D-Corp
When we were offered this key, we honestly didn’t know what to expect–we’d beaten the heck out of Overcooked and Dungeon Defenders before, and this seemed similar, but we were skeptical.
Welp, WE WERE WRONG.
This game hooked us quick and DIDN’T LET GO–it’s sci-fi a cousin of Overcooked with an emphasis on harvesting and defending, and couples will especially love this one and will probably find it a lot less frustrating than others in the genre. There’s some room for this to grow up, but it’s got more polish than existing games in the genre that have been actively refined for years. Check out the WeHeartCo-op review on YouTube, coming soon!

TLDR: fun game, but if you are unsure check out the DEMO :)
D-corp is a really nice coop tower defense game and it would probably be even better if I had friends to play it with.
While it seems meant to be played locally from your couch with a group of friends it does also support steam remote play and is pretty good to play solo as well (what I mostly did).
Some Pros:
-
Throwing things into pits or acid (including your now ex-friends).
-
Different themed levels, enemies, guns (towers) and elements to make each level feel unique.

The God’s Chain
What is The God’s Chain?
One of my mottos when starting Steamified was that I never wanted to be just another negative review. This is because I understood that every developer (or studio) make an honest effort to provide gamers with something enjoyable. However, in saying that I also believe that if you don’t have a good game that it’s better to be awful than to be mediocre. Therefore, it saddens me to claim that The God’s Chain is easily one of the worst games that I have played this year.

EDIT 2: Here are two of the stolen unit assets that I found that were used on this game: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/2943
https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/29384
EDIT: Some hours after I posted this review the developer messaged me asking about the problems of the game to make it better which is an excellent thing because, although this game isn’t good right now the developer is actively trying to make it better…
Note: Game recieved “free” from one of those gleam giveaways

Earthfall
I am overall positive & due to my review being detailed & long, it’s on sections with key things:
- Fun – More than 12 weapons, technically even more than 20 as even barricades can serve as a weapon if you attach arc grenades/gas cans. Melees, pistols, shotguns, machineguns, snipers, heavy weapons, launchers for grenades/crystals, turrets, a variety of bombs to keep aliens fried & sometimes flying, even tens of meters away :)
Action co-op fps with strategy elements, the game is really funny and alive by itself. Practically more than 12 types of alien enemies as the enrager changes some of them when he appears. The top enemy of the game seems to appear only in Invasion mode, which can be even better than the campaign mode. You have 11 Campaign missions & 5 Invasion Mode ones. They can last between 20 and 90 minutes on your first plays, with invasions being longer. Depending on difficulty and your skills & experience, they can go some shorter, like even 7-15 min. for some campaigns.

scratching head How to begin…
Overall, the game is amazing! It is the combination of juicy picture, 4 player co-op availability and vast weapon selection, that creates a solid game-play experience.
There’s only one huge drawback and I’m naming it now - the game’s duration. 11 maps, 5 per each campaign and 1 level aside of them, can be completed in a matter of hours. However, there’s a lot to try out and kill in those maps!
- Weapons: you will find melee and shooting guns (10+ varieties) everywhere, plus most of these can be made at special machinery (printers), where content depends on a map and its difficulty.

It start good.
Nice graphics but feel completely unbalanced to a point that is not playable or enjoyable for me.
The number of bullets of screen is huge with intricate patterns to evade.
Enemies can take a lot of damage before exploding or, some of them, are shielded and cannot be damaged until they decide to do so.

Aliens: Fireteam Elite
Fun and well designed cooperative games have been hard to come by for me as of late. I’ve tried sinking my teeth into a few of them over the years, only to be disappointed by shoddy mechanics and plodding gameplay. But then out of nowhere… two of them that were created in the 3rd person perspective eventually shot out of the dark and surprised me. Those two games coincidentally were 3-player arranged coop games titled Remnant: From the Ashes and now of course Aliens: Fireteam Elite.

Rating: 4/10
Mediocre game with lots of bugs.
Game is pretty much “dead” with only 592 current players (941 24-hr peak). Finding a match at medium to higher difficulties is nearly impossible.
The game itself is interesting, but you can’t rely on matchmaking. Inviting friends is pretty much needed.
It can get boring quickly with only 4 maps (with 4 small parts each) that are available to play.
The game hub seems so lazily made it is almost pointless and could more or less be replaced with a menu.

Flight of the Athena
Lots of variety with bosses and enemies. Includes interesting time-based events mid-mission and enemies that come from all four directions, which gets pretty exciting pretty quickly. Well done, A To Play Ltd’s Flight of the Athena is pretty damn fun and very replayable!
While the portrait art may be lacking the rest of the in-game art are quite nice. Some odd design decisions on the tactical map but the actual battles and bosses are loads of fun. And multiplayer!

This game is excellent! It is a flashback to games like this that I played when I was younger but with great additions! You have two guns (one on a turret) which you control using the 2nd stock on the controller; this is great! Also there is an RPG and randomness factor which add to replayability. Got to buy it!

BFF or Die
A nice cooperative puzzle game.
CRASHES when trying to use Remote Play Together. This is too bad. I really wanted to try it out with some help from my far-flung friends.
The initial levels of the game are different based on the number of players. If you want to teach friends how to play, I recommend playing the first 7, or so, levels in TWO PLAYER mode. The early levels of other modes might fail to teach important aspects (like how to get out of the flashlight booth).
This could be a nice title for some “Games Night” cooperative frustration, err I mean fun.

The game is like a physical puzzle game but with action elements to it. And if you play multiplayer, the extra dimension of needing to figure out what each player needs to do and when to complete the level. It can get crazy hectic and tense, especially when your teammates mess up or something unexpected happens. But it never feels unfair or too punishing. Plus you always get time to plan at the start of each level / puzzle.
My only criticism is some of the menu options don’t work with keyboard, but nothing that stops you playing the game.
