Silent Storm Gold Edition
Since I wrote the original copy of this review more than 2 years ago, I played through the game again and decided to update and correct some things about this review. This review will focus on only Silent Storm since I don’t like Sentinels and never bothered finishing it. If you disagree with it, feel free to message me why you feel that way. Finally, there will be SPOILERS so read at your own risk.
Silent Storm is an old 2003 tactical turn-based shooter set in 1943 during the height of WW2. It is very reminiscent of the older XCOM games UFO Defense, Terror From The Deep, and Apocalypse. However, I’ve found this game to be much easier and less complex than all three of the original XCOM games.

Silent Storm is an old game with dated graphics and a limited character customisation pool. But its appeal was never on its looks, no. Detail and weapon variety, an interesting alternate universe plot, and a completely destructible environment all mixed together to make this a great game, if niche. My account below is purely for the Steam version, without any outside patches.
PROS:
- Tonnes of weaponry (pistols, rifles, grenades, knives, etc.) to find (read as “collect”) and unleash on unsuspecting enemies. From interwar to late WWII, you will be spoilt for choice as your arsenal grows.
! Do take note of the IRL historical weapons and calibres used by the Axis and Allies. If you were partial to the Colt 1911 for example, choosing the Axis story may result in you having difficulty acquiring ammo for your preferred sidearm, as the .45 ACP was not a calibre made outside USA at that time.

Toy Tactics
The fight to become the supreme strategist has begun!
Command your troops and outclass other military geniuses from different ages in a take on battles like never before. Think fast, deploy your units, and emerge victorious. There is more than one road to victory, but only the smartest will get the prize. Sun Tzu is watching, are you ready?
COMPLEX TACTICS, SIMPLE CONTROLS
Placing and moving your warriors wisely will allow you to overcome sieges, ambush your opponents, and deceive them. It may sound complicated, but you will control your wobblers by just drawing formations on the battlefield: you can also drag, merge, or change them: Surround, feint, outsmart… The world is your canvas!
BLESSED ARTIFACTS AND GREAT POWERS
During your adventure, you will come across ancient artifacts which enhance the abilities of your troops, but that is just the beginning… You can also unlock and acquire special powers: invoke reinforcements like catapults, summon flaming meteors, build your own walls and towers… Just draw and set the target locations on the ground, wait, and see…
LOTS OF TROOPS + PHYSICS = CRAZY BRAWLS
When the contenders collide, their masses, weaponry, and inertia could make some helmets fly through the air. Physics is not oly fun to watch in massive matches, it may be on your side if you jump at the chance.

Aggressor
Alright, over the past few weeks i fell in love with this game, and here is what i can say about it as quickly as possible.
Short version : Game is a fun, quick in and out dogfighting experience with a ton of potential !
Full opinion :
This game is both exciting and filled with potential.
Similiar to other reviews on this game i must agree that the game is in early access and so a lot of things are missing (duh)
Yet even over that fact this game provides a fun and quick experience for the times when youre just kinda bored and need a quick game to play.

This game lacks polish but is quite a lot of fun. For a cold war air combat junkie it features all the planes you could want. It’s can be rather immersive sometimes.
This game feels gritty and fun if you like air combat. The first thing you will notice is the art style, being snappy and simple.
I love the damage model and the way flashes and sparks will fly off of planes being hit, I can tell some research was put in looking at real life gun camera footage.
The maps are extremely simplistic, but with all the dogfighting going on I found I didnt notice too much. The game itself is incredibly small so startup time is very quick.

Two Coins
Two Coins is a time-traveling action adventure. You play as Richard, a guy with a completely normal life. He finds a magazine about forests and wilderness at work and is inspired to go on a forest trip.
“Richard walks for a while before it gets dark. Suddenly he falls into a cave and faints. When he wakes up he is confused and trying to find his way home again. Things seem different now. Very different.”
This is a single-player game where you can switch between first person or third person perspective. Survive by hunting, eating and drinking. Do tasks for people, contribute to the village, and even build your own temporary home. Perhaps the most important thing is to try to find the way back to the present again. If it’s even possible?
Video Realms
the closest thing to twisted metal that exists. very good car combat game

Okay, so…
Fuck the other two games - flesh out Carnage Cross as much as humanely possible. This is the closest the Twisted Metal fan-base will ever get to a spiritual successor since Sony decided to elbow-drop Twisted Metal for good. Wait until at least 1.0 to keep working on Sanitize or Starglades.
I know some of the suggestions I’m gonna make are already on your roadmap - AND I DON’T CARE. I’ll repeat them infinitely into the fucking VOID if need be.
● ONLINE MULTIPLAYER. DO IT.
● NONE of the vehicles should have auto-aim machine guns - all of their guns should fire directly forward. Auto-aim should be either a power-up or a special ability. With that being said…

Kamikaze Veggies
Red, communist vegetables want to take control over the world. Only a special squad of veggies - warriors can stop them. If you like absurd humor and a breath of adventure on your back, then you’ve come to the right place!
Kamikaze Veggies is a game where the wrong move means death. Keep your eyes peeled! You need to be focused to react quickly to a threat. If you are smart, you have a chance of a successful mission. When the frontline situation is dire, use a suicide blast. This is the specialty of the rebel crew.
