Plasticalypse - Submarine Adventures
This early access game has a huge map and amazing sountrack. The combat is pretty simple, you have torpedos and a lazer gun, that shoots more rapidly, but deals less damage. In this underwater game, there are several enemies. You are going to mainly fight huge fishes and pirates. Some are harder to kill than others because of their small size and quick movement. This game also has ship improvement and diplomatic relationship mechanics. To upgrade your ship, you need to find resaurces on the map, that may take a while to do. The map is huge and dark and from time to time I found myelft lost in mountains while searching for resources. I hope that this game is going to be updated regulary, adding new mechanics and more stuff to do in this massive world.

Awesome atmosphere and has great potential to become a thrilling post apocalyptic game with original idea.
Very stable for an early release. I can’t wait for improved NPC’s and other exiting news. For this price it is almost a steal!

Underwater Wars
Awesome game, very relaxing and nostalgic if you like xcom terror from the deep. Easy to learn, still in early access so they’ll add more skirmish maps soon. I love skirmish mode. Take your time and enjoy some underwater combat.

TLDR: Despite its uncommon setting, this tactical game is dogged by uninspired design. The poor voice over, boring missions and absence of narrative cripple it in a competitive and already crowded genre.
I’ve always had a soft spot for seafaring type games, be they on the surface (Pirates, Sunless Sea) or beneath it (Terror from the deep), so I originally had high hopes for Underwater Wars. Unfortunately I have never reviewed a game where I could only find one good point to highlight…
- Turn-based submarine combat, and the underwater setting

Exploring the unknown, In Other Waters places the player from the perspective of an AI helping to guide xenobiologist Ellery Vas after she was called to planet Gliese 677Cc by her colleague, Minae Nomura. What she discovers is for the player to find out. The game is minimalistic yet beautiful, stowed away in a world that rests entirely in the imagination of the player, aside from some of Ellery’s research sketches, a topographic map that you explore, and also simplistic representations of the life within the oceans of this planet. Moving around within restricted vector points on the map, you will uncover the story in bits and pieces, every bit driving you to try to find out some more.

Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade
Great port with one glaring omission: the lack of 4:3 resolution support. Running the game in full screen on my 4:3 monitor results in letterboxed 16:9, which causes two significant issues:
-
Darius Gaiden cannot be played in true fullscreen at its native aspect ratio. You can either play in stretched letterboxed 16:9, or in letterboxed-and-pillarboxed 4:3. No matter what, it won’t fill the screen.
-
Multi-monitor mode for the games that support it cannot be correctly lined up and scaled, because the “seams” of the screens don’t correspond with the monitor resolutions. Stretching the game past the internal boundaries of the game resolution just results in the image being cropped, even though there is screen space there; said screen space is just black. I presume this is also an issue on multi-monitor 16:9 displays.

EDIT: It’s been almost a week and nothing regarding possible issues is coming, kinda scared they aren’t saying anything about it, not recommending until they at least give words for the issues on the port (That is, if M2 stops reposting Senjin Aleste Fanart in their goddamn Twitter…)
The price is quite excessive if they don’t fix these issues (It’s 2021, these issues shouldn’t be there in the first place, no, “M2 is not experienced with PC, that’s why BASIC stuff happened” is not an excuse).
Not a perfect port, but it’s been less than 2 days since it was released.

Retreat To Enen
About The Game
Retreat To Enen is an open world, survival game featuring foraging, gathering, fishing, crafting meditation and exploration. The game is set in 3600 C.E. After humanity had brought itself to the brink of extinction, a new society has formed. This society has a new reverence for nature and the Earth’s environment. As a rite of passage, you are sent to the legendary island of Enen to live off the land, increase your connection to nature, and become more mindful.
Mindfulness
We have consulted with multiple mental health professionals throughout the process to ensure that the game is providing the most relaxing and engaging survival experience possible. Throughout the island the player will find meditation points that will take them on guided meditations, and breathing exercises that will unlock new items to craft.
Open World
Enen is a large island that you will need to explore to locate new mediation points and gather enough resources to build their perfect camp. The island includes beautiful tropical beaches, lush forests, and breathtaking underwater environments. The dynamic weather system, day night cycle, and interactive foliage will fully immerse you in the world of Enen.

Everything you need to survive can be found on the island. Start with basic traps and foraging and eventually travel the island by kayak, sleep in a large hut with an indoor fireplace, and even soak in your hand crafted hot tub.
