Pandemic by Prisms
Learn By Solving Real-World Problems
Have you ever wondered how scientists developed strategies to limit the impact of the 2020 pandemic on human lives and health systems?
Pandemic by Prisms is an immersive algebra learning game that builds lasting fluency with exponential functions and allows you to apply algebraic thinking to one of the most important problems today - the global pandemic. While it does not deal with the science behind pandemics, it is designed to equip you with foundational algebra skills to understand how to make informed decisions about a critical public health issue.

Factory Manager Simulator
I like most DNA games… This one looks great, controls you have to get use to but feel good after.. Lots of promise if it gets updated.
You buy machines, buy raw resources, then sell products.. Simple! But prices need to be better balanced. if you can sell metal plate and metal rod for $150 each and it takes one of each to make a chair that sells for $250, you are loosing money ($50) right off..
The game is fun for the first 10 to 20 minutes. then you sit and wait.. and wait.. and wait… then buy more raw materials and maybe, if the prices are good, sell some products you produced…

EDIT: So my Review has been flagged for a “Pre-Release” yet the Game was released on the 12th, same date this Review was done, and I last played it when it was on the Market to be purchased".
Oh boy, where to start… I like DNA Games, Trader Life by far has the most potential, but even things like Factory Runner, it’s as clunky as a broken cog trying to turn, but still a great concept and neat to play. I’ll always defend Developers where I see fit, and have done so with DNA on many occasions… however, I can’t defend this release…

Scrapping Simulator
This game is in early access so, you unlock all the available features quickly. As you may have guessed, this game is about disassembling eWaste for scrap materials. You can then sell the scrap directly or spend the time to melt them down to ingots for a bigger profit. Eventually, the world will be much more open and new features are coming.
I’ve logged a lot of extra hours figuring out many of the ins and outs of different processes. I enjoy the “grindy” aspects of this game and look forward to how they’ll adapt to user input.

Ardarium
nice world/weather/civ simulator.
Enjoyable to just watch
– Real player with 47.4 hrs in game
For a couple of dollars it’s a worthwhile experience. Just turn it on and let it go while you are working or doing something else and occasionally note how the world is changing.
I would like to see some more options to adjust the frequency of events or even turn some of them off, but even without them it’s fairly entertaining.
Quick warning: If you set the tiles to 40x40 it can take a toll on your frame rate. If that bothers you for this type of game (slow panning, laggy gameplay, etc.) you’ll want to keep it below 900 tiles^2

Builder Simulator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/914010/Train_Station_Renovation/
Builder Simulator is the perfect game for those who want to build a house, from the ground up, one brick at a time. On easy, the game will guide you step by step and allow you to learn by showing you full instruction, but on hard you will get no help - instead rely on your builder skills and make everything yourself.
Builder Simulator will let you:
-
Create your own projects - build houses, shops and industrial buildings.
-
Use different tools - use specialist equipment as it’s meant to be.
-
Take care of building materials - do not let the construction site run out of materials needed for work.
-
Create your own materials - Mix water and cement to create concrete, but make sure your proportions are right.
-
Do It Yourself - do everything yourself, don’t worry about incompetent workers messing your work up.
Cafe Owner Simulator: Prologue
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1662230/Cowboy_Life_Simulator_Prologue/
In Cafe Owner Simulator: Prologue - you can test your skills on three levels, 2 on order and one level - your own restaurant.
In the full version of the game, you will have many opportunities and ways to develop your business, as well as more tasks to complete, tools to use, and more.
The most important feature of Cafe Owner Simulator is the ability to “build” a restaurant business from 0. You get an old room from your father, and you decide to open a dream restaurant there. But it takes money. You decide to take work on order, for restoration, cleaning and putting someone else’s restaurant business in order. After each task, you can invest in your institution.
Renovate the building and remove all the trash, paint the walls, renovate the floors and ceilings, create an interior that will appeal to you and your future clients. Create a menu of dishes, hire employees, buy groceries, shape the style of your establishment, mood and order advertising from bloggers and the press.
We try to create a variety of possibilities in the game, so you won’t get bored! You will have to pay bills, extinguish fires, repair faulty equipment, poison cockroaches and other pests, hire security guards to keep homeless and drunkards out of the restaurant.
When you complete tasks, the level of your establishment will grow, and you will be able to expand it, complete additional premises, open the second floor and much more. What establishment will you open?
Drone VR
I’ve owned a drone for a long time. Only flew it like three times, though. This fulfills my need to fly a drone without any of the downsides of flying a real one (FAA licenses, guidelines, battery life, crashing…) I’ve always wanted to fly a drone in first person, which this game lets me do perfectly. I love having different drones to fly, I can only hope that the dev/s add more as time goes on. The different control schemes come in very handy (no pun intended), I’m used to the FPS style of movement in a game (left stick WASD, right stick mouse), so scheme 3 is my favorite so far. I haven’t played the game for very long, but I can tell that it’s going to be played a TON! The one thing I can think of to ask is can we please customize the pilot? It would be really cool to look at someone we created from a drone’s perspective. All in all, I’m grinning from ear to ear. If you have VR and are curious about drones, but can’t get into them for some reason, PICK THIS UP! Sorry, about the emphasis, but I’m that thrilled with this simulator. My score as of right now: 10000/10. Great job, hope to see more.

‘Drone VR’ is a virtual simulation of a handful of different drones with a view to getting you to feel how they handle before trying your flying skills out on the real thing and crashing thousands of pounds worth of drone. There are 8 drones to play within 8 different environments so to be fair you do get a good amount of content for your money. While the handling of the drones is nothing like how they feel in real life you do get to play around and experiment a little with each of them. Maybe try some slow movements or practice getting a slow-moving walking shot, things like that. I just flew about like a madman and I enjoyed it, so I give it the thumbs up, just don’t go into this expecting much. Its a bit of fun for a small price and nothing more.
