My Koi
Very well done virtual fish pond. Excellently realistic graphics and fish movement/behaviour. Good ambient sounds.
Also, the developer is amazingly active and responsive to suggestions. I’ve already seen 2 updates within hours of the suggestion being posted on the forum!
I’ve tried writing a more comprehensive review with a couple of suggestions, but every time click ‘Post review’ the button disappears and nothing else happens. I hope this minimal review is ‘accepted’, and will take up the other points I wanted to make up the forum.

I’ve always wanted a koi pond, but I don’t have the space to put one since I have a small yard. My Koi piqued my interest for that very reason. This is a koi pond simulator, and a great one at that. If you’re expecting a riveting narrative, Michael Bay-esque explosions, and epic fights between good and evil, then My Koi is not the game you’re looking for. If you’re into a relaxing experience, then this is a great option.
Here’s the gist: you’re given three ponds and a limited number of koi to create and put into each pond. You’ll have the ability to feed your koi and watch them grow over time. This doesn’t mean there’s no challenge. One of your koi must hit a certain weight and length milestone in order to unlock more customization options for your koi. You’re also able to put more koi into each pond as you hit these milestones. It incentivizes you to care for your koi daily. You can at least feed the koi once a day, and they’ll be happy.

DEEMO -Reborn-
DEEMO -Reborn- is a musical, beautiful & charming experience, in which it combines
rhythmic arcade-ish gameplay (hitting keys at the right time, in the same essence as OSU!mania/DJMax etc)
& solving clever and semi-demanding riddles/puzzles, so that you can unlock more songs to play, more areas to explore
& to progress the story further.
The Story is quite mystical & very emotional, with many but short cutscenes and a few dialogues that explains what’s going on. Voice over is only in Japanese (with english subtitles ofc)

I’m honestly so split with this port of the game. I feel like it’s a lot easier to play with keyboard, which is both good and bad. I’m glad it makes it more accessible to others, but now this is just like the NS port all over again. If you play on this version people are more likely to think you aren’t as skilled because now you can just hold SPACE and don’t have to wiggle joysticks.
Plus the fact that VK songs, Cytus 1 & 2, Egoist, AND Rayark 3 packs aren’t available is extremely disappointing. Because of the loss of almost 20 songs, the game feels a lot more empty and I’m just more tempted to boot my PS4 up to play Alone with you or Parousia.

Blind Spot
Blind Spot is an excellent first person puzzle/exploration game. I enjoyed the scenery and the diversity of the puzzles. The story is told through text descriptions of objects and rooms, as well as ongoing text messaging with an ‘unknown number.’ It is a story about family - loss and forgiveness. For me, it was a bit hard to put all the pieces together to have a clear picture of the narrative details but I came away with a general sense of what had happened.
I struggled a bit with manipulating objects using the ‘E’ key and/or the mouse and continuously dropped things when I was carrying them by accident or attempting a specific placement. I think this is a function of the engine and not the actual game (or my own lack of coordination). It would have been nice to have a ‘run’ option but this is not a deal breaker because the game requires little or no backtracking.

For the Most Part, this puzzle game made sense and you had a clear idea of What To Do OR What To Solve.
A few times, something as simple as a HIDDEN HOT SPOT broke the continuity of play.
At times, however, it wasn’t clear what to do next….even after looking at a walkthrough I said to myself: “How would ANYONE know this unless they just TRIED, TRIED, and TRIED everything they could think of which quickly=”" makes="" a="" game,="" adventure,="" or="" puzzle,="" lose="" it’s="" grip. br="" Anyway, that said, the graphics are wonderful and the background music and sounds feel and fit the situations. /which

Masters of Puzzle
A jigsaw puzzle program for the serious puzzler. Beautiful classical Art and holiday themed challenges. This is a EA program and still has some features to be added and you can run into some bugs, however the Developer is very involved and quickly responds to your concerns. There is a bit of a learning curve but nothing that shouldn’t be clear after the first puzzle or two.
This is not for the person looking for an hours entertainment. These puzzles are challenging and time consuming. They can take up to an hour or more just unloading the Puzzle box and organizing depending on the number of pieces you select. I have 192 hours logged as of this review and highly recommend this program.

