Blue Horizon
Well what can i say it’s a good game but has many bugs and issues but they are getting sorted by the Developer
PLEASE NOTE…this game is playable to a point in the game as the patch 1.0.8 has not corrected all the issues with the save and load process you still can’t save upgrades bought from a shop keeper in the city also the quest you get from the pirate in the inn where you pay 50 gold pieces for the quest he marks it on your map but when you save and load back up it is no longer there on your map, also it does not save any provisions you have collected.

Update: I no longer recommend Blue Horison.
The updates have practically stopped. There were a few after the game went live, and I think there was one a couple months ago, but there have not been significant changes to the game. Even with bug fixes, there are fundamental problems with Blue Horizon and it seems the developer is done with the game, which is a shame.
As far as stability, the game is solid. Visually, the game is pleasing and immersive (and less clunky than it was initially), but the functions within the game work against the immersion by smearing it with a feeling of low-budget-indie-developer who has reached the limits of his talent. Look up MDickie.com as an example. I don’t mean to be cruel here, it’s just that the player has minimal impact on the in-game world which limits interaction and the developers are okay with that, as if the game is a prof of concept demo. I understand that the game is Story-Driven, but it detracts heavily from RPG elements. I prefer to see a labor of love with the developers churning out patches and updates, you know, actual development that says this is a project more than a product. In this case, the game feels like a product on rails intended for a quick and incidental sale. Maybe this game will be a stepping stone in Blue Horizon Studios' journey into the single-player pirate genre (a genre long neglected), hopefully with something ground breaking later.

Brigand: Oaxaca
Brigand Oaxaca is one of my favorite games of all time. Rough around the edges, buggy, brutal, and incredibly frustrating, it’s a treasure the likes of which you’ll rarely play. It’s creator, Brian Lancaster, is something of a tortured genius who, in between intense ayahuasca trips, and Mcaffee’esque stints in the jungles of Latin America, sought to share this powerful premonition of the plight of humanity in the upcoming apocalypse.
In all seriousness, this game scratches a niche that probably only a certain crowd will enjoy. If you like the original Deus Ex, but want it a little shittier, this is for you. If you like rollenspiele classics like gothic and og fallout, but feel that their unity of design and assets wasn’t tenuous and wild enough, this might be for you. If you like Stalker, but could do without all of those fan patches and bugfixes, then this is absolutely for you.

I think this is one of the best games I’ve ever played. I found it on the steam store page during the summer sale, and one glance at the preview video cemented it as something I had to buy, dlcs and all. I don’t regret getting it, in fact, I’m still in shock I hadn’t heard of this game sooner. Deus Ex-like gunplay? Open-ended gameplay, with (mostly) complete freedom of choice in how you want to complete the story? Voodoo (!) and cybernetics? A save system that lets you save scum but also gives you the thrill of permadeath by starving you of beds at times?

Ghosts of War: Battle Royale WW2 Shooting games
Here is my video on Ghost Of War https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38GVkMBQsnI
this game has a lot of potential
the crouch does not work
can not go to secondary weapon
would like to see lower health or damage upped
not much ammo to start with
little things to fix over all amazing work not bad at all for sure would try it out I am now a big fan!!!
– Real player with 33.0 hrs in game
I have played this for over 20 hours. It’s not that bad but it could be better. There are misspelled things. There aren’t many guns that you can get, some tasks are impossible to even do. There are 3 things you can do, team death matches, death match (free for all), and what was just made was battle royal. I feel like there should be seasoned and special stuff. Not just season crates and other stuff, switch it up a bit. I’m planning on still playing this game, but until I find a better game I won’t play this as much. I would rather play call of duty any day.

Hero’s Story
There are only few locations in this version of the game (no new locations compared to the test version). I would suggest to wait until there is more content. Overall game looks nice.

======ENG======
I suggest to buy this game only if you want to support the developer or want to be in touch with the developing process.
I DO NOT recommend to buy this game if you’re already anticipating some kind of “final product”. It’s Early Access, guys!
This review will be updated as far as the game updates will be released.
======RUS======
Чтож, одним словом – это Early Access. Сейчас это не игра, а задел под неё. Вам не стоит ее покупать, если вы ожидаете уже получить готовый продукт. НО стоит, если а) хотите поддержать автора; б) хотите понимать что с игрой происходит и помочь в разработке.

Parkan: Iron Strategy
Build your own Russian Metal Gears!
I’ve played this game years ago and it’s still good! I’m still not sure about the ending, though.
– Real player with 15.9 hrs in game
First review aimed for English players.
Parkan Iron Strategy is one of the four games in the Parkan series, three of which you can buy on Steam. The fourth one is an “expansion” to Iron Strategy named Part 2. The reason for it’s abcense is it’s Russian only localization, that’s why you are limited to a Youtube walkthrough of it, if you can find one.
One things for sure, it’s hard.
I’ve played and finished this game a LONG time ago. Replaying it now just shows that nothing has changed. Got nearly stomped by an easy AI at the beginning of a singleplayer map, but managed later on.

PARKAN: THE IMPERIAL CHRONICLES
I just played this game for the first time recently, and I finished it just minutes ago. It is GREAT! You get to fly and fight in an advanced fighter ship, use drones to even the odds when outnumbered, and you can also board other ships, space stations, and planet bases to fight in FPS mode. You can even colonize planets!
It did take me about two days to learn how to play it, since there is no tutorial. There is an English language manual in the game directory, but it is kind of hard to read due to translation issues. Once I got the hang of it, though, it was unlike anything else I’ve ever played.
– Real player with 23.0 hrs in game
I spent a lot of hours in this as a child, still having great time while playing it now.
Core gameplay is about colonising planets (to get resources), completing missions fighting pirates and searching for better equipment.
Pros:
-
replayability thanks to randomly generated environment
-
simple, but fun gameplay
-
runs on Windows 10
Cons:
- lack of story (in-game), I heard it exists outside of a game, but I couldnt find it. Without it you have no idea why you do what you do: find this (why?) - find bad guy (what did he do?) - kill him.

Sphere 3: Rage of the Devastator
This game ain’t for everyone.
If you like mmos that shower you with loot, xp, fast progress and stuff like that - go away.
This game is HARD man!
It still needs some polish overall, but it’s passable (at least for me). If you visit official forum and check for posts about game flaws, you will find that some of them are fixed atm.
Altough kinda inactive forum-wise, devs haven’t abandoned game. Each holiday is covered with some event, and most recent update got the new dungeon to the game.
Game has probably best action combat you will find in gaming. While in Tera / Neverwinter and many other action combat based games, certain skills root you while casting them, here in Sphere 3 you cast and run at the same time. Very welcome change indeed. It’s almost as in Wildstar, well… it kinda IS like Wildstar just more “free” in terms of mobility.

Disclaimer:
I have only played the game up to lvl 14 as Necromancer on Immertel.
[Will Revisit Review at lvl 20 and 40(if I last that long)]
Population:
Large Russian community, very few English speakers.
Gameplay:
The game isn’t tab target, and the cursor seems to lock on super easy with some skills and not so much with others, like some skills veer to the right or left when casting at time. Lucky hits and misses at times. Does feel like a step up from tab target games but not full on immersive combat, because of the skill upgrade system you tend to stick to a handful of skills–at least outside of pvp. Grinding is alright, would love to see more gear dropping(any I mean). It seems like only upgrade scrolls, junk loot, and item recipes pop up.
