They’ve released the game, finally!
It is rebalanced. Got new balance for weapons and overall difficulty of the missions has been significantly reduced, but still hard to beat at the end. Good work afterall.
New Black-Maned wolf if great. A bit to overpower, but that’s OK.
It’s cheap, but offers much more than lots of other overpriced titles.

I’ve got played new version with new weapon balance. It chaged everything. Now each weapon is useful and can find place in your deck. Range weapons are no ultimate decision anymore. You have to fill your deck with melee cards, which can now hit multiple targets or, ATLAST, strike diagonally. Also almost every weapon got new handy chain effects. Shotguns now can hit close range targets. Most of equiped weapon are now more efficient (cheaper or have better params) - that realy makes sense. I’m just learning to play with new balance, but as far as I’ve seen, it feels great.

Blood Bowl 2
I see a lot of negative reviews from people who have played the original blood bowl games which I can’t comment on due to BB2 being my first experience of the game, all I can say is that I love it, if I’ve got free time it’s my first, second and third choice, and if I’m not playing I’m watching a stream :)
Pros:
1. Incredibly deep gameplay/strategy, after 600 hours I still feel like a noob, every team can be developed differently according to how you like to play, and more than half the teams haven’t been released yet so still plenty of variety to come.

Yes I do recommend this game. Yes I probably should take a rage management treatment due to the random nature of the game… STILL, like Poker… this dice game REALLY reward skill, but sometimes the game “deals” you a crappy hand… and then close to anybody can beat you.
Some really love Blood bowl and give it 10/10… some don’t… It’s abit sad that many of the reviews here are made of unexperienced gamers. And if you find the game too expensive - just buy it on sale!?
Unpatient or timid gamers should not play this game. You will experience that the PvP is very hard for new coaches. The skill level of the more experienced coaches are really high and they will punish every mistake. You move 11 players on the pitch in a conversion of a table top game. Turn based, 16 turns each. All the time you need to make risk calculations and use your logic and tactical skills. Read the player/race guides out there, it will help you alot developing your skills! The game should be of course played vs real human opponents… not the AI.

Warhammer 40,000: Mechanicus
One of those few small indie 40k gems that really gets everything right. Gameplay is unique and fun, the mood and lore is 100% on point and the audio is some of the best that’s ever been. Really hoping for more games in this series, I’d love to see a greater variety of factions to fight and more intrigue in the future.

Not normally a fan of turn-based games. This, however, is an exception. It is so compelling in it’s atmosphere, sound design, and gameplay. The graphics are serviceable, but the art direction is immaculate; very true to the setting.
The story is not too notable, but the characters, and their interaction are well written. My only gripe is the difficulty for any of the default settings get pretty easy pretty quickly even on max difficulty. But, the difficulty is actually very customizable, from your starting resources, to perma-death, and weapon selection; so make it as difficult as you want.

Basic Info
Genre: Puzzle Game
Difficulty: Easy-Medium
Gameplay
Rating: 7/10
You are a robot tasked with removing ALL the boxes in the room.
To remove boxes you have to move them and match two, three or four boxes of the same color.
While this may sound simple enough, some levels have obstacles, making boxes harder to move and one wrong move might make a box impossible to more if you pushed it against a wall.
Luckily to have you have 5 “Undos”, which each will take you and the boxes you have moved back one move.

There is nothing hugely wrong with it, its got a good aesthetic, and its tried and tested sokoban play.
but Sokoban and its many, many clones are free, have thousands of levels, that get to maddening levels of difficulty.
This game costs 1.79, has 40 levels, and you can finish it in half an hour.
With more content it could have scraped by with a recommend, though I think even a good clone of Sokoban (which is over three decades old now) should have more mechanics and such to make it interesting.

Battlefleet Gothic: Armada

Rebus Forever here with another One Minute-ish (very ish) review for a strategy game, with spaceships, set in the 40k universe.
As a bit of a goth who likes spaceships, strategy and Games Workshop, I felt ethically and morally compelled to review Battlefleet Gothic, my massive throbbing bias aside, here goes.
Do you like Gothic cathedrals but wish they were better at flying?
Has your love of spaceships been impeded by their lacking crenellations and stained glass windows?

