Alien AI
Keep in mind this is an “early access” game being developed by the good folks at GridSkyGames. This is pretty much a “cat and mouse” game between you and A.I. drones. Having to navigate areas in search for items all the while your food, water and health bar tick down. With limited resources to replenish those bars. At first glance I had issues with some of the mechanics, mostly getting stuck on just about everything. Since the patch game play has felt better, not sure if game mechanics were improved or if I just choose to avoid getting close to anything. The graphic are good complete with atmosphere effects. The voice actress is good but the script still needs a rewrite to pull the player into the story more. This is a game were quick thinking strategy comes into play. You won’t have time for waiting or walking and barely any time for a look around. Be quick enough and you’ll make it to the A.I. base where you’ll lend a hand to the evil A.I. demise.

ROM: Extraction
ROM’s gameplay offers a pretty unique twist on the VR shooter in that you’re not using your gun to target and kill enemies so much as using it to shoot explosive orbs that you throw and detonate near them. You do this by activating a “reflex” mode that slows down time allowing you to target your orbs with precision, giving you the ability to take out several foes with a well thrown and detonated orb.
The core mechanics are very solid and well implemented, the graphics are among some of the best I’ve seen in VR (I’d put them in the same league as Raw Data), and the soundtrack fits the fast-paced gameplay perfectly.

ROM: Extraction is a really fun game once you get the hang of it! DO NOT PLAY IT ONCE AND GIVE UP!!!
I see a lot of other reviews here talking about the “amount of content”. I think those people are not understanding what kind of game this is. It’s an ARCADE style shooter. The point is to replay it over and over to try to get a better score AND to have fun with it, doing trick shots and overall just enjoying the game mechanic for what it is.
Anyone here that said they “beat” the whole game in 12 minutes are idiots. No you didn’t, you just played each level at each difficulty once and thought that’s it. The first few times I played it was hard, I was throwing orbs and slowing to shoot, but it seemed like i was surfing the line between total chaos and being in control.

Spaceland: Sci-Fi Indie Tactics
Spaceland review
Quick Review: Spaceland is a surprisingly fun game with some fun surprises, but only if you crank up the difficulty. It’s a very simple and straight forward turn-based strategy experience. The simplicity and bare-bones nature of the early game might turn players away. But those who stick with it will be rewarded with a bit more of a robust game than what initially meets the eye.
Important Note**:
First and foremost, you have to set the difficulty to the hardest setting: Normal. I played through the game on this difficulty, so my review is based on this. But I did replay the last two levels on Easy just to collect a couple things, and it was an absolute snore. You can play sloppy and rush decisions with no repercussions. There is just no challenge on Easy, meaning no strategy, meaning no game. In my opinion, Easy mode reduces Spaceland from a game to a “series of actions”. Please play it on Normal.

I had fun with it. It is 28 levels and I completed it in 16 hours with 100% achievements. I wouldn’t say it is casual, since the missions get pretty tough (on Normal, which is the highest difficulty). You start with only 1 person in the squad and that increases as you find more people. However, eventually you can’t bring everyone on each mission so you need to pick the team that is best suited. Some (or all) of the slots will be locked into specific members.
There are 2 upgrades, equipment (weapons and armor) and abilities. You need cash for equipment and chips for abilities. Each mission has a set of objectives, which gets you cash and chips. However, you only get the bonus the first time you complete them in a mission. You can replay missions for missed objectives, or to grind cash (killing monsters always gives cash). They also added daily missions in, that you can run to get more chips and cash (one per day).

Galactic Core: The Lost Fleet (VR)
When I buy an early access game, I’m willing to accept a couple of issues that need to be worked out, provided that the devs are active and open to feedback. The devs of this game are really working hard on this game, and will reply to players who have useful feedback or issues. That alone is worth giving this game from an indie developer a shot, and supporting their efforts. It certainly feels better to spend $15 on this game which is being worked on constantly than it does giving it to a bigger developer who really doesn’t care what you think so long as they get your money.

Defense Grid: The Awakening
Allow me my conceit.
DG is the best video game I have ever played, and many of you reading this could my grandkids friends.
I usually avoid pronouncements. I avoid posting comments even more, but DG is so special, so rare, I must share with you why you should buy it.
Check how many hours I have invested in this love affair. I still play every week. I invite you to check older posts from pre-2010 to see how this game enveloped not just me but a whole community being introduced to tower defense for the first time, not to mention veterans of the genre.

Tower security entertainments are a dime twelve on the Internet, which is a touch of an adornment generally as in most by a long shot of them are permitted to-play, so paying 10 pennies would be unnecessary overabundance. Still, it’s not stunning that tower shield entertainments are so celebrated; done successfully they can be an addictive time suck, draining without end the hours as you try to set up a defensive system that can withstand everything the PC hurls at it. With these free preoccupations out there, can’t avoid being there space for a premium tower security diversion? Covered Path Entertainment advances a persuading resistance with Defense Grid: The Awakening, a $20 redirection that offers a great deal of tense minutes and significantly more significance than an ordinary tower monitor diversion.

Mrs.Cat In Mars
Very fun, innovative mechanics and well balanced levels, the music is very nice and the cat is very cute and I recommend it for anyone who likes a good precision platform game
– Real player with 1.9 hrs in game
In general the game is quite enjoyable but something I consider a huge disadventage is controls. Jumping in some cases requires absurd precision, also maybe it’s just me but moving platforms are a huge pain. This two problems make “catrunner” achivment a terrible experiance.
If you are looking for a nice, cheap, short platforming game than this game is for you, but it’s nothing in compare to Celest or N-game2 (it’s free, not on Steam)
Also the cat is cute

Outwars
Awesome! never thought i’d get to play this again, a real nostalgia rush
– Real player with 3.9 hrs in game
I was quite excited to see this game in Steam as this formed my childhood memories from PC gaming. It saddens me to give this game a negative review but I cant recommend this game with good conscience as it is plagued with technical issues.
-
Menu’s work very poorly with mouse which I find odd as the original had good mouse support.
-
Cutscene’s don’t play video, only audio.
-
Game crashes often, even in compatibility mode.
-
For old game like this getting re-released one would expect certain modern fixes (resolution for one.) Game’s max resolution is only 640x480. (I could overlook this if not for all other problems)
