Niffelheim
Niffelheim Review
Niffelheim offers you a different but very addictive adventure, and that is not all!
Some key points that this game offers:
-
Stunning visuals and animations.
-
In depth crafting system.
-
A little bit of everything, some RPG, some Strategy, some Mining and a whole lot more.
-
Indie Gem 5/5
-
Very addictive play.
-
Co-op and Multiplayer options available.
Gameplay & Controls:
The game has full controller support. However, if you prefer to stick to the trusty keyboard and mouse, fret not the game plays beautifully with either. The mouse can be used to complete a whole bunch of actions, which can get confusing or just limit the effects. By effects I mean, we get to hunt, forage, chop trees and mine, there are buttons for each of these actions. You do have the options to remap keys to your liking.

WHAT THIS GAME ISN’T: a regular action 2D “hack and slash” game.
-
WHAT THIS GAME IS: a resource gathering & crafting survival game. (gather, hunt, eat, mine & craft to further kill bosses and defend your self from hordes)
The violence in the game is secondary, is a very chill game with its dangers enough to make it very fun!. It is very addictive due its rewardness .
However tha combat system isn’t that obvious. (You have to manually block and hit; thankfully you can play with a controller which I found funner. The combat is simple and fun enough for the experience it offers. I combat is so much easier and fast with controller)

Ephesus
I think at the current stage of the game hunger and thirst consumption should be less. Starting money may be higher. So players who are new to survival games can spend more time in the game. Overall the game is really nice and the there is a high potential for improvement. You get to examine a historical Roman city very closely. We can consider that game costs cheaper if you compare it with its kind I want to keep following the state of the game and knowing its in early I access I want to give it a chance. Because with the updates it could become so much better anytime. I don’t want to miss it

Experiencing the nature, Roman’s ordinary life, amazing architectures is amazing! Although it’s still on EA on Steam, I think this game already offers a good amount of fun.
Survival and in-game elements are made well done. Exploring the world is not boring and graphics are above the average and this is important for EA game to me.
Long story short, Ephesus is a game where you can find lot’s of potential to grow. The game play is good, the graphics are good, survival mechanics are intact and has an amazing city structure. Definitely worth to buy!

How to Survive
More or less detailed survival simulator + zombie grinder. Basically, survival part always puts you into some time limit, whether you have to find a place to sleep, or find food or water. But if you are careful and collect/use things around you in the right way, you’ll deal with that part easily. Then comes zombie grinder part - you have to autoaim with melee or self-made firearms, trying either to QTE or headshot every zombie you meet. Sounds simple, but it can actually be a lot of fun.
So, to pros:

-Quick Review-
Atratzu’s Rules: Chapter 1, this game is excellent.
How to Survive is a zombie-survival game developed by EKO Software and released October 2013.
-Detailed breakdown review-
Story: As with any “zombie apocalypse story” there’s only so much you can deviate from the status quo. You wake up after a shipwreck, find you’re on an island with zombies, need to go do a number of fetch quests while all the wimps hide and you bring the carnage!
Gameplay: This is where the game impressed me, but before I jump the gun and explain what I like… the controls are very basic, use mouse buttons to aim and fire/swing, ASDW to move, the game is played from the third person fixed above view camera.

Raft
A couple years ago, I had a friend who was interested in playing this in co-op, so I bought my own copy in advance.
Our plans fell through, but I still ended up putting hundreds of solo hours into this game.
Give this game a try if you:
+like survival/craft (Bonus points if you like building expensive, expansive storage units for your 1500 stacks of wood.)
+prefer more sandbox-y game play (There is a story, but it doesn’t railroad too much.)
+hate seagulls (You’ll be killing plenty of them.)

TLDR: Don’t buy this game yet if you prefer fast-paced development, want a ‘complete’ experience, or in any way, shape, or form find bugs to be unacceptable in your gameplay. You’ve been given a fair warning and if you buy anyway, don’t say you weren’t informed.
Raft.
This is THE game I go to when I want to just relax, zone out, and enjoy a game without feeling any pressure or anxiety in any way. Between the pacing, the graphical design, and the music, the feel of this entry is very Zen. It’s almost akin to a sort of cognitive therapy in it’s own right.

Camping Simulator: The Squad
I’ve only played the Classic Forest so far and content wasn’t that bad, but in it’s current build it is short on content. But hell, that $5 early access experience met my minimal needs for that price. Now, will the Dev’s stay on top of the development of the game or will they just take what monies they get and run, we’ll see., Took a bit to figure out how all of the cooking stuff worked but towards the end of the content I figured out the Mocha Pot was pretty OP, just add wood to the fire to extend it’s cook time. It was only the Chopped Wood I couldn’t figure out a usage for. Deciding on your load out for the backpack at the start is an nice concept for a survival game but once you play it a few times you learn whats not needed in the load out as the game will provide those items for you as loot found in the game. Overall I’ll give it a 6 out of 10 at this time in it’s current development state.

Pretty fun game when in good company! While the content is still quite bare-bones and the game play is not the most complex, it definitely scratches the itch of being able to spend time with your pals in a relaxed manner on an online server. It is what it is and it does it well- a camping simulator with the squad! Would recommend this to individuals who just want to have a chill game session with their gang and catch up with each other over chat; i would say playing over discord is a fun must.
Game time right now is about 2 hours or so while following the tutorial (Having the ability to turn this off and free range the world would be a nice addition) but I am sure the Devs have more coming and I am really excited about what else they have in store for us.

Grounded
Put in more time than I’d like to admit as you can see above. I got a bit obsessive with the building which can be very tedious. But still, after playing this game earlier on when it was first released I fell in love with it. I’ts been a while since I’ve played, but without a doubt once the game is officially released with tons more content I’ll be back to put another few hundred hours into it.
– Real player with 387.3 hrs in game
This game is an extremely immersive for a sandbox survival.
It’s like being in Honey I shrunk the kids but looks better.
Sound effects are on point, the chase/battle music is intense.
Night time is very dark until the moon comes out.
For a kid friendly looking game, it has a lot of fear induced adrenaline moments.
Great graphics, solid building interface for early access.
Game physics and atmosphere are impressive.
Fun game to play, I highly recommend it.

The Frost Rebirth
so i like survival games but the spawn rate of enemies is way to fast. game needs alot of work are we just done getting updates?
– Real player with 5.7 hrs in game
I i was excited to start this game since i missed survival games like this but, there is a big but.
graphics are set to max but looks like a dog took a shit on the game when it was made (i knop its early access but come on)
when i pick up things, they just vannish out of thin air, i am glitching through walls and rocks even have falled through the map a a fair amount of time. i am tired of having hopes for a game even for an early access and get let down. i dont expect much but then again let down. im not going to play this game again before the full version is out. as my experiences with early access games either get forgotten or takes a long long time to get ready for full release. you have a good thing going just put more time and effort to the game and its going to be a realy good game hopefully. i am not going to recomend this game yet until the games gets a few updates and is handeling better than it is know.
