The Yawhg
Initially, when I first heard of this game, I just figured, “hey, this looks kinda neat but I’m not paying $10 for it becuase I’m a lousy cheap-ass.” It looked like a cool concept to me and if it looks like a cool concept to you, then you’re perhaps in for something of a treat.
Now, when I first played it on my own, I wasn’t particularly entertained. I mean, yes, the different story paths were somewhat interesting and the various different endings were kinda cool but I wasn’t really absorbed into it. It was just something I used to make a good 45 minutes pass by one day when I was feeling bored. Then, while with some friends the other night, I decided to pull it out because we all needed a game to play and this just so happened to be multiplayer and seemed like a nice change of pace from the usual stuff we always tend to play (e.g. Genital Jousting, Jackbox Party Pack, etc.) What I didn’t expect was for us to keep playing over and over again for several more hours, as we found ourselves unusually entertained by this strange little game.

The Yawhg
The Yawhg is a quaint little game. The premise is simple, you control up to four characters in the weeks leading up to a great disaster known as The Yawhg. Nobody knows the Yawhg is coming, and you can only command your characters so far in that you pick an activity for them to complete each week.
Your characters will gain stat points for the activity you choose. For example, chopping wood increases strength. But random events will also happen, so while chopping wood you might meet a dryad, and they’ll ask you to dance. If your character has a high finesse score, you can impress the dryad with your dancing and receive a reward.

Super Dodgeball Beats
Great game, this game definitely deserves more attention.
The game feels well polished, and the art is really nice. It only has a few song, though it has just enough for a rhythm game. But the music is really energetic, catchy and really fun. But some songs are only playable in certain difficulties, which limits the amount of song even more. It would be great if these songs were available for each difficulty. There are 3 difficulties and each difficulty has 12 songs. But in total there are a actually 18 playable songs.

Super Dodgeball Beats is a tap-to-the-rhythm game at it’s core, with a heaping load of personality in design, animation, and artistic styling. The basic flow of the game is not exactly a game of dodgeball as we typically know, since the win/loss conditions of each match plays out more like tug-of-war, having a meter at the top of the screen that sways to either your team or the opponent depending on how well each team performs. Powerups are gained by filling a secondary meter, which increases as you hit notes with good timing, and are used to hinder the opposing team, or help your own when they unleash an attack on you. The goal of each match is to finish the song with the central meter leaning on your side of the bar, leading to victory by dealing one massively stylised killing blow and knocking out the other team and progressing up the points ladder to reach a bracket style elimination tournament, and eventually win the finals for each level of difficulty.

Trine 4: The Nightmare Prince
Playing Trine 4 right after Finishing T1,2 and 3.. The revert and a step back to Trine 2 design rejuvenate my faith for the game.
First of all, the concerning about Trine 4 continuing what they did in Trine 3 is gone. Trine 3 never existed in Trine 4 universe other than the inherrited assets and ideas (which also ruined Trine 4 in a way).
The Devs start a new story in Trine 4 with nothing related to Trine 3. Trine 3 never existed. You don’t get to see the ending of Trine 3, but you also don’t have to worry about getting half a game continued from a previous badly made one. This here is a full game of its own.

achievements
easy 100% - achievements order you to either finish a level or collect all obtainables. plenty of guides, plus it isn’t hard to find them on your own. DLC doesn’t contain any achievements, so you may skip it and still get 100% (unlike in Trine 2)
Trine 2 or Trine 4?
any of them will be good. Trine 4 has better graphics, polished HUD and better UX; Trine 2 has a better puzzle-combat flow. in other words one game nailed the presentation, another got gameplay right - but either of them will be a nice choice. I prefer Trine 2, tho

ROBALL
A classic fun arcade game, with a nice map and graphics. You play against bots that are very tough, so the game gives you a challenge. It is great for killing time at work and can be played on literally any pc or laptop. My recommendation for those who like this type of games .

achievements
achievements are great and easy - nothing complicated or terrible, just your good-old collectathon
next games are better
it is hard to review Trine 1, with Trine 2 and Trine 4 - much better and polished games - being around, but reviewing the game solely on the following games' experience isn’t fair, so let’s check game’s its own merits but keep in mind that the latter installments are far superior than Trine 1. if you are stingy on money, then look for Trine 2 or Trine 4 instead

