Some of my games do not load up. Some work perfectly, while others i click Play (on steam) and it gives a loading, then says syncing and doesn't open. I've already done basic troubleshooting like updating drivers and verify integrity. Nothing but the game "Duck Game" give me an error message/log. Not sure what the problem is, but help is wanted and needed. Thank you.

Some Working Games : Payday 2, Mafia 3, Stick Fight, Garry's Mod
Some Broken Games : Terraria, Stardew Valley, Blood and Bacon, Duck Game

Your problem might be Steam not properly installing the XNA Framework on first boot for the game. I'm not sure about all of the games there, but a few if not all of them should have a _CommonRedist folder. If you go into that folder and find the XNA folder, there should be an installer named something like "xnafx40_redist.msi". Try to reinstall that, and if that doesn't work then you might want to go on microsoft's website and reinstall the framework: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=20914
