Flavours of Fluff
Cascade Cafe is a well-framed brain teaser. What you see is what you get - a relaxing puzzle with a warm atmosphere. It’s all about combining tiles, matching values, creating paths, collecting usable items, setting traps, exploiting board gimmicks, and using auxiliary abilities that usually do something listed above. Sounds like a lot, but it’s actually all there is. Think ahead, enjoy the well-animated cascade effects you cause, and don’t sweat it. Despite never playing the Cascade board game, I breezed through this one with relative ease. Not prodded by hardships or a sense of achievement, but having the calm disposition and pristine autumn melancholy in my sails.

Creepy Mahjong
Creepy Mahjong is a dark theme Mahjong solitaire with a twist.
Levels follow a story, but each time you play, the story might be different.
Completing some levels or failing to, will bring you to a different path of levels to explore.
In each level, you have to fight a monster, and with the pass of time, your life reduces.
Each time a pair of tiles is removed, you get back some health.
If you get stuck and your health isn’t too low, you can escape and get a new monster to fight with, but be careful because your health is carried from one level to another either if you win or escape.
To bring you more into the creepy mood, this game purposely has no hints or shuffle, and some levels might not be solvable due to the random tile placement.
It’s up to you to figure out and decide when it’s time to escape and try to find another match or keep fighting.
Create and Share your own Levels
Purchasing Creepy Mahjong, you will also get access to a Level Editor where you can create your own design.
After designing your level you will obtain a code that you can use to share it with your friends and community.
Share your creations with your friends for an endless challenge!

The Captain is Dead
Fantastic. I’d never played the physical board game, but this was so much fun I went out and bought a copy.
Sure, I’m not a fan of the art style, and the fires on the ship are maybe a bit confusing - since they are purely aesthetic and don’t actually indicate problems, yet when you see fire you tend to assume there are problems. But these are minor points.
In The Captain is Dead, you play an intrepid crew of as many as 6 struggling to fend off ever-encroaching oblivion as your spaceship disintegrates around you. After each crew member takes their turn, another disaster strikes. Maybe the ship’s teleporter overloads, maybe an alien spacecraft attacks, or maybe a hostile raiding party beams in. If your shields go below 0%, you’re dead. If 13 invaders beam onto the ship, you’re dead. And if you spend so many resources avoiding those things that you can’t fix your ship’s jump core in time … guess what, you’re dead.

First of all, let me just say that I own the original board game copies of the TCID and its second episode (Lockdown), so you could say that I’m already a fan of the franchise. This is also the very first review I’ve written outside of an educational capacity, so I hope that you all find it helpful.
I. OVERVIEW
The Captain is Dead pits you (and a team of your buddies if you so choose) against an unknown alien enemy that attacks your ship for reasons unknown. Unfortunately for you, your captain, who could probably get you out of this situation with little to no trouble at all, has died (hence the title). You could escape by making a jump into light speed, but your jump core (or hyper drive) is on the fritz, and you don’t have R2-D2 to help you reactivate it. Therefore, it is now up to you to utilize the talents of the remaining crew to make all necessary repairs to the jump core, while mitigating disaster by fending off alien intruders and preventing the destruction of your oh-so-delicate ship.

Defendion
This a is great Table Top Tower Defense VR game…the best I have ever played! The Developers are very helpful as well, so we will look for more games from Dilly Frame in the future. I got hung up on 21 Wave, but the developers showed me the reason, and I was able to complete the game afterward. They still fix bugs in the game when you reveal them to the Developers. This game appears to be bug-free now, so it can be completed without issues.
Also, there is a lot of depth to this game, and it is well worth the full asking price. You can expect several hours of enjoyment before actually completing the game. Replay is also fantastic, because you have several achievements that you can go back to unlock. Superb game, guys! Keep them coming.

Fort Sumter: The Secession Crisis
A very faithful implementation of the original board game, which is a Eurogame by design with a historical ACW theme tagged on it. The game does have a decent AI and can be played solitaire as a result. Statistics on your own profile is available and so you can track your own performance vs. the AI. The only downside is the program still has a bug, freezing the solitaire game play from time to time and it seems Playdek was not aware of the issue. The multiplayer is easy to set up and game with score, measuring how you fare against others. However, there is no world ranking in the game, and different level of AI there is not. You can get notification in email when it is your turn in a game with another. A chat room is available but most of the time it is dormant. There is an alternate mapboard to give the game a variant, non-location look but I doubt people to use such a boring map. The gameplay is abstract and there is no manual inside the game or here on the Steam. You have to download it from the boardgame publisher GMT, as long as you are aware of it. This is absolutely a minor for the newcomer as the game itself is abstract and you are quite probably knowing what you are doing in the first few games. Once you get a hang out of the system, the game is smooth and quick to finish in 10 to 15 minutes. Overall, Fort Sumter is a game of tile-placement competing for control of the areas on the map. Score: 6.5/10.

