Doom & Destiny Worlds
Was a huge fan of the first two games, so I was excited about diving into the world of Do&De again. Crafting games aren’t normally my favorite, but this one keeps things simple enough that I can manage (no hunger/thirst meters, THANK YOU), I’m also not a fan of item deterioration, but it makes sense with the crafting. so far I’ve explored 11 different islands. the puzzles are pretty straighforward so far, but the crafting really drags out progressing the story, especially when your weapons and armor break and you have to make new ones.

Doom & Destiny Worlds third part from the D&D series. In this part we will find a completely new approach to the game. First of all, an open world which is very large. Many of different islands with challenges and lot of strange monsters to defeat. Crafting is also new thing. You can create all your equipment. Lots of weird potions to kick up your nerds. Being able to build and destroy almost anything. Simply a wonderful adventure for hours. Just Gigawesome game! I also recommend the previous parts which are just as great as this one. I already have, and you?

Star Shelter
Now completely abandoned by devs. Ignore anything below.
Must admit, initially refunded this game after a few minutes of play. But can wholeheartedly recommend it now after playing for a few more hours.
Yes. It’s early access. Yes, there are still a few bugs. But unlike with most early access games I played the creators are incredibly active, they communicate with their playerbase directly, and fix things with incredible speed. (If you’re curious about this game but wondering if it’s properly supported, hop on to the discord and find out.)

Star Shelter a halfway decent game marred by some very serious flaws.
Once you get over the initial difficulty hump, it’s unbelievably grindy. Then it’s capped off by a series of punishing boss fights, and if you lose any of those, your only real option is to start the game over from the beginning. Which is particularly bad because the mid-game is incredibly boring.
The initial learning curve is incredibly steep. You start with a barely functional fragment of a space station, and you have to scavenge materials from space debris to fix it and improve it. The initial difficulty is about learning how to maneuver in space without using up all your oxygen (since you use suit oxygen as propellant), and learning what debris to look for.

So, first of all, i enjoyed this game so much that i repurchased it on PC (ive put months into the PS4 version), so the 140ish hours that are displayed are a mere fraction of a fraction of what ive actually put into this game. That said. . . .
Game was put together well, survival mode is awesome, and i enjoy setting factories, complete with gardens of all kinds of stuff, that i automate the ever living h*** out of.
Other fun things to do include but are not limited to:
Fistycuffs
Hoarding
Defense

I tried to make my friends play this many times and they looked at the game with that meh… expression. They mostly never tried it but all thoses who did liked it.
The game Launch like a terraria map where you gotta start every time from scratch* with a factory and explore to find ingredients. Once you’re set up, you have to defend your soup factory versus, kinda pirate, I dont know the name but they basicaly try to eat or blow up your base.
It mostly base building, base defence, exploration and trying to mix up new combination of ingredients. where the game, get more complex as you unlock more options, ex. vehicles or new robots.

Kingdom Two Crowns
I do not have the capacity to explain it in detail at this time, but the quick takeaway is I cannot recommend this game. Good concept, but having to fight glitches/bugs and the occasional bit of anti-player design ruins the experience and makes it drag into terribleness. If you have hearing issues, please be advised that there are key cues that are audio-based without any caption options. If you are colorblind, you will find the visual design even more challenging/impossible and again, there are no accessibility options. Considering that settings rarely stick between game loads, I’m not even sure that adding them would even fix anything. Also, adding new achievements at a later time and locking them behind a paid DLC is not great. In any case, sorry, but I would advise avoiding.

Little Shop of Junk
Your little underground bunker-turned-shop is about to be stormed by an army of customers eager to get their hands on unusual merchandise.
With a single pull of a lever you can supply enough pieces of metal, rubber and explosives to satisfy their heart’s desires and more. War might have gone out of style, but recycling is back in - and you have all kinds of gear lying around, ready to be reused as entertainment and garden decoration. Listen closely to every little masked guy and put out the goods they order.
While rapid shopkeeping is the key making any money, it’s the business decisions that will have the most impact. Figure out how to best design the shop layout, stay on top of organizing the stockroom and acquire advanced equipment to really spice things up.
Unlock all kinds of different things to sell. Some of them might be difficult to handle or just downright dangerous but hey, you absolutely CAN pawn off an explosive barrel as a coffee table if your sales pitch is convincing enough.
Spend your hard earned money to buy new rooms, furniture and upgrades. You will need the extra space to keep things organized once all the wares come flooding in.
Create wonders of makeshift engineering by combining useless junk into amazing contraptions. Rockets with magnets duct-taped all over are worth pretty penny somehow. You might want to figure out how to store those safely before starting mass production, though. Or don’t, what’s the worst that could happen? Flying super magnets, that’s what.
-
Frantic, physics-based shopkeeping.
-
Unusual take on the post-apocalypse, where the old conflict has lost all meaning and the ubiquitous military gear keeps getting repurposed in the most creative ways possible.
-
Management gameplay that changes during different times of day and special events. Make decisions that will impact incoming orders and profits. Discounting dynamites during the rush hour sure is profitable, but also twice as risky.
-
Dozens of items with silly mechanics that make them explode, fly around and just cause a lot of chaos most of the time. Expect big rewards for selling the most volatile wares, though!
-
Big machines that allow you to invent funny item combinations, radioactive smoothies and fashionable gas masks.
-
Purchasable furniture and decorations to make the shop your own. Build the best layout for keeping things organized, or just stick conveyor belts everywhere and go for the speed build!
-
Leisure mode with no time limit for players who just want to tend the store and stack boxes in peace.

Making it Home
Pillbug interactive keeps improving with every new title. A very bizzare and unique game.
Great soundtrack and background watercolor art made by some talented people. Game contains a surprisingly mature story despite what the artstyle would suggest, but it’s skippable if it’s not your cup of tea.
The developers have been very nice and receptive to feedback during development. If the game looks interesting to you, and you want to shape the future of where it goes, I highly recommend joining in on early access and talking with them on discord. :D

Is it a platformer? Is it a sandbox? Is it an optimisation puzzle?
Yes! and it keeps growing and developing in ways I couldn’t have predicted.
Build your vessel, mario all over it to get coins, use coins to make a grander vessel, and all against the clock.
Depending on your style, maybe the vehicle operates itself, maybe it’s 100m tall, maybe it’s 100m long, maybe you can use your melee 20XX skillz to go even faster than automation allows?

How to Survive 2
So, I definitely do reccomend this game. but not to everyone.
And. this review will have informaton, but expect it to be all over the place. GOOD LUCK!!
So, this game is fairly expensive, for what it is. You will NOT get what you paid for in the combat department of this game. yes there are a fair amount of ways to fight. and a small collection of weapon families to all keep it a little fresh. but other than those, combat should stay the same the whole game. with you deciding how to play it out against the kind of enemies you are currently up against.

Overall an ok game, it has a lot of fun elements but also a lot of missed opportunities. Overall a 6.5/10, definitely worth it when it’s on sale. I wouldn’t recomend buying it at full price and would skip it if you are bord of “survival lite” zombie games.
TL:DR: basic graphics, repetative environments and quests, offset but decently fun progression and gameplay. Not a GOTY contender by any stretch of the imagination but worth a few bucks if you like survival lite, and/or isometric games.
Graphics: 4/10: isometric games generally are lower end graphics wise but this game is rather basic in this area. Maps are repetetive, animations are limited. Areas start to feel extremely similar to one another pretty quickly. Some effort is made to proved various “biomes” like forest, swamp, city etc but ultimately it’s not enough and they HEAVILY reuse building interiors.
