Big Farm Story
I’ve never left a review for a game, but i felt i should leave one for this game. Firstly, I actually enjoyed this game. With that being said, i do think it has a lot of room for improvement. The biggest issue being the cost of crops vs what they can actually be sold for. I found that 90% of crops could only be sold for maybe 5-7 coins more than what it cost to grow them. And even certain crops say they make more when sold in the market, the difference is maybe 3-5 coins more than if they were just sold normally. This is also a common problem with other profitable items. There’s hardly any real balance, which makes it hard to make any real money even after grinding this game to a pulp in 60 hours after it’s release. The second issue i found with it, is the lack of actual story line. It’s a very slow progression to get anywhere, and then when I got to Chapter 6 I found myself saying “That’s it?” There’s not much to the characters either besides doing quests for them and earning friendship tokens, which just made it… boring. In terms of uniqueness, it is a very basic, linear story. Not really much to it. The MMO aspect was different though, but also random? I enjoy the idea of it, but in actuality the only real play ability with other players is visiting their house, and planting Friendship hummus to get more friendship tokens. Besides that I found it to be almost pointless and more of an inconvenience when trying to interact with quests in the town center. With all that being said, something about this game kept wanting to play more. It is similar to Stardew Valley and Harvest Moon, so it is an overall very mellow and easy game to play. I found it to be very stress relieving because it is so easy to play and get along with. I also believe this is developers first PC game after focusing on more phone games, so it definitely has the phone game feel. Which all the more stresses the fact it has lots of room to improve. I would absolutely come back to check it out after some larger updates in the future, but as of right now I feel I’ve finished everything that is worth accomplishing in the game. I’m excited to see where this game ends up in the future.

Big Farm Story is a cute farming game still under development so I’ll be a little bit patient with the current game’s flaws. The story starts off like most of the farming games, you receive a letter from your grandfather asking you to take over the farm because he has something else he needs to check on. Once you arrived at the farm, you find it in a bad state after the recent storm, but your neighbor’s son Benny offered to help you. Your mission now is to find out where your grandfather is.

A Time Paradox is a puzzle game where you look for a way out that does not create a paradox. Each move matters, the goal is to reach each level exit without being seen by someone from the past (mostly yourself !). Be aware not to block a future your-self !

The game have a single player story mode of about 80 levels, a 2 players cooperative mode, and multiple multiplayer mini games to share good time with friends !
A Time Paradox already hooked hundreds of players on Android, but only the PC version will give you high level of comfort for multiplayer.

Arnold Bounty Hunter
“Arnold Bounty Hunter” - it is a fantastic adventure according to genres like Beat ‘em up / Shoot’ em up / Platformer, which was created as the spiritual heir of the iconic classic games of the era of the NES (Battletoads, Double Dragon).

The main characters of the game are Arnold and Miko, bounty hunters. They receive a contract to capture a very dangerous criminal, the leader of the Star Corsairs space pirate clan.

ClockWork
We respect your time. Therefore, instead of bombarding you with long, overly detailed descriptions, we will point out the main features of ClockWork. Enjoy your reading!
-
Before starting work in the workshop, you choose the character of Anna or Edward. What’s next? Disassembling watches, choosing matching components, running between workbenches and avoiding obstacles!
-
ClockWork is a dynamic game where you have to fix all your watches before the time runs out. However, please stay calm - this is still a casual game!
-
The game consists of 12 levels that gradually introduce new mechanics, watches or types of obstacles.
-
Although our heroes spend most of their time in their hometown, during the game they will visit several different locations. After all, running a workshop is not only about fixing complex mechanisms. It’s also meeting a lot of interesting people… and talking animals.
-
Additionally, you will be able to complete optional quests. You will meet exceptional customers who have very interesting stories to tell.
-
In addition - cartoon graphics, pleasant music and a large number of references to pop culture. What more could you want?
And that was it. See you at the workshop!
Death Tales
After 4 hours of gameplay here are my thoughts.
The game is visually stunning and amazing to look at. I thought the colors would be weird, but it flows and is captivating. The art style is both whimsical and creepy at the same time. The soundtrack and sounds are not overpowering and very thematic (as a content creator I turn them down a bit for streams & vods but for normal play you don’t need to). Mechanically the gameplay is smooth and the challenge is appropriate. You will get lost in the gameplay and be drawn into the world. The equipment choices and power ups allow for a variety of playstyles - scythes, hoods, armor and spells are plentiful and have all sorts of fun uses. Speedrunners can run through areas once just to collect gear to give them an edge, and completionists can run a stage multiple times to collect all of the rewards. There are also events, shops and quests to add to the depth.

