The Coin Game
My son loves this game, and to be honest so do I. You come to this game expecting something very specific and end up finding out there is a lot more to it than you thought. I would have been happy with just a video game version of a cheesy arcade, but this game is a whole world set in a fictional village called Islandville. The arcades and the machines are awesome enough, but a big part of this game involves travelling from arcade to arcade, to the carnival, pawn shop, grocery store, gas station or home. You can travel by limo, bus, golf cart, hoverboard or bicycle. It has a Grand Theft Auto exploration vibe, set in a world full of ticket redemption arcades. Your only weapon is a rubber band gun and you don’t steal cars. It is full of all kinds of wacky characters (who all happen to be robots). You also have a home to go back to where grandma robot lives and your pet goose keeps you company. The game has bugs to be sure, but they can be entertaining and the game is still in early access so it is understandable. The machine physics are really amazing and do an incredible job of recreating the experience of playing these games. The most incredible thing is that this is being developed by one guy!!!! This is a real labour of love for this guy, and it shows in how much fun this is to play. He is probably losing a lot of sleep bringing us more locations and features, so we really need to support him. For this effort alone I hope he makes $10,000,000. In case there was any doubt, I recommend EVERYONE buy this game. It cost less than the price of playing at a real arcade for 10 minutes, and you can play it as long as you want without emptying out your bank account. You will not be disappointed even if you are not into arcade games. Just exploring the world is fun.

Road Diner Simulator
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1160920/Food_Truck_Simulator/
Road Diner Simulator is all about renovating, expanding and customizing a road side diner located right across the highway from the gas station from our Gas Station Simulator. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1149620/Gas_Station_Simulator/
While doing that, you need to serve hungry customers, manage your staff and make sure the business is profitable.
Renovating the abandoned diner is where the game starts at. And there is lots to be done. The diner is from the late 50ties and hasn’t been in service since the mid-90ties and the
Everything is a serious state of despair, but you will have a lot of tools at your disposal to fix things up and decorate to your liking.
However, you won’t spend the entire early game renovating. Renovations and decorations cost money and you should get some cashflow going early on to fund them. Starting with simple dishes and some drinks to serve to your, at first, few customers it a solid start.
Growing your business is a large part of the game. You can expand your diner, modernize it, acquire new equipment to expand on the dishes and drinks you can serve to your customers and so much more.
You can also expand the building itself to have more space for tables or even games, change the looks of your diner to reflect your offering and expand the surrounding area to make room for a drive-through, parking or even a small car cinema.
Food and drinks take a dominant role in running a diner. You kitchen and supply chain will determine what you can offer. There is a wide range of choices ranging from pre-made meals to entirely custom food cooked at your diner. Road Diner Simulator features a full fledged cooking system allowing you to create your own dishes or follow established templates you can put your own touch to.
Hiring waitresses, waiters, servers, cooks or bartenders is an important part of the game. Hiring staff also allows on focus on certain aspects of the gameplay and leave other to be dealt by your staff if you want. Should you enjoy cooking a lot and want to focus primarily on the gameplay associated with the kitchen, you have your staff handle the rest of the diner. If you prefer to focus on the customers, you can your staff such as cooks handle the food and drinks.
Of course, if you want to run every aspect of the diner on your own, you can hire staff to ease up the workload in all areas and allow to focus on the aspects you feel like at the moment.

For anybody looking to add an additional cyberpunk game to your collection, this isn’t a terrible addition. As it stands right now, this game is playable, however there is a lot of room for improvement. As of writing, this game is on version 1.0 and was released shortly ago, so please consider this before passing off on this game!
I personally found my first playthrough of this to be rather enjoyable as I enjoy the cruising and driving aspect of the game even if I’m not making any progress. A few notes of improvement though I will recollect:

Anime Play Life: Unlimited
I won’t recommend this game at all, I do admit it has a lot of potential, but in the state its in right now I won’t recommend it. \
-
You don’t get a tutorial on the controls and how they work.
-
The clothing are clipping
-
VERY limited character costumization options.
-
Alot of weird advertising about a “Special version” download which is nowhere to be found at all.
-
No character facial expressions, such as smile, shock, suprised or happy.
– Real player with 0.8 hrs in game
I think there is a lot of potential for this game but how it stands right now, it is not very good. The character customization was bare bones and I had to back out of character customization and reenter just to get the menus to go away so i could hit continue. Once in the game, there was no prompt to let you know what button was used for interacting. I hit numerous buttons and clicked multiple times and still could not interact with anything. Until the game advances, worth the money.