Vertiginous Golf
This game is really pretty cool. It’s a minigolf game with a really cool fantasy-esque atmosphere and neat little contraptions all over. You build up power with swings and can use either a rewind button or a little jet thingie on your ball to move it slightly where you want. At first it seems like rewind is incredibly OP but the game gets fairly challenging and fairly fast. To the point it might even get a bit frustrating to some people. Luckily I was playing it with my girlfriend so I did honestly have a good time watch us both screw up a few times. The game’s got pretty good graphics and a neat art style and is surprisingly not too computer intensive too.

The Good
Vertignious Golf is a gorgeous game, both conceptually and stylistically. The game controls aren’t difficult to grasp, the music and sounds are well designed, and the interface is nice and clean, not interfering with the graphics – did I mention they were gorgeous? Oh, yes, I did.
The hummingbird and rewind features are welcome additions to the basic gameplay of minigolf. In fact, given the complexity of some of the holes, they’re requirements. The availability of a wedge in addition to a putter is welcome, adding a level of strategy absent in other minigolf games.

Tales of the Tiny Planet
A challenging physics puzzle. World 5/6 are very hard, especially marathon mode achievements are annoying. Still cute and enjoyable.

Very fun to play

This game provides a simple but addictive gameplay with 2 modes and 3 versus options.
If you can’t afford to buy a football table in real life, buy this game instead and you’ll experience the same.

Moving Out
Moving out is a great two player, up to 4 player, game. It is one that will test your relationships with your playing partners, but one that will also result in a lot of laughter as well. You are tasked with moving furniture out of homes, apartments, businesses, and more. You have a certain time in order to get a gold medal, silver medal or bronze. Once you beat the level once, you are given 3 objectives that you can do in each level. Sometimes you need to not get hit by a car, or not touch the snow. Some are simple, but some are a bit more complex. There are a few hidden objects to find for collector’s sake, but also for achievement’s sake as well.

I don’t have a lot of playtime on this game yet but fully believe it deserves a thumbs up. It’s true, this game is couch co-op only but that’s exactly how I play my games anyway. My wife and I play Overcooked all the time and were curious how this would compare.
So far, we view it as more laid back than Overcooked but not in a bad way! With Overcooked, you’re constantly looking to make sure you’re cooking the right food and serving it all in the correct order. While the challenge and strategy of Overcooked is fun, it can also be tiring. We found that with this game so far, we can sort of do our own thing and call for help when moving larger objects. We found ourselves laughing a lot as we try and maneuver the corner couch out the front door. Pivot…PIVOT!

Rainbow Reactor
EDIT: 1/21/19 - I originally expressed hesitation toward paying full game price, but that was before I realized the FULL ACCESS version would be much larger, and almost certainly a better cost / content ratio. Yes, I think a bigger and better game will be more worthwhile and more fun game.
–———————————————————
I paid full (sale) price (and I’m glad I did!)
This reviewer just spent 30 minutes playing Rainbow Reactor, and I had such a great time I (literally) had to force myself to stop! While perhaps not the world’s biggest fan of color matching games, I’m far from a stranger to the genre, and I have enjoyed it often while on Steam. Yet even in that context I don’t hesitate to take this opportunity to say that color matching through a combination of dexterity and strategy (mostly strategy, I’m inclined to think at this point) is just remarkably fun, and I sincerely thank the friend who told me about Rainbow Reactor.

I like this game. It’s a little more hectic than I expected but it’s unlikely to make you sweat. I particularly like that I got it at 67% off, it’s definitely a bargain at that price!
I completed the 8 levels of the main game in about 2hrs but haven’t managed to clear the bonus time stage. I also had a little teleport around. I haven’t tried SINGLE SHIFT yet.
The world you are in is well made and gives some grandeur to what is otherwise a quite simplistic game i.e. throw coloured ball in hole. However it does that very well. The colour blending (light not paint) works nicely, but they have clearly spent quite some time getting the throw of the ball just right.
