Charterstone: Digital Edition
Pretty darn nice implementation of the board game. I have played the campaign once in real life :) I have finished one campaign with this program against 5 AI opponents. My second campaign got really wonky screwing up rules and end of game choices. I think I might have hit some less major bugs in my first campaign, but I don’t know if I just wasn’t paying enough attention or wasn’t clear on various rules.
Sooo, It is good and it is fun. The developers are already patching the game that was obviously released a bit too soon. But they ARE patching.

Halfway in the campaign. and while somethings are nice it is a mediocre worker placement game as you are building the worker placement yourself…
this happens by what is available to you and since you can’t choose specific buildings it is a hit or miss.
SO my main issue is that there isn’t a way to build your own custom map. Or at least i can’t find it. That would have been fun tinkering with it and see if you can outdo some of the maps allready in there. Can’t believe the bottom one was approved. that was just no fun. have to test the others.

Casus Belli: Battle Of Annihilation
UPDATE 8/9/17: Four hours after my review went up, the developer added six balanced maps to the game for hotseat play and more “fair” contests against the AI. This changes my overall review to a “positive” one. The original review text follows:
Similar in approach to Advance Wars, the game features twelve maps of varied sizes, all of which provide significant resource advantages to the blue player (the AI by default, but it can be switched). This eliminates any balance for hot seat games, and the lack of a map editor (no random maps, either) means no alterations can be made to make things more fair. Locations around each map can be captured to provide resources (towns) or produce units (one land, air, or sea unit per location each turn). Units can move and attack each turn, and certain units perform better against specific enemies. The AI is a capable opponent, capturing locations and engaging with appropriate units, which makes any resource advantage seem unnecessary. While Casus Belli: Battle Of Annihilation offers approachable, simplified turn-based gameplay, the map design and lack of other features hold the game back.

interesting and addictive turn based strategy made in simple visual minecraft style
conquer cities to earn more gold to be able to have enough money to produce more military equipments,
make wise moves, count enemies powers - game’s not at all easy to play.
vast number of setup options - map size, balance, etc.
i enjoyed it.

Fourzy
Fourzy is a board/puzzle game where the goal is to connect four or more game pieces called Fourzies. The game is played in a variety of different worlds with obstacles on the board that create ever changing gameplay. Game boards can be both procedurally generated or carefully crafted.
The experience is short, intense, logical, and each game feels like a new puzzle to unwrap and solve. An entire game can be completed in just a few minutes. Play through hundreds of levels in the puzzle adventure or play casually with friends face to face or online.
Mayan Death Robots
This is one of those games that are very easy to pick up but very hard to put down again.
It combines a Worm’ish vibe with Tetris-like terrain building tactics, and even a little Lemmings (talking about giving a huge salute to the Classics).
The game just lives and breaths the creator’s love of gameplay, indie artwork and good ol' fun-to-play.
Even my ‘only AAA games are cool’ children are super fans.
Mayan Death Robots is a game that just begs to be played on your game evenings with buddies. It’s a world of fun to

Mayan Death Robots is a wonderful game to play with friends/family, it’s a lot of fun and laughing your ass of is pretty much guaranteed! It’s a lot of chaos, but in a good and entertaining way.
From time to time you have to bury the hatchet with your opponent to take on the mighty Mayan gods! Who (sometimes literally) really shake up the game! You can also destroy your opponent’s core in a lot of different and unique ways, and every robot is unique and has a certain playing style.
The game has a lot of character, the sounds/voices, the Mayans, the annoying Spanish mammals, the game play, graphics and let’s not forget about the humor in this game. All the little news reports in the main menu are definitely worth reading! The storyline itself is also really funny.

Might and Magic: Heroes VII – Trial by Fire
I’ve been a big fan of the Might and Magic Heroes games since the first one. Each iteration brIngs something new to the table, some changes welcome, some not.
Like Heroes VI, Heroes VII is a sprite based Strategy RPG. A number of things have been brought over from Heroes VI, mostly the beautiful graphics and terrible voice acting. However, missing are some of the best features of 6, including dynasty weapons and dynasty traits. Ultimately, those features lead to more playability where I have logged over 1500 hours. Heroes 7 “features” dynasty pets, but this is mostly cosmetic with a tiny creatures following in your Hero’s dusty trail. Town building and adventuring are still satisfying, the battles are epic and great fun.

