The Island

The Island

Beautiful amazing game and although I haven’t really been all that into survival games before, this one caught my eye and I’ve been hooked since. I love it and definitely recommended to those who enjoy games of this kind.

As the story apparently goes, you take the role of a young woman who was sailing in her boat but lost control and crash landed on a beach of an uncharted island. When you come to, you feel thirsty, hungry, and are all but lost in your new surroundings.

The only things you start with are some cookies, a few cans of soda, your trusty survival book, and a knife. After that you’re on your own. Prowling wild animals being your only neighbors, some of which don’t take too kindly to your presence… (they will attack you if they see you). And at that point you either make them your next source of food, or, well… you become theirs.

OK, first and foremost, totally worth it for the price. Graphics are excellent. Very playable on Easy. It has a way to go in development, but 5 bucks for a game that you can easily pass 5 hours in is worth it. Crafting system is fun enough, (if it lets you click on the item in the guide book, click it, that’s how you make it. Otherwise just put the appropriate amount of ingredients in your inventory and craft.) Clay in in the inland lakes and rivers. Iron and Sulfur don’t show up in incremental bits, you get nothing until you’ve whacked it a bunch. All of the animals take about the same number of hits, you don’t really need to avoid any of them. Go back to the starting area for soda and crackers, they respawn. There is a wood and stick grind that cold be improved in the mid game. I am interested to see where this goes. Oh, you have to forgive the animal variety on desert island, they wouldn’t all live there but what the hell, they work out to meat and leather.

Wanted Raccoon

Wanted Raccoon

I really love how fun WANTED RACCOON is & I’ve been really looking forward to playing this awesome game everyday as new content missions are added almost daily. I play a lot of RPG type games & they can quickly get boring with mindless button mashing & uninspired content. That isn’t the case with this game because so far the missions are very interesting to complete & sometimes the things you have to do are really funny. I can easily see myself replaying this game just for the sheer fun it offers plus the animal characters are super cute! The concept of using animals as the main characters is so cool that I wish more games would follow their example. I hope they offer a way to customize your raccoon in the future like maybe different shirts &/or hats & different styles of the backpack would be pretty neat. Another idea would be ways to vary the fur color pattern like maybe different under the eye fur patch shapes or different stripe patterns.

I will say that the game has a fair share of bugs–however, within the hour of the first game-breaking bug being found, the devs rolled out a patch to fix it. So, I’m not horrendously appalled by bugs, because they’re already showing how quickly they will fix them. It’s also very simple and quick to file bugs either on Discord or in-game.

The only other jarring potential is some localization issues to English. Which, I’m sure will be updated in time, as the devs are not English-based from what I can tell on their Discord. With the community as helpful as they seem, I’m sure a lot of the localization will be ironed out over time.

Lab Craft Survival

Lab Craft Survival

This is a difficult survival sandbox game that doesn’t hold your hand. If you like figuring things out yourself and discovering hidden game mechanics, you’ll enjoy this game. If you don’t have a high tolerance for failing though, you might find the game frustrating.

It’s definitely rough around the edges with several bugs and translation errors, and updates have been non-existent. If you’re looking for polish in a game, you won’t find it here, although overall I found it enjoyable.

An interesting game, a simple but addictive indie toy to use the skills of adaptation in an unknown environment. Top for your money

AI Drone Simulator

AI Drone Simulator

It has what it promised. I brought this to practice for real fpv. It does feel natural once you calibrate to your own quad (and this is a BIG thing). It has a very detailed and precise adjustements for the quad dimensions, weight… The presets are fun to discover possible new real drones to buy. The moving objects are quite fun to practice chasing around.

The only thing I might say it needs a bit more work is the map editor. But is okay once you get used to it and the good thing is that has the option to edit rather than not have it.

Its lego, in VR, its automatically cool. I will admit theres a couple of oddities, I dont get why the steps are repeated and it would be nice to rotate them rather than just move them around, make it clearer where hidden parts are going but seiroulsy, despite its flaws it works so well.

