Dreamhouse: The Game
Dreamhouse: The Game, is a game that allows you to get closer to the process of designing and building a house, from the foundations to buying flower pots. The task of the player is to take care of all the details necessary to finish the building. This seems to be easy and trouble-free at first glance, but in practice, difficult and important decisions will need to be made, which will affect the functionality of the property.
In the game, you play the role of a beginner construction engineer whose dream is to earn enough money to build your dream house and then build it himself. Lead the company from scratch, accepting orders for the general renovation of a ruined house, undeveloped land requiring leveling, excavation of house foundations, or the construction of a small hut in the forest up to a real hacienda on a sandy beach.
Some of the features of Dreamhouse: The Game
-
Multiplayer/online co-op mode – cooperate with your friends or compete with them online.
-
VR - Dive into the world of Dreamhouse. Discover VR from an unexpected perspective
-
Photo mode – build your home, photograph it, make an album/movie, and share it.
-
Community – boast about your construction, compare it with others on leaderboards.
-
Unique mechanics - import real objects & export real home projects to use in real life
-
Different surroundings - forest, town, village, beach and more
Every player once wondered, when the times will come when it will not be possible to recognize the graphics in the game from the real world. Perhaps the day has just come when you can see in the game the same things that you see in real life or buy in the store what you’ve created in the game.
Create the perfect place. Plant trees, shrubs, set stones, lanterns, fence, and kennel for the dog. If you want to see how the furniture from the store will look like at your home “borrow” them from Dreamhouse: The Game. Take a picture and throw it into the game. After a while you will see them in the house you’ve built. Maybe you plan to build a house in real life, but don’t have a project? Create it here, export it, print it out and you’re done. You have just created your first home project.
Do you think your customers will not know that you cut corners at work? Not a chance this time. An advanced Artificial Intelligence algorithm will evaluate the effects of your work. Style (e.g. classic, modern, Scandinavian, etc.), cost, speed, and precision will determine the rating of your actions. If you thought that building your dream house is easy… you thought wrong.
Now you want to build yourself a house. No problem. Do you want to build a beautiful, luxurious house, whose design you can copy in real life? So you have a long way to go. Firstly, you have to earn enough money in the game (orders, new every day, limited by time). Then master the basics of design, construction, electrical, and plumbing.
As it usually happens in life. Everything that can be built can be also destroyed. Are you a lousy designer? Take it into consideration that you will build the same house several times. On the guard of the perfection of houses in Dreamhouse: The Game stands Chaos technology. It’s because of it, if you screw up the house construction, the house will collapse. Wrong installations can lead to tensions, leaks, flooding, which can result in an impressive collapse of your dream house.

Before We Leave
I have personally been enjoying this game very much! I appreciate that I don’t need to worry about war or combat, nor must I consider the monetary value of my peoples (ie. slavery). It still can be challenging, and I was pleasantly surprised by the little challenges it throws your way (ex: the gremlins!). The aesthetic is very pleasing, and it isn’t very demanding graphically. I would definitely recommend this! I’ve written out some of my experiences and some tips! ♥
- The Tutorial -
Doing the tutorial is a good idea and I do recommend it, but the tutorial will take you through pretty much the whole game, or at least deep into the mid-game – this could literally be hours and hours lol. But I would suggest stopping after you have started to explore your second planet., then proceed to your own games.

Before we leave is one the best games I have played in a long time for getting right into the game and understanding what to do. It’s not because it’s easy or simple. It’s because of the amazing job they did with the tutorial system and explaining the basics of the game.

Corral
so you bought some chickens
getting roosters is tricky, but dev has introduced a button fo buy roosters
nav can be clunky but you get used to it.
sometimes the birds hide in your constructed objects.
but it is fun to watch your brood grow as you try to get the best chickens possible.
Some days the ladies are coguettish and the bachelors are limpid and the procreation takes a pause.
Some days the roosters are crowing and going and that’s when the feathers fly.
checkitout.

EDIT: I would now no longer recommend this game, I haven’t played it in a long time as it has sadly been abandoned by the developer, leaving promised improvements incomplete. It is a shame as I believe this game had real potential had the improvements been implemented and more content added.
I’m really enjoying this game so far, even though it is obviously still in the early stages of development. After several restarts I think I have finally mastered the basics and have figured out how to make my ranch reasonably profitable. I’m slowly but surely getting better equipment and working my way up to more exotic and profitable breeds. There are a few downsides, the controls seem a bit clunky as it can be hard to click exactly where you want to. It could also do with a more in depth tutorial but I’m sure this will all come in time as the dev seems very responsive to ideas on the forum. All in all a good game which I am having a lot of fun playing.

