I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gambling
Every so often a game comes along that revolutionizes a genre or gaming as a whole. This is one of those games.
With ICBING, there are no gimmicks, no bamboozles. No pre-order bonuses, no DLC, no map packs, nothing. Just a rich gaming experience. The moment you start the game you get right to it. You are greeted by your first challenge. The trashcan. All alone in a stunningly generated room with next gen graphics. From here the game changing design intuitively kicks in as you are greeted with a button. “Open Loot Box” After a few moments of taking in the beautifully generated trash can, I decide to take the plunge… I press the button. Upon the pressing of the button, the trashcan draws in closer and shakes… again… and once more as it erupts like a geyser. Emerging from this amazingly lifelike trash can is what can only be described as gifts from our one and only. Gaben. My rewards for embarking on the journey of clicking the button. To my amazement, it is equally beautifully generated additions for my trashcan. Different trash bags, trashcan lids, thrown out Trump protest signs. I can truly express my individuality through my very own unique and custom trashcan.

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gambling is a parody of the ongoing dilemma of loot boxes within games, taking our hard earned money and rewarding us with the same item for the 50th time.
Pros:
-Joy of opening loot boxes and receiving absolute crap without the massive dent in your wallet.
-Not BF2, a simple game which does not have ridiculous DLC’s .
-It has Steam Achievements.
Cons:
-My joy for opening lootboxes has been killed now.
If you dislike playing for lootboxes, but still want to open them up then this is the game for you

The Thief Girl ~ 盗賊少女 ~
Surprisingly a very fun and enjoyable puzzle/horror game! You have to steal treasure while not being seen or caught by different monsters. I enjoyed the different tiers in the level with how much treasure you collect, how often you are seen and how often you are caught to create more suspense and strategy while playing the game. Sometimes it was a little buggy but overall a great game!!
3/5

I Can’t Believe It’s Not Gambling 2(K)
The float on the drop sucks and the minigames are a chore really - good try tho.
Also the spin is so damn slow that I just want to leave my computer alone while it clicks for me.
As a note, I enjoyed the previous installments of the franchise; but this one has too many waiting mechanics that I can’t get myself to play it.
Not worth the asking price for a idle clicker

BattleJuice Alchemist
Juice, the alchemist, is called to Caribou Creek to fight the demons that roam the lands. As your unique version of Juice you explore the procedurally generated wilderness that once was New England. Fight evil in classic action RPG isometric top down view and in bullet-time close combat.
Find and craft items with game-changing powers. Master BattleJuice Alchemist’s deck-building mechanics by arranging your compilation of flasks to suit your playstyle. Accentuate your character beyond character customization by using ritual magic as long-term buffs. Meet strange creatures from the Crossroads while the dark plot of BattleJuice Alchemist unravels.
UNIQUE ITEMS AND CHARACTER BUILDS
Loot and Craft
As an alchemist you wear no armor and wield no sword, but you rain down fire on your enemies. Find flasks with unique properties in the wilderness or craft them at your workbench. In deck-building fashion you create a compilation of flasks which you randomly draw from.
Unique Skill System
In BattleJuice Alchemist, your flasks are your skills. Every flask can be used the normal way and at times in a supercharged, “jucified” way for stronger effects. Some flasks have powers attached to them that drastically change their effects when used, which allows you to develop your own playstyle.
EXPLORE A DARK WORLD
Procedural Landscapes
The world of BattleJuice Alchemist is separated into vast levels of procedural landscape. Every valley, sea, river, mountain, building, stone, tree and item is placed by a unique algorithm. This allows you to continue exploring after you completed the main story and no playthrough will be the same.
Dark Lands to Discover
You are influenced by daytime and weather effects and so are your enemies. But they are also buffed by the evermore spawning demons’ presence. Find dark altars to hold their influence at bay and discover many other secrets.
ENGAGING COMBAT
Classic isometric ARPG action
Fight your enemies from afar in classic top down view. Throw explosive or freezing flasks at them, prepare ambushes of explosive barrels. Use the “Frog Hop” flask to jump away from danger or right into close combat.
Close Combat with Bullet-time
Enter close combat with an enemy, where you can interact hands on by dodging or using smoke flasks to avoid being hit. Manage your resources and flasks during these intense one on one battles against your awe-inspiring enemies from the Crossroads.
Ascendants Rising
the game is still at its early stage, the tutorial is very simple, at the beginning you have to press “V” to continue with the tutorial, after defeating the final boss, you will go into the hub were you can team up with your friends, at the moment it does not have a LFG system, according to the dev on discord they say it is going to be added in the future, so if you want to play you have to find friends on their discord and add them on steam, invite them through steam and then you can play. The game is good looking, we have to keep in mind this is an alpha and that new content and fixes will be delivered. At the moment this is not a single player game, you have to either go to the game discord and find people there or your group of friends has to buy the game as well.