The Chewllers

The Chewllers

The Chewllers is a multiplayer, VR game, where 4 players protect the tower from monsters in Co-op mode. Evil creatures in this world are destroying everything they can chew. The main goal of the four players is to withstand the attacks of the “Chewllers”. You can fight against monsters in different ways, create your own crafted tools, or use existing explosive devices.

CHEWLLERS

You will see the different types of monsters in the game. Chewllers are distinguished from each other by their funny behaviors and abilities. Each requires an individual approach. The harder it is to deal with monsters, the greater the chance of them dropping resources, items, and chests.

CRAFTING WEAPONS

In the game, You will have primary and secondary weapons. The main weapon that the player constantly has is upgrading up to 5 levels. As for secondary weapons, there are 6 types of weapons that are functionally different from each other and have different roles. (Sniper, Shotgun, Crossbow, Grenade launcher, Machine gun, Potatoe Catapult). All secondary weapons are upgraded up to 3 levels.

THROWABLE ITEMS

There are 7 types of items available from which the player can make a bunch of weird and practical combinations of throwables. Creativity is the limit. Each of them has its own significance and uniqueness in various cases. Explosives, luring enemies, or chasing them are just a few of them.

Amazing exploration with really high-res video on an Oculus Quest 2. (Took as much rendering power as Half Life:Alex, but definitely worth it!)

Beautiful,

Played with the HTC Vive and the Oculus Rift S,

No issues of any kind and played very good with both types of Headsets.

One thing I wish for this game is snap turning.

Looks like it is made for more to come too.

Taught me a little Chinese Culture as well.

Thank you very much

Taiga

Taiga

Update Mar 2021 - The sole developer of the game, according to

his statement, has been (quite unexpectedly, judging by the tone

of his message) drafted into the Russian Armed Forces. My guess

as a former Soviet would be him suddenly dropping out of college

as a most likely reason. But I am not here to speculate.

Here is his message.

–——————————

An important announcement that you should know about. I, the developer of this game, was taken into the army until November 2021. Based on this, you have already realized that at this time I will not be able to continue development, and of course I will continue development with tripled strength when I return.

Somewhere on Zibylon

Somewhere on Zibylon

Note: My card idler went crazy on this one and gave me way too many played hours.

Somewhere in Zibylon is a Descent-like third person puzzle/exploration/combat game where you control a robot zone and fly through various environments.

While certainly a good concept, the implementation here is completely broken. Fixed controls, and broken controls (I was unable to propel the ship, I could just look around). Maybe with control mapping that could have been worked around but as is, for many gamers, this game will be unplayable. No resolution options either. $14 is a joke for an unplayable game.

What a cute little game! The puzzles are actually quite fun, though they do make me feel a bit stupid at times. Some are pure logic ones involving levers, weights, timing, and so forth, but a fair amount of others have to do with figuring out the geometry of the space you’re in. The game is quite beautiful at times, and while it feels (I can’t tell for sure yet) like it is not going to have many sandbox elements or choices, it’s pretty relaxing if you take your time. Just take a look at the video and I hope you’ll see that this is no ordinary “random game that was released with a flurry of other games on Steam”, the developer put a true effort into making it worth the bother.

Aquanox Deep Descent

Aquanox Deep Descent

Aquanox Deep Descent is the attempt to revive an older franchise. It began with a game named Archimedean Dynasty, released in 1996. 2 Sequels followed, under the new brand name of Aquanox.

All of those games were quite similar to the “three degrees of freedom” space simulation games that came up roughtly at the same time, but tried to put themselves apart by not going up, but rather down. All three might be considered aaa titles considering the amount of work and effort, as well as content they provided at the time. Even though their success probably fell short of that.

Overview

Aquanox Deep Descent (ADD) is a semi-open world shooter set underwater, after the world endured the “Last Day” - an apocalyptic event where most of humanity perished and the rest was forced into oceanic depths. Players impersonate Kaelen, one of the chosen few to be preserved in stasis for centuries, now woken up by unclear circumstances. After a dangerous escape, he and his companions - left without most memories - decide to embark on a quest to find the answers about their past, forging alliances and facing many dangers along the way.
