Curious Expedition 2
I’ve really enjoyed this sequel. I see a lot of criticism about bugs, art direction, and combat. Here’s my take on it:
Bugs:
Yeah it’s buggy, but it’s to be expected right now since it’s in early access. I was able to play the game all the way through. Some tips on impassable bugs I encountered: DON’T RUN OUT OF SANITY. When you do, you’ll get a tutorial popup telling you to rest/eat consumables, but you won’t be able to exit the screen. Instant game over and restart. Try and be diligent and stock up on lots of consumables so you never have to deal with that.

I really enjoyed this game. A lot has been changed and improved from the first game. It is a really fun challenge. I completed four complete campaigns and got all of the achievements in 145 hours of playtime. The value for the price is fantastic.
You begin by choosing a leader. As you progress in the game, additional leaders become available that you can use in future playthroughs. I changed my mind on my favorite leader a couple of times, so there are definitely options for everyone with vastly different strengths. The leader makes a big difference in the best way to approach specific expeditions, but it isn’t limiting options - you can still generally play how you choose with whichever leader you pick.

Plaguepunk Justice
Great mix of roguelike and squad based strategy. Unique setting and mechanics for a zombie game. Love the art style and the music is very enjoyable and gives a nice tone. Very polished with no crashes or issues so far. Has that addictive “one more turn/mission”. Glad I found this hidden gem.

recently got this game on sale, got completely hooked within the first three missions
the style, dialogue, combat, and crafting system are all top notch, 10/10
some of the things that hold the game back in my eyes is the movement, often times passing through another person (or vice versa) can mess up my placement, but to be fair thats just a learning curve
the combat enforces high mobility because of the healing combat, and i think thats really interesting. It makes positioning, resource management, exploration, and map awareness very important. Also requires a little bit of tracking which “patients” you have already treated, etc

The online option is very limited (only 1v1, no realtime matchmaking), and the local pass-n-play does not offer a blanked out between screen to have time to switch. All in all, I was very disappointed by the limited options for actuall play this game gives.
In addition to these grievances, if someone has bought an expansion (like the historic characters) and sets up a game with it, you cannot play it unless you buy it as well!
And we’ve not even touched upon the interface…

The Bluecoats: North & South
The game is full of bugs, errors, AI should be improved a lot, keyboard commands are not always comfortable, the map is quite uncomfortable.
But it was my favorite game on the Amiga and that’s okay then
UPDATE
After 24 hours of gameplay the thing I find most annoying during the assault on the forts is the lack of footsteps in the enemies and the spawn behind them

Not bad, actually. I read the controls were not good originally but that an update fixed it, for me they were working with an American keyboard. The new 3D shooter fights are not bad but I miss the original jump’n’run environments.

Medium: The Psychic Party Game
Game crashes constantly. Now neither my friend nor I can even log into our games or get anything started.

The Little Trashmaid Puzzletime
Lots of nice puzzles to play! However, there are some things that make this game a bit tedious
-
Lack of proper volume control. There are only 3 volume settings: Loud, Medium and Mute. No slider or more options
-
Pieces have to be held after clicking. Please add a toggle or something where we can select what mouse option we want, between click, hold and drag the piece, or click once, and the piece is stuck, click again and the piece is released.
Other than that, it’s a decent puzzle game. Laughing at all the pictures from old episodes, and some new ones as well!

I love that the puzzles are pictures from the webtoon comic plus there is actual art of the characters.

Silicon Valley Investor
Huh, I surprised when it finished suddenly at the end of the 25th investment year. Even if it was stated at the beginning I missed that point. I am disappointed for it, 25 is a short period I think. Isn’t it possible a 30 years old people, starting investment with 300-400k and S/he can live 60 more years.
Why did I restricted to buy a limited amount of company share? If I had enough money, I should buy whatever I want.
I did not interested with social skills at the beginning (because I don’t know it will end after 25 years.), so I have no idea about this part.

Before the battery´s over
Very good puzzle, I’m afraid there are only 7 scenes left and I only have 40% of the battery, I need finish before the battery runs out! A great experience and I think I will have a great ending!

Simple and effective artstyle and storytelling.
I’m not in the middle of the game yet, and had to come and recommend this game.

If you are a comic book fan like me, there’s a lot to love about Sentinels of the Multiverse.
It is the digital version of a tabletop card game, where each character and environment is a fixed deck of cards.
There’s a lot of variety here, different heroes with backstories and themes that remind you of famous DC or Marvel characters, many variants of those heroes that unlock after certain conditions are met. These are really fun to accomplish and sort of introduce you more and more to the lore of this universe.

The Dope Game
The price isn’t that bad, especially considering the current prices of the trading cards. The game itself however is pretty lackluster coupled with a mandatory install for another (free) game in order to unlock all the locations/perks in this game.
The “secret lab” isn’t implemented yet, and the “fun park” is pretty dull as well.
The horrible horrible soundtrack.
The music, and sounds, isn’t bad for the first couple of playthroughs. But once you get the basics down, and start spending -10 seconds on each screen it gets pretty frustrating.

Overview
Drugwars, Dopewars, and now there’s The Dope Game. Same concept, but now it’s on Steam. In case the player somehow doesn’t know the drill, every game starts with a player borrowing money in a turn-based strategy to speculate on the dope market all the while either avoiding (or winning) fights with gang members and cops while hoping to raise enough money to pay back the loanshark and keep buying and selling their way to riches before the days expire.
