Frozenheim
First, the TL;DR: While the game still feels rough around the edges, it is a fun game if you like games/matches that can last as little as 30 minutes and as long as 3 hours (exploring to get Ragnarök).
GREAT:
-
Aesthetically pleasing with good music
-
Building options
-
Enough maps (4) to play skirmishes, games and 2 campaigns
-
Minor customization (color selection) of your colony
NEUTRAL:
- You colony can expand 3 times, each with prerequisites and materials required, but the expansion is small. Depending on your starting location, it can matter a lot or none at all.

Game, building and personal information:
(Detailed)
- Frozenheim a “serene Norse city builder” that absolutely feels serene when focused on creating a settlement. I begin with just a Jarl’s longhouse and a handful of citizens standing around, and I build a lumber camp, fishing and hunting huts, a gathering station (for stone), and then a training camp so I can begin to create some soldiers. I put down some houses to grow my population, and there are windmills for wheat fields and farmhouses but they won’t generate resources in the harsh winters that cover the world in snow and ice so be aware of that.

Captain Bones: Prologue
The Ambience alone is worth downloading this game. It sounds very calming and if you love the ocean you will like this game. There isn’t much going on in this game yet, but somehow it doesn’t suffer from that. If you need explosions and constant gun fighting, then you probably won’t look twice at downloading this as it isn’t for you. If you want a lite island exploration game that is also about crafting and fighting off sharks while diving for treasure, and you don’t want to pay for it, then this IS for you.

The prologue appears to be the same as the demo, which I’ve played for about 3.5 hours. It’s definitely a fun prologue, though there isn’t a ton to do outside of the story. There are some chests to find and loot, but ultimately, there isn’t anything worth buying with your booty. There is a scrap merchant who sells ship parts, but no ships that you can repair/build outside of the raft, which degrades quickly. Having a couple islands to sail to and a ship would go a long way, though I suspect that will be a motivation to buy the full game.

In the southeast of the Central Continent, the Magic Principality was occupied due to the loss of the remaining large magic stone. As an apprentice of a wizard, the player pursues the clues left by the teacher, and constantly explores the depths of the ocean, looking for the legendary dragon’s lair with mysterious treasures and infinite magic…

Gemini Wars
“So i had around 40 hours in this game, it is not good it is not bad either. Missions lack in challenge, they are mostly the same, protect this, defeat that. The later part where the aliens apears was slightly better but i wish game is longer, more ship classes and details. However for people who like this kind of game its okay. Graphics, could be better, much better.
Would i recommend this game?
Game recieved many negative reviews,and mostly because it didnt deserve positive ones, for the current price of 14,99EUR i wouldnt recommend this game. If you find it on sale, for cheap, try it, you wont lost anything except few hours of your life. I would give positive on this one since i did had fun in skirmish with this game, and because i love some of the ship designs. Otherwise if there is neutral button i would hit instead.

This game feels like it is still in beta with all the glitches.
Pros:
Good concept. I enjoy how quickly bases can be built if you have the resources which makes comebacks not entirely out of the picture. Easy to pick up.
Cons:
Ships will shake violently when trying to move and sometimes won’t even move when part of a large selected group. AI is horrible for skirmishes. I played a skirmish where the AI player sent its starting construction ship to where I was building my fleet about 5 minutes into the game and it was destroyed easily ending the game.

