This week’s Mystery Steam Reviews is all coffin sex and shovelsThe Bull Macabre
The Bull Macabre
Every Monday evening, my pal and I get cross with one another for around three quarters of an hour. Things are mostly cordial, light-hearted and fun duringThe PC Gaming Weekspot(our live, weekly video podcast), but Mystery Steam Reviews just brings out the worst in us.
Still… it’s good craic.
We focus on a different year every week, and this week we’ve gone back to 2014. Teasing any of the games would be giving away the answers, so instead I’ll tell you that this edition of MSR has one of the worst usages of the Genre lifeline in this competition’s long and storied history. Something to look forward to before you hit play.

You might also want to catch up withlast week’s round of MSR, which got, if anything, even more heated than this week.
MYSTERY STEAM REVULES
For those not in the know, or who need a refresher.
Myself and Matthew both bring five Steam reviews to the MSR arena (yes, arena), but we omit the name of the game each review is for. Our opponent must correctly guess that game. One correct answer = one point.
While both combatants have two minutes on each Mystery Steam Review, they also have help in the form of three lifelines. These can be used at any stage during battle, and pause the two-minute timer. Each lifeline can only be used once.
Questionallows whoever is in the hot seat to ask a simple yes or no question, as long as the question isn’t, “is the name of the game [insert name of the game here]. WhenClueis used… well… a clue must be given to the occupant of the warm chair. It can be cryptic, but it can’t be unfair. And whenGenreis activated, the genre of the game is revealed to the man with the fiery arse.
