Logistics Simulator
so along with some bugs and lack of directions i’m finding this game a challenge to play. i figured out how to get to warehouse level. but right now i have no clear understanding what to do next to progress in this game. so i guess i just experiment til it seems i have the right employees and my warehouse seems somewhat organized. no tutorial right now being as it played my first game and now is non existant.

I HAVE A EXTREMELY DETAILED REVIEW IN GAME DISCUSSIONS

Mad Games Tycoon 2
Let me start this off by saying I love this game and I will continue to monitor the progress, and I will change my review along the way. I am a long fan of MGT series and I decided to support the developer by buying EA game which I usually NEVER do.
However… There are really really BIG issues for me. Before I do get into it I have to say one more thing, english isn’t my native language and I apologize in advance because I will have to write longer to make a point that I could have probably made in one sentence.

TLDR
Pros: Good flow / pacing - Very minimal game breaking bugs - Nice relaxing game
Oks: Some amazing core concepts, but could be taken further - Art / Assets work well, but could use further refining - Each room has it’s own purpose, but some less ‘needed’ than others - Actual construction is well thought out, but the grid can feel too large in places and no ‘clone room’ feature - Random events happen, some of which are utterly pointless depending on the year / progress of the studio

Ruin
I’m only 4 hours in. The game is in the earliest form of alpha it could possibly be in. I personally love to watch games develop into something and even take part in the community that helps direct what the game turns into.
That being said it is rough, it has a long way to go until it becomes a fully playable game but it has a ton of potential with a runescape/rimworld feel. I like the base of what the game is and look forward to the progression of the game.
If your into early access games, you can’t really beat it for the price. Especially if the developer continues the project and puts the work that’s needed.

A Little Shop in Squirrel Town
It’s a mixture of Recettear and Harvest Moon. It’s a very relaxing/your own pace type of game.
Not complicate and very simple/easy game. Have a lot of activities to do in game.
Grow crops, fish, explore dungeons, unlock crafting recipes (cooking/armor/weapon/accessory), and sell them at your shop.
Collect monster cubs from dungeons for as livestocks for loot. Each type gives different loot.
Level up your fairy to help in dungeon (kinda stupid as it attacks the direction you’re facing, if you’re running away then it doesn’t work that well)

Its a sweet little game. You can grow/collect/buy items and sell it. The artstyle is very sweet. I realy like it.
Best things:
-
The devs answer very quick and improve the game asap.
-
The price of the game is realy low if you think about all the work it takes to make such a game.
Gabb the games as long as you can get it so cheap! :)

Fast Food Manager
Absolutely awesome so far, enough to keep you busy to start with. love the way you need to go buy your product/equipment and set up first before you open. Funny characters, easy to use controls, highly recommended for those who like to roam the streets but also work a business at the same time. Looking forward to the first updates :-)

Simple but very fun. I’ve missed these type of games. I’m looking forward to future updates, like furnishing your apartment, more challenging food combos, wider assortment of goods you can buy and use in your businesses, like higher prices, better quality etc… or even maybe more managerial approach with businesses where you’ve hired workers. Great little game overall!

Game Dev Masters
TLDR: Worth the price (even if I didn’t pay for it, I would’ve) and then some. Super cool Developer that has listened to feedback and implemented suggested changes.
So you’ll see from my account I rarely review games, mainly because I don’t feel that my opinion matters much when people are choosing games as I tend to play differently from most players so I just don’t bother. However, in this instance, I’ve had first hand experience of speaking 1 on 1 with a small games developer and I know the work they have put into this game deserves any help any player of their game could do to help boost its visibility and or sales.

This game is addicting. I know nothing about developing games and I’m honestly a little confused in this game BUT I am learning and having fun in the process! Played the Demo for free for a few hours and purchased the EA version a few nights ago. Making each game is, for me, a fun process.. learning how to “train” myself to make games, figuring out how to make a hit (not quite there yet at master level), trying not to bankrupt my own company… love the challenges! Failed my company a few times but starting over each time has taught me how to progress in this game farther, faster!

