Alaska Gold Fever
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1748760/Kings_Helper/
It’s 1896 and recently something unbelievable has been discovered in the cold and wild fields of Alaska. It was something special and precious, something so valuable that entire kingdoms fell over for its beauty… GOLD!
Thousands of adventurers wander into Alaskan forests, mountains and grasslands to get only one thing - even one gold ounce. You are one of them and your goal is simple - become the wealthiest man in the world!
Explore & Survive in the unforgiving environment
Alaska, as breathtaking as it is, is not the most welcoming place in the world. As a gold miner you have to be well prepared. Take your warm clothes, food and proper equipment in order to survive at least one day. Blinding blizzards and heavy rains will put you through the various challenges.
Fight your way and defend what’s yours
There are many dangers in the wilderness - wolf packs, bears and, of course, people who won’t be as humble as you and will kill anyone for gaining some golden nuggets. Equip yourself with some knives or a gun, survive the night and be victorious!
Dig, mine and sell!
Search for caves and caverns, dig through the hard rocks and get your gold. Don’t forget to equip yourself with good quality picks, dynamite and building supplies, or your mines won’t be easy - no one wants to die because of collapsing ceilings.
Take care of your dogs
You will have a dog sled at your disposal while traversing the open world of Alaska. Those good boys need food, warmth and love from their owner. Don’t forget about customizing their equipment!
Equip yourself
Equip yourself with the necessary equipment that will allow you to find gold in any area. Go to the store and buy everything you need for a gold digger’s expedition. Rope, dynamite, food? Take whatever you need!
Go on a treasure hunt
Take the treasure map in your hands and go on your journey. Remember that it will be dangerous, so you need to get the necessary tools! On your way you will meet many dangers, but don’t give up because the treasure waiting for you is worth your effort!
Build mines
Build your mines, expand your mining tunnels and look for hidden gold mines! Don’t forget about the supports in the mine to make you feel safe in it. Get the right materials and expand your tunnels. Create your own gold mine!
Mine deeper
Create unique mines and dig deeper and deeper, expand your mines! Set up a track and go on an amazing journey in search of gold!

Amborettio
Amborettio is an interesting game with a unique story behind it. I was impressed with the details in the backstory and I enjoyed collecting materials to build the required tools for the game. For the price, I would recommend this game to everybody who is interested. The solo developer has completed impressive work with this game at a fair price. I look forward to seeing the future games that this developer publishes.

Gude! Jump n Run
This simple 2D glowing cat game is exactly what I was looking for. Simple, no storyline, just shining cats illuminating the dark and finding butterflies.
The good- easy to play, simple mechanics, very enjoyable.
The bad- There aren’t that many levels in this game. You might get at max 6 hours out of the game, but you will smile the whole time.

Upon getting this game, I was confronted with an okay-ish platformer with a decent, if rough, control scheme.
Upon getting to the later levels of the game, I was confronted with ‘Com(m)ing soon’ for one of the levels. I assumed it was labeled such because I needed to collect the collectible butterflies (I was on 38/45 required at the time), but as it turns out, after collecting the butterflies? No, the level is still under construction.
This game has a single piece of music to its soundtrack, no sound effects, and frankly, is INCOMPLETE. While I could forgive the first two issues as being part of the game’s style and theme, the incompleteness means I can’t possibly recommend this. Nothing indicates that the game lacks all levels. There’s no warning on the store page, the game’s not in early access, so… what?

Mining Empire: Earth Resources
Honestly, the thought process for the game is there but the execution was horrible.
It is also not optimized for widescreen, text, sliders, and buttons will be missing and unavailable.
total scam of $9

This is a day 1 review, and the question I am answering is on day 1, in it’s current state, do I recommend purchasing this game? Since this game is day 1, in early access, I will come back in a later time to review it again. This review is not final.
Pro’s:
An interesting premise
I really can’t think of much else
Cons:
No sound, no music. Just absolute silence.
Visuals are just a map and some stock pictures. If you are expecting more, ou won’t find it here.
I can’t even see where the fun will be at. (Will discuss further down below)

Volcanoids
It’s a bit more objective oriented than the usual craft/survival game I’m familiar with, especially with the cyclic nature of needing to dive underground with your mobile base during the frequent disasters. Having it as a mobile base was rather refreshing compared to other settings where the base is in one location and that tends to make resources convenient or not. The version I played was a while ago, and at the time battle was rather simple, and there didn’t seem to be too much benefit to use any weapon aside the hand mortar and grenades but I have to emphasize that was during the version I played.

Gun play is fun, and it’s exciting to see your ship being built bigger and bigger. The hot keys were a little weird at first but not unacceptable. Overall, I like it.

Stationeers
Disclaimer: I’m nearing 1000 hours on this game. I’m a filthy addict, and the developers know it. I’ve just now finally gotten around to writing a review.
Stationeers is the culmination of everything I’ve ever wanted to see in a STEM video game, and it’s still just in its infancy. I have high hopes for its future and have complete trust in these developers that they will not disappoint.
Mathematics. Engineering. Chemistry. Physics. Biology. It all comes into play in one form or another. It’s problem solving and learning science at its best. IN SPACE. It even allows you to gain a better grasp on Celsius, Kelvin, and Pascal’s if these units were once foreign to you.

Last update: 18-3-2018
My EARLY ACCESS review of Stationeers after having played it for about 190 hours:
-
The game is changing constantly, so this review probably doesn’t apply anymore in a few months.
-
There are constant updates, not on a scheduled weekly basis like Space Engineers but the developers seem to be motivated and active both on the forums and otherwise. The updates I’ve seen so far contained lots of fixes and content, such as the Ground Penetrating Radar (ore scanner) and the Portable Solar Panel with the last two.
