Zombie Simulator
I was really pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this game - especially given it’s low price. I played with the Steam Controller and found the partial support a little frustrating at times (I switched back to keyboard for a couple of precision jumps) but overall it didn’t really impact the gameplay. The graphics are good enough for what the game is and the swarming of the zombie horde is very nice. Of course, it would be nice to have more than twelve levels but for £0.79 who can complain - the levels that are there have some nice variations on the basic theme. I like it. I like it a lot. It’s a nice way to unwind if you have a few minutes to spare and some tensions to release ;)

In summary, I can’t recommend Zombie Simulator, it’s a good concept that’s weighed down by overly simplified gameplay and repetitive objectives. It lacks challenge, engagement, and fun - with no replayability, there’s little reason to pick it up.

I bought this game on the Steam release sale (10% off). While I can’t say that I feel I got my money’s worth, I also can’t quite give a negative review. Consider this a neutral recommendation. There’s lots of things to like about this, but there seems to be an equal amount of things not to like.
This is a sci-fi escape room. If you’re expecting a puzzle experience like in The Room VR: A Dark Matter, then you will be sorely disappointed. This game lacks the production values, polish, & the amazing puzzle design (along with good hint system) in the The Room. Instead, you have puzzles that are open-ended and you have to find the right item or the correct code and figure out how to use them or pair them with another clue.

The Devs have listened to feedback and added smooth turning and other control options, very good.
The game itself consists of a quite a few puzzles that are difficult to understand or outright confusing unless you’ve done them before. I don’t feel rewarded for finishing them, rather annoyed at the solution. I often found myself making progress only to be faced with yet another puzzle, and thinking “What was the point of that last one?” or “Why am I here?”
It lacks direction or explanation for why I’m doing any of the things I’m doing. Am I supposed to be doing this? Is the game glitched or have I just not found the correct solution? There’s just no indication of what I should be doing.

Trump VS Covid: Save The World Clicker
This game sucks and borderline unplayable. The mechanics don’t work and instead of fixing his game he just release PAID DLC cheats that speed everything up with the most expensive being $20~ AUD. RIDICULOUS! AVOID!

A clicker game that states, “You won’t stuck waiting for more income. There is always something you can build or upgrade” …that punishes you for clicking, by throttling/stopping your income if you click too much?
…and even when your income is coming in, there is definitely not always something to do.
The game is what it is, which isn’t all bad, but the more I reread the description, the more I ask myself…why state things that just aren’t true?
Also…no window mode? Sigh

Isolation Story
I received a copy of this game from the dev to Let’s Play it and I really enjoyed my time with it. This is a survival game heavily inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic where you need to survive for 7 days until a vaccine can be created and deployed.
You’ll need to manage your character’s health, hunger and happiness. It’s oddly addictive and has a surprising amount of stuff to do given how small the city is. Including tons of achievements to try and complete, and even a way to time travel.
