The Glade
Some would say, another game of survival in a sea of others. And that is true, with just one small addition: this game is made by one man with a lot of ideas. And he listens to every suggestion and advice regarding the game. The game itself is beautiful, it works stably even though it is in early access. New things are added almost every day and in accordance with the players' suggestions. The island you are exploring is huge and beautiful, and construction is allowed wherever you can think of. There are a lot of animals that you will use as food or as a source of skin, which will be used in crafting. There are also metals that you will dig up and use when you need them. Also, the island is full of surprises that you must discover. As far as I’m concerned, this is more than enough to start an exciting and interesting game, which is still in development. It’s definitely worth giving her a chance. Recommendation!

So far i like it. The graphics are pretty good. In some ways better then the Val_game. I like the color palette. The sound is good too. The A.I needs work. Animals are pretty dumb. But it’s a work in progress. Combat and work tool operation is pretty good. Animation might need a little work. But i played 1000’s of hours on the Sky_game, so i do not think it’s that bad. But i do like how it starts off more easy going. You do not get body slammed at the start. Overall i really like it.

Potion Craft: Alchemist Simulator
This was a wonderful game. It’s calming, interesting, and has a beautiful medieval artstyle and OST. You play as an alchemist in a medieval village, brewing potions to help the citizens and gaining wealth and popularity. The main portion of this game is the potion crafting. (As you can imagine). The process is entirely unique as far as I know, navigating an “alchemy map” where different ingredients move you in different directions, and certain regions of the map allow you to brew an effect into the potion.

This game is great and I love it. You can really get into the world and feel like you’re the alchemist who owns the shop. The sound effects are great, the work tasks are great, it gives you a lot of free control over creativity of potions. It’s a great concept.
Keep in mind that it’s early access when you buy this. After about 8 hours in (or however long it takes for you to reach the higher levels), it gets really repetetive and there’s nothing new to do. That’s my only problem with it - but again, it’s just because it’s early access.

Don’t Give Up: Not Ready to Die
“Don’t Give Up” has relatively simple mechanics, but they work very well within the game context.
The game raises existential and philosophical questions that make you ponder but without being too pretentious.
Even with a high challenge level, the game keeps you engaged and makes you want to go forward to see what happens next. Recommended!

This is an adorable game with a lot of bugs. I would recommend it to others under the guidance of prepare for things to suddenly not work for inexplicably no reason. I honestly love the story enjoyed the visuals and find the concept engaging.
But if you dislike mechanics blowing up be warned. At one point one of my inventory squares was inaccessible meaning that 10 mins into the game I could not craft items that required all the inventory squares. But I am a determined person and taking the name of the game as an instruction “I did not give up” and decided to push through playing until I had 10 mins left on the clock.

Nimbatus - The Space Drone Constructor
Nimbatus is a great game that ha sucked away my free time.
Tutorial:
The tutorial is not the best, it only tells you the bare minimum in its first section on how to build a mobile craft, and all the other tutorials are basically useless, the only usefull one for the ingame content is the logic section that teaches you how to build a basic ramming style sumo drone even thougb the objective is to create a drone to fly forwards with no context as for why you need to know what this could be used for. ALSO the in the harvesating tutorial the ore does not get harvested correctly, it shrinks into the center unlike chunks being ripped off of the ore in the acutal game.

This is tough to rate this as not recommended.
The main appeal of this game, for me, was concept of creating completely autonomous spacecraft. And at a glance, it does that very well. I was able to create several different ships that were able to go off alone and solve missions by themselves, and even a ‘factory mothership’ that would replicate a variety of subordinate drones that would do the dirty work for mom. It is pretty satisfying at first, almost like a simulation of 2D electronics with a unique environment to play with.

The Survivalists
This is a very good title for anyone looking to start or get someone started on survival games! It is also a great game for anyone looking for a low-stress survival/building game. I got my 70 year old Dad playing this and he loves it with over 187 hours logged so far and still counting (he took over the entire home island as his base).
So here are the good, the bad and the ugly of it
The Good: The monkey automation is fantastic at this stage though it does need some tweaking to perhaps assign single monkeys to a specific workstation IE: this monkey only crafts things at the Forge and ignores other work stations.

Island Escapists
The Survivalists, by the studio behind prison breakout game The Escapists, has your basic “explore and craft to escape the island” plot.
Hoo boy, is there a TON of crafting in this game. No raw resource that drops is of much use without modification, not even the fruit that you can eat right away.
Recipes come in three basic styles. Items crafted By Hand must have the items in your inventory. Items made at crafting stations or as blueprints set on the ground do not need you to have all the items in inventory at once. Instead, you can put just a few at a time until you have all you need. These latter two styles also require the use of a “multitool,” but it looks and sounds like a hammer, unless it’s stirring food.

Mr. Prepper: Prologue
The Meta:
This is a free prologue, as a feature-limited demo of the full game which expands upon the content that was made available in the demo from July. You have absolutely no reason not to try this.
I’ve played rather extensively through the beta testing, and can attest that the devs are incredibly responsive to the player community, both for bug fixing and implementing player-suggested improvements or modifications, and I fully expect that behavior to apply to the full game.
The game includes no microtransactions.

Originally, I thought the prologue would end in 30 days at most, but later I found out that I was still too young and naive. On the first day of the second month, I angrily ate all my food. I have many cans which used all the money I made to buy, and with lots of blueberry milkshakes and carrot soup. It’s ridiculous that I didn’t have diarrhea after eating it all! Ok, I have to quit the game in dismay!
Talk about the advantages and shortcomings of this game. This game is still very creative, painting style is good, it is said that the official version has more content. In terms of content, the game is undoubtedly a success. But the game also has some shortcomings:

The Escapists
I nearly didn’t get this game just because of the graphics, but I’m so glad I did in the end. Despite it’s simplistic RPG maker looking surface it’s actually a very deep game
In The Escapists you go from prison to prison attempting to escape which unlocks the next prison in succession. There are 6 prisons in total which vary in style and increase in difficulty
Gameplay involves a strict schedule of showing up for rollcall (a sort of headcount to make sure no one has escaped) followed by breakfasts, work routines, exercise period, shower period, an evening meal and an evening rollcall followed by returning to your cell for lights out, with usually 2 free periods available inbetween. Later prisons have an afternoon rollcall as well

Hey, i’ve had this game for about a month now, so i thought i would share my opinions and experiences with you. So when i first saw this game i was thinking “Oh wow this is kinda neat, i might get it” so i looked up some gameplay videos to see how good it would be, and i was blown away, now i reccomend you watch Lets Play’s and other gameplay videos if you get this because if you don’t, you won’t escape the first prison, there are so many things to keep in check and so many things to do, i just highly reccomend it, so now on to the review portion…
