The Falconeer
Alright, here’s the dealio, I saw this game before it was released and was instantly enamored by open world flying and dog fighting mechanics (something I’ve dabbled in before and liked). I followed it very closely until it released and bought it almost immediately when it was available. At first I used a controller to play the game, unsure if keyboard and mouse worked (my preferred method), it was a bit wonky and the controls took some time to get used to. While the game says its not keyboard and mouse supported I play it keyboard and mouse anyway, my fingers are not suited for basic controller controls so when it can be keyboard and mouse that is my go to any and every time regardless if its made for it or not. Using my preferred control system does increase my enjoy-ability to play the game (because duh I can actually PLAY the game this way).

Above the clouds, freedom must be boundless… or not, as The Falconeer shows us. Our falcon makes it only just above the clouds. Most of the time we fly either very close to the ground or at cloud height, but not much higher. That makes sense, because it’s damn cold up there and the oxygen is a bit scarce.

Saints Row IV: Inauguration Station
There’s not much to say: It’s not really a demo, it’s a character creator for SR IV.
While it works the very same as the in-game thing does, this is actually everything - IAD, tattoo shop and all available clothing - in one place. So you see, it’s pretty useful if you don’t feel like running around the city looking for shops and cache.
Apart from being able to use pretty much every piece of clothing in the game (even some you can’t buy in-game at all - Presidential top) and saving cache, the huge advantage here is you can create your character(s) in advance, so you don’t have to bother when you start playing (in co-op it gets long and boring when one of you is trying to get their character right). I myself recreated (more like downloaded and edited) my favorite models from SR III, so now they are ready for more adventures.

it seems weird for me to write a review for what should be a demo, but I have to admit that I have put almost as many hours into this as I have the actual Saints Row IV game. The reason for this is because I like making VGCW characters in saints row, because I am a huge nerd. That being said, what the fuck, game? Why are there clothing options in the Inauguration Station that aren’t in the full game? Why are you so bad at this Voliton? I made a kick-ass Bowser, but you guys took out the apocolypse armor so now he looks like some fat yellow doofus.

Sonic Forces
This is a game that SEGA spent a lot of time hyping up, and does it live up to their hype? Not even close.
I’ll start with the positives: the game CAN be fun and it does have a few cool stages.
Now we get into the negatives.
Control: All the characters either feel really floaty or really stiff in terms of controls, and this is mostly evident in 2D sections. Often I found myself either overshooting a jump when I jumped from quite a distance away and several instances of bad braking which would send me down to a lower path or to my death. This happened a lot with Classic Sonic and the Avatar specifically, who had 2D sections more often than Modern Sonic did.

Where do I even begin?
In short: 5.5/10, just bland game.
Please read with an open mind :)
First, the Positives:
1. Music
Sure, Fist Bump (the main theme) can get a little repetitive, but the overall music was great, most of them compliments the level they were in, and the boss battle themes are spot on. Was kinda hoping Modern Sonic’s stages music would put more emphasis on the guitars & rock genre feel, or orchestra like in Unleashed. Most of them are EDM inspired (for me anyway), I don’t enjoy them as much as previous games' music, still great though.

However, if you do not want to search for treasures, you can rob caravans or unite in alliances with other players for large-scale expeditions and robberies.
Princess&Blade
Lovely game. Finally something sexy/erotic with a serious game play without the lewd stuff. Definitely a recommender for people who love hack & slash. It appears to have a memory leak which causes fps to degrade gradually as you play the game, but gamers who love melee fights, character customization and sexy, not vulgar fems, are gonna love this.
The game is very versatile, as each round has its own goals. Unlike games like Code Vein, it goes beyond hack&slash.
I always wondered why erotic games always had to be lewd. This game replied me: they don’t have to! Hope that, with time, more games in this genre make their appearance on Steam.

A little gem, having only played a hour or so , i already know i like this, dont be put of by the sexual content warning, there is mild nudity about, but really theres plenty of ok hack and slashing business to be had while impressing your blade in the finest evening wear, great character psychics beautiful settings, and hopefully a interesting relationship with your weapon, plus the notes say a single developer, hats off to them, well worth the price. will play more. and hopeful for even more content goodness, maybe relationship paths on how you interact with your blade.

Slime Dice
Roll Dice! Make Characters! Play Mini-games & Strategize Combat! Gather a team of your very own characters and defeat the monsters of Spegroon.

There are four different stats to invest into, and a large amount of abilities to select from. Mixing and matching these abilities, stats, and equipment is a big part of the game! Do this not only for this character, but up to a total of eight! Will you make a party of mages? Perhaps a pirate crew, wielding flintlocks and axes? Or, will you make a team based on characters from your favorite game/series? The choice is yours!
Solar Echoes: The Star Legation
STORY
Soon after the alien races began to explore outside their own star systems, they discovered each other. Hostilities grew into skirmishes and eventually, wars. However, some still desired peace. We’ve been taught that the Interstellar Union was formed in the year 1,023 LN. And we’ve been told of the human, Trey Donovan, who led the peace legation to unite everyone across the stars.
Details beyond that are varied and embellished, but we do have records of Trey’s past. This man, now considered a legend, was no diplomat. He grew up in entirely human-centric surroundings and had never ventured beyond human territories. He was banished to an exile colony after a dishonorable discharge from the military. He received no training for the peace legation that he supposedly led. Trey’s only known redeeming quality was his leadership and success in bringing law to a planet overrun with criminals.
How did this man travel to alien worlds and speak before powerful leaders? How was this human able to convince those alien leaders to send a representative with him to join the Interstellar Union? How did he survive the dangerous journey through space among an alien crew, several which were technically still at war with each other? There are still many unanswered questions about Trey Donovan and his journey across the universe. What really happened aboard that starship?
