Animation Studio Manager
My friend made this game and gave me a copy to play prior to release, and I’ve really been enjoying it so far. I completed levels 1-8 on both easy and medium mode. The easy level had enough guiding to help me through the game without being overly hand-holding, and it’s been nice to switch to the medium level for more of a challenge. The game moves at a nice pace but there is a pause button in case you need to stop and evaluate your next steps, which I appreciate because it keeps the game from becoming overly frustrating. I started out playing to give the creator some feedback from the perspective of someone who loves to game but doesn’t recognize herself as a hardcore gamer. Despite this, I have definitely found myself playing this game simply because I enjoy it and it helps focus my mind after a hard day of work. I can’t wait to see the next levels! I would definitely recommend this game and I will continue to enjoy it :)

I’m hooked. I’m truly feeling the excitement and stress that a real animation studio manager would feel. It has cool mini games, an annoying producer, a sarcastic mother and a myriad of production and corporate employees. It’s a fun challenge as new demands appear at every level, like keeping employees happy making webisodes, episodes, and films. Try doing that while making enough money not to go bankrupt. Loved choosing the titles and genres of my TV seasons and watching them go viral. It was also exciting when one of my seasons got renewed. Next level, I get to compete for awards. Can’t wait.

Elven Magic: The Witch, The Elf & The Fairy
This story is to be implemented in time and it is based on a book called Elven Magic by Daniel Chay.

The story continues into another world and there are many twists and turns for Fae the Elven Girl and the Witch named Ellen that would have Fae be her apprentice to uncover. The imperial guard of the nearby capital city may prove difficult to avoid. It details the rise of a Wyvern Wraith and the plight of a Witch Wraith.”

The Gorcs' Forge
A very cute and fun management game. At the beginning you can get stuck but once you learn the basics of the game it turns really fun. I also love the soundtrack and the story. Recommended!

I spent a while playing the game and I love the gameplay!
I know is still in Early Acess, but the mechanics are so fluid and functional. It’s a strategy game with a mix of casual management style. The Gorcs Forge needs a couple of improvements and bug fixes, but is doing fine for now.
It took me about an hour to finish the game and I have to say… More PLEASE!
I could play it for hours! =D

The Rule of Land: Pioneers
it’s aight, pretty addictive.
needs a light polish, some spelling checking
on screen text gets a bit annoying after some time
“Press [esc] to cancel this operation”
“No Bullets”
I hate having to press M1 for every action,
Mining 40 rock is tedious.
loses difficulty fast.
I gets very boring after all other survivors are dead.
Getting to 200 days is mostly a chore
edit:

I just found the “continues mining” option. the game is much better now.

This ended up being a lot more fun than I figured.
I was worried that having the game play limited to just a few locations would make it repetitive but it actually wasn’t.
The only thing I disliked was that the HUD wasn’t explained very well but it is a brand new game so take it with a grain of salt.
Overall I found it to be a medium paced game that was thoroughly enjoyable. I look forward to watching it develop more over time.

The Amazing American Circus
Target Audience: Those Willing to Take the Lows With The Highs in Card RPGs
Summary:
This is a recommendation in essence, but for a specific subset of people.
I’m going to be straight up from the get go here: The Amazing American Circus is one of those games that I want to love up and down, but ended up being the biggest thorn in my side due to what happened during the review period. To say that I faced some of the worst bugs: specifically saved game bugs, in my review career would have been an understatement: I had 8 separate runs break wildly in that period where I could not continue to make progress. While those bugs seem to be fixed now, I have a form of PTSD at this point. Every time I play, I’m waiting for the game to break again. Hell, even the video I made had a major bug in it. There’s a reason I have around 40+ hours of gameplay without actually beating the game, and to say it hung over the experience would be an understatement to say the least.

This is not a Slay to Spire, this is not a Monster Train. The Amazing American Circus is not a roguelike-roguelite card game, it is more like a card game built around a campaign, with some management sim built around it, in which you need to cover the costs, upgrades etc from the incomes you get during the shows.
If you more curious about the game, and want to check a short, ~20mins long video in which I showing what content you could expect from the game with one circus show (card battle) included, then here is mine:

The game is great, definitely worth the buy. I love the game-play, and the overall freedom that the game offers without overwhelming me. There is a lot of in-game content and new things I can explore with each time playing, so it seems like ill never get bored of it. I am super excited to see where the game goes as it continues development.

Forest Ranger Simulator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1362560/Fire_Commander/
Forests are flooded with rubbish! Let’s have a look at the valley you live in - entirely covered with them…
It’s a high time you finally hunker down, grab a bin liner and lets your area challenge you - explore it and admire how the view is changing when you take care of it.
You can find rubbish in the forest, by the river or near your favorite lake. You can even fish garbage up from the water.
Hey, it’s great you are excited, but pay attention to the constraints of your body - if you collect too much, you may have a hard time carrying it back home. So, firstly plan it wisely and then, why don’t you buy a car?
How does it feel to be the mane of a change? Go further, be eco and segregate the rubbish you gathered. Paper, plastic, glass - each segregated rubbish is extra money you can make!
Sometimes you can find a real treasure in the rubbish - a really rare and valuable object.
What to do with them? One option is to sell it on the market and instead buy new tools, chic furniture for your place or even, buy your own car to scale up your business!
No worries, if you really like something you found, simply keep it and use it to decorate your house. It’s all up to you!
Great you decided to take care of your valley, but by now you probably know that it’s not enough to take care of your area. Build bee yards in the forest, buy and build birdhouses and repair hives. Don’t forget to take car elf animals and remove animal traps, make sure you prevent fire and many more.
Hero Park
Edit Weeks later, still broken steam achievements. No real improvements.
It’s okay for 8 bucks. But it gave me tendonitis in about 2 days and the Steam achievements don’t seem to be triggering? I have a level 10 Temple and a Rank 2 statue. Is there something else I need to do to get them to go off? Nothing in the Wiki about it, no google search will answer the question. Pretty pointless game if you can’t get the achievements to go off.
Also sometimes the number of heroes goes negative. -3/20 for example. Not sure how this effects anything or if it’s just a UI bug. Might be exploitable to hire heroes without paying for them till you are full up sometimes.

I love it, though it is far less ‘idle’ than I thought, but I think that’s beginning game, not later game? Since you can automate making the items needed for the shops as you level the shops.
I find the game very enjoyable! I like lots of moving parts and re-stocking shops, and I love the monsters! I’m having a lot of fun :D
EDITED FROM NEGATIVE REVIEW: Responsive developer fixed the game-breaking problem. THANKS!
