Exoplanet: First Contact
UPDATE below the original review, 23+ hours in the game
I currently have close to 9.4 hours in the game, and I’m at the current ‘end.’ As such, I’ll provide my thoughts thus far:
1st question most ask, is it worth buying? In its current state, at 10 hours of gameplay, that’s a tough sell, but having a chance to perhaps have some input on how the final product turns out may be the tipping point for some.
I’ve had fun. I’ve thought about this game between sessions, which is usually a good indicator that it’s interesting enough, even in its current Alpha state, to keep me guessing. I really hope this winds up as a completed project (have seen a few Alphas sputter and die, let this not be one!)

What if Firefly and Mad Max had a Western themed love child…?
Add in a healthy dollop of Fallout and you’d be looking at Exoplanet: First Contact a real find for those of you lucky enough to stumble across it’s store page.
At the moment - Update 7, mid Jan 2018 - sadly almost nobody has heard of this early access gem. This game is a serious sleeper. It’s a clever, novel concept, the gameplay and the story suck you in from the beginning. I’ve seen criticism of the graphics in other reviews but I guess that was prior to the last update because the desert looks great to me.

Nuke Land
Nuke Land is a huge open world with dozens of cities and settlements. As you travel you will meet many enemies, both human and mutated insects. Weapons in Nuke Land are the main argument, but there are not many of them left. However, you can find a weapons craftsman. He will help you restore and upgrade weapons. You have a variety of activities: trade, work as a mercenary, racketeering and other monkey business. Choose what you want to be: a mercenary or a merchant; the mayor of a forlorn village or decide to conquer all the towns and proclaim a new state.

Devoul- Curse of the Soulless
Good story
– Real player with 1.0 hrs in game
A game to congratulate. The main character pulls you into the game either by the playability or with the story. The scenarios are diverse and wake up your attention - the music also. You can “play” with the time of the game and stay by the small games and quests inside of it. It’s fun. I love it.
I miss the times when games were made to leave something to the player. I miss games like this.

Pulse Jumper
Met the Dev during a Gaming Event and gave me a free copy.
10/10 Game play and sick music.
This game deserves to blow up
– Real player with 5.2 hrs in game
Somewhere around the first few seconds of the game, you’ll feel like Pulse Jumper is screaming in your face that you aren’t up for the challenge. But you also know from those first few seconds that there’s a chance you can and so you stick with it. A chance you can aim and fire every shotgun blast perfectly, a chance you can hop between every projectile, and a chance you will stick every chasm jump. When you squeak through another sequence of hazards and get to the end of a level, you know you’re going to keep fighting until you beat the whole damn thing.

Salt and Sails
You are steering a “free” pirate ship. You need to use a cannon to knock out anything close, yes, anything, including small fish and bees. I didn’t expect that the little bee could threaten this big ship, I was so naive. And I believe the best Gunner of the 17th century couldn’t hit bees and fish with cannon. Whether I am too young or the game is too stupid is a serious question. But my 3-year-old nephew told me that he thought the game was boring. So I have the answer in my heart.

Dice Knight: Mystery of the Moirai
If you like D&D, dice & all that good stuff, definitely try this game out. It’s a very fun & fast paced combat adventure. I love the idea that currency, ammunition for your guns, damage, health, & even the difficulty options are all tied together into the dice. The world is full of humorous sites & dialogue. The interactive dialogue with NPCs is pretty great & it feels like the choices you make in talking with them actually matters. Overall a fantastic game.
