NBA 2K20
This is not a gameplay review. I’m gonna try to be as brief as possible.I am a LONG time basketball game player, actually since these things exist. I’ve seen everything. Yet, i’ve never seen anything like Nba 2k. On one hand you’ve got a solid base game with an enormous amount of content and potential. The gameplay is actually the most solid it’s been in years, even the story in my career is by far the least cringey i’ve ever seen. The graphics could though really use a new engine, as this one’s been showing signs of old age for quite some time. But on the other hand, you’ve got a publisher who literally doesn’t give a single f$%### about the users. The game is riddled with bugs that have been there for years and haven’t gotten addressed, they’re still the single most greedy gaming publisher in the world with the pay to play mechanics of the Virtual currency, but THE ABSOLUTELY WORST part of it all….

Fuck this game. Don’t give 2K your money until they learn to respect their customers.
1. The servers suck. Not only is it hard to sometimes find other players, but even when you do connect the delay is very noticeable, and in a game where timing is key, it makes it unplayable at times.
2. Matchmaking is bad. You either play against someone who’ll mercilessly crush you, or someone who just booted up the game for the first time. It’s rare when you’ll actually compete with someone at your level.

Vertiginous Golf
This game is really pretty cool. It’s a minigolf game with a really cool fantasy-esque atmosphere and neat little contraptions all over. You build up power with swings and can use either a rewind button or a little jet thingie on your ball to move it slightly where you want. At first it seems like rewind is incredibly OP but the game gets fairly challenging and fairly fast. To the point it might even get a bit frustrating to some people. Luckily I was playing it with my girlfriend so I did honestly have a good time watch us both screw up a few times. The game’s got pretty good graphics and a neat art style and is surprisingly not too computer intensive too.

The Good
Vertignious Golf is a gorgeous game, both conceptually and stylistically. The game controls aren’t difficult to grasp, the music and sounds are well designed, and the interface is nice and clean, not interfering with the graphics – did I mention they were gorgeous? Oh, yes, I did.
The hummingbird and rewind features are welcome additions to the basic gameplay of minigolf. In fact, given the complexity of some of the holes, they’re requirements. The availability of a wedge in addition to a putter is welcome, adding a level of strategy absent in other minigolf games.

MONOPOLY® PLUS
This game is so much fun for the whole family! You get to roleplay as Mr. Monopoly man’s henchmen; people are saying that the game is glitchy and crashes a-lot, but I disagree! It only crashes when you SUCK at the game haha. Anyway, I totally recommend this game for any hard-core video gamers, but also casuals alike! Bots are really fun to play with because they make me feel adequate in my life.
I just don’t understand the hate for the game. Mr. Monopoly gave me this nice Kool-Aid and everytime I play the game I just have a blast… :) 10/10

The game is great but there is one problem. The NAT type problem. For some reason this game has a weird system where most of the time you have a strict NAT type which means you can’t join online games with friends so it locks you out of the fun part of the game. Additionally Ubisoft have done nothing so far and you have to port forward whatever it is in your router in order to fix it. This is the only game that has this problem. No other game has this problem to what I believe. The main game is great but connecting is the biggest problem this game has.

Silicon City
I really enjoy this game! The perfect amount of challenge while still being great fun and just a little bit mindless since I play to relax and not to create more work for myself. I look forward to the next evolution of this game!

Very nice take on SimCity-style games. I especially enjoy the graphs of various metrics, and ability to really drill down into each silizen’s life. I am excited for continued development and look forward to how this game will evolve!
From a playability standpoint - on my laptop (8gb ram, i7 (4 cores @ 2.20GHz)) at lowest settings, the game plays reasonably when going on the 1x speed. Either of the faster speed options causes the game to become very choppy. Even when using 1980’s top-down style it seems to be quite slow (perhaps because that’s just a different camera angle?). Increasing simulation speed also seems to mess with the power grid distribution: when my network is not super-saturated with electricity, running at a faster simulation speed makes parts of my city run out of power. But if I turn it back down to 1x and wait a bit of time, all of the buildings will come back online.

Potion Party
I received this game as a birthday gitf. My friends and I have agreed not to buy multiplayer/party games as a group, since our schedules rarely allow us to actually play something together. So, I left Potion Party on my wishlist, afraid to waste money on yet another game I wouldn’t get to play with anyone. I was actually quite happy to receive it, tho, and more so when I realized I could use the remote play together to invite others to play with me. I didn’t felt like burning my PC while playing with friends, so I’d say it’s quite fun. It’s challenging, but just enough not to cause frustration or annoyance when someone makes a mistake. You can also play it alone just fine, and some strategies work better when you’re by yourself or part of a duo instead of a quartet. It’s a great game and I’m very happy with it. 3

First of all, I absolutely adore this game.
The art is cute and it’s pretty fun to play. I spent hours playing it with my friends and had a blast.
That being said, I have an issue with the multiplayer in this game. This game is only couch co-op (meaning local) or is remote play. I had to do the remote play as all my friends that wanted to play were online, which made playing the game difficult. The game was extremely laggy for my friends and it made playing the game very challenging at times. VS mode is pointless to us, because it just lags too much for it to be fun.

Get Packed: Fully Loaded
This is the definitive co-op mayhem game! If you like chaos, mayhem and laughing with friends and family this is the game for you!
I played the hell out of this on Stadia. Now that it is no longer laggy as its STEAM it is even better. The controls are easy on a controller.
My Wife and I love playing it couch Co-Op, Lots of Easter Eggs and references to pop culture through out.
There is a solo mode but note you wont be able to do all the challenges - this is defiantly a co op focused game. Fun Solo, Crazy fun together!

Great party game !
-
Don’t necessarily have to play with friends - single player mode is just as fun. (especially destruction)
-
Great replayability for multiplayer, lots of ‘versus’ levels in addition to regular levels.
-
Nice soundtrack, songs are catchy.
-
Love the simlish-esque speak of the characters and cut scenes.
-
A variety of customisation options for characters (would always love to see more tho ;) )
Overall a fun game to play alone or with friends, only issues i had were due to my poor internet connection.

Mint Works
Language errors all over the place.I found the tutorial not very clear, especially for such a simple game. I have only played the solo mode so far and the displayed AI move is so fast I cant work out what is happening most of the time. Gradually I am getting used to it but this implementation is much harder to follow than it needs to be. Layout of the screen is also in need of improvement.
Cannot recommend at its full cost at this stage.

A nice, ultra-lean spin on the worker placement genre. I haven’t had the chance to play the online yet, but the solo game is pretty challenging so far and goes extremely fast. Each round I’ve played so far I’ve pieced together a bit more of a strategy and it has that “can’t quite do everything you want on your turn” feel that’s the hallmark of a good worker game. My only complaint is the music is very repetitive and while you can turn it off, the game feels a little empty without anything in the backgroud, but otherwise this is a great digital board game. I love that this has cross-platform as well, in my opinion you can’t have a digital board game without that.
