Playing Pride & Prejudice 1: An Austen Armoire
As the title suggests, it is the novel Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.
It is strictly speaking a visual novel. I mean there is no game, it is the text of the full novel transcribed (Only the first 23 chapters, however) with an interactive part where you can dress the characters (Elisabeth, Jane …) With various clothes in a nice visual style and create postcards with quotes from the book.
Essentially, it’s an easy, fun, and enjoyable way to re-read this lovely novel at a pace to suit everyone’s taste and without affecting the reader’s imagination. Good work

I like this puzzle game very much. I like how you can zoom in and out to make the pieces as small or large as you desire. I love the paintings and there is a large inventory to choose from. There is one drawback; when you are working on a puzzle you cannot save what you have done. The next time you open it you must start from the beginning. I emailed the company and they said they are working on this problem.

Magnificent Ships: Volume 2
it good and it fun

Similar Experience to Volume 1- I Liked It, but I Still Want a Snap-Turn
I just posted my review below verbatim from what I wrote for volume 1. Essentially, I felt that the pluses and minus are the same.
Played on Oculus Rift CV1 with Touch controllers. I don’t have a particular interest in ships or maritime history, so I was reluctant to pick this up. Since I like casual VR experiences, and all the reviews are positive, I thought I’d give this one a try. I purchased a bundle (Volumes 1 and 2). The wave effects and time of day changes are excellent. I wouldn’t mind a little more resolution on some of the ship textures, but they still look good. I have enjoyed watching the sunrise and sunset from several of the ships. I also had fun playing with the model ships in the park.

Chimeras: Cursed and Forgotten Collector’s Edition
nice to look at, nice music, on the easy side.

I purchased this game on sale. This game is okay. Not great. I did run into a little glitch in the bonus game with the sound. I closed the game and loaded it again and the problem was gone. I did not lose any of my progress. The game takes approximately 4 hours to play. Puzzles are easy but this is a relaxing game. I can only recommend this game if you purchase it on sale. The graphics & sound are very good.

Egyptian Senet
To summerize, if you are someone who goes for something with content and thought then try this out; it’s for literally 50 cents when it’s on sale.
This game’s graphics are higher than the screenshots posted, so don’t be fooled. This version is made for normal desktop resolution so I don’t know why any kid would complain. The design is pretty good for a 2D design, and the effort put in the details in the art were meticulously done and not just randomly copied. Everything to me seems like it has its own cham, the victory screen is cute and pleasant, while the prompt when you lose is unpleasant: as to be desired since this is a game for anyone to play and is meant to be symbolic, hence its accessibility to all ages is a plus.

Purchased for a reduced price of £0.79 so can’t say I’m not happy with the purchase!
In all Senet is captivating and this version acts as a good introduction, it is quite addictive as a casual game.
In way of criticism the game presentation is dated and I get the distinct feeling when moving up the difficulty levels the AI gets ‘luckier’ rather than more tactical. This makes the game short-lived as it soon becomes tiresome knowing the AI will often throw the correct combinations to rapidly progress pieces. Something that rarely happens for the human player!

Comrades and Barons: Solitaire of Bloody 1919
Fun Solitaire game with a couple of offbeat game mechanics relating to the story of the gloriously messy situation in the Baltics in the aftermath of the Bolshevik Revolution and the end of the Great War. Unique setting provides for some fun story elements that are integrated into the gaming levels. If you like Solitaire, give it a try. If you like Solitaire with a unique theme, try it as well. If you like to learn more about the Baltic Wars of Independence and the personalities and insane heel-face-heel turns involved, play as well.

5.5/10
I initially snagged Comrades and Barons because 1) I dig playing Solitaire games while I’m listening to music and 2) I dig the Russian Revolution-era aesthetic of the game. The game tells the story of a communist uprising. There are 6 different locations, and each location typically consists of 3-4 battles. Each battle consists of 10 levels, with the exception of perhaps the first introductory battle. Each battle has its own set of objectives you must complete in order to “win,” which might include something like attaining a certain card combo (perhaps removing 7 cards from the board in a row) or flawlessly completing a number of levels (perhaps removing all cards while playing 5 different levels). Unfortunately, there isn’t really a way to seamlessly mesh Solitaire gameplay with fighting a war. Although the cards themselves were thematic and the in-level obstacles were things like barbed wire, the “story” is told through simple in-game text boxes. I read the first few, but it was difficult to maintain interest when I was given no protagonist to follow and was unable to connect my in-game actions to anything war-related.

The Royal Game of Ur 3D
The Royal Game of Ur is the oldest board game known to mankind!
The game belongs to the sub-genre of board games called “racing games” and is the historic predecessor of Backgammon. 4500 years old game boards, pieces and dice of the Royal Game of Ur were found in the so-called “Royal Tombs of Ur” near the city of the same name in todays Iraq. On several, approx. 2000 years old Babylonian clay tablets, which were inscribed with cuneiform writing, rules of the game were preserved. These are the oldest surviving rules of a board game.
A Classic Game in a Modern Style
This digital adaptation offers you the opportunity to relive this timeless gaming masterpiece in our modern times. You can play against a computer opponent with an adjustable difficulty level or against human players. Both local and online multiplayer are supported. The game rules can be adjusted to your individual likings in each match.
What You Can Expect
The game requires you to make smart tactical decisions, but doesn’t put you under time pressure. Combined with the realistic graphic style and atmospheric sound ambiance, the game offers a perfect mix between puzzling and relaxation.
The Rules in a Nutshell
Move your pieces along one of several available routes across the 20 squares of the game board. To do this, you roll the four tetrahedron-shaped dice and move one piece of your choice at a time according to the total of the values shown on the dice. There must never be more than one piece on the same square, so you may kick opposing pieces off the board. If a piece lands on a square that is marked with a rosette, it is protected from being kicked out. In addition, the dice may be rolled one more time. If you get all your pieces to the finish line, you win.
