Imagine Earth
I purchased this game some time ago and have waited a long time to review it, due in part to some issues I had with it, but also because I wanted to be fair, considering that it is an early access game. So with that being said, my review:
So I was flipping through the steam games and I came across this game called “Imagine Earth” in the simulation section, I saw that it had a demo and decided to try it. At the time the demo only had a missions available, a simple interface and not a lot in the way of content… but I was hooked.

I really like Imagine Earth. It’s a fun, lightweight city building game, where you have to keep track of not only economical, but ecological development as well.
The game has come a long way since its appearance on Steam. I get, that a lot of people compare this to games like Anno, don’t! Anno was made by a company worth billions, this game was made by a small indy team.
And especially in times of heat waves and forest fires in North America and South Europe, never seen floods in Europe and Asia it is good to see, that some people still try to educate about global warning.

Farm Day 2021
This game is not demanding on resources and does not take up much space on your PC. I liked it as I have an old computer. There are a lot of different gameplay elements and interaction functionality. Recommend!

Kingdom of Assetia: The Clicker Game
this game is not as bad as many i’ve played on steam, i know this game is early access but its a hard grind right now, hopefully the balancing will get sorted soon

Great Clicker/Idle game! Started rough, But it is an Early Access game after all, Developer has fixed the balancing issues as well as added more content and is really fast when it comes to fixing bugs that have been reported to him.

Tap Tap Builder
This is the sort of game that I historically like, but this game I simply didn’t. Parts of the interface are unintuitive, like having to do each section of road fully independently and there being no option to place them all and tap them sequentially.
The graphics are a very particular style, which I personally quite like, but I can see why people might not.
In summary, I think that this game feels like a bad port of a mobile game. I don’t know whether or not it is, but it has that feel. In its current incarnation, it unfortunately isn’t something that I can recommend.

Festivals - Headliners
Design your Event Sites, Book Artists, Build your Career as a Promotor and Produce your own Festivals in Festivals - Headliners.
Construct your Site
Build the festival site of your dreams with dozens of stages, food stalls, bars, and hundreds of decorations, billboards and lights. Put up fences and lay down paths to guide your guests in the right direction across your venue and include signing to manage any crowding. Use generators and power lines to form a temporary power grid. And most important of all, keep your fans safe.
Setup your Lineup
Every festival needs entertainment! Book bands, DJs and other talent to entertain your visitors, design awesome shows, include special effects, and make it a night your guests will never forget. And add fireworks. Lots and lots of fireworks.
As your career progresses, you make more connections, and get the option to book some very popular artists and acts for your events. Take good care of them, they’ll draw in huge crowds!
Be ready for D-Day
Start load-in early enough to be ready on time, but not too early or you’ll spend too much on rental. Don’t start too late, because you’ll never know what might happen. The event industry always has some “interesting” surprises for you along the way. Stay on schedule!
Staff Management
A festival is only as successful as the staff running it. They are your most vital asset, treat them accordingly. Hire staff in advance, so you know you have the best people on your team. Provide training and coaching to ensure they’ll stay with you for years.
During the event, provide them with good catering and plenty of breaks. As always, safety is important, so make sure everyone is wearing earplugs!
Finance
While hosting festivals is the most fun job in the world, money still has the be made to pay the bills. Not everyone is doing this for fun. You have to be careful not to overspent. As most festivals don’t make any profit in their first 3 events, don’t be to hard on yourself, but if you’re still in the red by year 4, you might want to consider a different profession. Also, not everyone is to be trusted. Watch out to make sure you’re not lured into anything illegal.
First-person / Third person
Of course you’ll want to witness the spectacle first-hand. As your the head of the event, your AAA card grants you access to every nook and cranny of the venue. Walk around among guests in first-person view, take control of the FOH booth where the lights are controlled, or join the talent on stage to wave at the crowd!
Workshop
From the early release on Steam on, you’ll be able to share your festival sites on the Steam workshop to share with your friends! Before the final release, we’ll add options to add your own assets to the game, which you’ll also be able to share on the workshop. How this exactly is going to work is still a secret, sign up as a tester to learn more first hand!

Fleeting World
not much to do and not much to look at.
But the soundtracks is very pleasant and the concept of a changing landscape is interesting.
All things together it feels like I just paid for a very simple ludum dare game.

Fleeting World is a somewhat simplistic “city builder” strategy game where you must build a village, then place various resource harvesting outposts around yourself on the grid (so you can afford to place more resource harvesting outposts, etc etc). The trick is that the small 16x16 grid that is the game world changes over time. You need to regularly pay a bundle of resources to the gods or they’ll increase the rate at which the world changes (and thus destroys your village/outposts etc, setting you back).

This is an extremely chill, wholesome and laid-back city builder. If you’re looking for something realistic, this game isn’t for you. If you’re looking to build a fun, pretty city like I was, then it is PERFECT. The mechanics are intuitive and simple. The graphics are aesthetically-pleasing and unique. I often find myself wandering around my city, admiring the views. It’s so easy to get caught up in the nitty gritty details of perfecting a plaza. Too easy, as I kept telling myself “One more street.”, “One more block.” and soon enough I filled up the entire map.

Sky Tale
A fun game to pick up and enjoy some nice hours in sandbox mode or try to get the highest points possible. Quite simple but still enjoyable overall.
The achievements are fun and challenging, but the windmill/wheat field one seems to be broken/wrong, as with all 8 wheats placed directly next to water tiles seems to never trigger a progress on the achievement itself.
Some polishing might be required, so that users can actually know how many resources there are on a tile (X rocks, X trees), how many resources are taken by each building (e.g. by hovering over the tile) and how many points you get at the end turn from certain buildings (houses)

sky tale is an islanders -like, so I’ll be making a lot of comparisons to it (you might want to check the link for my review). this one’s on a grid with a bit more to it than plonking down random buildings where they give you the most points. sadly, neither lets you re-visit previous islands without copying files over, and this only keeps the one currently in progress, not all your previous attempts like islanders. I was hoping they wouldn’t copy this aspect as well…
