Dominion
Always heard about the boardgame but never had the chance to play it and now that i did I can see why it’s so popular!
The DA is very well done: plays smooth, good sfx, AI feels solid (haven’t tried Hard yet though). The game has already -I think?- all of the the expansions available that can be played in a 1v1 against AI or with another player online.
I must say this is very polished already for being EA for less than two weeks!
As per how stability goes, I played 3 games with a friend yesterday and we only got two freezes/crashes but we could keep playing by simply restarting the game: no game-breaking bugs found yet.

A very faithful adaptation of the famous evolutionary card game. The first one that found the concept of deckbuilding during the game. Many other games followed this inspiration, such as Star Realms, Ascension, War of Omens, for the main ones. If you know of any others, please respond.
This is a concept not to be confused with these two:
-
Deckbuilding before the game, the player builds a deck (example: Magic the Gathering).
-
Deckbuilding during the game, without being able to swap cards, during a quest (example: Slay the spire).

My Little Farmies
Overall the game is very enjoyable and can keep you very busy tending to your farm, harvesting/growing crops, upgrading buildings and producing items in the various production buildings.
Once you get to level 25-30 be warned that you will be forced to spend 200 gold bars to further expand your farm to make room for more buildings, pens ect, and i can only imagine that you will have to spend 300-400 for the next and so on, so make sure you buy as many expansions using your Thalers as you can before you get stuck at this point.

I have only played for a little while, but am enjoying this game a lot. The graphics are nicely done, and the tutorial is very helpful. As I mentioned in a comment I made in one of the negative reviews, this is not a game for impatient players. You will have to wait for things to grow and to be build. I have played quite a few F2P games, and never used real money to get quicker through the game. I only ever bought starter kits and special items that you can’t find in the game otherwise.
The one thing I don’t care for in this game is that the developers, who are German, set the dates the American way, giving first the month and then the day. Very confusing for me. In Germany - as in other European countries - the date is displayed as giving first the day and then the month.

Citizens
Citizens is a turn-based hybrid of a city builder and strategic puzzler where you create beautiful cities, manage resources, plan long term investments, trade with foreign civilisations and look after your subjects. Explore beautiful islands, deal with difficult problems, and think about your next move very carefully, for it could be your undoing!
Planning your expansion is extremely important. Play through a challenging campaign which puts you into a large variety of scenarios, focusing on economy, trade, and warfare. If you prefer a more sandbox experience, try Challenge and Free build modes, where you are given more freedom to explore and experiment.
If you feel you don’t need to know anything else, just try the demo! Six challenging islands are all yours to conquer. Be weary though, for you’re not alone in this world; there are others who already inhabit it… and they won’t let you take their land without a fight.
Our demo offers you a taste of what Citizens is like. It presents you with early-game mechanics and showcases the basics of the grid-based combat system, which is greatly expanded upon in the full release.
Your feedback is super important to us. Join our discord, pop us an e-mail or even write a message on the community board; let us know what you think, what you like and what you don’t like, so that we can make the game even better. The Demo will be continuously supported along with the main release.
As an architect of your settlement, you need to carefully exploit the resources around the area. With a limited number of turns to achieve your goal, every move counts. Explore over 50 different buildings spread over several production chains and extract or process over 30 different resources, including but not limited to Timber, Pottery, Cheese, Wine and various forms of Weaponry. Collect tax from your Citizens as they pay for luxury goods, provide your people with jobs and build a glorious civilisation. Along your journey you will meet other civilisations with whom you can trade, or wage war.
Citizens offers:
-
New approach to city-building games
-
Campaign with challenging quests
-
A ton of replayability!
-
Combat and Trade
-
Endless fun with random level generation
Meet various civilisations along the way. Sightsee the Aztec pyramids, trade with the people of the Orient, and defend yourself from plunderous Vikings! Focus on trade or combat depending on which path you take in the campaign. Certain civilisations might even have some interesting resources for sale, unobtainable by your own hand!
Citizens offers a grid-based combat system; it’s designed to feel familiar to strategy veterans, and to be easily picked up by newcomers. If battles are not your thing though, that’s fine. Diplomacy is always an option! Well… most of the time.
Be mindful… Other civilisations are not your only enemies. Fire and Plague can be as dangerous as the Sword.
With all this doom and gloom above, just keep in mind this…
If all you want is a peaceful and soothing experience, then try out Free-Build mode! Place buildings without any restrictions on a randomly generated island, or try out economy mode for something more challenging: that’s where anything can happen! You’ll never run out of new lands to explore. Something will always be different.

