Skid Cities
Did you ever miss the old simcity series? its complex-algorithm-excellence? its abstract yet satisfying gameloop? Its potential to create a million-city? So did you ever muse about a version of that set out in the future , but not the utopic green energy one per se, also a gritty, dystopic and challenging representation as we can find in the dozen of post-contemporary 80’s sci-fi movies? you know, stuff like Blade runner, total recall, ghost in the shell, .. etc? Neon lights and time-square-exponential… Meet Skid Cities!

This is a rather simple and non intensive city builder with a unique concept of building cities on top of cities or cities under cities if you do so choose to do so. When building up for the first time it can at first be difficult to maintain consistency with each of your floors (considering you need certain buildings in order to raise the cyberpunk system which determines how tall your buildings are), but eventually you will find a nice orderly design that is constant for your industrial, commercial, and residential needs that is consistency no matter how high you go or low. Money is almost never an issue which means you are quite flexible in what to experiment in the design of your city as you build. I should say there are some minor bugs but this is a very new game so that is to be expected. Overall I would recommend this game if you are starting to get into city building games or if you simply have a satisfaction for hiving a city.

Cliff Empire
It’s quite a decent game for $15. There is a lot of unlockable content in the mid to late game that the sheer scale of the world makes you think that you really got value for money. The game starts off slow but picks up the pace later so in the beginning expect to wait around a lot for your production to catch up with your construction needs.
At the start, you can get whatever you need from your great “supplier” in the sky as long as you have money but in the later part of the game, the “cheat” in production closes and you’ll start to need to produce everything by yourself. This slowly ramps up the difficulty. Expect to lose your first 3 or 4 games before you learn the mechanics of the game and it becomes easier, if you go in with preconceived notions of “how the game MUST work!!”, you are going to be in for a rough time. Remember to save a lot if you’re still learning if you don’t feel like restarting from the beginning often.

Wow. This game is my surprise packet of the last 5 years.
Bought game in very early access for about $8.00 - could see potential, but it needed work and content was limited. Thought it was a good concept and small amount of money well spent. Never expected what I got for that paltry $8.00.
After playing about an hour and moving on, I noticed that the game was constantly on the update list, so started taking notice of developer updates - man these guys, whoever they are, or whether they are “guys” at all, work very damn hard.

Industries of Titan
There are already a lot of excellent (constructive) reviews here already for the 21 June 2021 Steam release but I’ll add my 2 cents here to talk more about the side elements of the game and offer some advice for potential players who are still sitting on the fence.
What do you get when you combine the macro-management aspects of SimCity 2013, with FTL-like micro-management in factory management and combat, then slap on a UI that’s reminiscent of grand strategy games? You get the absolutely fascinating city builder that is Industries of Titan (IoT for short).

My first impression of the game:
The beginning is a bit confusing. You have different management levels:
1. Production
-
Collect raw materials (initially from ruins, later in mines)
-
Collect artifacts (also from ruins)
-
Produce fuel and electricity
-
manage garbage (a lot)
2. Citizens and workers
-
Buy and house citizens
-
Earn money from citizens watching advertisements
-
convert some citizens into 24/7 workers (who then stop watching ads)
3. Build on two different levels
- Inside buildings on a square grid (reminiscent of Tetris blocks :D )

Palladise Island(帕拉小島)
I just finished the game with 100% completion so I feel qualified enough to write this review.
Palladise Island is a simple idle/clicker game in which you collect and evolve many different creatures known as PA. The core gameplay is passively waiting for silver coins to upgrade your buildings to earn more silver coins and upgrade your intimacy bar (the PA’s level/XP Bar) to evolve and unlock more PAs. There is also a building that allows you a chance to randomly get rarer/more expensive items but you’ll probably upgrade this last. You can also click the PAs to earn intimacy faster, thus levelling up faster.

Sphere - Flying Cities
Ok, so let me preface this review by saying that I am only giving it a thumbs up because I want the game to succeed, and it looks like the devs are listening to feedback. For example, there was a patch on day 2 to address a complaint that most people had (not a bug fix, but a mechanic change). There is a foundation for what could be a really fun game, and a different take on the genre; at least I have yet to play anything exactly like it. As others have said, it does give off Frostpunk vibes, and I think it feels a little like Surviving Mars as well; both of which are games I really enjoy.

Updated 16/10
Ive left my original somewhat negative review below, but after a significant developer update today, thought id jump back in and my what a difference a few days makes. Almost all the original issues have been resolved making this a good fun solid game. Wonderful to see that a large amount of work appears to have gone into resolving the initial round of issues. I cant find any major issues at this point now, and have changed my review to recommend and now believe you can play and have fun for a considerable time. Minor issues to tweak dont affect much and Road map forward looks interesting indeed. Hats off to the developers on this one.

CyberGrid: Tower defense
the game has issues both core game-play and bugs, they are so strong i cannot recommend this game
they are
cons:
no tutorial
game feels like its in fast forward 2X
resource buildings die way to fast
towers die way to fast
home base dies to fast
size of structures are not present when building, making “cannot place that here” so annoying!
very small map
tower bullets we frozen mid-air when changing target
pros:
free
unique game
at its core its broken the only way to survive is to spam anything across the map without thought, because everything breaks in 1-2 seconds, placement does not matter, i survived to wave 24

Unlimited World 1
Unlimited World 1 is a game in which you can do anything you want! Fly to new planets, play the story mode, do racings with your friends or angainst a AI, cook, dance, roleplay, or just maybe try the sandbox mode in which you can destroy everything and craft everything many else!
Space Station Tycoon
After the Recent update of the Raiders and new riftgate. I decided to make a quick review on the understanding of the game… Times for events are as followed. Police scan once year Feb or March, Raiders will come every 5-7 years these you can’t bribe and will require more firepower to get rid of. Pirates can be bribe but can drop cash and items. Aliens will only attack for your Research points so spend wisely and each time you can spend.
Early game this game is a real grind. Hard mode w/ events on. Don’t build anything you can’t afford to loose. The bathing house is one of the highest profitable building 20,000 a month in revenue when full upgrade but cost 15,000 to get your hands on 1. Everytime i try to rush R&G sends a asteroid to destroy it. GAMEOVER. So piece of advice start small and grow small. 2 docks are find early game. Then focus on BILLBOARDS 1 cafe, ___then swap this for a bar. Then you get into research .

a fun, simple game. there is not much combat. and once you start going, you get going. a lot of reviews are complaining of mechanics that are really … not that complicated?
Income - your first priority should be to reduce upgrade costs. don’t build faster than you can afford. Even starting at 20,000, build 3 dock stations and let your money generate and as you can, buy upgrade materials and reduce upkeep costs for each building.
Research - start research with upgrade cost reduction and then move to increased research - you will not have any more problems once you max both of these out
