similarities to Lethal Company.
