Evil Cult
Evil Cult gives the player control over a Cult which tries to take over key figures in society to spread its influence and complete the Final Ritual, before any of the competing cults.
Generators generate resources, making them an obvious prime target for expansion, yet the easier (cheaper) to influence Adepts increase the probability of gathering Virgins, which serve as resource wildcards and are of course necessary for rituals as a sacrifice.
Sects within the cult allow for some optional micro-management. However, the player’s attention is mainly directed at the expansion on the map, resource balance, and awareness of the Investigator.

This game represents a very niche and rare computer game genre: the cult simulator. There are only two games I know of in this genre: 1. Evil Cult, and 2. Cults and Daggers, which is also available on Steam. This game has great potential, and is being improved with expansion sets. I highly recommend this game, which also has an excellent soundtrack.

Relaxing VR Games: Mahjong
This is a perfectly functional and smooth-running game, but I still can’t endorse it, even under $1. First of all, this isn’t Mahjong. It’s Mahjong solitaire. It runs on Oculus Rift only, as the description states. I thought that won’t affect streaming to Quest, but I was wrong. The two scenes are nice, but low resolution and they don’t have any motion (like a babbling brook that is frozen in time). VR brings nothing to this game, in fact they have compensate for it by tilting the board as you look at different areas so tiles don’t get covered up. That’s not nauseating, but what is nauseating is the HMD only tracks rotation, not movement, so you’re head will be moving left or right, but the world around you doesn’t reflect that. The only options are to turn sounds off (not even a volume controller).

Kings of Israel
Great PC adaptation of the board game. Set up works for multiple players only if sharing the same device; play can be split between two players (1 prophet per player) from what I can tell. So far I’ve only played solo. Love the Bible study/trivia option!
EDIT: On the standard play mode, I have now reached level 5 (Saul), which increases the number of prophets involved to three. I personally take about 20-30 minutes per game (unless I lose in the first ten). Based on the settings available for the Custom game option, it looks like there may be as many as four prophets in play at once. In Custom mode, you can also choose which prophets are in play, whereas the standard play-by-ranking mode assigns prophets at random. Definitely recommend playing in Custom or Bible Study mode if you don’t want to affect your level ranking status! Bible Study mode provides both good and bad consequences to your multiple-choice response, making it worth cracking open your Bible (or clicking the online Bible links provided) for the right answer. Highly recommended to you if you like turn-based games, strategy, and fun ways to engage with the Holy Bible!

From a secular perspective, it really depends on what you are looking for in a game. This game is rich in its representation of historical content, if you accept that it is based entirely on the Bible. It makes extensive use of RNG, which I understand is not popular among many gamers, but is a very appropriate way to represent human behavior. Not that it is random per-se, but in life humans will often either surprise you, or at the very least the number of things they might do is so varied that trying to make a specific prediction in a moral-political context is not likely going to be accurate. It really feels appropriate to have so much RNG in this context, but there is a little you can do to maximize your output. In short, this game uses mechanics that are generally not very popular, but in a highly appropriate manner for the subject matter.

Hidden Object - Food
Hidden Object - Food, how well do you know your foods?
Our verdict: Unworthy
Find out why in our full game review .
– Real player with 0.7 hrs in game
Hidden Object - Food is not even worth the 0.49 cents it is on sale for. At best, it should be one of those free game apps that displays ads between levels - if it even had levels, which it doesn’t. I do not recommend it.
The root problem is that there is only one mode, timed, and very briefly timed at that. It is meant to be played in speedy sessions just to rack up a higher score that it does not keep track of. There are three difficulty modes that give you instructions like “Find 2 coffees.” 2 Coffees? Does that mean cup of coffee? Does that mean coffee beans? Well, just wait a few seconds because the game vibrates the objects you are looking for if you aren’t moving quickly enough - and there is no way to turn that cheaty feature off.

