And in addition there is even some educational content in the form of quizzes about the human body. Answering them correctly gains you rewards.

The Flame in the Flood
Short answer: This game, although not for everyone, is an indie darling. Although containing a clunky crafting system and becoming monotonous downriver, it boasts a great soundtrack with interesting characters and subtle lore accompanying smooth storybook style animation. Resource management is your friend, as you need to eat but you need to craft, and you only have so much inventory space.
Now, sit down for a long one.
Let’s start with the bad:
Many reviews of this game mention “difficult controls” and it’s understandable: What they’re talking about is the rafting mechanics down the river, controllable via the space button and either the WASD keys or the right mouse button. Rafting in this game can be hard, no ifs and or buts about it. Before the rudder upgrade to your raft (which I recommend rushing, for this exact reason) it can be nigh impossible to avoid hitting a rock or two in the early miles. You get better at this in time, but you’ll still space bar your way into the river bank occasionally.

Technical foibles can’t extinguish this game’s soul.
Summary:
The Flame in the Flood is a survival game that commits to its enticing concept and doesn’t try to do too much with it. You’re thrown straight into a focused survival experience that has you rafting your way through a world blanketed in biblical floods. Your only steady companions are your dog, your raft, the long water, and Chuck Ragan’s game defining soundtrack. Unfortunately some minor bugs regularly sully the immersion. With its stylistically limited scope, this game weighs in on the shorter end of the spectrum for the survival genre, but it is still a good value.

Castle Story
OK, so a while back I did a review on this game. I still said it was positive, but I basically said “It’s buggy but it’ll get better”. And now I feel is the time to re-review it.
Let me start off by saying this is one of the coolest and prettiest castle builders I’ve seen in a long while. It has a near perfect arrangement of blocks to suit all of your construction needs, yet it simultaniously keeps you materials as basic as possible. You can build with Stone, or Wood. There are a few other materials that can be used to make useful structures, but those are the two things your castle is really gonna be made of. Yet in that simplicity, you can make very cool-looking castles with ease. And what’s even cooler is that in the survival gamemodes, all of the castles you built for purpose and purpose alone still turn out looking amazing.

Game is worth 10USD. If that is what you’re paying I think it’s worth it. Unfortunately it isn’t 10USD.
The game lacks content and barely works, but it is quite fun for what there is. The devs have left it alone rather than milking it for DLC so they have my respect for that, but they fall short in most other categories.
My gripes:
1. Instead of optimising the AI, pathfinding, job finding etc. they made a limit of 15 units. There are videos of people playing with 130+ units and having no issues.

Maia
Been a year that I last wrote something about this game, and considering that the updates for the game come frequently, I think it’s time to update the review as well.
Last year I called it “playable”. This year I can actually call it entertaining. What’s most entertaining, at least for me, is that the colonists are actually very human. Allow me to explain.
In most games, you have people that feel more like worker drones. They will go from place to place, build, mine, craft, sleep, get hurt, go to the medic bay, build, mine, craft… The “people” here feel actually like people. And they don’t want to be treated like worker drones. They get stressed out if all they do is build and work.

The inspirations for this game are both obvious and subtle, influencing how it looks, feels and plays, or rather how you think you should be playing it.
It swings from a low pace base builder with an enormously detailed simulation behind every little thing you see and can interact with to a frantic struggle for survival as the dangers of Maia strike the unprepared mercilessly. Prepare to be unprepared and learn by failing.

Mercenary Kings: Reloaded Edition
‘You can’t be serious. Okay listen, this is a suicide mission. There are hundreds of enemies, we know nothing about the terrain and only have very limited suppli-…’ – ‘It’s okay, we’ll send in the KINGS, they can handle everything.’ Insert some dramatic music
‘Mercenary Kings‘ is an interesting recipe: You take a portion of ‘Mega Man‘, add some elements of ‚Monster Hunter‘ and spice it up with a pinch of ‘Metal Slug‘ or ‘Contra‘. This may sound like a very odd combination and the reviews are quite ambivalent about the qualities of the game but especially in co-op this game is a blast.

First Impressions
When I first saw the trailer, I thought of an earlier era of gaming. Many older games consisted of military members lugging around guns, dodging flashily colored bullets, and charging enemies. Over time the emphasis shifted from 2D games like this to 3D FPS. It’s nice seeing this style of game nowadays, and this is what caught my eye, in spite of a lackluster overall rating. Having put so much time into the game, I understand the mixed results better now, and hope to explain the ups and downs of this game.

Small World
I don’t own the boardgame of this yet but a couple of my friends and I spent several hours playing last night and well play many more in the future. A charming game that is much deeper than its whimsical appearance may suggest with a lot of replayability despite the (at least currently) singular map.
I would love to see more expansions for it, especially the modular map, to come to the PC version and more races and powers means more options and crazy combos. Some of these combinations were laugh out loud funny (flying ghouls, peace-loving barbarians, etc.) so even more of these would enhance the game immensely.

TL;DR: It’s broken
You don’t have 165 hours in this, all single player. Nobody does. Why would you?
So here’s a review from a person who is deep in this game.
The boardgame is amazing, this is it.
Until a month ago, it worked great. It had a few glitches (Leprechauns would get slowdown issues while fast forwarding through their gold collection, etc.) that weren’t game breaking. Maybe every twentieth hour there’d be a game-breaking non-reproduceable bug that you’d never see again.
Not anymore. After purchasing the Royal Bonus DLC, I had 6 drops tonight. Reloaded, dropped from the game again. No error message, nothing. There’s a race that when selected… the game just stopped. Twice for me, tonight. Crazy.