I love the PvE aspect of the game in the Coliseum. It is also very challenging cause the bosses are really hard to beat!
Currently there are some bugs and some of the servers are not running well. But these are trivial and I believe that the devs can easily fix them in the coming days or maybe weeks at max.
Should you try the game? For sure! See you at the Coliseum!

Dreams and Nightmares
gameplay review: fight stuff. that’s about it, if there’s other stuff to do i haven’t fount it yet
so i got a bunch of bugs:
game has crashed multiple times… at least it has autosave i guess?
graphics settings don’t save
if you level up multiple times from one monster (like you can from certain golems) you only get one skillpoint. didn’t check stat points, but that’s likely to have the same issue
seems like most areas only drop gear with extremely low levels. so the only place to get high level gear is the shops… sometimes. as a side effect, there’s no way to earn zs quickly, so high-level gear in shops quickly gets prohibitively expensive

I played for about an hour today and so far it’s pretty good fun. The maps are large and it is really an experience getting from point a to point b. I do wish there were keyboard character controls, but that could be something for when this comes out of Beta. I did have an issue once where I was being attacked by an invisible enemy and another glitch were things stopped attacking me all together. I’m looking forward to playing more. The voice acting so far is really really good. I’m excited to get the part I voiced.

Ortharion project
The game is a bit different than your traditional ARPG, but almost all of what it does works and its one of the most fun arpg games I have played since diablo 2.
One of the big differences is the controls, its wasd+mouse to aim, this is normally associated with MMO’s not arpg’s but it really works for this game and I have just as much fun rounding up groups of mobs to aoe to death as with traditional mouse point and click controls.
This game has one of the deepest/richest item, skills, loot systems I have ever seen in a arpg. It’s too complex to explain breifly, but if you like grinding for gear and min/maxing stats..this game won’t disappoint you!

Pros:
-
A myriad of build options, including character attributes, a large passive tree, an evolution tree, spell upgrades, spell runes, gear crafting, gems, build-enabling abilities on epic and legendary gear, plus achievements that provide bonuses (and not just to your current character). Digging through the possibilities is perhaps the best aspect of the game.
-
Drops are frequent, and thanks to the crafting system, getting decent gear for your level is straightforward.
-
Everything you find is useful in some way (if only to change into gold), and there’s a clear endgame (being able to reliably complete +100 dungeons).

SPL: Skilled Pilots Live
This game is some straight forward honest arcade shooting fun with some nice features thrown in to keep it interesting; weapon choices , ship enhancements, crafting, loot (new), allied wingmen (new) and a ring flying game. I get my my fix of it in an 30 mins to an hour a play which is perfect for me as time is hard to come by for me . I found the game to have medium/hard difficulty, but the difficulty scales based on how you play the game and you are rewarded with a higher score and rewards etc. Too easy then go for the 100%+ encounters too hard stay around 50% and grind a bit until you get better gear. The bosses tend to be the hardest part,but all good boss battles are :) I think of it as if R type had a 3d baby with Doom, and Souls :) In its state now I would rate it above average ,but with the potential to be a great game with more guidance from the community and hard work from the developer.

A little rough around the edges, and a bit light handed on the tutorial however this game grows on you very quickly.
The combat is different from most 4x style games there is a lot of control over the ship. There are a few things I have noticed that I am sure will be fixed my biggest problem is when enemy ships are close together your ship does not seem to know who to lock onto. ( but there is a weapon type that does take care of this. ) My biggest issue with the game would be even thou it controls very nice an fluid there is a lack of feeling. (( what i mean by a lack of feeling is that it feels like your not moving. If it was not for the wave like field that is around your ship when moving i would think i was sitting still. )) All in All I would rate this game a solid 7 out of 10. An with that bottom line is the game is FUN, FLUID,EASY TO LEARN.
