Penko Park

Penko Park

Want to go on a weird safari? well then heres a game for you!

Penko park is an exploration game in the vein of Pokemon snap, you sit in a cart and are driven on a tour of the abandoned Penko wildlife park, as you travel through the park you take snapshots of the various animals that inhabit the place, in many ways its like a rail shooter.

Of course theres more to it that simply riding passively through the park, there are numerous collectables to find and alternate paths to open up. And simply finding the various animals isn’t all there is either most will have multiple poses to collect so you have to figure out how to get them in addition to just finding the animal, for the most part this is fairly easy as the interactions involve only the target animal itself, but there are a few situations where things get complex (like using one creature to scare another) its just a shame that there aren’t more of these in the game (like scaring away a predator causing a new creature to come out or something) but I can see how that would be alot more work for such a small team.

It’s Pokemon Snap on Steam.

So, I really liked Pokemon Snap on N64. I know, I know, it’s a game for five-year-olds, but it was so much fun - travel around different locations, keep your eyes peeled, take some good pictures. Well, that’s what this game is… just with the random monsters of a different imagination. It’s kinda weird - this game is quite a bit simpler than Snap, and yet… I think I liked this one more. Heck, the graphics aren’t even up to the Snap level (Snap was 3D, super animated, blah blah blah… This one is hand-drawn-y, simple animations, etc) - and I still think I like this one better. My ONLY disappointment was how quickly I “beat” the game - I’m showing 4.2 hours logged as of writing this, and that was with trying to take my time to enjoy (rather than trying to “steamroll” the game).

Alekon

Alekon

This is a very simple game idea. You take photos of mostly happy, colorful creatures, solve some simple puzzles, play minigames. What makes Alekon very interesting is the memorable creature design, but it’s worth mentioning that, as you go further, it’s getting harder to memorise all of them.

It’s fairly easy to move forward in the game, you are not forced to finish everything (but some skills make your life easier, specially if you try to make every photo 10/10) I would say childfriendly, if we don’t count some of the minigames are kinda hard (But as far as I see, the devs are taking feedback and fixing those, so you can partly ignore this comment) and the situation with the Shrooma minigame, that felt a bit odd.

Very fun little retro-modern mashup game

Pretty nice game with the feel of my favorite Pokemon game but with an updated and modernized look! The monsters are all unique and quirky in their own ways and so are their movesets. The Moondex is unlocked from the start of the game so you can see all the monster designs and they remind me of some of my favorite characters that I used to watch growing up! If you liked the original Pokemon games growing up, you should definitely try this game.

Nexomon: Extinction

Nexomon: Extinction

This is the best monster catching game I have ever played!

In case you only read the first line I want to stress that point more than any other. I tried to keep this review spoiler free. Just in case this a spoiler warning. I have had SO MUCH FUN playing this game and I want to make sure people wont miss out on this experience. Nexomon is as far from being “Just another Pokemon clone” as you can get. I will include some information for those who are undecided about Nexomon Extinction.

Now there are some similarities to other monster catching games but that is sticking to the genre. You need locations to heal your Nexomon. You need people to battle and strengthen your team. But the Nexomon team have included many unique elements to their game that I feel truly sets it apart from other games.

Real player with 909.2 hrs in game

Nexomon: Extinction is a Pokemon knock-off, but a fairly good one I think that does enough to distinguish itself and make it worth a buy.

GAMEPLAY

The gameplay of Nexomon Extinction is very similar to the main-series of Pokemon games. You go around the world battling Nexomon, of which you have a team of up to six on you, each of which has up to four moves. It’s not completely identical though, there are some minor differences. In battle, rather than having PP, moves all have a certain stamina cost which use up some of your Nexomon’s stamina bar. Personally, I prefer this system actually, first it’s a bit more realistic, for what that’s worth. It is also a bit more strategic since there is a drawback to using more powerful moves. They use more stamina, and that will limit the amount of moves total you’ll be able to use. There are fewer types than in Pokemon, also (9), and there are no dual-types. One thing that I quite liked was that you had a choice of 9 starters, one for each type. If anyone’s curious I picked the Noki when I played through the game, though I was torn between it, Mara, and Lume.

