Bloons TD Battles
This game used to be good: fast-paced, pleasantly complex, strategy-based, and lots of adorable monkeys. There were some problems: clan bugs, COBRA tower, cheating, and unwillingness of support staff to do anything about the cheating, but overall it was pretty playable. To play at the highest level, or just have maximum fun, a couple minor purchases were helpful but not required, primarily club access for additional arena modes with special rules.
Instead of fixing those problems, Ninja Kiwi introduced “powers” as a way to squeeze money out of existing players. Basically the game went from being focused on strategy and skill to being focused on grinding to unlock the best powers and use those powers to defeat opponents.

I originally began playing this game because a Youtuber I liked would often play this game with his subscribers. I had originally put off downloading the game even though it was free because of numerous negative reviews had made me wary of this game. The main part of this game that I was originally worried about was this game’s version of a premium membership being club access.
Once I began playing the game I realized that although the game is fun it is also tiring in the beginning as you start with a small fraction of the monkeys. Although at times being limited was frustrating looking back I’m glad they did it this way for a few reasons.

For that price, it’s ok. You get an experience, that I haven’t seen anywhere else. Revealing a picture by basically memorizing the general colors and the swiping the right spots is - to me at least - a new concept. There are two major criticisms though. First, it can be done always and with a 100% rating within the time limit. I never struggled to finish the pic at least 30s early. Since there is no penalty for misplacing colors, you just paint everything with every color, and there is still more time left. Second, the content is lacking. If with all DLCs, there isn’t much there. One of the key features erasing away from the finished pic) is ultimately underused and could potentially be the game selling feature here, if it just was used in a more varied and more interesting way. So for 2$, it’s ok. Including workshopsupport could be the changing factor, but so far, not much has accumulated there, and some of it is straight up copyrighted and badly implemented.

Pathfinders: Memories
Pathfinders: memories is a lovely puzzle platformer, the goal of the game is simple:
Guide the robot from point A to B, but the puzzle here is that you can only memorize the path and only see the grids to guide the robot. While it seems simple, it becomes easily a challenging game, I loved it.
Is something more to love in this game? Yes, there is! I love how cute the robots are, seeing them walking is so satisfying, plus a chilling soundtrack to listen while you’re playing, I can’t recommend this game enough.

I have a good time playing this cute game where I can challenge my memory. You have to memorize the safe path then draw it when it is hidden. You can use pins and checkpoints to help you but you lose points for using them, so be careful if you aim the high scores. I like that they use scenarios from different people in History, even some unusual like the Mali!

It’s Democracy meets Civilization.
Still a work-in-progress, and from a part-time indie dev, but what you see here shows promise.
If you’re a Civ/Paradox/Democracy fan, it’s an easy recommendation.
If you’re not too sure about it, grab it on sale, or wait until they finish all the ages that make the core gameplay.
Pros:
-
Less intimidating upfront than Democracy, you start from humble begginings.
-
You can start at any place in the globe
-
Many different paths to take your civilization through

This game is unique. Maybe not much replayability, but there definitely is some. In the bronze age I had a shining civilization, the entire Iron Age was a time of unparalleled ascension, but I quickly over expanded and then the disruption caused by the immense amount of minorities quickly destroyed my stability. I kept undermining the power of the clergy in order to stop them from toppling my republic, which caused the number of heathens and heretics to rise to such a point as to ruin my stability even further. There was this entire collapse scenario very reminiscent of the fall of the Roman Republic, culminating in a coup d’etat by the military which led to a quickly fragmenting military dictatorship that saw a snowball of decline that just kept rolling and rolling.