Shoal
extremely relaxing and fun, and it’s kind of like slither.io or agar.io but with sharks and it’s single player.
don’t buy it expecting some sort of action packed shark game full of blood and murder and then leave a bad review because it’s not your type, instead, buy maneater if you want action.
there’s basically nothing wrong with the game when it comes to glitches or bugs and it’s genuinely just enjoyable.
– Real player with 5.1 hrs in game
My 2 cents on how ‘Shoal’ game goes:
You start as a shark, you eat other fish to complete missions and get to the next day, every 10 days you have a boss fight. A specific fish and all other sharks will give you points, you can use these points to purchase other shark skins (I still have some doubts whether or not you get different perks/flaws depending on which shark you use, they are cool nevertheless).
You die if a bigger shark catches you or you deplete energy, which regenerates if you keep eating.

Dave-Man
A simple story about a simple man, that just wants his everyday routine not to be ruined. A story, that many of us could tell.
Once you’ll start to play Dave, you will soon find out that there is a quite some background for this well made tribute to a Pac-man like games. I was simply amazed with the amount of all the dialogues, options, hidden jokes and obvious puns, all accompanied with great chiptune music. The music itself makes a huge work here as well, as many times I have just realized that I am humming the tones along with my head nodding to the rhythm.

Dave-Man is a charming retro-style game that taught me to despise anyone named Cathy! (for real, there is something very satisfying about getting caught out by her for the 15th time and exclaiming ‘GOSHDARNIT CATHY’ while smacking your desk).The gameplay is heckin fun, reminds me of my terrible attempts at Pac-Man when I was a wee lad but with cool extra stuff like online shopping and cats!!!The music is delightful, love the chiptune sound and it is there to comfort you when you inevitably get caught because you tried the hardest difficulty room.The end of a run is a really nice touch too, I won’t spoil it but it made me genuinely laugh.Overall I’d super recommend, and honestly it’s a steal for the price. It’s cheaper than a coffee from Costbucks for Christ’s sake and it comes with janitorial friendship!!

Gold Diggers
The term “Gold Diggers” has many meanings. It’s up to you how you want to interpret it. In the game, you can earn your prestige, or you can get involved with a rich person to wallow in luxury. Remember that not all gold that shines and you can search for your ‘gold’ inside yourself to find the most valuable paths of life.
The main aim of the game is to show the life in the 21st century – fast, oriented on consumption and with low awareness. The idea of the creators of the game is to encourage player reflection and awaken everyone who still dreams their programmed dream.\
[YOU]

The way you behave, how you look and what you do affect your Mucho Points and your Level of Enlightenment, which in turn determine your relationships and friendships.
Route Me Mail and Delivery Co
Route Me is a short and sweet speedrunning platformer full of humour and fun little easter eggs. Hidden mail and mailboxes keep the runs interesting. The seasonal maps are a treat.
It’s a great little pick-up-and-play for some casual gaming in between more intense or narrative games. Memorise routes to get faster times (and more money for upgrades) and good luck collecting all the hidden goodies. Big update planned soon too!

Full play through w/ all hidden mail and achievements (once it uploads): https://youtu.be/imO3TKUAKPo
Naw, this game really feels like a job not like you’re playing a video game. It’s repetitive there’s nothing particularly fun about it at all the charm wears off quickly. The fact the prize for getting all the hidden messages was a NG+ felt like the biggest troll middle finger I’ve seen in a video game in a while. The seasonal routes will tell you that you didn’t get all the mail even though you finished on time which doesn’t really impact anything just something I thought I would point out. Good luck playing this on keyboard it’s a feat of strength to complete the longer routes while trying to line yourself up with the mail box it’s extreme butt pain. So if you do decide to play this I would recommend having a controller. Honestly there’s not enough content in this game to be anywhere near $5.00 while on sale much less 7 something when it’s not I don’t know if this would be worth playing as a free game unless you really want to collect some achievements.