This game brings a whole new take on the jigsaw puzzle theme, and attempts to recreate the true 3D feel of a puzzle board, including the box and all the pieces modeled as you would pick them up by hand, rotate them, and place them. Full keyboard control makes it very easy to move around (WASD and other natural key settings). The game is in EA so it’s understood that many features are still in development, but what is there on day one can already keep one entertained for very long, since there’s the option to play the puzzles also with very large numbers of pieces. Surely a project that deserves support!

Soulace
can not even figure out how to start a game. pressed every button on keyboard, gamepad and oculus controllers. says 127 hours play time but i have not played one second!
– Real player with 128.5 hrs in game
This game does not work! I have the same problem as other gamer’s, after installation the game will not play, nothing happens when you press ‘new game’ but the stats show I have played for a certain time. I even uninstalled the game and reinstalled but the same problem exists. I can’t even find a website for the developers to email them for a fix, does anyone have any ideas?

Freediving Hunter Spearfishing the World
Truly a joy of a game. Love the attention to detail and simplicity of the customization and missions.
10/10 would play again
– Real player with 64.3 hrs in game
The game has good graphics but gameplay is very broken in a way that the first stage is named rookie cove, but the opponent is actually one of the hardest ones to beat. As you level up you develop a longer breath hold which makes things a lot easier. You kind of have to get beaten repeatedly in the beginning and then everything is downhill from there. You can reach max level and get all the items in game after a few hours, but it takes a while to find the secret fish. I wish there was a more fulfilling ending to this game but unfortunately i haven’t found it if there is one. unlocked all the levels and beat all the enemies but i still play this just because i can’t freedive in real life because of the pandemic. I still recommend it to people who want to explore the ocean :D

The Catch: Carp & Coarse Fishing
I like the game but to be fair it is very similar to FSW in game play and appearance. I was expecting more but but am very willing to give the fishing sim a fair go. In FSW its so easy to catch fish they nearly throw themselves at you but in The Catch you have to use at least a tiny part of ur brain instead of hope for the best mentality which I welcome gladly. Had no boss fish yet but that is also a welcomed change for catching 1 every other cast (PLEASE don’t change that).
EDIT, forget this rubbish. Dovetail Games never fix any problems or glitches in there games and are only interested in DLC’s. Its such a shame coz The Catch Course and Carp could really be something, but the devs (HMMM THE MANAGEMENT) don’t care at all and are only here for a money grab. SO MANY issues in game that it would take me days to point out, maybe some realistic testing of the game before release should have been an option (NO WORK DLC’S)

If you enjoyed Fishing Sim World i see no reason why you should not like this game and i think you will enjoy the changes.
If your looking to buy this game for the first time this fishing game is not a full on fishing simulation / simulator type game , but is a fun enjoyable game to play with some sim like elements . (Can also recommend Fishing Sim World Pro Tour)
Personal opinion
i would of personally liked to have seen this game as a update and dlc added to Fishing Sim World Pro Tour rather than a individual game i cant help feeling that they have killed fsw off with the release of this game and am left wondering if i will play fswProTour again ?? due to playing The Catch Carp & Coarse.

Golf Pool VR
This is a fun game. I listen to podcasts/youtube on bluetooth headphones while playing and this game keeps me just occupied enough to let my mind wonder. I also do this with eleven table tennis. The stages are very cool, the penguin minigame is fantastic. I generally take in the atmosphere while the computer is hitting the ball as looking down watching can strain the neck. Luckily the environments are awesome. Solid purchase for me and I’m still learning and getting better.

This game is absolutely incredible for a lot of reasons. If you have ever played pool in VR before, then I am sure you have experienced how insanely difficult it is to play accurately without the ability to rest your hands on the table while you take a shot. It seems that this game was born out of that difficulty. For that reason, this game exists perfectly at the intersection of “ridiculous” and “practical.”
There is something completely absurd about standing atop a pool table with a golf putter, but at the same time it feels so natural. It really makes you wonder why a game like this doesn’t exist in real life, outside of VR. This seems like the perfect game to play in the backyard during a cookout or something.