I’ve been on the road a ton in the past couple of weeks and played the hell out of this. In about 60 offline games and a half-dozen online games I haven’t noted any gameplay bugs or rules/cards implementation problems as noted in another review. The recent AI bugfix improved the AI, and it’s competent enough in a mechanistic sense, but it' still a bit weak against experienced players, especially as it relates to setting things up in terms of the long game and Final Crisis. To be fair, that’s something the many human players don’t grok until they’ve played a while (which I have as an owner of the board game).

Big Klondike - Classic Solitaire

This is a fine game. It is a good job done by these developers. Aesthetically pleasing, nice sounds, reliability, no glitches that I could see. I have played one game so far and I am thanking these devs for their work with the DLC version purchase. I encourage anyone looking for what we used to have for free that now microsoft has cucked and apparently they need to sell subscriptions for and no ads; to buy this game. This is good craftsmanship by these devs.

Dots n Lines
Dots n Lines (Dots and Boxes) game is a classic and old school game brought you by Lighthouse Studio Europe.
The game starts with an empty grid of dots. Usually two players take turns adding a single horizontal or vertical line between two unjoined adjacent dots.
A player who completes the fourth side of a 1×1 box earns one point and takes another turn. (A point is typically recorded by placing a mark that identifies the player in the box, such as an initial.)
The game ends when no more lines can be placed. The winner is the player with the most points.
Hanoi Puzzles: Solid Match
Titles based on some old physical game are almost always a good choice, as long as the developer does not stumble along the way! Fortunately, Hanoi Puzzles: Solid Match is no exception. The implementation of this version is impeccable, and the fun from the original game is undoubtedly present here.

Solving all puzzle levels is easy. But finishing them within the sugested number of moves is not so easy.
Solving 5 levels in less moves then sugested, is a real challenge.
Recommended game for puzzle lovers and achievements hunters.

Crime Reaper
It’s a neat game, but 2 things it could really use are a harder difficulty than the current expert and a way to note which locations you have eliminated for a particular symbol. The current expert difficulty is still only 2 minute puzzle once you get a bit of practice and the greatest challenge is honestly when you need to keep more than 2 clues in your head in order to figure out where to put the next symbol.

It’s murder sudoku! The difficulty is fun (although I’d like there to be a harder difficulty setting, but I’m also a sudoku veteran, so there’s that), the rules are clever, the writing is… I’m sure I’ll get to it, once I stop clicking fast through it to get to more puzzles :D Very addictive, very nice UI, all in all, I highly recommend this for logic game aficionados.

Dorfromantik
Relaxing, at times quite challenging and very, very addictive. When this game first came out I was instantly obsessed. The mechanics are simple enough… Match up the tiles with field to field, house to house, forest to forest and so on, but even in your first round you will notice that this task is harder than it seems. You have to plan ahead and watch your pile of tiles, because before you know it, you have none left. To make sure you keep the game going you complete build-quests attached to tiles in your pile or found in the surrounding area as your landscape grows bigger. They require a certain amount of connecting tiles, either asking for a very specific number or anything above. You can also get tiles back when you perfectly match all the sides of a tile. The thrill of the hunt for a new high score keeps me up most nights.

Dorfromantik is puzzle game: You are given a stack of 50 tiles (where each side can be forest, farmland, empty, buildings, water, or traintracks). Some tiles give you quests (i.e. link up 50 buildings to this hex) which give you 5 tiles when completed. Some quests also drop a flag when completed, which gives you 5 more tiles if you block off that quest type (i.e closing the forest region off). You also can get 1 tile if you place a hex perfectly (i.e. each side is touching another hexside with the same stuff in it).The goal of each game is to play until you run out of tiles. The game has objectives, some of which are always counting, some of which only count if it is one of the three objectives given at the start of each game. If you complete those objectives you unlock unique tiles (i.e. a windmill hex where all 6 sides are farmland). Each objective has multiple levels which grow in difficulty/time investment to complete. This is why the main gamemode is a puzzle game, not a city builder, you are trying to last as long as possible and get as many unlocks as you can in one run. There is a creative gamemode which gives you unlimited tiles and the ability to skip or delete tiles you don’t want, but to get the unique tiles in the creative mode you must first unlock them in the base game. Overall, it is a very fun game, and can be pretty relaxing (so long as you aren’t trying to complete one of the harder objectives, such as placing 200 tiles in a row without having any tile side touch a hex whose side is different).
