Handball 21
REVIEW + GAMEPLAY VIDEOS
HANDBALL 21 does a brilliant job of recreating the awesome Sport of Handball.
The characters, arenas and animations are almost perfect and Graphically I find Handball 21 pleasing to the eye.
A good match full of end-to-end action can be very rewarding and ultimately the Handball 21 experience has made me aware of and appreciate far more the sport of Handball.
Much of what Handball 21 does is spectacular but the game is unfortunately ruined slightly by the collision and push/trip animations which are unbelievably poor. They fundamentally ruin immersion in what is otherwise a fantastic title.

I have an i7-9700F , GTX 1660 SUPER , 16 GB RAM
I need help and the developers dont answer me, if they can´t help me I need the refund of the game because i cant play with this bug. I have a bug in the game, like a goal net at the middle of the screen, and i don´t know how to solve it.
I like too much handball and I hope you fix this problem.

Rugby Challenge 4
Basically just an update to RC3 Fixed some of the game play issues but not all. Graphics are ok and control model is good. The ability to edit teams and import new players to make squads accurate is a big plus. The poor and inaccurate commentary has been retained from RC3, but the new set moves are quite good.
What really continues to let this game down is the AI game play model. This seems to have been programmed to try to keep games even, coupled with really poor offensive and defensive programming. This results in periods where it decides the opposition needs to score and your team just make constant unforced errors, including:

I tried to like this game and ill probably still play since im stuck with this. This game has very few positives with a lot of negatives so ill just summarize everything first.

-
Game play feels a bit smoother
-
New features like kit creation, Some more modes
Cons
-
1st off the price
-
Trying to mod this game is bullsh*t now you have to use a lot of 3rd party software now since there is no Zip Pak file.

Cricket Captain 2021
I’m going to play this review with a very straight bat.
Summer is over and trips to the pub long gone and forgotten. Eye candy is out of fashion and flat tracks, bouncers and maiden overs back in vogue. Cricket Captain 2021 is in town and for me that means the world stops revolving.
This year’s CC21 is much the same as last year but with Childish Games usual added tweaks and boot polish. Game play and statistics improve year on year and this latest version has a large spoonful of both. The new English County Championship format being my favourite thus far.

The developers don’t deserve to continue making money from this game.
I’ve purchased every version since 2014 and every year I try to tell myself the game’s getting better.. But it’s not.
The yellow shading over the buttons is some weird rehash from the early 2000’s that looks cheap and tacky.
The fact you can’t click on the angle you want your bowler to aim for but now have to cycle through the three options? Infuriating.
The amount of maidens in the last 10 overs of an ODI chase when you’re at high aggression.

Super Blood Hockey
Super Blood Hockey is an awesome game, Fluid and Simple Controls, Pixel graphics and 4 Player Local coop or versus. It does not take the sport too seriously and there is a lot of blood.
It is a nice take on the classic hockey games of the early 90s. Anything is allowed and getting trough a match without a fight is pretty rare. Players can get injured and wil just bleed oud on the ice, There is even an achievement for it, “One for the dumpster” You can play any game up to 4 players, you can play for the same team, you can play versus or mix and match.

This is the hockey game I’ve been wanting for almost 30 years.
TL;DR: This game is awesome.
This game reminded me of a few different games. Ice Hockey, Blades of Steel, NHLPA ‘93, and NHL Hitz. Coincidentally, most of these have been my go-to games to get my fix of hockey violence. SBH seems to take elements from all of them, make , and then wrap them into one. I revisited and played all of these games plus others to refresh my memory and make these comparisons as accurate as possible.
For reference: SBH = Super Blood Hockey

The Corporate Machine
The first thing I need to say is READ THE MANUAL! If you’re like me and tend to play a casual game or two to get the hang of things it’s very easy to have no idea what you are doing and lose the game. A quick skiim of the manual will give you an idea of what is what and how the game runs.
I very nearly wrote a bad review after my first game after giving up in just five minutes, I hadn’t read the manual and had no clue what I was doing.
The graphics and sound options on the game are not great, basic graphics and no volume control are something of a turn-off, but you can do what I did and turn off the game’s music and ignore the graphiocs quality.

