iOS Ports: The Fall

If you've checked Steam recently, you might have seen a "new" game called Deus Ex: The Fall. This game is a port of an iOS game by the same name. Unfortunately, the port was a piece of shit.

It has various bugs in the game. On bug I encountered was when I was taking cover behind a bunch of barrels, I picked up the pocket secretary on top of it, and it caused me to clip through the ground. I did a non-lethal takedown on a person while we were both under a bridge, but the pre-animated takedown played out above the bridge. The controls are considerably changed from Human Revolution, because the controls are straight from the iOS version just reassigned to keys on the keyboard.

Unfortunately, there have been a large number of games on Steam's new releases tab that are just ports of an iOS game that's been out and was popular. Steam is on a downhill right now. It needs to start building up again. Starting with quality control.
