Dinogotchi
Dinogotchi reminds me of all the tamagotchis I had as a child, they’re all dead… But Dinogotchi is different, the game has a nice and cute art, the music and sound effects are nice but I feel like the game in general could have a extra polish.
I recommend the game, especially for those who already had tamagotchis in their childhood or for those interested in the genre.

I am editing my review to update my opinions on the game, I will keep the original at the bottom of this for context, my biggest issues with parts of the game being unplayable is fixed so I think it’s fair and time to change this. :)
The developer of this game has done a good job at making a cute game and being open to criticism and fixing the problems. All the issues I reported were fixed really fast and it gives me a lot of hope for future updates.
The pixel art in the game is really well done, all the dinosaurs look cute and recognisable and overall really pleasant to look at. The UI is really nice and was updated recently to make the happiness, hunger and energy icons more clean which wasn’t necessary but a really nice change. The music is also very nice and cute, I enjoy it a lot, more songs would be nice but this is still good.

GHOSTWINTER
I think its a cool game for a $3 indie title. The scenery is very nice and it definitely puts you in the winter mood. It is very challenging but I’ve managed to get 17 of the 35 enemies so far, still haven’t made it to the T-Rex yet but I’m looking forward to finding it.

Excellent optimization and high quality graphics. Didn’t notice any flaws. Those who give negative reviews due to the fact that in a single-player game on the “Esc” key, the game restarts apparently did not read the detailed description in the upper right corner. High-quality control, many types of weapons, I liked the ability to save a character with a certain weapon and accessories that you can then choose. Various modes of multiplayer play, no monotony. I advise everyone!!!

100 hidden cups
He’s done it again! Anatoliy has put his mind to a fantasy picture and hidden cups, and they are much harder to find than your average snail or cat. Frustrating, challenging, and always entertaining, the artwork is brilliant and fantastic and the music boppy and cheerful, no matter how mad you feel trying to find those last few, though this time it’s the last 30 I can’t find instead of 2 or 3.
If you like a challenge, this one might be it, he reckons it is, and if you haven’t come across these games before, grab the series and work through them! As usual you can reset the score and there is a night mode. 10/10!

This one is a little rough. The art style slightly sucks. There are some well drawn parts but then when there is a more ambiguous area like gaseous clouds or jellyfish the lines are really rough.
On top of that cups sometimes do not really look like cups. A rectangle with a triangle for a cup does not really make a cup.
Still with all those issue it is still a fun fast play. Replay value in minimal but for the cost of the game you really cannot really go wrong.

Paleo Pines
Welcome to Paleo Pines, a peaceful island of pioneers and affectionate dinosaurs! Here evolution took a different path - survival of the kindest - creating a world in which humans and dinosaurs live together in harmony.
As the only known descendant of the legendary Flute Whisperer, your arrival on the island is met with delight by the local inhabitants. Together with your Parasaurolophus companion Lucky, you build a thriving ranch, make friends wherever you go, and unearth the lost history of your ancestors.
There’s plenty to explore out in the wilds of Paleo Pines, from the flowery fields of Veridian Valley to the high canyons in the desert… Stroll around the various different areas to find wild crops to forage, colourful characters that might need a hand or, of course, a dinosaur to befriend and take home to your ranch!
A variety of adorable dinosaurs roam the wild areas and can become your friends, as well as helpers on your ranch. Gain their trust by creating customised pens for them to frolic, feed them, treat them, give them attention and keeping them happy. Your efforts may very well result in your dinosaur friends trusting you enough to help you out with your farming tasks… And don’t forget to pat them on the nose!
Farm to your heart’s content, growing crops all year round with - and for - your dino besties! With a bit of love and care, such as matching soil and season, you’ll be able to grow the highest quality produce in Paleo Pines.
Building friendships within the community is just as important as building friendships with your dinosaurs! As you ride dinos, farm and explore, you come across a medley of characters, each with their own story. Help the people on the island out by completing requests, opening up new areas and visiting different stores and community hubs!
With various areas to explore, each with their own charm, collectable items and of course different dinos to discover, you’ll never run out of things to do or dinosaurs to tame and bring home. And if you feel your inner dino spotter coming out, there’s nothing like just watching the wild dinosaurs frolic and interact with each other!
Paleo Pines is a place where you can express your individuality and creativity. Create your character as you like with any combination, curate a colourful collection of clothing - with different items to be found in each area - and change your style via the wardrobe!
Furthermore, no two ranches are the same. Build square pens, or not (Owynn might have something to say about that). Use decor to build a romantic garden full of flowers, give your ranch a witchy vibe or go full hog on farming with rows and rows of tilled soil. Your ranch is yours, build it your way!

My Singing Monsters
This game opened my eyes to the greater questions. Why are we here if not just to play My Singing Monsters? If there is any meaning in life I think I’ve found it. When the Fwog proclaims, “Wa wa wa wa wa wa,” I think I understand further why life was granted to us. Our whole purpose, was to create My Singing Monsters, and play it. The only thing we should have done, and the only thing we should be doing, is playing My Singing Monsters. I got choked up when the Maw said “De de, de de de, de de de, de de de, de de de, de de de, de de de, de de de.” It forced me to think, to open my mind to the bigger picture. Friends don’t matter. Nothing matters as much as My Singing Monsters.

Shortly before My Singing Monsters was released on steam, my life was spiraling out of control. But then one day a friend of mine told me that My Singing monsters was on steam. I couldn’t believe it, it was true, it had just released and it turned my life upside up again. The second I heard the noggin gracefully slap the top of his head repeatedly to the first time I heard the mammot seductively say “Bummm”. I cried tears of joy, Every time I feed my monsters I feel proud and genuinely feel like my monsters care about my well being. I talk to my monsters every night and tell them about my problems. All I talk about is my singing monsters and my friends blocked me on discord because I only talk about My Singing Monsters. Thank you Big Blue Bubble. Thank you for bringing a purpose to my life again.

Evolution Board Game
UPDATE I no longer work for Northstar. This review should be considered to be for the first year of the game.
So up front… I worked on this game. I want to be super clear about that. (In case you can’t tell by me having more hours logged in it than it’s been out in the wild.
So why review. Well obviously I want the game I worked on to do well… but there is more than that.
For those who don’t know, Evolution was a table top board game first and has been for years. It was one of my earliest modern board gaming experiences and I still love to break it out and play it. The constant evolution of strategies and plays with the traits that can be played makes the game very replayable.

I’m definitely addicted to this one. Good game balance, I never feel like any build is just too powerful. Challenging AI. Cute/Beautiful art. Fun facts. Satisfying sound effects; glad I can turn the music off without turning them off (though the music is good to).
I assume you could unlock brutal mode right away but playing through the campaign on both difficulties has been both an enjoyable difficulty progression and given me plenty of content to consume. Especially with the fun of trying to unlock sketches. But Darwin gets super annoying on the second go through.
