Steamulator 2019
Disclosure: I’m friends with one of the conceptualizers of the game.
Enjoyable game for the price. Simplistic in nature but a generally addictive nature will make players want to keep coming back to the game. The game has you running your own Steam storefront where you have to monitor your stats to assure they aren’t too high or too low, otherwise its game over.
The game suffers from some bugs such as no matter what the event is, every time you swipe right on a card, your game count will increase by 1, even if the choice doesn’t involve publishing a game to Steam and the confusing stat adjustments made in correspondence with your decisions (how does accepting games have the same positive influence on developers as when you deny them?)

Well I originally wrote a long rant about why I hate these devs after they’re first success that was half-decent, but then I realized I would probably get deleted for it, so here’s my attempt at a reasonable and constructive review for this game.
Don’t buy it, Reigns is better. Long story short, it just seems like a cash grab to me, as was their last game after the initial lootbox simulator success that was alright but probably not worth the cost. It’s a half baked concept they put a price on to cash in on. Or perhaps an attempt at a game inspired by games like reign that they gave up on either out of boredom or inability to manage to work out kinks and bugs. I would suggest Game Dev Tycoon or other similar rip offs if you’re looking for the steam-esque simulators. I have a degree in computer game development that I haven’t used in 3 years because I wasn’t a fan of it, so I have a basic understanding of how to make a game. If I bothered to do research I could probably make this myself for free. Anyway, not worth a look if you ask me, if you’re looking for anything from these guys, the only good thing is I can’t believe it’s not Gambling, the first one, not the second.

Into Oblivion
I’m only a few hours into this game, but I imagine that I will play it quite few more. It’s fun and relaxing, the humor is short-lived, however, it’s a challenge going for the achievements, if that’s your thing. Anyone who liked Oh Sir! The Insult Simulator should like this as much. The tutorial is helpful, but I don’t think it covers the utility in using recipe book; it took me a few hours in to realize that the possible drinks you can make with the ingredients you are dealt will be highlighted in the book. As you play the game, you’ll quickly see how that is important, but this isn’t a guide, just a review and I’ll say this is a little gem. You can’t get much more bang for your buck or drink for your drunk. Bottoms up!

Trial of the Gods: Siralim CCG
Updated, the original post starts on the 2)
- Played this for over 50h in total and the Dev made many additions to make the game even better, if you were in doubt before, now it’s a nice moment to buy this game. The new mechanics blend in to the game and with the SIRALIM universe even more. congratulations, very, very solid game,
2)Played it so far, very interesting
My personal liking is for quick battles which are present. Strategy comes in knowing your opponent and be able to counter it. Not only you need to abuse their weaknesses, you gotta cover your own.

Faerie Solitaire Dire
Original, positive review, left unedited:
I absolutely LOVED the previous Faerie Solitaire games (having played them several times through and would still go back for more) so this game was an immediate purchase! The game is in Early Access.. with not all of the story/items/etc available as of yet.. but that hasn’t dulled the enjoyment of it at all! I’ve played what is available from beginning-to-end almost a dozen times as of typing this. It’s such an enjoyable, not your standard “run of the mill” solitaire game. I’ve browsed through the forums on here for the game, and the developer is very active there should any problems arise (as well as taking suggestions during the games development). I look forward to the rest of the story being added, and of course being able to collect/hatch all the adorable pets as well! I highly recommend picking up this game to add to your collection! :)

This is a great solitaire game! They have some tricks up their sleeves to prevent us from winning such as cards that are covered by dirt and slowly appear when we make matches until the dirt is all gone and the card is usable. In later levels they have the same thing but if you don’t match it when it’s usable then the dirt reappears for every move you make that’s not a match, like clicking through the card deck. So it’s difficult to clear that card because you have to have other cards that can use it and at the right time. Another thing is a card that is blank but with a number that counts down every time we make a match until it gets to zero and flips over and is usable. Then there’s a stack a cards covered by a strange colored backing and the way to clear it is to uncover another strange glowing card back and click on it to clear the other one. For help, occasionally you get some wild cards that can be used and then select any card on the tableau to clear it. Wild Cards are very useful when you run through the entire deck and still have a card or two to clear.

Good puzzle: Castles
Great puzzle game, with cool art!

I usually don’t review a game until after I complete it, but if you love puzzles this is a lovely little game. The overall effect is like those delicate prints on glass from long ago. Well worth the sales price of .49 cents USD. Oh, pleasant music to boot.

Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmZKPozT1Hk
I’m sorry to say that this game is very unimpressive, regardless it being free. The instructions are on the steam page if you wish to find out how to play, therefore it jumps you right into the game. There is sooooo much wasted empty space. The matching eggs and so forth can easily be put into a simple smaller grid. The description describes like you can compete against someone, but If you can, I have no idea.

Mark Out! The Wrestling Card Game
I love this game and i see the potential
Especially combining card is really fun and i want to be able to combine two combined cards with eachother and just go crazy with it. I like all the references to other companies the naming of moves are great like the one horn demon. And praise no microtransactions
But and this is something that needs to be sorted you can basically take about 2 moves have a 2 energy lead, reverse literally everything and then just win from either the opponent not having any cards left or they keep hurting them selves and then you use one of your cards to put them out of their misery.

If you’ve played RAW Deal, With Authority or Synamic D this is a game you want to check out.
It’s still in Early Access, but the foundations are already here for something awesome . A wrestling collectable card game, much like the games mentioned above where you build your best desk of cards to challenge the AI or PVP for EXP to level up and VC (No micro-transactions).
VC earnt from winning matches is then spent on opening packs of cards to acquire new moves to add to your collection.
There is also a create a wrestler option where you can watch your CAW perform the cards moves during gameplay and a create a card and combine option, where you can cook up any move you wish.

Love n Dream: Virtual Happiness
I went from the first game of the Developers, to this one. Always hopeful that the Developers will improve and make better content. Luckily, it happened that way! I think this game is a great improvement to the first one. It has more content, more animation scenes and more to do. I flipped through the pictures (up above) and I think the game was already updated, so things don’t really look like that. For example: the main character doesn’t have brown hair, but has red hair.
The game is still ongoing in updates… since there are areas in the game that say “Coming Soon” and I think there will be more items? But I can’t be sure.

2020-Dec: I wanted to see how the game enacted the tile mechanic, but ultimately this game has several key problems and broken promises. I’m particularly bitter that there is “coming soon” content even though the game isn’t labeled as “Early Access”.
[PROS]
-
I like the tile movement mechanic and it is well-balanced for LVL1-LVL3.
-
The powers the girls bestow offer a nice diversity.
[CONS]
- Chief of the cons is the fact that I got to level five on two women and neither of them got naked at all. In fact, I saw zero nudity and zero sexual content.