Reactor Tech²
A game about watching number rise. But what is life, if not watching the year count rise and your bank account dwindle?
Now, I’ve just finished my first “complete” playthrough and there are a few things I want to talk about. Let’s start with the most important: most of the negative reviews are old. The UI isn’t perfect but it’s not bad and same with the tutorial. In my entire playtime I’ve only found what I think was a bug once.
The artstyle, music and sound effects are gorgeous.
DO NOT buy this game expecting something similar to a city/base builder. Actually you build very few structures, and spend most of the time upgrading your existing buildings, changing the engineering cells and min-maxing the different configurations.

It has the marks of an interesting, fun little game, however…
Be warned:
it’s not really release-ready, regardless what they claim.
The game is full of annoying bugs and overlooked illogical elements, the controls are inconsistent, the whole thing is sorely in need of a UI/UX overview, it’s hard to navigate, hard to sort out what’s what.
Currently expansion is impossible, due to a heating issue.
And in my personal opinion it does not look good.
I’ll persist, maybe it’ll be a good game; currently it’s a beta, that’s not very playable.

Mining Empire: Earth Resources
Honestly, the thought process for the game is there but the execution was horrible.
It is also not optimized for widescreen, text, sliders, and buttons will be missing and unavailable.
total scam of $9

This is a day 1 review, and the question I am answering is on day 1, in it’s current state, do I recommend purchasing this game? Since this game is day 1, in early access, I will come back in a later time to review it again. This review is not final.
Pro’s:
An interesting premise
I really can’t think of much else
Cons:
No sound, no music. Just absolute silence.
Visuals are just a map and some stock pictures. If you are expecting more, ou won’t find it here.
I can’t even see where the fun will be at. (Will discuss further down below)

Present for Manager
Better than Monopoly.
– Real player with 2.4 hrs in game
Present for Manager is a simulation of a board game similar to Monopoly. It’s easy to learn. The AI is quite good, but I recommend local multiplayer for the true board game experience that tears families apart. ;D

Restaurant Empire II
I’ve played Restaurant Empire II off and on over many years (counting that the first game is included in II). When buying REII you get the full original RE game included.
The graphics are basic, the AI of customers and staff very limited, and the interface clunky in that you have to do a lot manually and one by one - for example you have to add recipes individually to the restaurant menu. But. I find it strangely compelling to try to get my chef up to 100% skill levels in as many recipes as possible, moving him between cuisines to round off his skills.
– Real player with 238.5 hrs in game
As a fan of the first Restaurant Empire game, at first I was disappointed with this one. A lot of the animations are the same, and this game adds coffee and dessert shops, so you have customers eating sandwiches and cookeis with forks and knives. Also, all the customers are talking on cell phones and using laptops now, which is annoying when you’re waiting for a chance to click on them. I actually quit the game for a long time because of these irritations.
However, I recently came back to it and I’m glad I did. It’s a lot of fun as a strategy game, and still fun just to tinker around with the restaurants and watch the chefs cook. The first game lacked female chefs, aside from Delia, but this time there are plenty of them, and that’s a welcome change too. The game isn’t very difficult, but it has some challenge to it, and it’s hard to find challenging strategy games these days.

Wildlife Park 2 - Marine World
Honestly, this is so worth the money. All of the separate “packs” of this game are fairly cheap. I personally find the missions super entertaining. At times it gets tedious to wait for income, but overall I can and will play for hours on end. Went into the game hoping it would be exactly like Zoo Tycoon; though it isn’t really the same, I found a whole different fun to it!!
– Real player with 45.8 hrs in game
The Wildlife Marine World I think is probably my favorite from the bundle that I bought of all the wildlife games.
It has all the normal animals that you find plus more marine creatures and I think a Mermaid that costs 25000000 lol of whatever money it is in these worlds.
You also get to set out a scuba diving scooter and a submarine to keep your visitors happy.
It’s a lot of fun if you don’t want anything too taxing and your in a creative mood. :)
