Totemlands
If you’ve been playing other crafting games and keep saying to yourself “hmm, it could use a little ‘zazz. Maybe a sense of humour, too,” then this is shaping up to be the game you’ve been hoping for.

Casual crafting game with a unique, well developed theme that doesn’t feel like a rehash of other games. You can play at your own pace and spend a few days decorating with no consequences. Active Dev using feedback from the community. Currently inventory management and running speed are the biggest constraints of the game, but the Dev has plans for improvements on both. Fully playable game with few bugs, what EA is supposed to be, worth it as the current price.

Lamp Chronicle
This game has serious potential , but in its current state needs some heavy polishing from the developer.
It has great art, a lot of very nicely drawn enemies with different patterns, a pretty decent soundtrack that blends really well with the environment. However:
A)the combat feels off and can be improved with some changes. For example dashing and dodging are purchased as perks from an npc and you can actually get them after some hours only to find out that dashing sends you straight onto an enemy losing 2 hearts as a result, while dodging is pretty much useless as you roll backwards and not forward. The only option to get behind an enemy is to jump over it, which is impossible in most boss fights. In order to attack you remain stuck in a place and can’t move which is quite bad given enemies run into you and you can’t keep them away. There isn’t any air time when attacking a flying enemy, so you can only land a single or 2 hits at most per jump. Also no ability to turn around at the spot, as well as zero recovery time after taking a hit.

Pros:
-Cute, lovely graphics/setting
-Many abilities to choose from although they are slow to unlock. At 50% completion I only had 3 active abilities.
Cons:
-Unpolished controls, weak core move set.
-Uneven pacing, progression and lots of backtracking.
-Environmental hazards are more dangerous than enemies, the game plays more like a bullet hell game than a platformer.
-There’s little strategy to the fights. No blocking is possible and the dodge move is useless. You just soak damage and heal yourself.

MewnBase
The Survival-Crafting polar opposite of Don’t Starve. It’s a gentle and relaxing sci-fi survival game - deaths are rare and usually only the result of overextending yourself (e.g. being away from base too long and running out of oxygen or food).
Although at this stage of development (April 2020) there isn’t much content, it’s very stable, rare bugs, with consistent, high quality art assets - it doesn’t have the rough “beta” feel of many other early access games.
Good:
- Fairly casual/relaxing survival game, with tech tree/research based progression.

MewnBase is a cool little survival crafting game about a cat.. in a space suit.. driving a buggy on another planet. What’s not to like :)
The default day/night cycle is quite relaxing to play, although you DO have to work to get food and maintain your base.
Oxygen levels drain fast once you start exploring and so is the contents of your stomach or the power levels of your suit when you enable your headlight.
While there isn’t that much to do compared to the more known games in this genre, it certainly is entertaining. Slowly expand your base, research upgrades, grow some crops and try to automate things to make life easier. By the end, you’re speeding around in a buggy, with or without additional trailers to pick up more goods.

Dino Hazard: Chronos Blackout
Gorgeous prehistoric animal designs ! It’s good to see proper paleoart in a game that isn’t a walking simulator for once.
The dog was kind of annoying, but thankfully not for long ;^)

This review was made after completing the Beta.
Even at this stage Dino Hazard shows a lot of potential. The games setting and story are so far very interesting and while not 100% original, the more derivative elements are used in the best possible way rather then as a crutch. Do not be turned off by the games retro aesthetic, it’s very fun and runs smoothly. In fact it I rate it far more highly then maybe 99% of the Dinosaur games on steam.
This is a retro style rpg, you have the ability to explore an open world plus interior areas (which in themselves are pretty big) collecting items and solving puzzles. The enemies in this game are vary varied, including not just dinosaurs but a whole host of prehistoric life from multiple eras as well as several types of robot. The combat is turn based, in the same vain as EarthBound. Your characters are not visible on screen and the enemy sprites are static. When you attack sometimes an animation such as hand swinging a knife will appear, as a nice touch the weapon in the characters hand will change depending on what has been equipped. Despite combat’s simple animation, things can still get very tense and you will have to learn your enemies weaknesses in order to make things easier. Some aspects of combat are rather simple, others are a bit more complex but it’s not that hard to figure out. My one and only complain is that enemy attack turns can go by very quickly, making it a bit confusing as to what happened, but to balance that out not once did I feel things were being unfair.

METAL DOGS
Someone made a game based on the comic “We 3” and that makes me so happy 3
EDIT: If you like games that you can grind at and listen to podcasts atst, this is a great addition to that kind of game, much like Book of Demons.

Currently this game is fun for about 10-20 mins. I love the concept and almost Diablo II like gameplay in portions of it and it has potential to be quite good… but a lot of work is needed to make this a game worth $30.
I would say in the games current state it feels like a $5 game that you could spend an hour or 2 enjoying before you put it down and walk away from it forever.
Lots of issues with this game (most of which I would overlook if it was multiplayer…. but it’s not)
PROS:
- Game has potential to be an awesome game of dodging and timing attacks and customizing weapons

The Kingdom of Gardenia
This game is fast becoming my oppertunity for escapism every eveningafter my little one goes to bed! there are mysteries and puzzles to solve like the caves and the meadow along with gardening and landscaping similar to Garden Inc and Ranch Rush. I love all the different characters in the game and trying to figure out their likes and dislikes too alongside an intriguing story line in the game. I really enjoyed how to make different foods with different ingredients and the variety of plants and trees are so colourful and bright. I was really impressed in how fluid the main character moves around the various screens and interacts with different objects easily with really easy controls to use in the game. overall a really great game!

This game is so cute! It took me a little while to figure out what to do but once the visitors started arriving I really got into it. I enjoyed talking to them, plantign flowers and trees for them and cooking their favourite food, would definitely recommend to people who enjoy games like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley.

Be Hero
Very chill and fun game, you can spend hours in it without realising. If you enjoy farming and relaxing games like Stardew Valley, Graveryard Keeper or Harvest Moon, you’ll love this one. Soundtrack is really good and envolving, the art is absolutey CUTE :3 plus the dialogues and sceneries are full of funny references.
It’s still in early access so keep in mind that there’s a lot more content to come! The developers are always uploading bug fixes and new paches and they are also very communicative with the community, they take into consideration a lot of suggestion of the players.
– Real player with 31.4 hrs in game
this is a chill game, if you are a content creator on twitch or other, it is perfect to play while interacting with chat, if you like farm style, like stardew or haverstmoon,i highly recommend, take the game and just have fun, keep in mind that the game is only in early access, the developers are working hard on the game.
I was able to test before the early access, all suggestions and other things that i reported to them are taken into account.
If u’re going to play, I hope u love It as I did, and remember It’s still an early access so there’s much more to come!