Aircraft Carrier Survival
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1450300/Battleships_Command_of_the_Sea/
Take control of the aircraft carrier, its crew, officers and planes during WW2. Give an example of military prowess by choosing the right equipment, crew, and escort for the mission. Remember that your success will depend greatly on your flexibility in managing the available fleet resources.
Assign a crew and choose what your officers should focus on. Your ship has many stations to man, and proper management will be the key to executing your plan, whether by taking on an enemy directly, sneaking past them, or taking an alternative route to completely avoid contact.
Your damage control teams can handle fire outbreaks, torpedo strikes, hull flooding, enemy bombardment, airstrikes, and suicide attacks from enemy planes, but not all of them at once. Assess which threats need to be dealt with first in order to survive.
Use maneuvers, aircraft, anti-aircraft turrets, and whatever else you can to survive the enemy attack. Make sure that any enemy who dares to attack you will end up in the depths of the Pacific.
Will you risk all lives on the vessel to save the one in need? Do you have what it takes to make a decision on the spot? No matter what, some sacrifices will be necessary and the only source of redemption is victory.
Use intel collected during recon missions to prepare pilots and aircraft for large operations. Target enemy land bases and even their entire fleets. Identify opponents before choosing attack directions and deciding the sequence of targets and maneuvers.
Feral Blue
I was extremely excited for this game when it was announced. It is progressing and somewhat becoming more playable, but to be honest it’s extremely unfinished and frustrating at this point. Worth picking up if you don’t mind waiting for the full experience and playing casually.
Pros:
-The graphics are decent, and there are lots of great aesthetics
-In-depth crew management system with feudal elements
-Very visceral combat elements- you will die, you will lose men, you will encounter ships far more powerful than you that will squish you like a bug

EDIT
Unfortunately, I feel compelled to change my thumbs up to a thumbs down. At the moment, this game is straight up abandoned. There has been one patch since I originally reviewed this game almost 2 years ago, and that one patch was simply increasing ship hold space (i.e. changing some numbers). The Discord is basically dead. Someone will ask the devs if they have any news or updates and a week later get a simple “not right now, sorry” in response. It has been that way for several several months. Supposedly the publisher pulled their funding so devs are basically sitting on their hands waiting for a load of cash to fall out of the sky.

Block of Rum
(!!!MAJOR REVIEW CHANGE!!!)
So originally, I had said I would not recommend this game, however I also stated that I would change it if my problems with the game were fixed. So, I am happy to say that with the update 0.7.1 (which was the next update after my review) the following problems have been fixed to my satisfaction.
1: Inability to escape from battle (FIXED)
2: Lack of Warning about losing inventory (FIXED)
3: Quest tracking (FIXED)
Sooo, since all my complaints are fixed to my acceptance, I am happy to change my review to RECOMMEND! I left my complaints so you can see what I was upset about. Hope this helps!

I really got hooked on the construction mechanics, i would definetly play for hours building ships if there were more materials and color options for said materials. A few comments on the construction though, i would really like more available visibility while making designs (360° vision). Most of the UI needs fixing (better construction inventory, texts that fit), but i indeed liked where the game is going and the potential it has. I would love to help in the translation if you are planing to doing it also in spanish. counter or markers for needed sails or weight balance would be great. For now, I’ll keep designing ships till i get the perfect one. Good luck and keep on the good work…

ATLAS
the two words that describe a game like this are: DIGITAL HEROIN. the game is weirdly addictive but i will never recommend it to anyone as much of the time you are just staring at the screen for 3 hours while the boat moves- cant look away for even 15 seconds because a bunch of enemy ships may just appear in view in front of you, requiring 3 seconds of reaction time to steer out of the way, or else you lose tens-of-hours of work.. that’s fine for immersion, albeit a tad harsh, but the reason this is a negative review is such that the product is filled with bugs and spelling mistakes that have been present since game launch. new updates often re-break old features that were previously fixed on a repeated basis (sextant buff/autopilot.. coordinate space transforms arent that hard guys!). utter and complete world wipes happen upon developers' whim, so if you get into the game late in a season then you may as well not play because you will be so far behind the career players who got in 10seconds after new season and claimed every island and covered them with fence foundations so that nobody can build. and by the time you learn the game then the entire world undergoes another wipe which results in making game harder to suppress the PVP veterans; leaving anyone new to the PVE game in the dust. long story short: developers are struggling to tame their existing playerbase with no remaining capability to improve the game for the general public. its been almost 3 years since public release for paid product.. they cant claim “early access” anymore.

This is the worst best game ever….
It’s pretty, it’s fun to play* and with a private community to avoid the toxic levels build up over the years from the wrongdoing of the devs, amazing and fun.
It is… however… full of bugs, without any sight of those ever being fixed. Arrogant devs who refuse to help people who are trying to improve on the game with mods and who ignore all feedback. No, all… feedback is ignored. They deploy enthusiasts to run their discords and take all the heat while hiding in the corner.