I bought h7 complete last sale, when it was 14 euros and I can say it’s worth it, if you play single/hotseat. I don’t play online multiplayer so, can’t speak about it.
As I long time heroes franchise fan let me throw some quick points:
pros: - random map
-
7 resources
-
easy to navigate and grasping the new mechanics, thx also to the heropedia
-
good battle mechanics
-
very nice sync between units and hero abilities, you need to know tho from the start what you want to be your fighting style - magic-shooters, might- offense melee/range, etc

Oversight
This game is something truly special. It’s smart and sophisticated, with fabulous yet understated art and music. The gameplay is very satisfying, and it makes me feel like an evil mastermind even when I lose! Play this game, you won’t regret it.

PGA TOUR 2K21
Coming from The Golf Club 2019. While the game was extremely rough on the edges, especially on the presentation being awful, I still loved the game for one reason : The gameplay. It felt amazing and I fell in love with it despite all the other shortcoming.
When I saw PGA Tour 2k21 out, I expected to be completely let down, the usual EA tactic of releasing the same game with barely if any change at all. Luckily I was wrong on this regard. A ton of gripes I had with TGC2019 was corrected, such as partial swings being impractical, the green grid partially covering the green, no spin control on the ball and no customizable clubs/stats. Yes the game is basically TGC2019 V.2 but, to be honest for a moment here, you can’t really add anything too substantial to a sport game that relies on being realistic beside polish. I do agree on the fact that full price for this game is a tad expensive : You do need to enjoy realistic golf to make the price tag feel right.

Full disclosure, I bought the Deluxe Edition when it was on sale for about 30 bucks and I had a $25 Steam gift card, so this game was as close to free as I could get without someone gifting it to me.
Would I recommend this at full price to anyone for the Deluxe Edition? No.
Would I recommend this to someone getting it at a steep discount? Absolutely.
Now, on to the review.
You’ll read a lot of negative comments about the commentary, and all of it is true. It’s repetitive, rarely describes what’s actually happening, recaps will seem like they’re from an entirely different match, etc. This is spot on critique. There is a lot of jank in the way the commentary will put together random phrases to try and simulate actual play by play and color commentary. But sometimes, that jank is golden.

Post Human W.A.R
Beautiful game !
I’m not a big player of strategy games but I must admit I totally got into this one. First of all, the background is rich and full of humor. All the voices and sounds are really fun, the animations beautiful and the musics work well with the atmosphere of the maps.
And more importantly, the game is very well thought in terms of game-play and strategical/tactical options. Each of the three factions has its specificity and can be played differently, which adds fun if you want to master all of them. I think some units could be even a little bit more different. You can build very versatile armies due to the huge amount of units (tanks, healers, fast units, archers, mass destruction creatures…) and thus adopt completely different strategies. The management of resources is also interesting as it allows you to boost your units or build protections on the battlefield. And finally the existence of a champion and a totem to protect add also another dynamic to the game.

I dont write many reviews, but this game deserves a review
If you like turnbased strategy games like Fire Emblem or Advance wars this game is a must have.
Post Human War is a post apocalyptic turn based strategy game in a time that humans are gone.
The game has (singleplayer) campaign battles (I think around 4) Each campaign has 6 missions and they are difficult. I have played a lot turnbased strategy games, but this game is really challenging. For me thats a positive thing.
Another big part this game is the multiplayer part. With a lot of different options. But…to be honest I played only one MP game, because I prefer to play single player games.

Scorched Islands
Unfortunately the gameplay is by far worse than on my old scorched tanks version on the Amiga

The best thing I can say is that this is fine.
It does exactly what it says it does.
Archery flash game but 3D with tanks.
The option for local multiplayer is cool but it doesn’t really add anything to the original formula.

Worms Reloaded is a classic Worms game, It has all the classic weapons, sounds, graphic style. It is missing out on some customizations but it comes closest to the classic Worms games on Linux.
It has all of the elements of the classic Worms formula, The Weapons, The sound effects, The speechbank, the Team Customization, The Single Player Campaign, The only thing I am missing is the heavy game mode customization like we had in Armageddon and World Party. It still has the game mode customization but it is very limited in comparison.