Arise: A Simple Story
Super Mario 3D World, if everything weren’t cats, they removed the Wii U gamepad, and wasn’t Super Mario 3D world
Random title cause I felt like it. I’m not sure on whether to give a ‘recommended’ or ‘not recommended’ for this game, cause it’s a 50/50 split between aspects of this game that I liked, and the ones that infuriated me.
Pros:
-
The Level Designs are amazing. Most games with a persistent time-switching mechanic only have 2 versions of the same map that show the past and the future, and pressing a button transports you to one or the other, but this game lets you slowly see the polygons shift whilst giving you the feeling of manually seeking and rewinding time like it’s a tape recorder. While most puzzles require you to only go back and forth between 2 points in time and freeze it, some puzzles
! (like the rolling boulder or the falling log in level 3) have you constantaneously scrub time and walk at the same time.

Arise: A Simple Story
Arise is a simple yet clever puzzle-platformer that pushes the puzzle-platformer genre in the right direction. Arise is a soulful, relaxing game that revolves around a man’s journey of reliving his bittersweet memories with his partner.
It’s sweet, it’s simple and it’s truly emotionally driven. And combined with its beautiful world and enjoyable gameplay, we have an all-rounder on our hands.

## Love is Dead
At the time of this review, I've read every other review for the game. You'll notice that all but two negative reviews had the game booted up for 6-12 minutes, the remainder upset that there's a make your own gender option under the he/she/they options, and there's a reason for that. The first few levels are simple, and therefore might bore you as they're more about teaching controls and mechanics than puzzles, they're a tutorial. The game ramps up after the first world…you know, like most other games.

First, let me denounce some other negative reviews as they are merely stupid butthurts. At the same time a number of positive reviewers have very short playtime as well. The game starts off as a decent casual puzzler. But fairly quickly turns mostly into action of sorts. Dodging, timing your actions, precision movement - these are the things you'll be doing for the most part if you are to endure this game.
Movement is grid based, which should be very precise, but there are bits with kinda off-grid movement, so you loose that precision in some moments. Thanks to that and because of slight bugginess, you might get stuck in a place or two, but this is a minor issue compared to controls. They are awfully slow. It feels like you have a delay of 1 second between button press and corresponding action. Very annoying unresponsiveness, especially when you have to dodge.

## Dad's Coming
After a whole afternoon at home with your sibling, the kitchen’s a mess, your room’s in disarray, you haven't hung the laundry: a normal day. **SUDDENLY…** you see on that phone notification that your dad will be coming home early - you hear the garage screeching and opening and... **RUN!! DAD'S COMING!!**
Meet **Bob**, the goofy brother who’s scared and clumsy because he can't contain the anxiety of thinking about the horrible consequences of his actions - not playing video games for the rest of the night. It's chilling!
**Kate**, on the other hand, was born for this. It's been years of intensive training of putting everything away and pretending she's asleep while her mother's on the way from the hallway to her bedroom, never once being discovered! And this time’s not going to be different.
To be able to clean up this mess and pretend that nothing happened you will need to:
* **Cooperate** by throwing items between rooms until you place them in their respective places
* **Be careful** not to break windows or fragile items like grandma's urn - your mom won't be too happy if your grandma breaks twice!
* Keep an eye on **Jack, the siblings’ cat**! He is always messing around and knocking things over.
* Use the means in each house to be even quicker, such as service **elevators**!
* Watch out for **blackouts** when it's raining! Sometimes you will have to reactivate the circuit breaker!
* And much more!

## Bee Simulator
Bee Simulator, a cute game that helps you understand just what a bee goes through, an insect that helps to pollinate so many flowers and plant life so well, better than any other insect out there and how the world around them affects their livelyhood and natural habitat. This game has a decent take on the world of bees with a nice couple of mini games that flesh it out for you.
Just a quick disclaimer: I rarely swear in a review, but this game deserves it. I've got a lot of patience for games as I try almost all the games out there, but fuck man, this game got me upset at stages.

The game is mostly minigames. The main story and side quests have variation from the minigames, so it's not just those. But most of your time in the game will be minigames. I gave this a negative review, but it wasn't too bad of a "time waster" game.
**Races** you fly through blue rings to follow/catch another flying insect. There are speed boost pickups to slightly fill your speed boost gauge, and slowdown pickups to avoid. If you miss a ring you lose a failure token, but you must go through the next ring or lose. There are also obstacles throughout the "courses". The "Easy" difficulty is super easy and short. The "Hard" version is much longer and needs more skill.