NIMBY Rails
For a game that is only £13.49, you can’t argue with the amount of packed content for price. After paying this fee, I expected the game to be sluggish, boring, and lacking of content (bought as I was bored looking for a new game) but boy was I wrong… 933 hours play time, 56,388km (35,037 miles) of track laid, 102 lines created, 358 trains purchased later, I was able to create approximately 85-90% of the entire UK rail network, and I’m still building it 6 months later!! It has simply been an IMMENSE project that has completely submerged me with my free time.

This is a game for a very specific audience. In the real world, I’m a transportation planner, and I’m that audience.
It’s simple and so complex. Lines on a map. These are train lines. But it uses a real world map and if you know anything about building infrastructure, then you know you can’t just point a train line from point A to point B and call it a day. (Actually you can, in tunnels, but that gets very expensive! If you don’t start with sandbox mode, you’re not building any subways from the start.) Surface lines have to be bridged over streets (game does that automatically) and viaducted over large bodies of water.

Rise of Hegemony
Rise of Hegemony is a strategy game inspired by great games such as Civilization and Victoria. Triumph over your neighbours by successfully managing your country economically, diplomatically and militarily. The path to global hegemony is up to you.
-
Subdue your enemies by pure military force.
-
Forge alliances and diplomatic pacts to be part of an unstoppable coalition.
-
Educate your people to eclipse your rivals technologically.
-
Become an economic powerhouse and make other nations dependant on your resources.
In-depth economy
Rise of Hegemony features an in-depth economical system where every province contains a discrete number of people that all need resources to survive and thrive. Lacking access to sufficient amounts of critical goods such as food will cause your population to starve. Without access to weaponry your soldiers will be woefully unprepared to face enemies in battle. Trading with other countries is important, being dependant on them is perilous.
Build up your country
Starting as a fledgling country the way you want to conduct yourself on the world stage is up to you. Acting peacefully and benevolent has its benefits, but sometimes a more warlike approach is a quicker way to achieve your goals…
Randomly generated worlds
Even with the same strategy every game can take a vastly different course when the world looks different and countries will develop distinctively depending on their starting conditions.
Moddability
Rise of Hegemony leaves a lot of room for mods to expand on the game. Do you prefer to focus on a certain time period? Perhaps a fantasy setting is more to your liking? The possibilities for alternative scenarios are plenty!
Winkeltje: The Little Shop
This is a great little shop management game!
I look forward to seeing how it develops over its time in Early Access.
Things done great:
- The villager AI is spot on! I haven’t had anyone get stuck in my store. I also like how the expectations of the customers seems to align with the items your store offers over time. I was worried when I moved away from produce toward a tailor that customers would’t get the picture, but after a couple of days they stopped hounding me for apples!

This game is a gem, plain and simple. It’s made for a very narrow spectrum of gamers though, you’ll probably know if it’s for you by just looking at the screenshots and reading the description, but I encourage everyone who is even a little intrigued or who enjoys relaxing sandbox style games to give this game a shot. Everything you see and read about it is what you’ll get when you buy this game. Nothing more, nothing less. If you bought this game and don’t like it, it’s because you didn’t pay attention or had unfounded and unrealistic expectations.

Ancient Worlds: Egypt
This is a well done game like the old Pharaoh and Zeus type games. It is still being worked on but fun to play and mess around with!
– Real player with 5.2 hrs in game
Looks like a nice easy to learn game. Thought it might be a smoother version of those ‘Impressions’ games. But it’s not. !!
The tutorial is impossible. You need to prevent disease spread with an apothecary……..But it’s missing !!…So all your buildings collapse every minute. You rebuild them and they collapse again… Totally ridiculous.
A HUGE thumbs down from me. Waste of money.
If it gets fixed i may review again. For now….Avoid at all costs.
