Planetoid Pioneers
While it was a game with alot of potential, it was held back by quite a few things.
But first, the good things :
- Mods
The single thing that actually kept me interested enough to play it for more than 5 hours was the ability to, in a few clicks and with some image editor like GIMP, very easily create your own items for this game. The variety of mods available on the workshop is also a nice feature (unfortunately there is an enormous lack in community-made planetoids specifically, though the few ones out there are quite well made)

i was so close to finishing primoid but then the cog spawned INSIDE THE PALCE WITH THE ROCKET PARTS
basically ruining everything after that i decided to take the road through mount primoid and noticed the worst thing of the game. MOUNT PRIMOID ISNT A CHALLENGE, IT IS TORTURE. i know there are a grappling hook and propeller in the game to help you around but the propeller constantly aims at the ground. i died 4 times before my game crashed due to its constant consumption of my laptops free memory space making me delete more and more of my stuff. the rest of the game is fun and enjoyable. be sure to give up when the game tells you it wants you dead.

This is a great game where you can change the game as you play it! It’s still in early access, but the idea is amazing, and I am looking forward to see where it goes as it is developed!

ADventure Lib
Well, this was a silly game. It basically randomizes items and mixes them up, so instead of a knight, you might be a chicken or butter or what have you. Your spear might actually be other random items. The puzzles are as simple as they get and the whole game wont take but 10 minutes or so to finish for most people. You can play over and over if you like with randomized items, but other than that, there really isn’t a point to playing the game again. I think all told, I would probably give this one a 3 or 4 out of 10. Easy achievements if you care to get them all. I walked past an item that would have given me the two I am missing and I really cant be bothered to go back and grab them, lol. Meh.

ADventure Lib is a very entertaining, funny and short experience.
A Gameplay & Review video showcasing the features I’m about to talk about:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqY4WZ_SvMk
When you start the game, all objects and characters in the world are shuffled with the game’s database of objects.
That means the character you play as could be a potato, and you’re trying to save toilet from a fire-breathing plunger.
The gameplay is incredibly simplistic. You have a “Look” action that gives you a hint what the object is meant to be used for. E.g “This rope is very sharp” so you know to use it as a sword. You also have your primary action which is to use or talk to objects/characters.

Hammer SandBox
Hammer Sandbox is a solo/multiplayer sandbox game with no specific goal, except maybe having fun! You can make your own mods, maps gamemodes and plugins!
Map creators can define their own rules and goals!
Server owners can grow up their community and gamemode!
The last tank fight
The game has 30 levels.
There are six boss battle levels, and some strange mechanic levels and story levels.
You can choose 3 combinations of 5 active skill parts and 4 passive skill parts to complete the battle before each level. When passive parts reach a certain number, new features will be generated.
Active accessories include stealth, shields, rapid fire, bombs, and mines.
Passive components include increased health cap, increased damage, increased movement speed, and decreased active skill cooldown.
Zombie camping
Awesome tiny game to relax and shoot some zombies. It’s still on early access, but is playable and enjoyable. Hope devs will add achievements.

I love zombie games, especially those that are from the third person, and then there is also an unusual approach where we need to camp in order to play.
There are 5 types of weapons in the game, but it can be improved, there are also waves of zombies that become stronger

Incarnata: Dormant Stories
Incarnata is a text-based game where everything is procedurally generated: offering an incredible depth, within an infinite world.
Dive into this adventure simulation and become everything you decide to be. The game adapts and builds challenges, creates unique characters, places, and goals for you to weave your own story.
Gameplay depth
Will you aim for your enemy’s throat or maybe their left eye? Will the memory of this fight stop your character from sleeping tonight? Are you wearing enough layers of clothes to protect you from the cold? Create your own story by playing with an unprecedented level of depth.
Procedural everything
Everything in Incarnata is generated by a complex algorithm. The world, the items you find, but also the story you are going to live through. Love, Betrayal, Twists, and Challenges are all handled by an algorithm meant to always keep you on your toes.
Extremely moddable
About everything in the game can be changed. Play as a human in a medieval fantasy world, a cyber human in a dystopian future, a wild animal with godly powers. Anything you can think of, the game can be made to play.
As a modder, you are able to change the world the players will explore but also the very actions that are at their disposal. Incarnata works as the platform where your dream world will come to life.
Your custom-made content is incorporated within the procedural generation algorithm, allowing creators to be players in their own world.
Isles of Adalar
I usually never leave reviews on games. But this is such an ambitious game made by 2 people only. So almost for that reason alone it deserves a positive review. However, should you buy this game? If you want something polished, smooth and without bugs, then you should definitely not buy this game. It has a fair amount bugs, bad animations, and auditory issues.
With all that being said, the game delivers on it’s intended purpose almost flawlessly. You can generate a level (Island or dungeon) design it completely as you wish and i don’t even want to go into detail, about how in debt you can go with everything. NPC behavior, quests, factions, world building, what areas of the map have what sounds or music, light sources. (Probably) Everything that exists in a engine for making games exists within this games editor. I haven’t found something i haven’t been able to do yet. And the best part about all this? You can continuously expand you world, you can keep making new levels and link them together by using something called portals.

Disclaimer: I backed the Indiegogo campaign, so it may show that I entered a key rather than purchased from steam directly.
Promising game with lots of potential. The inclusion of mod tools from day 1 is very nice to see, and I hope that modders will pick this game up and begin to make their own campaigns and content with it. The devs seem to be pretty active, and have been checking feedback from yesterday when the game released.
Update 10/24/2020: It looks like the devs have fixed the UI bug that I’ve been having. I was able to play for some time before putting the game down for the night, with zero issues on that problem.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
I bought Skyrim special edition about 3-4 years ago on steam.
I had already played it a lot on xbox(360 for og and xbone for SSE) and the modding envy brought me to the PC platform.
I probably have over 3-4k hours into this game at this point not counting the sheer amount of time modding it and even making mods for it myself.
This game has gotten me through some pretty rough times too.
However here’s the rub, I bought SPECIAL edition not this crappy Anniversary edition.
If the upgrade is non optional (default Steam and Bethesda), which it is, then it follows this is by definition false advertising, which is straight up illegal.

Broken beyond repair by the last update- and not for the first time. It’s time to move on I guess… has been interesting, rather nice at times, but no more. Enough is enough- we worked hard to create these ..fragile worlds of wonder… this forced update *(THANKS, STEAM) broke the very fabric of our alternate realities …10 years after the dust could have silently settled…
I guess I am not the only one going crazy during pandemic- I buy and mod guitars like mad, I re-decorate my home..got a friend who started to learn to play ukulele and others study un-ironically the ancient art of ..pickles for Heaven’s sake, asking grannies around for best recipes… And these guys code. Re-code, re-do something..just to make something happen “in the meantime” or whatever…Just like M$ with their disaster win 11, these guys just can’t stay in /do something non-neurotic it seems..And we’re on the receiving end.