Monster Wilds

Monster Wilds

Infinite loading screen, “System Requirements Not Fully Tested”, a fancy way of saying “game is not optimazed, at all”.

Real player with 0.7 hrs in game

Great Great potential but disappointing implementation and execution. 3/5 rating. 2 biggest flaws, 1st main character model looks like a morph/spore child no matter how you customize it its always ugly unoriginal and disappointing especially in comparison to enemy models which are almost all better in appearance than the main character.2nd battle controls are spread to completely different sides of the screen making selecting your opponent then attack feel like a chore instead of fun. overall aesthetic is good i doesn’t have to look expensive or fancy but it needs to be more user friendly with functions the skill implementation is really cool but needing to change which ugly body part your using just to have the skill as well as the body parts not giving any difference in stats seems pointless and once again making it a chore. i would still recommend this game to people looking to see what huge potential it has and drawing interest to it.

Fossil Corner

Fossil Corner

Decided to pay for this one as I spent countless hours on Overfull Games previous game, “Plant Daddy”.

I do not regret the money I spent! And I am kind of stingy, especially when it comes to entertainment.

If you like breeding, if you like paleontology, if you like puzzles, if you like decorating, if you like making pretty things! I recommend this game. Fun, intuitive, calm or fast paced depending on your own mood, work as slowly or quickly as you like.

Simple controls.

Few bugs, as it is early release, very minor, sometimes fun/funny!

Real player with 27.8 hrs in game

Super relaxing, super satisfying, super adorable game about completing fossil puzzles and adding them to your ever-expanding fossil collection. It’s the fun kind of addictive!

Initially I was a little hesitant to try it, since in my experience random-generated content tends to be pretty samey, and I wasn’t sure if generated puzzles was something that could even be pulled off. I was pleasantly proved quite wrong, though - the puzzles usually aren’t major brainteasers, but they are enough to keep your attention, and at the end you get to add a new item to your collection to display, which gives the game this well-built, satisfying feedback loop; doing chill puzzles, earning money and fossils, spending money to decorate your room and put more of your cute little fossils on display. Something I especially like is how the game takes something that actual paleontologists do - sort fossils by minimum changes each generation to find their evolutionary paths - and turns it into a puzzle game! A few seemingly simple mechanics make for a surprisingly fun and engrossing game. I’m very excited to see the content updates the developer is adding soon, too. :

100 hidden snails 2

100 hidden snails 2

This game is better suited for a child probably 6 to 12 years old (imho) than an adult. The first 50 you find on black/white artwork and all the snails are inside the artwork somewhere. At 50, the artwork colors itself in (and it is truly beautiful) and 51 through 100 can be anywhere on the screen. Took me less than 5 minutes to find the first 50. The second 50 were a bit harder only because I didn’t realize at first they were not “restricted” to the artwork itself like the first 50. I have .9 hours listed as my play time only because I got up several times last night to walk away and give my eyes a rest while I searched for the last piece that was proving elusive. Too easy in my opinion and I won’t be buying any of the other ones offered now.

100 Hidden Snails 2 is a very simple hidden object puzzle. Find 100 hidden objects in a large 2D line drawing of a factory. The whole thing might as well be done in a web browser. This one differs from the others in the series by having two stages, after the first 50 snails, the puzzle is redrawn in colour and you must locate the remaining snails (much more difficult due to how much busier the image has become).

There’s just not enough gameplay or enjoyment in this to recommend anyone should pay for something this simple, short, and unengaging. Steam is for video games, not Where’s Waldo books.

Planet Centauri

Planet Centauri

This is a very entertaining game worth its full early access price. I am sure you already know what it reminds you of but it has its own charm. Some key advantages it has over -those- games you are thinking about is that the torch can be placed on hotbar to help you see in the dark areas without having it selected. This means you no longer need to place a thousand torches just to see where you are digging underground at the beginning like in Terraria. You get to capture pets in this game too and they can level up and learn passives. A few of these monsters can be used as mounts. You can put these pets into special pet houses where they will earn xp overtime. Decorating inside of their houses with the proper furniture will boost the rate. Monsters have tiers so finding the higher tier ones will get higher tier passives usually or more HP/attack bonuses. Put a male and female together in house and they will produce an egg granted they are same kind of monster. They will produce egg easier when they love their home more I think (represented by heart meter)
