Relaxing game that might remind some of you of an idle/clicker game. Still, it feels different because you will neither reach high numbers nor unlock a lot of things.
Even though, at the moment (13th of January, 2021), there is not a lot of content (20-25 hours needed to get all of the achievements, grinding required), it was enjoyable all along, mainly thanks to the cute aspect (music and graphics).
Do not hesitate to give it a try !

Travellers Rest
Hello!
I would like to say that this game is very fun to play. It’s still being developed but this game is very addictive. It actually helps calm me down.
The soundtracks, the vibes of the game are good. You can go at your own pace, do what you want with your Tavern and it’s very fun to play with friends!
I would 100% recommend this game to everyone!

Very fun little management game. I normally do not purchase Early Access games given that they tend to be pretty rough, but as this one stands (11/13/2021) I’ve put almost thirty hours into it without much hitch or problem. Highly recommend, love the art.

Craftlands Workshoppe
Been playing this off and on since early access started and I’m gobsmacked by the negative reviews by people with very few hours played.
There is a TON of content, yes it’s a bit grindy to start with until you understand the mechanics with workers but there really is a lot of game here for the price.
Orig review below:
This is a delightful shop management game full of interesting mechanics and strong progress goals pushing you to become A Master Of All Crafts.
At present in EA I haven’t encountered any game breaking bugs and it feels like its 75% towards being an excellent time sink.

First Impressions - It’s fun but rough around the edges.
Craftlands Workshoppe dabbles in a bit of everything from gathering, crafting, consumables, trade, management, a semi-automated worker system, etc. There are a fair number of systems and game mechanics but, many feel hollow or half-finished at this stage in development. With that said, the current state of the game does show promise.
-Gripes-
Not a whole lot is explained well and pacing really needs work to make progression flow better. Most of the crafting is progress bar/timer based while smithing features a horribly annoying minigame, which I found odd and out of place. I also think workers are overwhelming and introduced too early in the game, although, they are a time-saver as you progress and earn more cash. The big issue early on being they cost too much upfront to hire and in continual upkeep considering the starting profits. Lastly, gathering and crafting in general require an obscene amount of clicking which could be streamlined to prevent pointless time waste.

I love the board game, it is one of my favorite board games, and this is actually a pretty good implementation of the board game. Unfortunately this digital version is as buggy as can be for multiplayer, and seems to have gotten worse over time. I would not recommend you purchase this game if you want to play against any actual people. I am generally pretty understanding of little bugs and things, but this game has not seen any attention in years and these issues definitely existed then as well.

Do not buy this! I have yet to be able to play a game online because no matter who tries to set up the room to play (me, or any of my friends who I convinced to get this game), the room will either (a) not be created, or (b) be created, but not allow anyone to join the game, sometimes going into a near infinite look of “Are you sure you want to join this room?” dialogs.
When a room is created, it looks like it is corrupt. My user name is KDLadage; the room name when I create the room is “’s RoomKDLadage” – this would be nothing more than amusing were it not for the fact that none of my friends can join the room.

Bunny’s Maze
An interesting game, with simple gameplay that sometimes complicates, but requires little effort to find a solution.
With 3 different environments and each one with mechanics, this ends up breaking the monotony.
Low price with a few hours of fun, I like that!

The levels are poorly designed. The game is based around switches that alternate blocks. And the problem is that a lot of switch press sequences are forced. That is, you either have acces to only one next switch, or the other switches are very obviously pointless at current step. So most of the levels you spend more time holding down arrow keys than thinking.
Some of the levels (especially in ice world) are broken - you can ignore some of the switches and parts of the level.
There is no restart button too. But you’ll rarely need it.

The Lightbringer
Playing status: 100% achievements
Grindy Achievement(s): Yes (~1 achievement).
Optional Achievement(s): Yes (~41 achievements).
Difficult Achievement(s): No.
Intro
The Lightbringer is an action-adventure, precision platformer game where you can explore an area in the level to find collectibles and reach the exit. Each level allows you to explore a vast world filled with secrets.
Pros:
-
15 levels + 4 boss fights
-
Unique boss fights
-
A lot of hidden collectibles require you to look carefully
– Real player with 13.2 hrs in game
TLDR : 8/10 Great Classic Adventure experience that is fun to play!
The Lightbringer is a great experience that reminds me of classics like Spyro and Crash, as well as Legend of Zelda.
The levels, puzzles, and collectibles are more reminiscent of Spyro and Crash, where you can explore, discover, and collect at your own pace, just to get that full clear stamp of achievement. The baddies on the other hand nod more toward Legend of Zelda, needing you to understand a bit about how they work to navigate them. Boss fights are arena style big bads, and need some quick thinking to understand movesets, and identify ways to damage the enemy.

Monster Harvest
Should I recommend this game yes or no? I played about 50 hours of it.
But this game feels very early access. It is fine for the price.
Don’t expect too much though.
Here are my pros/cons.
Pros:
-Monster farming/fighting is integrated in the gameplay loop, unlike Stardew Valley where it feels more like an afterthought/removed from the actual gameplay.
-The world is more phantasy like. You don’t have your typical normal farmlife but instead you farm eyes and skulls. Especially the Dark season is very Halloween. Yes there are only 3 seasons: Dry, wet, and dark.

Hello,
I am quite conflicted about this game.
I really like the concept of Monster Harvest. It’s different from the usual. It’s like a mix between moonlighter (for the dungon part) but with planimals for fighters (a bit like pokemon) and harvest moon, stardew velley, peaceful days, etc… for the farming / townfolks part.
And that is a good idea. But there are a lot of itching little things.
Let’s start with the + :
Three seasons which are different from the usual is nice, 21 days instead of 28 or 30… Well, why not.

The game is fun for about 5 min. Good mechanics. The game can be better if they added different body types and a work shop. Just my 2 cents.
