The Survivalists
This is a very good title for anyone looking to start or get someone started on survival games! It is also a great game for anyone looking for a low-stress survival/building game. I got my 70 year old Dad playing this and he loves it with over 187 hours logged so far and still counting (he took over the entire home island as his base).
So here are the good, the bad and the ugly of it
The Good: The monkey automation is fantastic at this stage though it does need some tweaking to perhaps assign single monkeys to a specific workstation IE: this monkey only crafts things at the Forge and ignores other work stations.

Island Escapists
The Survivalists, by the studio behind prison breakout game The Escapists, has your basic “explore and craft to escape the island” plot.
Hoo boy, is there a TON of crafting in this game. No raw resource that drops is of much use without modification, not even the fruit that you can eat right away.
Recipes come in three basic styles. Items crafted By Hand must have the items in your inventory. Items made at crafting stations or as blueprints set on the ground do not need you to have all the items in inventory at once. Instead, you can put just a few at a time until you have all you need. These latter two styles also require the use of a “multitool,” but it looks and sounds like a hammer, unless it’s stirring food.

Surviving West
Yea !!! the Dev God heard me, multiplayer fixed :). Cool game, my wife and I are always on the look out for games we can play together. (she needs lots of help hehe). The game is fun to play, and very nice graphics even dough they are cartoonist. Its still has a few quirks, but he’s working on it at least unlike some other games. Its not hard core, so those who like real hard challenges may find it too easy, its more laid back, take tour time kinda game. So far those I’ve played with are very nice, some very helpful…and if you need help, the dev is on discord and will talk to you.

The game is good. I had an issue with the key binding, went in to the game discord and before I knew it I was having a conversation with the Dev “NEMO” and in no time at all the issue was fixed. That’s what I call service!
The game plays well and runs pretty smooth being an EA game there will always be some issues to work out but for this game…So far so good.
Yes I recommend this game.

Cave Confectioner
This product was provided for free to review by a friend of a friend.
The game initially reminded me of the classic Kings Quest game on the Apple II. You wander around a bit looking for the next thing to pick up. Kind of just wandering and clicking around with very little direction, but there are some occasional tips by talking to the characters. It was probably inspired at least some by MineCraft, since the player starts with nothing and has to pick up items and then use them with other items in inventory or objects on the ground to try to get make else. It also has similarities to One Hour One Life. There’s a lot of experimentation required to get anything going.

The game seems really nice, and I like the concept a lot. Thing is, I am having some issues with saving. However, as far as I understand the game is early in development and possibly being made by one person so issues like these are understandable. Can’t wait for future updates!
P.S A little help with saving would be much appreciated! :D
Edit: Save function in now working. Also, the controls are fine, that was a mistake on my part. Big thanks to the developer for the fast fix and the kindness!

Survival RPG 2: The Temple Ruins
Not very different from the first game in the series - ‘Lost Treasure’. Has some more crafting materials and more grind though. I liked it as much as the first game. The controls are ported over from the mobile version of the game so it pretty much feels like you are playing this game on the mobile. But as a fan of crafting and exploration RPGs, I don’t really mind that.

As its predeseccor, it is a nice simplistic adventure and survival game. It is a little bit more complex. I enjoyed it very much and hope for more in the future!

Balrum
Balrum, a game with a great deal of potential, squandered with bad design decisions. To give you an idea of what I mean, think of a 2D MMO similar to Albion, now keep the lackluster combat, and remove the group up mechanics, and interesting skill trees. You will find that this game suffers from the most heinous of video game crimes imaginable. It is boring. It is very boring. And getting through this game is a test of patience and endurance, increased by it’s fairly unforgiving difficulty.
I have tried to be fair. I have tried 3 times to complete the game’s long and epic quest, and truth be told, the narrative is interesting, and full of good twists and turns. If not for the narrative I would have given up on the first try, but the very core aspects of the game are problematic from the beginning, and no matter how much I forgave, and looked for the silver lining, I always found something else that just drove me up another wall.

Something about this game has me seriously hooked. When I’m not playing, I’m usually wishing I was playing. Balrum just scratches an itch for me and is the perfect game for what I want to play right now. A lot of the game isn’t particularly intuitive, but once you’re able to accept some of the rough edges in the UI, it usually plays well.
Balrum’s got a pretty sedate pace, which is a little odd for a game with Hunger, Thirst, and Tiredness meters. But even though the survival mechanics are reasonably well implemented, they simply aren’t strict enough to be problematic once you’re clear of the early game. This isn’t Nethack: as long as you pay a bit of attention and plan slightly ahead, you probably won’t have “starving” be your most common death. Since farming and cooking are important mechanics, it’s not especially hard to keep yourself going. The game is perfectly happy to let you spend some time dawdling. In a bit of a twist, it’s usually your character that pretends they’re in a hurry (“I’ll go do that right away!") and the other characters are much less urgent about the things they ask you to do.

Deep Despair 2
A game with good atmosphere, a nice amount of content, a surprising amount of horror elements, and all at a good price. Its a good game.
After looking at the reviews of the first Deep Despair, it appears that in this installment, every issue and problem people had with the first game has been fixed, along with improvements to every aspect of the game. Also I like how the deeper you go, the more monster types appear

I want to like this, but I’ve already had a game breaking bug. I equipped a torch for the first time, went down a ladder for the first time and that was all she wrote. I got the “Mines” text and the game hung permanently. I tabbed out and closed it, reloaded and the “Loading world” screen hung indefinitely. SO that world is broken, and is now useless. We’ll see what happens in the next .8 hours before I have to make a refund decision :(
Update:
New world made and attempted to recreate the issue. The game DOES take a long time to load mines, so don’t think it will be an instant transition when you go down the ladder. This time it finished loading and the game did not freeze. I tried leaving and re-entering several times and with the exception of less loading time, there was no change and it worked fine. I DID go back to the original world and let it load for a half hour but it remains broken and unusable. Second world seems to be behaving as desired so far.

Defend Till Sunshine

• On this adventure you are not alone you have a companion puppy with you. He will grow with you each day passes. You can pick his color at the start of a new adventure. You and your companion will live together, he will be with you wherever you go. You can take your puppy to fishing with you, or to chop some trees for your own house that you can build anywhere on the map instead of inside of the villages. Or if you think your companion is not on his mood you can command him to stay on home to rest a little bit.
HOW CRAFTING SYSTEM WORKS?
• You don’t need golds or cash for learning blueprints, you have a 2 token types. One is a Fox Token and the other one is a Deer Token, some villages are marked as a Fox Village and some of them are Deer Village. They will treat you based on your token count, for example on Fox Villages you can only learn with your Fox Tokens.
HOW FOX/DEER TOKENS WORKS?
• Each day you will gain some deer/fox tokens at the same amount but if you hunt a deer or fox for its meat to survive instead of mushroom soup for example you will lose some of your tokens depends on which animal you hunted.
Just Us
The story is about a couple, set on an Island created due to global warming that has flooded most of the Earths surface.
You moved here to settle down and live the quiet life, far away from civilization.
The problem with this is that nobody notified you of the ongoing world crisis that would alter the fate of all living beings on Earth.
The few neighbors who lived in your vicinity has abandoned the Island in hope of finding out what remains.. without any means of communication there is no telling what they found, if anything.
You must scavenge the Island to find resources to stay alive, due to global warming the climate is quickly shifting from summer to winter temperatures with harsh rain and thunderstorms.
But the most important question.. Are we truly alone in the world? If not, how long until others find this place…
