Disney Universe
This is a great game for little kids. Local Multiplayer! Unlimited lives, each level is really fun and lots of cool stuff to discover. Multiply player is great and some things require co-operation. One thing to note is that players can hit each other and steal gold, which can be frustrating if taken advantage of, but otherwise is really funny (pick up the player and throw him!). I have two remotes and play with my 3 and 4 year old. It seems like you can play up to 4 people. The game crashes (took down Windows too) if you disconnect or reconnect a remote with the game running, but has been stable other than that. The menus are a little hard for kids until they learn the pictures and then they’re off to the races. Tons of fun. If you’re looking for a kids game this is a good one.

Ok, So I of all the new Disney games that were recently released on Steam, I have to say that Disney Universe and Epic Mickey 2 are my favorite so far with Disney Universe on top.
You start off picking from a very generous choice of costumes for your character, from Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Tron, A Bug’s Life, the Princess from Aladdin, Angelica from Pirates of the Caribbean and a bunch more. And you can find a ton more costumes throughout the game to add to your costume menu and use.
This game feels almost like your playing a LEGO video game but the amount of fun you will have here is intense.

Genius! NAZI-GIRL GoePPels-Chan ep1
Amazing game, makes me laugh every time I open it up. There is one problem, and it is that the game is only like 20-40 minutes of gameplay, on all of the eps for all options. Still a good game though. I would expect it to be at least $2 each

A short but sweet visual novel. Has a surprising amount of historical accuracy for a moe-styled retelling of the Nazis' propaganda efforts. I’d recommend not posting anything about it on YouTube if you value your channel (I’ve learned this the hard way).
You can reach an ending in about an hour if you don’t rush it and listen to the dialog.
Translations are very well done and everything is perfectly understandable.
One playthrough has me wanting to buy the sequels, if you’re interested then pick it up!

Big thank you to my darling daughter who I unwisely made an agreement with over this game. After finding it in the survival section of the store she insisted on buying it for me on the understanding that I would clock up an ungodly number of hours on it and no being asleep in from of my computer allowed. Laughingly I agreed - I mean I like cute junky kiddie games, how bad could it be…?
sigh
I got so bored I actually wrote a guide for it. .
Okay so you have a pony and it walks around in a vaguely cute environment. Unfortunately everything that comes after that feels like someone sketched a vague idea for it out and then forgot to actually implement it. Instead you end up with a weird game which is “watch the loading bars.” Want your pony to work an 8 hour shift? Watch a loading bar for 30 seconds! Want your pony to enjoy a film? Watch that loading bar go! Feel like taking your pony to university and training in a new career? You guessed it! Loading bar! There actually is no content beyond loading bars to basically everything you do, not even tiny animations. I really cannot stress how devoid of content this game is. Even when you have an entire section of items called “Toys” barring two of them (which are also reused as the only two animation in the social interactions with other ponies) all that happens when you play with them is that the icon that represents them appears in a though bubble above your pony for a few seconds.

Bomber Crew
Addictive! If you get all the DLC (you should) then you have two campaigns (with additional RAF missions added) plus sudden death competitive solo gameplay. In the RAF campaign you control a 7-person Lancaster bomber crew over Europe. In the USAAF campaign you control a 9-person B-17 crew (they left out the co-pilot as B-17s have 10 crew standard) in the Mediterranean. You don’t directly fly the plane but rather give orders to the various crew members. At the heart of BOMBER CREW is tagging, which involves using a sight to select objectives (planes, map points, ships, towns, airfields, factories, etc.), which causes your crew to steer the plane, shoot at enemy planes, land the plane, etc. Additionally, each crew member has various abilities, depending on training and experience, and each station in the plane has various controls. A campaign involves a series of missions, like recon, bombing, dropping supplies, clearing an area of enemy planes, etc. The difficulty is keeping your cool and making good decisions under pressure, while your plane is being attacked, blown to bits, running out of fuel, trying to find its way through clouds, etc. Some people won’t like it because there’s too much micro-managing, but that’s the essence of BOMBER CREW: managing a World War Two bomber crew! The sudden death gameplay involves scoring as many points as possible before you give up or get blown out of the sky. Frustration and failure comes when you lose crew and/or planes, requiring you to bring in new crew/planes in the middle of your campaign, possibly dooming the whole thing to failure.

