Metrocide
Oh man, I really like the concept of the game. Because of that, I also really want to recommend it. Unfortunately I can’t; the average player would rip their own arm off and beat their monitor to pieces.
First off, the good:
-Cool gameplay idea
-Cool setting
-GTA 1/2 style overhead view
-Lots of variety in contracts
The bad:
-Terrible, terrible AI
-The controls kind of suck
-Starting weapon is extremely shitty
-Lots of bugs
-Lots of crashes
-The AI’s so bad it deserves another spot
-The last zone the player unlocks isn’t very fun

Metrocide is an interesting, yet simple to learn game set in a dystopian world with plenty of flavour to it. The player takes on the role of a contract killer who needs to earn money to skip town. To do so, as his or her job title implies, they take contracts to end the lives of their targets without being shot by cops, vigilantes, gang members, paranoid targets or their bodygaurds. While at this, they will need to hide the bodies to prevent the police from increasing the priority coverage of the zone they are in and they will need to kill without leaving witnesses - Or risk being hunted by police drones which eliminate criminals without any remorse or trial. This leaves oppertunities, however. Should you pull out your gun and show it to a paranoid target, the target may open fire at you first. Vigilantes will do the dirty work for you, and citizens will give your target’s description to the police instead of yours. Then when they all ran, nobody will be around to identify you as the killer when you shoot back.

Cyberforge: First Light
EDIT 3 DEC 2020:
There was a game update yesterday and it seems like the developer is listening to input from his audience, which is awesome because this game does not need much in the way of mechanics and balance. The enemies are harder, the variety of enemies is greater, you can tell your characters to hold still, and here is a video of gameplay!
ORIGINAL:
In my book, Cyberforge: First Light is a top notch example of what early access should look like. It’s very well polished and, depending on what other levels are added, very close to being 100% complete. The mechanics are smooth, although there needs to be some balancing, and gameplay is fluid with just a couple of bugs (that I found).

TLDR: Very good game for early access.
My only real critique is a bug report. At first I thought that more rooms haven’t been designed yet, but I’m on my third run so far and the same room keeps repeating, even though I know different ones exist that I’ve been in before, so there may be a small bug with rooms repeating.
In terms of what the game has to offer its a very good rogue like with good strategy and fun puzzles, and It’s very fun to get good at.

Armed to the Gears
Armed to the Gears:
It all started with the discovery of the Neutronium base element from a deep excavation in 2029, somewhere near a place named Main City. Neutrium turns out to be a powerful new energy that can be used to power batteries and equipment for hundreds of years. This type of energy is always useful for military purposes, and the countries that have access to the Neutrium start a race to develop the ultimate automated warfare unit. The citizens of the world take to the streets to raise their concerns, but the world turns to chaos, leading to the rise of three terrible factions. The worst of the three, the Ministry, wins the race and now controls the world with these ultimate machines of war. That is, until a rebellion of hackers plans to use the machines against the Ministry. It’s going to be Armed to the Gears!

Don't get me wrong with this review, I DID have fun… but there are several things wrong with this game. That being said... i only had like 5.5 hrs ACTUAL time played on campaign..... watched a movie with the wife and went to get more beer while the game was still running. (New Predator movie rocks btw). This game does not suck. I know it is in alpha. I want to like this game more, byt they have a lot of work to do
_Upgrading is confusing at first.. I feel it should be seperated from the turret menu_

## Beat The Machine
the game has its flaws don't get me wrong. but this game honestly can be super fun once its rounded around the edges of bugs and dialogue. I've recommended this game to some of friends and overall the response i feel and others tell is its frustratingly fun. which at the end of the day for what this game is, is something I couldn't agree more about.

Love the arcade style feel to it. Controls took a second to get used to on mouse and keyboard but it was cool to play a game with movement controls that I've never used before. Definitely recommend if you're into arcade style game. Levels are way more challenging than they seem. Dev team did a great job so far!

Can't believe the normal price for this game, I got it on sale for under two bucks, and it was still over priced.
One pretty small map, for eighty five levels, seven towers that seem to only upgrade twice to level three, with no options or variety. Graphics are decent, though the units movement doesn't match the distance traveled for the ones with feet. All in all, a piece of jump. Getting my money back.

## Legion of Scorn
First, and quite possibly last, the game is pretty okay for one dollar, it doesn't support HD resolution and the it only has the most basic of top down shooter game-play and a story that might as well not exist, but hey it's only a buck and it works i guess, oh and the music is pretty alright too.

If you like turn-based tactic games you should check this out! The melee is really fun and I really like the music.

## Ultra Bushwick
This game is awesome! No boring moments; to pay the rent you need to keep it moving! & The art style is really cool!

Wow. Really fun and visually stunning for a 5 dollar game. Killer pixel art, but with so much on screen its a little tough to find the enemy's in the chaos. A simple outline of the enemy's would help. Otherwise this game rocks, and is well worth the asking price. This was made by one guy? Hell I have played TS games that were made by a huge team of programmers and were not nearly as fun, one guy made this? Good job man.
