Drake’s Odds: Survive
Drake’s Odds: Survive is a multiplayer survival game in which the main character is an alien from the planet Exomon who must survive on the planet Earth, which is hostile and unknown to him, fighting, crafting and using the powers and technology in his possession.
The game is set on the lush island of San Tecla which consists of 64 km² of beautiful landscapes that you can explore with terrestrial vehicles (such as cars or quads) or extraterrestrials ones (such as spaceships).
In this overwhelming survival shooter game, you will be able to experience the sensation of putting yourself in the shoes of the invader, facing the earthly creatures or using them to your advantage by taking control of their body and mind to exploit their skills and knowledge.
And if you think that he belongs to a technologically advanced race and because of that it will be easy for you to excel over humans, then you are totally wrong. You are, after all, part of the minority on a completely unknown planet and with people thirsty to know your technological secrets and who will use every available weapon to steal them from you and put a spoke in the wheel. Therefore it won’t be easy, but you can always cooperate with other players or try to conquer our bizarre world by yourself.
- KNOWLEDGE POINTS’ COLLECTION
The extraterrestrial finding himself trapped on an alien planet, in order to survive and find a way to come back home, will have to quickly learn to know the surrounding environment. Therefore he will use his powers to steal knowledge from humans that will allow him to learn new recipes for the construction of objects useful for his survival.
- CRAFTING
Craft the means for your survival: weapons and platforms will be of precious use to face any situation against any enemy: craft a bulletproof vest or a respawn point near your operative base and begin the counterattack!
- BUILD YOUR BASE
You know that in order to survive in an unknown and hostile planet, you must be able to count on a secure base to protect yourself, your food and your weapons and from which you can study in peace the strategies to reach the goal of prevailing over the enemy and find a way to return to your planet.
Also, during the game, it will be possible to make the base more resistant and technological thanks to a four-level system upgrade (wood, stone, metal, alien).
- FIGHT
Fight against or ally with the other factions, but you should always watch your back! In “Drake’s Odds: Survive”, danger is around the corner, what appears to be a harmless bird could turn out to be the spy of the enemy clan studying your movements.
- AI POSSESS
Take control of humans and animals to strategically exploit their different abilities depending on the NPC possessed. You will also be able to store and keep captured NPCs in cryogenic cages or capsules for you to strategically use them when you need them.
- SONAR
Identify those around you by activating a limited-duration ray that will allow you to highlight neighboring NPCs, distinguishing those owned by other players from those managed by the AI.
- ALIEN VEHICLES
Fly over the skies of the map with the spaceship with which you can hook and drag characters and vehicles with its beam of light and hit enemies with its powerful laser beam.

Aliens vs. Predator™
Aliens vs Predator (2010) is a first person shooter that introduces you to three seperate storylines involving a Human, a Predator, and an Alien. Overall the storylines are decent, while not nearly as difficult as I would have prefered. For example Nightmare Difficulty seems to simply increase the damage and accuracy of your opponents, but not necessarily making them difficult due to one shot mechanics available to Predator and Alien. Boss fights bring a interesting level of difficulty, but are still single meat shields with high health pools that you have to mow down while dodging mechanics and the occassional add. Overall scenary in the game is one of the highest pluses I will give, as the environements truely have the universes feel to them.

People say the game is mediocre, and perhaps that is justified. However, I feel the game is at least in the higher end of mediocre games, and can produce a lot of fun. At least for fans of the different creatures the game tried (and in my opinion, succeeded) to bring alive.
I am not in a position to review the multiplayer so consider this to be mainly a single player review.
People are usually concerned with the duration of gameplay, and what many have said is true, it’s short, with the marine campaign being the longest, Predator in the middle and the alien the shortest. It’s a shame, as I found that the alien was the most fun, then the predator, and lastly the marine. Though this is not to say that it isn’t fun to play the marine, it’s just the weakest of the species. All three species campaigns adding up to perhaps 12h, though I might be slow - spending a lot of time in the shadows as an alien, watching how the marines patrol, and cloaked as a predator, deciding which marine to pick off first.

Alien Swarm: Reactive Drop
Reactive Drop
The sequel of Alien Swarm, an top-down cooperative shooter released by Valve back in the days.
History
Alien Swarm originates from an unreal tournament mod back in the days and was acquired and re-released by Valve in 2010. This game combined elements from survival games like shadowgrounds and left for dead. For a free game, it had a good presentation, nice gameplay and good graphics. It only lacked two things: content and community.
The gameplay
Like Alien Swarm, Reactive Drop is a cooperative top down shooter. The player plays with other marines against hordes of aliens, in order to complete different objectives. In the game, there are 4 different classes to play, each one consisting of two characters with different statistics including some class restricted weapons.

