Greed Knights
As of this review, I have 100% achievements on Greed Knights.
Let me get something out of the way, I DO NOT hate this game, nor do I think it’s terrible for an idle game. However, I CANNOT recommend this game to anyone who’s going for 100% like I did (the only reason I was able to 100% this game quicker than I thought was because of the recent update to reach Level 60 instead of 80).
Whenever I opened this game (after already grinding to about Level 30), I would fly by levels and just spawn into the Evil Throne over and over again to grind, and even leave my computer on overnight to grind. I wish it didn’t have to be this way, because now I have over 400 HOURS on record (probably would’ve been over 1000 if I had to reach Level 80, no exaggeration). An “offline progress” system is MUCH needed here, similar to Adventure Capitalist, or any other idle game I can think of.

This is the 2nd game he’s released on Steam, and I think the 4th or 5th of his I’ve played.
This is a short, simple, low content idle game. Good for grinding achievements maybe, but rather devoid of content. It’s got simple 8 bit art, which I don’t mind, and he reuses a lot of game mechanics and button/UI graphics. His UIs are confusing and chaotic. A lot of the time you have to hunt for the actual buttons or things you can interact with as often there’s no way to tell what is a display field and what is a button.

Your Chronicle
Even though it has its flaws, this is one of the best idle games I have played!
The story is great, and I like how even small choices change things. Its filled with cliches, and is probably written by someone who doesnt have english as their first language, but still makes it all a bit more entertaining!
There is some bottlenecks and obstacles, but getting over them is very rewarding, even if it takes some patience. You will probably have to be ready to grind at least the first hour/hours of the game because of them.

It’s kind of nice to not get instant gratification, but also I feel like this game is way more just incremental than it is truly idle.
There are a bunch of parts where you just won’t ever really meaningfully progress unless you’re actively playing, and no real way to make a “build” or “playstyle” that will do much to avoid that.
The “habits” system is the only thing I’ve seen so far that I’d call true idle, and even then the diminishing returns set in hard and fast, and many habits are ironically only practical to train past a certain point once you’ve actively played enough to make the idling faster.

VR Guardians
VR Guardians is a free to play VR game that is a sword and shield wave survival game. It worked on my HTC Vive system, looked ok, played ok, sounded ok. There is instruction cards in the lobby for the supported VR sytems. You have two quest to go through. Has 6 steam acheivements that are given out for successful quest completion. Instructions said something about spells, there might be ranged attacks you need to finish the game better. Maybe 10 to 20 minutes of content. I was successful going through the fire quest without knowing what to do, but in the water quest i died. I guess i could try again later.
