I played for a few hours and it seemed like a fantastic game with a lot of potential. A simple and addictive game. Of course, I see that there are several errors, such as that no more pandas arrive to my city and the game remains constant. Another example is when I load my game, there are buildings that I eliminated and they appear on top of others that I had already placed. Despite this, I loved the game and would like to see more updates to fix the bugs and also add more content. Sereusly, I WANT MORE UPDATES, PLEASE!!!

Fishermen’s Haven
Life on a remote island is not as easy as it seems. In Fishermen’s Haven, you have to take care of your people - make sure they have enough to eat, grow and harvest crops, fish using various techniques, or forage for food in the jungle. Remember that the tropical climate is unpredictable - be ready to face nature and tame the elements.
Manage resources, as you will need them to expand your village. Building new houses, tools or boats requires many materials that are scarce on the secluded isle. Be smart and take advantage of trade with foreign merchants who visit your village and sell products that can be crucial for the survival of your people.

LOGistICAL 3
I simply can’t recommend it because of its really bad UI/UX design, the enormous amounts of bugs and almost complete lack of documentation.

I’ve been playing LOGistICAL on and off for almost two years now. This entry is another really fun one. The series has come a long way since the first entries, which are all still very enjoyable. I recommend you try them all.

hexurb
definitely worth the price. Although it looks very similar to Dorfromantik on the surface, it’s actually pretty different for the most part. The art style is unique, and I really like the alternate color schemes feature, although most of the other color schemes look more or less the same, just with the contrast tweaked a bit. There’s still some important features missing like saving the game, and the lack of explanation on what each button on the main menu does is somewhat confusing.
Overall it’s like a more relaxed version of Dorfromantik with a really cool art style. Still a little rough around the edges at the time of writing this, but for one person it’s really impressive.

I really like tile games but this one disappointed me.
Apart from creative mode which doesn’t interest me at all, you have following game modes:
-
normal
-
hard
-
points target
I did the last one for the achievement. The first time I played I had to reach 9000 points. I had to quit the game and wanted to continue today. So, no… My progress was not saved. I had to start a new game.
Luckily, I had to only get 4000 or so today because this game is boring as hell. I haven’t tried hard mode and probably won’t but normal mode is way too easy. I don’t know if rotating matters, with these kind of colors I didn’t really wanted to even pay attention to it.

Capital Simulator
Eine Geschäftswelt auf dem Karoraster. Mehr Idle-Game als Simulator.
Grafik
Grafisch kann man hier nicht von einem Highlight sprechen, unsere Geschäfte sind Piktogramme auf einem einfarbigen Hintergrund. Generell steht hier eindeutig Funktion über Form und die Grafik und Farben, welche uns hier zur Verfügung gestellt werden sind einzig und allein da, um die Geschäftsbereiche und Produkte voneinander abzugrenzen.
Gameplay
Das Gameplay ist relativ simpel gehalten: Wir beginnen mit einer Grundressource und wollen diese am Ende zu Geld machen. Anfangs fördern wir sie einfach und verkaufen sie am Ende in einem Laden. Doch um mehr Profit zu erlangen und unser Unternehmen weiter auszubauen machen wir diese Kette einfach immer komplexer mit Fabriken, welche unser Produkt veredeln oder weiterverarbeiten. Hier können wir recht komplexe Bauteile wie Computerchips fertigen, für die viele verschiedene Grundressourcen und Arbeitsschritte notwendig sind.

I actually really enjoy this game. It takes some time to understand wtf is going on, but its a game thats simplistic once you understand the rules. I wish there was more polish and there are a lot of typos, but I do hope the devolper makes things a lot like this in the future

Railroad Ink Challenge
This is my first review, and I have added this up front as I fear I have rambled.
I have only played under 20 games, I have mixed feelings about this version. I have played expansions on Board Game Arena, and I am still trying to sort out what I think advantages and disadvantages are verses what is just different.
Pros:
-
I like the buildings aspect of the expansion and their functions.
-
There are a set of goals to meet to provide additional scoring, I have not figured out how to master these.

