Burrow
Burrow is an ever-expanding sandbox style game where you can explore, create, and share small levels (called… burrows)
Creation is a core concept of Burrow, all of the level creation tools are packaged with the game and are designed with simplicity in mind. Hundreds of props, simple terrain deformation tools, and built-in LUA scripting makes designing your own worlds a breeze.
VR and Desktop players are both welcome! Oh yeah, and we’ve got multiplayer too! Cross platform play is supported. You can play alone, or with your friends, no matter if they’re on VR or Desktop.

Millville
Millville is a city builder with focus on its inhabitants. Provide housing and services for people to move into your town and try to collect all possible villagers there are!
Meet unique personalities, befriend them and solve their problems to unlock new buildings. You will quickly find that not everyone is happy with their neighbourhood - but some might even find the love of their life here. It is your job to help them finding their happiness within your city limits. Shouldn’t that be the job of every mayor?
Millville is for you a place to meet people, build your dream town and especially: to relax and take it slow. There is no need to rush through it, there is no urgency in the gameplay loop. Just take a breath, enjoy the view, have a sip of tea and put down a new street with a new little house.
Millville is an indie-game developed by a one-man-team in his spare time. It is inspired by class city-builders as well as farming and life simulators. Its vision is to breath more life and personality into each NPC than its usually common in city builders. The release date of Summer 2021 is subject to change.
The current goal for Millville is to offer:
-
ca. 200 unique Buildings to be built in your town
-
ca. 400 Villagers to be drawn into your city and to be collected, each with a unique personality, preferences and dislikes

Sector Six
Note: If you don’t like Diablo-like games please read the last paragraph of this review.
This is like a Diablo game but it is also unique in its way, it is a side scroller, shooter and you build a ship instead of an armored warrior. If you know Diablo-like games you already know this game too is all about loot, grinding and mindlessly destroying, highly addictive stuff. It starts with a story and you shoot various enemies such as spacecrafts, repair drones, bombardment towers, a mini boss enemy you occasionally fight called Apex, and a variety of bosses which are cleverly designed, while dodging projectiles in a bullet-hell like style and stuff, but, after collecting enough compartments to make a build, whether making it through relic items or set items (just like the set items in Diablo), dodging stops, and spamming various abilities and destroying everything in your path begins, and then you go on to grind loot to destroy them more efficiently. So yeah, you get the idea, it is a Diablo game.

Before I start, let me note that since the game is in early access I’m giving it a bit more leeway than usual, but my recommendation is already for the game in its current state.
I’d bought the game through an external website without realising it was in early access, so I was a little anxious to discover it later. I don’t have many good experiences with unfinished games. But I’m glad to report that, despite not being able to finish the full story and the game having some issues, I already got enough fun out of it to be worth the price.

The Sims™ 4
I’ve been playing Sims since 2000, at first only the console games but eventually also Sims 3 on PC. I have over 1000 hrs on Sims 3, and was a bit tentative to switch over to Sims 4 since I heard so many people complain during launch. I then had a period of time where I didn’t have a PC that could handle SIms, and so I only bought TS4 this summer.
I absolutely don’t regret the purchase. I guess most people who have played TS3 already have TS4 (or they don’t plan on getting it), so my review might not be that useful, but I would say that if you’re thinking about making the leap over then it’s definitely worth it if you buy TS4 on sale (which happens a LOT). I’m not sure that I would pay full price for many of the expansions though, and definitely not for the base game. As someone who has spent so many hours on TS3, I have a lot of fun with TS4 but also lack a lot of features and smaller details that aren’t available here. The only thing stopping me from going back to TS3 instead is purely the fact that TS4 runs a lot smoother.

It’s quite hard to write an accurate review for this game. Even among the most influential simmers, you will find different opinions on the game, specially the DLCs. To me, DLCs are a must to enhance experience. To be honest, no one can tell you, with a 100% accuracy, whether you will like this game or not; it depends on your play style. If you have a vast imagination on your own and don´t mind starting from scratch, I believe TS4 can be for you. I am giving the game the thumbs up because I personally have a lot of fun with it.

Odenavirus Online
I had fun playing the game. Although the main story being almost only dialogues, it has fun characters and an
exciting story showing some things we all as people are going through… A new virus, quarantines, fake news, negationism… I took 2 hours to complete the game. The online mode is fun too, I played it with a friend… We danced, kissed and drank some booze LOL

The Sims™ 3
As much as I love this game for nostalgic reasons, I can’t recommend getting it on Steam if you get it at all.
EA seems committed to screwing over Steam players, like they didn’t put it for sale on Steam in the first place. They don’t offer patches for the Steam version anymore, which means that unless you jerry-rig your installation to use an aftermarket patch, you can’t use any content you PAID FOR on the Sims 3 Exchange.

This game is hands down the best game there is. I recommend it 100%. It has so many details and so many things you can do. This game is a blast and is my favorite sims game. This is totally worth purchasing. The base game it’s self has so many things to do, and it is so much fun.

Live the Life
While this game is getting overhaul I must mention I play steam game “Coronation”.
Game is already interesting and immersive, its gorgeous that you can actually use toilet paper, flush the toilet, buy a bed and sleep better, make your clothes smell, sweat and need to clean them, need to eat and drink, work as a waiter, having a shower (the water effect and transition the sounds changes as you pass through it is is charming ), install appliances and plugging them into wall plugs, rest on ground being tired, not sleepy, install an alarm clock, If you are tired you cant run., this is the most promising thing I saw in long time. Visit beach, use a cart in a shopping mall.

It has potential to be a really good simulator, but it has its flaws. For instance, the FPS in John’s Diner can tank a lot and the mop gets stuck in my hand every now and then. Forcing me to save the game, quit it and reload it. Other minor bugs are the floating objects that can be seen around the map where AI once were. The game has a ton of customization options though for the apartment you’re given at the start. I just wish we could purchase a laptop, phone, or computer to purchase items online. Instead of having to walk all the way back and forth between the stores. Another thing that would be neat to see in game is some police, even if it’s just an AI cop car driving around. At least it’ll give it that more lively feel. If you are going to get this game, expect it to be annoying for the time being. Hopefully these bugs will be flushed out soon. I do recommend it though for those who like to customize things a lot, just choose Creative Mode for that.

Blockbuster Inc.
A fresh system based game for simulation fans
In Blockbuster Inc. you will take total control of your very own movie studio. You will be able to construct all the facilities, hire and manage all sorts of employees and stars with the aim to produce the most prolific films and Tv. There are 3 pillars of the gameplay:
Freeform construction system
An intuitive and deep construction system allows you to plan, build, decorate, clone and expand your studio with ease. Further link your road system, landscape the lot and create a smooth utility system to get the best out of your employees.
Play through the decades
Each passing decade affects the gameplay and visuals accordingly, from the way your employees and stars dress, the cars they drive, as well as their physical attributes. Random and historic events will spice things up for your studio.
Manage unique employee types
Not every employee is similar, stars like Actors, Directors and Producers require more attention than your average construction worker. Managing employees is fun, thanks to the randomly generated character traits for each employee. Will your main actor be a diva or a smooth operator?
Interactive product process
Control the different phases and parameters for your Films and TV shows, from choosing the sets, outfits, stunts and all sorts of options that tailor your products to your desires.
Our mission?
A one-of-a-kind experience. There has been no other game in the past decade to match the unique experience that Blockbuster Inc. is. That we promise.