How to play?
For each level, player is required to tap the square buttons and need to memorize what is behind it in order to match its couple. It is a single player game, but it can be played by two or more players. Players can compete with others or with their own record. It has time counting.
Mahjong Pretty Girls Battle : School Girls Edition
The very first thing that should be iterated about this game is that it is by NO MEANS a good way to learn how to play Riichi Mahjong at all. Don’t buy this expecting it to include a tutorial on how to play; the only “help” it includes is a quick reference to what buttons do what when pressed. This game is basically your standard, low-budget, offline Mahjong software that’s pretty common in Japan. As such, it’s marketed towards a demographic which is already, at the very least, passingly familiar with the game and how it’s played. The translation was likely done via google translate in an attempt to make more sales by cashing in on a Western audience who might’ve watched Akagi or Saki and thought “man, I have no idea what the fuck is going on but this looks really cool! I want in!” In that respect, it would seem that the developers were pretty successful in their endeavour, much to the buyers' dismay.

Pros:
-
fully functional Riichi Mahjong on Steam
-
“custom rules” like number of rounds, starting points, open tanyao, red fives, etc.
Cons:
-
“pretty” and “cute” are subjective. Just a handful of the girls don’t look like shit
-
no tutorial for beginners, not even basic stuff like a scoring table or yaku-list. If you can’t play riichi you won’t learn it with this game
-
horrible gamespeed. You have the choice between painfully slow and way to fast. Choose slow and one game lasts several minutes. Choose fast and the AI discards 3 tiles in a split second. Best thing about that: If the AI calls on a discard for a win you don’t know who it came from and what it was until a cut scene ends.

Cabals: Card Blitz
Well, I have had many hours of fun trying to level up in this groovy title.
I just ran out of content upon reaching rank II.
There is strategy, and nail-biting, edge of your couch moments, and
there are times you take a break and play something else while you let
your high levels take time to level.
Looking forward to my first card over the monumental level 10 but
will wait for new content that is promised. With NO real end…
there isn’t a lot of drive to carry on at the moment.
BobMan’s Final verdit:
– Real player with 464.4 hrs in game
I’m currently #4 on the worldwide PvP ladder in this game.
As you can see by my time spent in this game, I really tried to like it. It’s a fun browser game concept.
BUT you asked for $$$ after essentially everything you do. You can still have fun, but it’s God damn annoying.
Which would be something I could life with, if this game was more than a cash in.
There’s so much wrong:
-
At some point PvE simply ends. You LITERALLY can’t fight a single battle anymore.
-
You can only fight 5 PvP battles/ hours without paying $$$

Lara Croft GO
A great Puzzle game with a lot of cool mechanics and awesome graphics.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1504132845
There is nothing connected with Lara Craft series except Lara Croft. I played some games earlier, they were made in action/RPG setting with a lot of dialogues and story. There is no story, there is no action and RPG elements. There are just Lara and a lot of puzzles :D
The game is turn-based puzzle game. There is no hurry, so you have a lot of time to think. Levels are small, so even if you die, you don’t need to make a lot of same actions again.

After the excellent Hitman GO, it would have been trivial to follow up with another game in a similar gameboard based world, just putting in the certainly much more attracrive Lara in place of 47. However, Square Enix Montreal took the high road, and ended up with something much more, and also much less… at least it looked like that for quite a while. Bear with me, this review is going to be of the long-a**ed persuasion.
By taking the high road, I mean that SqEM invented a completely different environment for the turn-based puzzles of Lara Croft GO. They chose to look like an old-school platform game set in 3D, surreptitiously inserting visual extras like dynamic lighting and smoothed edges into the decidedly low-poly environment. As a result, the game’s more closed-in spaces look simply very good, and then they open to beautiful vistas, sometimes containing not-yet-seen (or already seen) parts of the environments. The jungle / cave complex is rather static, so it’s all the more intense when some action like unfriendly animals or giant boulders happen. Massively adding to the atmosphere are the excellent sounds like gates crashing down behind, underlining the impossibility of going back, or the restrained soundtrack that’s maybe more a soundscape. In short, the game provides one of the best “being there” feeling I’ve ever encountered, and it’s pure joy to walk through the game’s levels, basically uninterrupted…
