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

Space Cats Tactics: Prologue
The demo looks pretty nice, though it can be a bit glitchy at times, but still it gives a great view of what’s to expect on the full game.
The combination of turn based Tactic, a little bit of RPG, and some strategy seems to work well in harmony, the zoom-in-out of the camera let us go in as detailed as the crews on board or as far as the space area outside the ship. Though this isn’t the 1st game i owned with this design, it’s still fun nevertheless, and i am starting to like this genre the more i play them. But hey, gotta be honest, it’s the cats i am after… lol! :3

I stumbled across this game well looking over steam for a new game to play for my boardem… and well I LOVE this game so far the demo is well made and the story seems like it could add up to somthing and the devs art style is just AMAZING but I do have alot of issues to for one the first time I booted up the game it was full of bugs and crashed tryed again and it worked without issue but it is pretty bug filled and that makes sense for a pre alpha game tho tbh but add it to your wishlist and id wait for the 2022 game if you wanna really play this game for real rather then a demo but so far it looks amazing! good game! its a free demo try it out and if you like it then add to wishlist and if you dont then ignore theres not much to lose if you get the demo!

Tiny Space Academy
10/10 - After 41 hours, a little story -
It was my first attempt at a crewed landing on Mars, of course I’d made mistakes. So, the lander arrived with too little fuel to survive the descent. But also, I found I’d mis-connected the faring triggers, so the ship couldn’t re-configure to land properly anyway. It looked like the trip was a bust.
But, just as I was about to scrub, I noticed the ship’s trajectory skimmed the outer Martian atmosphere before the ship went flying into the deep black forever. So my brave, doomed crew figured what-the-heck might as well test if the broken faring blocks the parachute deployment BEFORE WE ALL DIE.

Very good value for money.
Strong “Just one more go” factor.
While there is a learning curve, it would be a far inferior game if there wasn’t. Personally I got the hang of it quite quickly, but I have played a lot of Kerbal Space Program.
The game undoubtedly presumes some familiarity with this sort of game. So total beginners may struggle a bit at first. But your perseverance will be rewarded.
I found this game to be just as satisfying to learn and succeed at as any other game in this genre, for a fraction of the price.

Puzzle Together
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
The Good - You can play with friends in real time without having to invite them over and clutter a table and worry about losing pieces. In this time of social distancing it is a way to play with friends and family members with out worry.
The bad - there seems to be a problem with the idle indicator. If you get the msg (are you still there?) the puzzle freezes and you have to close the game and restart it and rejoin the group.
The Ugly - the price. 5 free puzzles and then ,99 for each additional puzzle. Micosoft jigsaw puzzle has hundreds of free puzzles you can buy additional packages of puzzles as you need them for much less. I would be more inclined to buy a package then individual puzzles.

I definetly recommend this game if you like puzzling/ puzzling together every once in a while
I haven’t payed for the game so this is a review from the no pay perspective
pros:
-fair amount of free puzzles (6) which are also changing (motive) regularly (every month or so, idk the exact rhythm)
-optional ingame voice
-ingame chat
-optional ingame music (many (maaany) different radio frequencies)
-you can sort the puzzle pieces by command and choice (colour, segments, edges, etc.)

Exodus H
As it stands this is not a game, maybe you’d call it a foundational engine for one. The videos are misleading, all the demonstrated functionality seems to be missing or at the very least fundamentally broken. I reported a bug that was fixed and patched in a few hours though, so there is hope I might have cause to change my review later. I considered getting a refund really as it seems that no one is actively testing the game before releasing, but that last patch made me choose not to. I might regret that choice later if there is not enough patches and improvements in the next couple of weeks.

Star Control®: Origins
I have broken this review into a few sections, because I feel like what you need to know depends on where you are coming from.
You played Star Control 2, and liked it a lot?
You should like this game. It basically follows the same formula in terms of story and gameplay, but with some welcome improvements, such as an automatic story log where you can review key details of past encounters, and a searchable star map with the ability to add your own bookmarks.
There are also some other subtle improvements. Enemy factions have more than one type of ship you will encounter, bringing added variety to combat. Your own allies will only provide one kind of ship, but your flagship can be equipped with a wide variety of different types of weapons and other abilities.

tl;dr; A beautiful and very funny adventure which is drowning in grindy, under- or mis-developed mechanics. [Verdict: 2/5]
=========================================
I have bought the game myself and completed it.
Let’s list all the positives first:
-
Very good art direction overall. Graphics, animations, aliens: all are very well done and a joy to look at.
-
Good story. Nothing super-original, but good enough with some minor twists and turns.
-
Interesting lore: using the main and also side quests there is a lot background information which enriches the world of this game.

The Political Machine 2020
I played a few rounds of this game, some multiplayer, some singleplayer. Overall, I really enjoyed this game for what it was worth. The game is charming, in a humorous way. I really enjoyed the ideology system, and how it influences and reshapes the race depending on candidates are in on the race. My friend and I made some custom candidates, did stupid matchups, and we had a lot of fun just pushing the ideologies to their limit. Some of the ideologies, like fascism or giant meteorism, just end up shooting you in the foot, and its amusing to see races devolve into stupid fights between two godawful candidates.

This game needs a LOT of work, and with it now being over six months from launch I doubt that’s happening. It seems more time and resources were put into releasing the “Founding Fathers DLC” then going back and finishing their original broken product.
Perhaps the most glaring issue is that this product seems to have been made purely off some designers intuitive bias rather than any actual polling data. Universal healthcare and universal basic income are unpopular with “independents” but “Build the Wall” is. It also lists Trump’s intelligence as “smart” while Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s intelligence as dim, despite placing second in the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair while in High School, being bilingual, and graduating cum laude from Boston University with a bachelors in both international relations and economics. Meanwhile the geniuses that built the game have the same issue “farm subsidies” listed twice in the policy management tab, as well as a few spelling errors.