Overview
Bomber Crew is a crew management game in which the player has to accomplish bomber objectives in World War Two in an RAF bomber plane. Crew members accomplish tasks by assigning them to stations, with enough skill and enough luck, crew members will accomplish tasks that you hope they will accomplish. Aircraft navigation is accomplished by tagging navigational beacons, some of which appear due to the work of the plane’s navigator, but bombing and recon targets can be tagged (and flown to) when they’re in visual range. Shooting down planes, bombing targets, and photographing recon targets earn XP for the crew, which not only boosts their abilities, but also unlocks special sets of skills within their specialties. Completing mission objectives earns “intel,” which works like experience, but unlocks equipment to purchase for crew members and upgrades for the plane. The player has a choice of military objectives that mostly involve bombing targets, but some missions require air-dropping supplies to friendly forces. Completion of some missions will have a direct effect on the next two missions, and there’s also special missions which (with one exception) are based off of real life British military exploits.

Raifu Wars
Imagine Mario Party levels of bullshit combined with the strategy of Risk. That’s the best way to explain it, & IT IS AMAZING.

This is such a fun and chill game! It doesn’t get boring or repetitive since there are so many maps to choose from and characters to play as. The map editor is really cool, too! The art is adorable and the music is enjoyable. I’m really looking forward to getting some friends playing and trying out multiplayer. I could definitely see this being a go-to party game!

Azur Lane Crosswave
Finally I finished this game with 100% achievement, I reviewed this game based on what I experienced and felt, I don’t want any debate like “I don’t feel the way you feel when I play this game” one more thing, I’m not an expert in a review and therefore I know that my writing is far from perfect. So I started with gameplay.
Gameplay
Ahhh the gameplay, somehow I like or not but heres the thing, here you play 5 types of ships namely CL, CA, DD, CV, and BB with a total of 29 playable characters and 35 support characters. The basic battle is quite simple, you choose the character you want to play along with an additional 2 playable characters that you can switch during battle and 3 support characters, shoot enemy ships with predetermined skills and avoid attacks, oh yes on side note you don’t use ships the same as your enemy, I can’t say much about this. All types can do dashes except BB, your dash will be given a shield instead and also the speed of this BB run is very slow compared to others (yes I know this makes sense). Honestly I like the dash in this game but I expect the character to be able to jump too. There is an oddity that I found on DD / CA / CL gun, where you can shoot enemy aircraft with this gun even though you have AA as your gear, quite strange right? To shoot the aircraft, the distance is very far and you have to wait until the aircraft approaches even more so in a condition you have to shoot as many as 20 aircraft but the spawn is only 16 and this is enough to make me very angry, then there are other things like battles that have arena stage the small one with an invisible wall (uhh I’m quite annoyed with this, yeah I know it’s made like in the mobile game).

When you open Azur Lane for the first time on your phone, you are surprised with a loud AZUR LANE!
You wonder to yourself what is this game, and eventually you get addicted to it and have been sticking with the game for nearly two years by the time of this review.
That’s me, and this is just a review with their VN based 3D game Azur Lane: Crosswave!
Before I start, this game is much more enjoyable if you play the base game on your mobile device, I recommend to start there first before thinking about paying for this VN based game.

Senren * Banka
Cutting into the strings of fate.
Preclaimer
-
This is an Adult Visual Novel - one with a free R18 Patch (obtainable at NekoNyan’s webshop) at that - designed to be R18, which is why I consider the R18 content part of the whole and will include it in this review. If for whatever reason you are not interested in this content, or aren’t legally allowed to play it, you should just skip this review.