Addictive, puzzle-like play. This is a good implementation of a good tabletop game (and in fact may be better than the original game, where it was always somewhat problematic to scribe the complex network designs readably).
Yes, there is a BGA version, but this app allows for offline play, supports solo play, and includes the Challenge tokens and special locations on the board, each of which adds a level of beneficial complexity needed for the original game, which was a little too simple.
Hoping they get the supplements out, starting with the original blue/red sets, but it’s already quite good. That’s just improve the replayability.

SUBARACITY
I was always interested in this game when I saw it on the 3DS a long time ago but never went and bought it. It was lost in my memory until I saw it a few months back on sale and here I am reviewing it.
Subracity (I prefer the original, punny Japanese title of “Subarashi”) is a puzzle game that mashes match-3 and Tetris gameplay together into something that feels brand new. It’s harder than match-3 but easier than Tetris, I would say. By clicking on blocks with the same colour in the same vicinity, they stack into bigger buildings that can be combined with others to maximize your points. You have to be careful of running out of matchable blocks, because destroying blocks costs Mayor Points and you have a very limited supply of them. It’s easy-to-learn, hard-to-master game play as getting to the higher scores and cheevos takes practice and strategy.

Fun for what it is, but very limited. So limited, in fact, that I already wrote a guide which I expect to need no upgrading, based on less than two hours of play.
The core of the game is falling blocks of four types (three in casual play) which are defined by the type of base. Each has something on it, a person, a tree, or a building, and as they merge they level up to level nine.
At level ten they all change from their original type to a white base, and can only merge with (any) other ten. Clusters of ten can merge into higher numbers, but those are locked, creating a definite end to the game eventually. (NOTE: I attempted selling them to open up the map, but you lose the points for the building, so that’s not a viable strategy.)

City of Atlantis
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1273100/Builders_of_Greece/
City of Atlantis is an isometric city-building survival game set in the world of the mythical Land of Atlantis. According to legend, the city far surpassed other nations in terms of scientific, military, and economic advancement. One day, however, it vanished from the face of the Earth. Now, after centuries, it re-emerges from the ocean depths.
City management is key. Plan each expansion in such a way that it ensures maximum efficiency of production chains and transportation. Workaround non-workable areas and utilize gathered knowledge to constantly progress and improve. A well-designed city will significantly improve its economic efficiency, greatly increasing your income. Be cautious though! Bad decisions and neglecting certain aspects of city life can result in the tragic death of an entire society.
Atlantis must not fall. Defend your city from tsunamis by building huge water breakers and reinforcing the outer layers. Build defensive structures to fend off armies of ancient warriors from Greece and Egypt. Control the spread of deadly diseases.
The life of the keepers of Atlantis is priceless. Make sure that their work is not interrupted and they are protected from harm. Keep providing them with the necessary tools and create safe working conditions. Citizens are very difficult to replace as their education and experience don’t come cheap. Each will represent a faculty such as military, education, or health. They might excel in many areas such as agriculture, hygiene, architecture, technology, militarism, medicine, politics, commerce, philosophy, or art.
The city of Atlantis has a mission. It must discover and preserve the knowledge of the world. Train and equip heroes who will travel across the land and gather knowledge about the culture, history, law, art, and science. Make sure that you send the right people for the job and ensure that they have the best possible equipment at their disposal.
Laruaville 11 Match 3 Puzzle
This is a great Match 3 game. The story is better than most Match 3 games.
It’s every bit as good as Laruaville 7 and Cursed House, all by the same company. The mechanics are very similar with a few new additions.
The whole point of each Match 3 level is to figure out what to do. There is a hint system if you need help, and it’s good. Remove all of the gold coins, and the level ends. Interspersed between Match 3 boards are mini-games like Rush Hour, Spot the Difference, Hidden Object, Mahjong, etc. You can choose Relaxed, Timed, or Limited Moves. I prefer limited moves as it’s more like a puzzle.

A good game with just enough difficulty to make you think. If you’re familiar with their “Cursed House” series this is similar. I enjoy playing them all.