I got this with stardock legends pack, so it was so cheap. It works on my win 10, and I don’t update it unless it asks me so it works perfectly on win10. First with the cons, the training isn’t working as it shows when you press f2 ( it’s been showed in help, f1) so I played a game at beginner than “difficult in pain”. After few lose I managed to own the world. So there should be some ways to endure the others. Ok you will say me to use cards and lucki but cards require too much resources for a losing company. Maybe I’m telling this because MOBA games and their competitive game strategy is popular now, however, I still think there should be balance. Also I wish to have suggestions to continue after 55% global market sharings. Or there would be other choices such as technology winnig. And pros, if you like this kind of games you will like it. You really need to control market, demand and sellings should be balanced very well, otherwise you lose. I really liked it. I wish ppl upgraded it till now, but this gem also lost itself in the marketing :/

TransOcean 2: Rivals
Triggerwarning: (this will be a ranting first impression review)
TL:DR version at the bottom. (playtime is not reflective of actual playtime. I left the game running with computer on for nearly 400hours)
My oh my. Deck13 along with publisher Astragon Entertainment, what is this and did you listen at all to your fanbase?
I don’t even know where to begin, I clearly remember a dialogue about what the fans wanted for the follow-up and did you collectively decide to do the opposite of what they wanted in about every way imagineable?
– Real player with 413.1 hrs in game
I’m a fan of tycoon games, and I really like the idea of one based on the shipping industry. (I also played Ports of Call back in the day.) TransOcean 2 looks good and runs well but I can’t recommend it for the following 2 reasons: 1) Lack of gameplay balance and 2) lack of gameplay depth. The following focusses on single player modes only as I’m not into MP. (A word on that later)
There is a ‘campaign’. It’s basically a tutorial that delivers what scant details there are to know about TO2 in an unnecessarily drawn out, grindy way. And it’s set to a painfully corny story. (Why does this game even need a story?)

Will of the Gods
Fun and enjoyable, maybe even a bit addicting game to play with friends.
Bots are allright, but after while you start to learn their pattern, and beat them again and again.
If you have friends to play with, I recommend this game.

This game is actually pretty fun. Nothing special but it is only 3 euros.
-
Cheap
-
Fun time killer
-
Can give a real challenge when mutators are active
-
Easy achievements
-
Easy Steam cards
-
Supports the Xbox 360 controller
-
Limited multiplayer (only local or with Steam friends)
-
Too easy when no mutators are active
-
Single player gets boring since the AI is dumb
-
Mutators are a little unfair towards the player
-
Mouse moves too slowly

AMazing TD
Honestly the game has some work that needs to be done to it but if your looking for a classic starcraft td outside of starcraft this isn’t a bad start. It’s still in early access so there are obviously problems/unfinished parts of it but I think its a great start and already currently gets me on a almost once a day to get my dailies and try the new maps. With a little balance and a little more depth this would be a solid td
Things I would add/change:
- The upgrades curve doesn’t seem balanced to me, I always get to a certain point and feel like its just a waste unless there is no room left to build new towers.
– Real player with 30.8 hrs in game
I’d like to preface this review by saying it was written while the game was in Early Access and that fact was taken into consideration while writing this. AMazing TD is an interesting take on the Tower Defense genre. It reminds me of the Tower Defense (TD) games I used to play as custom games in Warcraft 3 and Starcraft 2. It probably reminds me of that because it is a standalone spiritual successor of a Starcraft 2 map I had played previously called Entropy TD.
It’s a deceptively simple appearing Tower Defense game. You build living statues as your towers and they deal with the various waves of enemies. The longer you can keep enemies from exiting the map, the more likely you are to eliminate them. Building a maze and well placed, properly upgraded towers is the key to victory in these sorts of games. AMazing TD goes beyond the basics by also having power fields on the play field that modify the game in some way. Fields that slow, speed up and teleport the enemies, increase the range or damage of your towers or even offering you extra gold are some of the field effects to watch out for when planning your maze.

Pixel Cup Soccer - Ultimate Edition
I can see how this game shows quite some good potential for growth. I wasn’t aware that there was a whole Pixel Cup franchise, but it seems my time will be rather appropiately spent with this one as it looks like a considerable better development than the before editions.
Looking forward to those new features!

The good:
-Beautiful pixel graphics
-Plenty of competitions, teams, stadiums and more to choose from
-Good sound design
-Fun gameplay, easy to understand and get into
-Basic and good controls
The bad:
-Kick offs are a bit broken, if you align your kick off kick to the middle and shoot at max power, there’s a 90% chance your shot is going to be a goal, weirdly enough, this seems to work better at some stadiums than on others
-AI for defenders is a bit bad, sometimes all your defenders will go up to attack and leave the defense empty for no reason