Since many Visual Novels are similar in a bunch of ways, I’m gonna review this one on a few common aspects, including heavy reference to the previous title from YuzuSoft as well as independent explanations.

Disclaimer: There is a free R18 patch available from NekoNyan’s official website which adds cut content (mainly H-Scene related) back to the game. I can’t speak for the cut version as I have only played the uncut one.
I’m going to keep this fairly short instead of doing a thorough review, but I’ve added some thoughts on various aspects of the game below if you want to dive deeper.
I’ve enjoyed Senren*Banka and highly recommend checking this one out. The overall focus of the game is the curse of the town Hori, with the protagonist being an outsider thrown in and the four main heroines being related to or influenced by the curse in one way or another.

Rouge Patrol
The war between Rouge and Bleue has gone beyond either nation’s capacity to wage it. First they drafted the men and then boys… women were conscripted in turn. Now, with all spent - and surrender unthinkable - the grinding machine of war has turned to girls.
Fourteen years old, Sergeant P.G. Tails has lost everything to Bleue and will stop at nothing to achieve their destruction. But, as she leads her unit into the unending conflict, she begins to realise that the price of revenge may be paid, not by her, but the girls she has come to love. Worse, she carries a secret that puts her in more danger from her friends than her enemies…
Description
Rouge Patrol tells an epic and heartfelt story about friendship, loss, and a young girl’s conflicting drive to avenge what’s been taken while preserving what remains. You will take on the role of Sergeant P.G. Tails and, through a fusion of visual novel and stat-raiser mechanics, explore a branching and perilous narrative.
Each member of Rouge patrol has her own history and interrelationships. But, as their commanding officer, your choices will determine their future. Form friendships with any or all of them, but balance socialisation against the pressures of maintaining your found family’s ability to survive the missions you lead them into.
Featuring:
-
Ten main characters and multiple sides, all with over thirty unique poses
-
Full HD CGs, backgrounds and sprites
-
Separate health, morale and relationship systems that impact characters' appearance and behaviour
-
Multiple story branches
-
Individual stat management for the whole patrol
-
Levels, exp, ability tests, perks and all that good stuff
-
Four branching romances
-
Tragic friendships!
Flowers -Le volume sur ete-
Wow, wow, wow. What a game. Let me just say that this is usually not my kind of thing, but by the end of it, I really quite enjoyed it. This is the second game of the series but if you didn’t play the first game like me, you really wouldn’t be lost at all so there is nothing to worry about there.
I don’t think the main story is particularly interesting. In some ways, the main story is actually really cliche. But I think what really carries the story through is the dialog and character development these characters go through on top of just being interesting and likeable characters in themselves. I particularly love Erika, the MC of this game and Suoh who I think is the MC of the last game. Chidori never rubbed off on me that well but I feel like that was the point of her character and her development by the end of it made me care for her all the same.

Inglorious Waifu VS Nazi Zombies
Probably the best game I’ve played this year.
Historical accuracy is at its best, from the buildings to the vehicles. Even the Nazis are accurate.
Of course, the last update “BOOBS PHYSICS ADDED” is what makes the game go from “Great” to “God Tier”.
If you don’t already own the game, buy it, it is a delightful game full of surprise.
I’ll probably stream it on Twitch as my 100000+ followers have been asking me to. I think this game defines the new meta of FPS.
Waiting for a multiplayer mode. Both co-op and competitive could be nice.

Game actually has some fun aspects to it, only lacking in length. If there was more replayability to the game I’d have more hours. This is a good game for quick achievements for Steam level as it doesn’t take very long to gain all 26 achievements. Would love to see this game updated to add more to it, as funny as it sounds. Gameplay is very solid and feels good to play (EVEN HAS JIGGLE PHYSICS!) I’d have to rate this game a 7/10 due to the short length of it, but for under $5 its a great game to pick up and play when you are bored of your extremely long steam list of games bought during the summer sale that you said you’d play, but haven’t touched at all in the multiple years you’ve owned them.