You know how if you’re on a ship for a few days, you can still feel the rocking of the ocean when you lie in your bed? Ironically, that’s how it feels to play Battlefleet Gothic: Armada. The controls are so fluid for naval combat that you can feel the ship rotations in your walk and the rumble of engines in your sleep. For that, the game gets a massive recommendation. 40k games often work like that. They have this wonderful quality where the scene setting is always perfect. The voices are on point, the UI is appropriately gothic, and the music makes you feel like you’re charging into the final battle of the 13th Black Crusade.

Overpass
Phew, what to even say about this game besides that it is amazing.
The art, the gameplay, the music. It all works together to create this concise but beautiful journey as you play through the original levels. Learning and mastering the game’s fundamental mechanics and the gameplay principle before inevitably showing up at the final level. (The game does a fairly good job of teaching you of this without any tutorials besides basic controls but this also mean that some people won’t pick up on certain things. It may be enough to ruin some people’s ride overall just cause the levels get too difficult for them. No there isn’t much to learn, it’s just the fact that
! the object’s position in lanes is correlated to their movement or positioning. This is taught in the Forest Region and used even more on the Plains Region. )

So I’ve been playing this game for a while now. Around 200 hours by the time I’m writing this review. Here are my thoughts
This is a casual rhythm game. If you’re a hardcore rhythm gamer like osu! Don’t expect this game to be hard as you think. Although you can make it hard as you wish.
The most common complaint I’ve heard is the obscured notes. And I actually see this as a good thing. It’s a rhythm game from a new perspective. Which the reason why it’s a casual rhythm game in the first place. It’s on the music, Not completely on the visuals. You have to have combine your sense of rhythm WITH visuals. Which most rhythm games often doesn’t do. It’s absolutely brilliant.

A very nice Physics game with simple mechanics but hard to master control!
A strong point for the game is the Level editor - you can create what ever you want the limit is your imagination.

Fermi’s Path

Tags: Casual - Runner
Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library
Tags: 4-lane tuberunner with dubstep. Slow pacing. The bullets do not destroy obstacles and the powerup lift is arguably ill designed. Play Redout instead.
Fermi’s path comes across as a unity engine runner with aspirations to have a lot of accessibility to a large swathe of player. The level design always consists of a tube with the only variation coming in with the placement of coins and powerups.

Runners usually please me, especially the science-themed ones like ‘Boson X’ or ‘The Collider’, but I don’t recommend this game for it is unfairly hard and generally dull, plus it has blurry textures and lags on weaker machines. It’s very difficult to assess right distances for your movement on that monotonous pathway you travel, there are no landmarks to judge it. Sometimes when the path bends you can’t even see the upcoming obstacles, so you’ll have to memorize the pre-made levels by heart. I shall hunt for achievements a bit, but I curse the devs already, Im so bored..

Bridge Constructor Portal
I write this review as someone who had played Portal, but who had never played any of the Bridge Constructor titles. (I knew that games like it were out there, but I was unaware that this wasn’t the first ‘Bridge Constructor’ title released.) As such, the bridge constructor game concept was new to me. It was the Portal tie-in that piqued my interest. If this is you, then this review will be more relevant.
I’ve always enjoyed titles like this that challenge the intellect, without a ‘timer’ on it. I want something that my mind can chew on for a while. Much like chess, you need to think many ‘moves’ ahead to develop your strategy. Furthermore, the game does rely on a knowledge of basic physics. You don’t need a PhD in physics to play, although it wouldn’t hurt… lol Seriously though, they do offer some basic physics tips to help understand how and why certain designs work better than others.

PolyBridge skills don’t fail me now
Oh the fun time building bridges so people can safely continue their travels. The trial and error it takes as you continue to test which parts work and which parts break under the pressure. Does each element work out for the better or will it cause people to die? And more importantly, will these vehicles be able to go through these portals?
When looking for a puzzle game that will test your mind constantly, you can’t go wrong with bridge construction games. With Bridge Construction Portal, this does not deviate with testing the mind. With the levels starting out easy to get the hang of things, each bridge jumps in difficulty throughout all 60 levels. The only difference between this and other bridge building games is the inclusion of Portal as instead of building a bridge that looks like everyday people would use when they travel, you’re in testing chambers. And instead of empty vehicles…well there may be people on them.