A Little Shop in Squirrel Town
It’s a mixture of Recettear and Harvest Moon. It’s a very relaxing/your own pace type of game.
Not complicate and very simple/easy game. Have a lot of activities to do in game.
Grow crops, fish, explore dungeons, unlock crafting recipes (cooking/armor/weapon/accessory), and sell them at your shop.
Collect monster cubs from dungeons for as livestocks for loot. Each type gives different loot.
Level up your fairy to help in dungeon (kinda stupid as it attacks the direction you’re facing, if you’re running away then it doesn’t work that well)

-
The devs answer very quick and improve the game asap.
-
The price of the game is realy low if you think about all the work it takes to make such a game.
Gabb the games as long as you can get it so cheap! :)

City Of Jade: Imperial Frontier
Not recommended.
I’ve played the game several times with varying strategies and each time failed to figure out a way to build a sustainable city. So after 18 hours of game play, and discussing with other friends who have played, I believe that the balance of the game is broken. I’ve tried to contact the devs but they’ve not responded.

Grand Ages: Medieval
JUST A WARNING BEFOREHAND THAT THIS IS A LONG INDEPTH REVIEW ABOUT THE GAME SO IF YOU ARE LAZY TO READ IT JUST SKIP TO THE BOTTOM OF THE REVIEW.
Now before you skip this game over for some negative reviews talking about the difficulty of this game or it being set up for some overpriced expansions, just hear me out. This game has a lot of potential and while I agree it maybe kinda pricey compare to some of the older games with a very similar genre this game still have its own merit to make it stand out from the rest. Now let me list down some of the things that you should know before purchasing this game;

Update: now this is unacceptable! https://ibb.co/nfRF2TJ
I complained about Kalypso on forum of another game, and they censored me!
NEVER buy a game from Kalypso! Don’t support censorship! This is serious!
=====================
Many people say it’s broken or that it’s a recess simulation. The game is just hard to learn.
It is basically an RTS, but the strategy resides in the trade system. War does exist, but it happens only a few hours after the match starts, and it’s very expensive.
War requires little strategy and no tatics. You just send your army on the enemy and let them fight, while you go back to manage your empire’s trade economy. If you want a game aimed on war, just don’t buy this, it has less of that than Civilization.

Graveyard Keeper
I wish Steam had a star rating system instead of just yes or no. This is one I would put midway. I like the game. I like the story and the world and I enjoy finishing the quests.
However, I do not like how complicated they made it to complete the quests. For example: You need acid. You need 3 ingredients for it. You have to do a little running around to get those 3 things, but that’s not bad, no problem. Then you realize you need to build the workstation to combine those 3 ingredients. Okay, still not too bad. But then you realize you need to build 2 more workstations just to get the material to build the workstation to make the acid. Oh, but wait, first you need the tech points to unlock both additional workstations separately. Think you’re ready now? Oh, think again. You also need more tech points to unlock another technology to make the material needed for the original acid workstation. Then when you finally get the acid made, you have to wait for a particular day of the week for the npc to show up. Which with luck like mine is the day that just ended and you have to wait 5 days to complete the quest that just took you 2-3 game weeks and lots of frustration and lots of looking up stuff on wiki just to make one little bottle of acid. Almost every quest is like that - jump through 20 different hoops just to get the one thing you need.

In spite of having bought and played all of the DLC (as of 2021, November), I still hesitantly recommend you play this.
I’m only going to review the main game and ignore DLCs for now, they might get their own review…
I enjoy this game a lot, but I think part of me feels a bit foolish for doing so? I think there are parts of the game that lacks polish, and I’m seeing some generally lazy or unfinished portions that is in some cases difficult to forgive
! town. The game also has a very frustrating way of lengthening quests.

Medieval Farmer Simulator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1440340/Cannon_Foundry_Simulator/
Medieval Farmer is a real-time simulator that will prove to you that the life of a farmer in medieval Europe was not at all boring and without challenges! Face the ruthless forces of nature, vermin infestations and the trivialities of everyday life. Turn chores into fun and then pass your farm on to the next generation thanks to an advanced inheritance system!
Choose the right specialisation for you and start the farm of your dreams. Create an enclosure for the animal species you want to breed, using a variety of tools and an extensive crafting system. You are only limited by your own imagination.
Prepare the land by using medieval ways to fertilise the soil and give your plants the best growing conditions. Medieval Farmer takes full advantage of real life farming methods used centuries ago.
Repair old farming equipment. For example fix a wheel to a wheelbarrow with a metal screw. You don’t have to buy new tools every time. All it takes is a little imagination and a flair for the handiwork, and you can repair them yourself and save on priceless coins.
Keep an eye on your buildings and do your own renovations when the time comes. After all, no farmer wants his hard-earned wheat to get wet through a neglected hole in the roof, right? Not to mention the thieves who, in the Middle Ages, were just waiting for the right opportunity to rob every richer farm. So keep an eye on your farm and try to keep it in the best possible condition!
It’s up to you to decide what plants or crops will grow on your farm. Harvest them at the right time of the year and trade with your fellow villagers to reinvest the money back into your farm.
Reborn Tribe
Nothing spectacular but for 8 bucks it is a very good game for playing whilst travelling. The soft silky tones of the Chinese female commentator make it worth the price. This 81 year old has fallen in love. As for the game it’s a Build up with challenges and achivements. Simple you may think but no it’s challenging so worth a look and for a few dollars you get a decent game. Well enough said going to listen to my new Chinese Girlfriend again Oh to be 20 again,
