5.0/5

Steam needs no introduction. It is the biggest platform for PC gaming, the digital distribution solution from Valve managing to bring together thousands of games under one umbrella.

Besides being a gaming client, the app also incorporates a storefront, as well as ample community-oriented features, such as forums, discussion hubs, workshops, and more.

Upon creating an account and downloading the app, you will be first greeted by the "Library" tab, where you'll be able to see your games. Upon interacting with one of them, achievements, developer news, as well as community content relating to that title will be displayed.

Navigating to the Store tab will bring up the newly-released games and the latest promotions. Further down the page, more such elements will appear. Upon clicking on a game from there, you'll be brought to its page, where you can buy it, get informed about the gameplay, requirements, the other users' opinions, and so forth.

The features to accommodate a community are plentiful here. You can discuss with other users in the forums, share artworks in the game-specific discussion hubs, join a group centered around a common interest, and much more.

You can customize your profile, showcase your games, add a memorable description and slick background, all in the name of personalization. While online gaming, you will come across a multitude of other users, each with distinct pages.

Aside from having the ones passionate about a game come together in the community hub, the "Workshop" tab is where the modding happens. Various game-altering content — for the titles that support it — can be found there, and the Steam integration makes a rather convoluted process streamlined and hassle-free.

There is so much more to Steam than meets the eye. News, the Points Shop, the Broadcasts, the Discovery Queue, the sales, the Labs, and many others. With so many features, it can be understood why Valve's client is the premier PC gaming platform — and the concurrent user stats would concur.

To that end, it can be stated that its popularity is not without renown: the amount of features packed into a single client is impressive, to say the least.
