Taiga
Update Mar 2021 - The sole developer of the game, according to
his statement, has been (quite unexpectedly, judging by the tone
of his message) drafted into the Russian Armed Forces. My guess
as a former Soviet would be him suddenly dropping out of college
as a most likely reason. But I am not here to speculate.
Here is his message.
–——————————
An important announcement that you should know about. I, the developer of this game, was taken into the army until November 2021. Based on this, you have already realized that at this time I will not be able to continue development, and of course I will continue development with tripled strength when I return.

Fire Place
It’s the perfect time for a virtual Fire Place
with days getting shorter and hazy seasons approaching.
The game – or rather simulation – offers a variety of scenes/locations to choose from, generally season unrelated.
You might choose the bonfire at the beach or the mediterranean looking fire-place for some chill summer evenings.
The game offers to many options to manipulate the behaviour of the fire itself and also the rendering/appearance to list them all. You can change brightness and glow but also get detailed control like how fast the heat spreads or the ambient heat which affects the fire.

Less game, more experience. Fire Place works as both a short-session way to chill and a long one if you need a sleeping aid. Once you’ve got a decent fire going it’ll keep itself active for about 20 minutes depending on available fuel, or you can tinker with it every 5 or so minutes to maintain it indefinitely. There are multiple scenes to work with, ranging from a generic campfire to an old Victorian-era fireplace in a vaguely spooky room.
Note here each fireplace layout features different audio, some of which is great and some…well, you’ll wonder why its addition to the game was celebrated lol. There are thankfully sliders for the music as well as everything else including how the fire reacts to materials - modifying some of these though can cause your GPU to break a bit of a sweat so low-spec users should be wary.

Krakatoa
EDIT: Alright so I just replayed this game TWICE and have to say the majority of all my problems were completely fixed.
I found about 2 new bugs, neither of which were game breaking and I don’t doubt the Dev will fix it as he does really care about this game.
Give this game a shot, it’s well worth it and if I can beat it before the update and twice after so can you.
LOVE THIS GAME, Try it now! I’ll add a link to my new playthrough when I get it uploaded soon.
New Playthrough as promised:

I love this game although at moments it touched a rage nerve lol. But it is great! Good atmosphere but the one thing I will touch on is the fact when you die it sends you back to the start which is really frustrating for me and probably others. But all in all a great game:) Check my playthrough and I got the bad ending so must get the good ending now:) Well doen Dev..I look forward to your next game:)

Going the Distance
This is a fun launcher game that is super relaxing and has nothing bad going on at all. Good gameplay, very nice story and characters as well.
I would suggest playing this game if your into horror or launcing games. Though to be aware does start slow, though it picks up super quickly in later levels.

FULL playthrough here (not on story(easy) mode once it uploads): https://youtu.be/SpLKHxlZ4Kc
This game is hard, but the story is amazing and it’s a ton of fun. I definitely didn’t see the game going how it did, but I loved every second of the main story. I will say I believe some of the items on the 2nd stage are impossible to get (mainly pothole 7, possibly 8 I couldn’t even find the thing in pothole 8 7 I just couldn’t possibly get to the left far enough while falling unless there’s a mechanic with the rover that’s not explained. Honestly this was worth every cent of $4.99 The visuals are amazing the play is fun even though grindy as a mf and i hate the blimp stage they’re so long. ACHIEVEMENTS DO NOT WORK AT ALL I beat the whole game and I’m 0 out of 35 which is a complete shame. If you want an amazing game though buy this. Now I have to go take my exam after playing this game for 13 hours straight and not studying adult choices xD. It was a struggle, but I went the distance (insert Cake song).

Shattered Gardens
Without a doubt, this is THE WORST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED ON STEAM TO DATE!! (900 Steam reviews)
I am sure this developer, if you’d call him that, is super PROUD to have developed the absolute WORST game of 900+ games I’ve reviewed to date. I’m sure his mommy and daddy are super proud too, what a great way to spend their $100 for the Steam fee!

This game HAS to be a “joke”. But even then, this “joke” of a game is so damn BAD that it’s not even funny. This game as a “joke” is about as funny as telling racist jokes at a black mans funeral.

Unto The End
I want to start of by saying that I have now beat this game 3 times. This game is truly a 9/10 for me as a standalone game. Does this mean this game is perfect? No. Does it mean it’s for everyone? No.
First: the not so good of this game. Initially, the combat in the game feels clunky. It’s quite difficult to learn early on, and the first play through can be VERY frustrating at times. Once the combat is learned well, it feels very satisfying though, but it never gets easier. There are no tutorials in game except for the “sparing area” which can be accessed from any fire. Though this helps with the basics, I wish there were a few more advanced techniques gone over. Another con for the game is the apparent random damage amount a player takes from enemies. It feels like sometimes you’re really hardy, and other times you’re a piece of over ripe fruit. Initially this can be frustrating, and apparently illogical, but after DM’ing 2TON about this in the game, I was told that damage variance comes from the current position of vulnerability the character is in. For example: if you are rolling when you are hit, you take 2 or 3 times the damage than if you are in a guarded position. As a design decision, I think that this makes sense for the type of game this is, but I would like to have maybe seen at least a mention of this in the “sparing area”. Last con for this game is that in some areas visibility of the character is frustratingly difficult where you need to interact with something because of placement of a rock or something.

Death is inevitable
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Unto The End (UTE) is a cinematic platformer that like several other indies rakes in uniqueness and originality. The main focus is the challenging combat that has excellent nuance. It doesn’t have much of a setup nor does it try and hold your hand at all. I should also address the storyline or rather, lack thereof. All that is shown is a Father leaves his family to presumably go on a hunting expedition. Of course, it isn’t long before he gets into trouble and players must aid him through an unrelenting frozen wasteland to return to his home.

AstronTycoon2: Ritual
I am playing the game for a while now and really enjoy it. At the first glance there were a lot of things going on so it took a while to understand villagers behaviour.
Game is very well balanced and have good pace. At the begining possibility to play on slow speed allowed me to absorb and admire nice nature and sun rises :)
Later on when making new buildings, harvesting or cutting wood I preferred max speed. At the later stage of the game, I just slightly changing villagers behaviour through economy interface and focusing mainly to build my own Stonehenge.

I love this game. I found it pretty intuitive, got stuck a few times but I figured it out. The motto of this game is KISS, Keep it simple, stupid. It has a basic recipe that once learnt permeates the game and allows you to progress at a good rate. I didn’t get all the achievements on my first play through and I learnt so much about where I should place things that I absolutely have to try again and I want to start from the beginning because, it’s just that much fun to play!
I can understand why some gamers may be frustrated with the game however I believe that has more to do with the current culture of gaming more so than the game. What I mean is, people are used to games that are tedious and arduous in nature. This game is casual, it has simple mechanics that are straight forward. If you can’t maintain enough herbs, consider that every time they are watered, they grow. If you plant 100 plants then your workers have to water them to full and then chop them, it is inefficient. This is the first lesson of the game. If you cannot figure out that the management style is about efficiency, then you will not enjoy this game.
