Academia : School Simulator
I am a huge fan of Rimworld, I really enjoyed Prison Architect and plus, I’m a teacher. So I was pretty excited about this game.
I’m giving it a hesitant thumbs up on the premise that it will deliver on its promises as it progresses through EA. It’s very bare bones at the moment but I’m hopeful that it will live up to its potential as its exactly the kind of game that I would love if it were much, much bigger.
As a teacher, I do have some feedback on the academic side of things for the developers:

TL;DR
It’s fine, but not worth $20 because it has very little replay value.
Overview
Academia: School Simulator is a game. It’s challenging to call it a good game, but it certainly isn’t a bad one. I originally purchased this game after seeing it on youtube and being interesting in a school sandbox game, in which I could do a variety of things from build the best school, to making a living hellscape. Academia: School Simulator, did not meet those expectations.
Story
I don’t truly demand story in every game I play, but I feel like this could use a little… anything? I dunno even just a: Gramps left me his inheritance and I was told to spend it on his dying wish: building a school. Whatever, moving on.

Andromeda: Rebirth of Humanity
this game has potential but in its current state its basically unplayable on an end game scale. massive game breaking bugs are a regular thing. there are no in game moderators what so ever so aside from automated suspensions for too many accounts there is virtually no check on the toxic behavior of the player base. pvp is drastically slanted to the defender and taking over a full system for a single person can take weeks and the defender can just instantly populate other planets. players can run full pvp fleets from a protected set of starter systems so there is no way to really cripple your opponents and the end game combat is lacking in any sort of diversity. maybe in a decade it will be playable but after over a thousand hours playing this game i must say that i am truly disappoint.

This is like some 4x meets a kind of dwarf fortress in outer space.
While the game shows a lot of promise the wildly unpredictable nature of the interface and random bugs will have you scratching your nuts off. A convoluted, ad-hoc asymmetrical click fest to do simple tasks, a distinct lack of basic search facilities or even fundamental next/prev selection, walls of worthless text thrown up in modal dialogs, it is arcane, yet strangely addictive.
If you are a diehard basement dwelling mutant grognard with nothing better to do than lament the fact that the Dwarves of Dwarf Fortress never made spaceships, then I highly recommend this game for you, provided you have some kind of obsessive compulsive disorder or like sitting on sharp nails and can’t be bothered getting up off it.

Prison Architect
Used to love this game, but the amount of gamebreaking bugs has ruined it. Prisoners just get stuck and starve to death, dead bodies wont get taken away, prisoners just get handcuffed and stay in place until they die. Its a mess. So sad..

Since Paradox took over, there have been bugs introduced from paradox’s first patch that are still in the game today. Paradox simply won’t fix the bugs and evidently just doesn’t care enough about the game (the dev team might but they clearly don’t get the time to fix issues). Some the issues are very annoying (such as gardeners don’t tidy up the yards so nature just takes over your prison, an issue reported March 15th and still here on Nov 25th).
Just avoid it or pirate it, they don’t deserve your support unfortunately.

Inclement
How did I not review this game? Basically… for me… its a low tech city builder. Well, city is the wrong word. You have limited space, limited income, so you better plan accordingly. While the game isn’t severely complex it does take serious though into making the best decisions you can.
The game is worth the price and is best enjoyed with the tv or youtube going on in the background. I chose seinfeld.

Graphics: 7/10 (Good) | Gameplay: 7/10 (Good) | Music: 7/10 (Good)
Total: 7/10 (Good)
Its worth every cent of its price.
Details
Inclement is a very addicting little farm management game with its very special style. Its graphics and especially its font take getting used to and the controls and menues are a bit fiddly, but after a few minutes of gameplay it is quiet fun. Its a great game to play while doing something else – not requiring your full attention. For the most part you are waiting for resources to be gathered in order to upgrade your farm so you can gather more resources. Still its a lot of fun to see your farm grow and to progress through the different aspects of the game.

Scramble
–Overall 8/10–
-Graphics: 6/10: Some parts of the map has icon issues and map looks oddly similar but overall OK UI design and little complexity makes the game more clear to understand
-Gameplay: 7/10: more than enough for a indie developer tycoon/colonisation game.
-Sounds: 10/10: i love the music that plays on the background.Other sounds are great
First of all, this is an indie game even tho it has potential in it you can see by the lack of some aspect; that potential never been used to its maximum. I considered this fact while reviewing keep in mind.
