Prisoners
The multiplayer mode remains the only consistent draw in this indie action title. Post‑release, 60 % of reviews are positive, while the overall Steam history shows a 67 % positive rate. However, the game’s content is sparse and plagued by bugs, turning many sessions into brief, unfulfilling encounters.