Friendly Fire is anything but friendly, medics are flavour and death, death do be part of the game. Try to keep up with your team and defend when necessary, picking a firing line and keeping it will increase everyone’s chances of survival. That said, in general, the game is Chaos.
People can and do play solo, but these are usually awe inspiring ASBI players. For the rest of us, team play is integral and trust is key. Communication in game is vital and facilitated in-game with voice communication, a text chat feature and a radial menu for quick communication emotes. Although after a few rounds, you’ll learn to read other players marine placements and apply your own work around tactics of support. The community is active and full of modders aiming to enhance your bug hunt with custom challenges, HUD’s, skins, sounds and levels. Additionally, there are dedicated servers from all around the globe, providing a place for you to meet new and interesting marines, in your fight against the swarm.

Grey Goo
Let’s start with bad and work our way up to the good, shall we?
What does Grey Goo do wrong? Not much, to be frank but there are a few things that could’ve been made better. First off the differences between the two humanoid factions are mostly cosmetic even though there are subtle differences in how units work, unit stats and general playstyle. Particularly base building is vastly different. I just feel they could’ve been diversified a little bit more.
No replay. EDIT: Replay is now in the game (2016-02-15 edit)

Grey Goo Definitive Edition
Genre: Real-time Strategy
Developer: Petroglyph Games
Publisher: Grey Box
Introduction
Grey Goo is a new Real-time Strategy (RTS) game by Westwood Studios veterans Petroglyph Games. Those familiar with Westwood would be aware of their impressive track record. As you may have already read, Grey Goo feels like an early RTS, however it introduces many new ideas differentiating itself from its predecessors. There are three distinct factions to play as (the standard number for RTS titles today), the versatile Beta, the defensive Humans and the aggressive Goo. I’ll take you through my rundown of the game assuming you’re an RTS fan; I’ll be making a few comparisons throughout.

Natural Selection 2
What makes someone keep playing a game for 10 years?
7-12 players per team are on the field playing a FPS, 2 players hop in the command chair and play an RTS, and chaotic toxicity of an aliens vs marines FPS game ensues. Players have to build and hold resource towers, which accrues team resources for their commander to spend on upgrades and tactical structures, and personal resources for they themselves to purchase upgrades with. Games are played on highly detailed maps that take a minimum 1000 hours to develop, with graphics that have aged well, with plenty of nooks and crannies to hide things in. This game has an ELO system implemented to ensure team balance, typically teams average out between 300 and 3000 ELO and teams are balanced within 100 ELO of each other. The game plays very different depending on the average ELO on each team, a 1000 ELO game is competely different than a 3000 ELO game. If teams are balanced 300 ELO off, one team has a 90% chance of winning. Game balance is most impacted by late joiners to a game or people with high skill that leave can cause unbalanced games.

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

Walkover
The graphics might be a lot outdated, and you might not understand anything of the game at first… but once you read the really short manual that teaches you the controls and such… the game is fun, and relaxing.
After a stressed day, sometimes I just boot up this game, and have a really good time. There are some gamemodes, but you should stick to the main one that is killing the aliens and destroying the nests (played some times the CTF mode but I found that really broken, and also you don’t see much people playing this game).

This is a really old game I played in my childhood and I am surprised to see it still being alive, so I gave it a try.
Game description:
This game is a 2D top down shooter reminding of the movie Starship Troopers. Humans versus buglike Aliens. Join up with other players and a lot of AI soldiers to combat the extremely fast breeding and aggressive alien menace.
You will need to lead the AI soldiers and use them to secure spots on the maps with turrets and further soldier spawners. Collect different weapons, earn experience by bug killing and choose from a few skills to get you alive through the map. Exterminate all bug spawners and fight till the last bug is dead.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Collection
Summer 2021 and Cold Iron Studios made it, Aliens™: Fireteam already renamed Fireteam Elite is about to be released in two weeks. Sweet & refreshing to see another game based on the franchise showing up. And don’t worry, Uncle Randy was not in charge this time.
Whatever the outcome about A:FE, after more than eight years, Aliens™: Colonial Marines signed by Gearbox Software & TimeGate Studios remains an unfinished & unpolished base game having undeniable flaws but, at the same time, a nice crossover between James Cameron & Stan Winston 1986 feature film and the numerous Aliens™ 1988-nowadays comics as well, and above all an absolutely unique experience in Bug Hunt brought by Demiurge Studios. That great Solo or Co-op' horde mode having its own, mechanics, metagame, challenge, pace, level design, depth, Aliens classes, AI surprises, toolset, and ultimately its own gameplay & skillcap. Watch out, many moves you make & decisions you take directly impact the Co-op' situation & progression, especially in UBA diff' conditions, the most captivating & immersive difficulty.

MORALS AND IDEALS
As most of you know, this game was basically announced as an AAA game with next gen graphics, and ended up a (at the time) bug-ridden B-list game with last gen graphics. Many people were understandably upset about this, especially those who pre-ordered. If you don’t wish to do business with a company that found itself in a lawsuit claiming false advertising, more power to you for your ideals.
THE GAME
I played this in Jan 2015 after some massive patches, and after the game was on sale for $5. At this point, I experienced the game as practically bug-free, except for the astonishing fact that the game still won’t let you go: When I quit the game, it is immediately restarted (wrong exit code or something?). Restarting Steam too helps, but it’s a bit ridiculous. On the upside: no game-breaking or fun-killing bugs while I played.
