Path of Exile is an incredible game written by New Zealand developer Grinding Gear Games. The game puts you into the role of one of seven possible characters, each with their own story, that has been exiled from their homeland and is forced to try and survive in the harsh and unforgiving terrain of Wraeclast.
Graphics: 7/10
Graphically, the game isn’t absolutely spectacular. In fact, it’s dark, gritty and quite gruesome. It sets the mood extremely well and really gives the image of a dark, foreboding land where the people are oppressed and monsters and bandits are rampant. Some of the areas in the game can be quite disturbing and really set the mood of the game itself. Although, as stated, it is far from graphically superior, the graphics and the design work really mesh well with this game and set the tone the whole way through.

Dead Frontier 2
03/10/2020: Honestly big big step for open world ONLINE zombie games. Dont get me wrong it does have bugs but all games do at some point it gets better between all the positive comments and dedicated people willing to put in the effort within the community, being patient enough that good games dont come fast. 7/10 good game Needs work but all in all happy that DF2 might have a second break at being an awesome game on steam!!
8/17/2020: Update on my review. I started playing this game late last year on october of 2019. It had alot of bugs, not gonna lie yet so much progress has happened in those 10 months. The community has gotten less toxic from when i started playing because the people who stayed really loved the game. I have met alot of good players, friends in here who were kind and patient enough to teach new players how the game works. Y’all should really try it out. If ya need help message me in the game, ill be glad to lend a hand. - Damntrinity

TL,DR: As it is now, I can’t recommend this game at all, which are more accurately named “Left 4 Dead(-update) Frontier 2”
The developer of this game is a single, lone dev. There are credits to him since he managed to create all of this by himself. Unfortunately, this game is not Stardew Valley, and imo is not the type of game where you can realistically work alone and provide updates regularly. He does get help nowadays, but since the updates roll very slowly, most regular people that actually play this game in the past (not just start a new character, quit after 2 hours), stopped playing.

Grim Clicker
~~TLDR: The game itself is pretty good but the state of the cash shop has led me to ultimately downvote this game.
This game is definitely better than a vast majority of other garbage clicker games on Steam. Good art, music, UI. The items can be a bit confusing. At least early on the game is pretty generous with handing out chests, so you’ll end up with quite a few weapons. To me at least, it’s very difficult to tell what is good and what is bad. I would like to see some additional way to tell how good a certain item is.~~

So, this review will be a bit long, but it will be a idle game lovers view, and marking all pro’s and con’s I see, with some thoughts on it.
What I would like to begin with is, I had a save issue, after I had drop some $ into the game, and I wrote a message to the email given when I was looking for support. The first response back was amazing. They gave many different ways to try to fix my save file from loading cloud, or finding computer save, etc. They said if I could, they would love to at least have me start from the beginning and they would refund “all” my shards. If I could find a save of me in the 2nd world, they would start me there while refunding all my shards.

Stoneshard: Prologue
I seriously wish I’d never started playing this. What I presumed was going to be a sample showcasing a game’s potential over the course of an hour or so, turned into a five-hour grind through damn near impenetrable, unfair, procedurally generated dungeons and infuriating gameplay.
In this 2D, old-school, top-down RPG adventure prologue (essentially a demo of things to come), you’ll guide a middle-aged man out from his prison cell, into his vampire captors, and through a dungeon to freedom. But right from the off you’ll hit a barrier. Everything is incredibly clunky and fiddly - whether it’s accessing menus, using items, interacting with objects or even just moving around, nothing is immediately intuitive or flawless, and everything is a learning process.

Stoneshard: Prologue, a free alpha version of the still to be released (at the time of writing this review) full version called Stoneshard. The prologue gives the player a great idea of what the main game will feel like, most likely and hopefully the finished product will be even better. Thanks to Ink Stains for this try-out version.
Only one character is playable, Verren the Seeker, who is locked away in a prison cell and has to escape his fate, in order to eventually retrieve the Stoneshard.

Farmageddon: A Cattle Royale
i hate that i laughed at THAT many cow puns lmao

OKAY, the replay value of this game is pretty outstanding! Honestly, there isn’t much out there in terms of DAILY gameplay changes, and I am in love with the “king of the hill” sort of way you are able to CLAIM the Divine pasture and show off your build to friends as they try to take you down!
Honestly, I can see a negative review with only 8 minutes of playtime. They certainly didn’t give the game a shot or comprehend the games core mechanic, challenging friends! Too play this game for 8 minutes then write a 4 paragraph review is just unethical and wrong.

Bloody Efforts
Imagine your own mighty Heroes and make them REAL in Bloody Efforts.
Story:
_There were two Ancient Gods - Known and his older brother Unknown. The elder God created a whole world with mighty Elements and the younger one gave this world a life with all forms we know. Unfortunately, there was a conflict between the brothers, which turned into the battle. Clash of the Gods disturbed the world balance and brought many cataclysms upon all the races. The Elements began to fight each other and what is worse, a new ominous being appeared – the Hollow.
Until then, only a fraction of humanity managed to survive. Probably everyone would have been dead a long time ago, but something unexpected happened to the races. A new kind of people appeared, called Apostles. They are significantly different – stronger, faster, but the most remarkable is their ability to subdue power of the Elements. Some of the Apostles fight to restore order and peace once again. Others cooperate in achieving common goals. There are individuals who want to find remnants of the Gods or even get along with the Hollow, devoting their souls in exchange for new horrific powers. And who will you choose to be?_

Switch Fighters during the Game
Player needs to strategically choose their Band of 6 Apostles before the Match. Apostles are not equally matched and fit various roles (Warriors, Shooters, Tanks, Mages, Supporters, Assassins etc.). They get serious advantages or suffer disadvantages in different battle scenarios.
Killing is not everything (MOBA-like)
3-phased Modes with various Objectives make an opportunity to think tactically about the next move. Defending the base, setting the trap or outsmarting in Apostle choices can be the key to victory.
Midnight Renegade
This game is awesome, I sincerely hope that the creator continues to provide some support or updates for the game, because if it was a little longer and well worked, I would easily pay for the game, obviously it has its errors, the design of the “phases” is a little strange, the difficulty curve is really steep, the last boss being much more difficult than the 3rd boss, here is a list of things that I think should be fixed:
- The 2nd version of the 4th boss (the one of the conquest), has too much life, I would prefer it to have less life and do more damage

Incremental Epic Hero
Im playing this since it came out a year ago. The progress is slowly, but in this game you can build up your character in different ways. Lots of loopholes allow boosts of progress. Many of these Loopholes are only working during a certain stage of progress. Searching and using these makes the most fun.
I play a different style, than the developer intended. I play without any reincarnation and i was still able to get the DS killed even before this game came to steam. Since then i made even much more progress.

First time playing this game - Unlike some who have had the chance to play it on some websites.
Easy learning curve and they introduce new features such that we are never bored. The biggest wall we encounter is probably the one for the reincarnation feature (different from rebirth). Be patient - We are not meant to access that content early on. Make sure you read some guides on how to beat the challenge though as it requires a specific strategy.
As for premium currency, we get a ton from regular quests and daily quests. Save to purchase any upgrades that improve you daily quests first such that, later on, you are guaranteed at least 1 to 2k Epic coins per day from the daily quests alone.
