Galactic Civilizations III
NOTE: This is a review of the Final Release Candidate for the game, so it should apply to the released version.
Having been a long-time GC2 player, I eagerly signed up for the Founder’s Edition early-access over a year ago, and have followed the development of GC3 since then closely.
Let me tell you, getting a 4X game that incorporates all the features that hard-core strategy gamers want, while remaining both relevant and competitive, is really hard. As in, EXTREMELY hard. StarDock has done an excellent job with GC3. That’s not to say there still aren’t quibbles over the direction certain features have taken, but the reality is, that if you actually want to release a game, certain decisions are going to have to be taken, and you’re sure to piss off someone who wanted that feature and didn’t get it. But GC3 is a solid and entertaining game, if not a radically innovative one.

First of all it is critical to understand that the game is still in beta testing and therefore has some glitches. That said it has been pretty stable for me. (Four year old dell xps 8100 with 16gb and a 750 Ti video card). At present the plan seems to be to a go for a final release in May. There will be frequent patches before then and perhaps a beta 6 release (beta 5, with enormous additions, was released yesterday (Mar26). If you don’t like encountering bugs and reporting them to help the game, then wait for the release. Of critical importance remaining is tuning the AI to be smarter and more aggressive, imo.

It’s a fun game where you play as a scientist and search for patterns in radio waves. When you decipher the patterns you learn how to send messages back to the aliens.
I really liked the language images the aliens use for communicating. u need to decide which word is correct for every image.
So far, the story is amazing! very unique and fun, u get to meet intresting aliens :)
I learned a lot about radio siganl and astronomy, Some of the puzzles are very hard.
Recommended 9/10

At first I wasn’t sure but once I started playing this game it was hard to put down. Definitely one to play with friends. It’s hilarious, technical, and lends itself to a lot of variety so very replayable. If you like Alien, co-op or vs fighting, and you have a good sense of humor, consider picking this game up.

Archon-9 : Alien Defense
An excellent RTS game!
I like the dark gritty visual style; it makes a nice change from the more cartoonish games of this type that seem to be more common.
The control system is intuitive, and it’s neat how play can be switched between the drone view and the map view. There are some times in the game when the drone is either out of action or is recharging, so it’s useful to switch to the map view, and i find myself relying on the marine head cameras to see what is going on in the battle which is another really nice feature, adding some realism.

Shadowgrounds
Hi, everybody. I played this game ‘round 5 hours, killed first boss (2 lvls finished) and so what I got about it:
What’s good:
-
Free Camera. It’s really comfortable. If you turn it on, of course
-
Gameplay. So it’s good and not so good meanwhile. About bad sides of that I’ll tell later, but right now: it’s not complicated too much and it’s easy enough. You are not needed to pick “right weapon” to kill special enemy, Kill ‘em with any thing you like ;-)
-
Not too complicated plot. On first view, it’s a real bad, but if you’ll look at the game like Alien Shooter clone, so that’s enough =)

This is an old top down shooter game so there maybe glitches and bugs running this on modern machine.
First of all, the most annoying part of the game is 6 out of 10 run it will gives an error saying “Failed to find Steam”.. the devs know of this problem but said “It’s Steam’s problem not ours.” Yeah, this is the only game i played having this problem so yes, you’re expecting us to believe that. The problem here is the game is having trouble getting the path to our installed steam folder. Especially those who didn’t install steam on their main drive.

Alien AI
Keep in mind this is an “early access” game being developed by the good folks at GridSkyGames. This is pretty much a “cat and mouse” game between you and A.I. drones. Having to navigate areas in search for items all the while your food, water and health bar tick down. With limited resources to replenish those bars. At first glance I had issues with some of the mechanics, mostly getting stuck on just about everything. Since the patch game play has felt better, not sure if game mechanics were improved or if I just choose to avoid getting close to anything. The graphic are good complete with atmosphere effects. The voice actress is good but the script still needs a rewrite to pull the player into the story more. This is a game were quick thinking strategy comes into play. You won’t have time for waiting or walking and barely any time for a look around. Be quick enough and you’ll make it to the A.I. base where you’ll lend a hand to the evil A.I. demise.

This is a Top Down third person shooting game(TPS) with role playing game(RPG) elements. Hope to bring you different wonderful game experience.
In a remote village in the north of a country, as a meteor streaked across the night sky, a UFO crashed into the valley. The escape of an unnamed creature triggered an official action and the surrounding villagers were evacuated. A female police officer who was arresting the murderer and a male special combat team member who was carrying out the exercise were unintentionally involved in the accident. With a loud noise, it seems that there is a black hole isolated from the world. There are also innocent villagers on the road who can be evacuated in the future. Can our protagonist escape from this black hole like barrier and alien monster? It seems that there is only one blood way out.

Not sure why this game gets the hate it does. I certainly didn’t play this for the 15+ hours it shows on Steam but probably at least half that. The controls work well on controller, it’s honestly a rather great control scheme for controllers and it makes sense, this is a TWIN STICK SHOOTER. Not a M+KB shooter. I play FPS and TPS games with a mouser and keyboard but I play anything like this with a controller. People also complaining that the game is difficult or the enemies are cheap. I played on the hardest difficulty and it was a BREEZE, I didn’t die a single time. Make better use of your items and learn to scavenge if you’re having a hard time.
