Solitude
Solitude is a cooperative multiplayer action survival game. Played from a first person perspective on your own with bots or with friends, you play as part of the crew of the Solitude and find yourself stranded on the other side of the galaxy as a result of the failure of the first full-scale faster than light warp test. Only by repairing Solitude and improving the FTL drive, and other systems, is there any hope of the safe return to Earth. The crew must defend themselves from previously unknown alien races and navigate difficult spatial anomalies but, in the end, will that be enough to get home?

POSTAL Redux
After waiting for this game to come out since the moment it was announced, I’d say that my opinions about POSTAL Redux are a bit mixed. I like this game, but I wanted to love it. Here are the pros and cons.
Pros:
*Better gameplay than the original, it plays like an actual 3/4 isometric shooter, no-more tank controls.
*Rampage mode is awesome, especially that alternate ending!
*The new remastered OST is amazing, I just wish that all of them were remastered and not just most. Also amazing are the tracks for Rampage mode

4.2.1
A remake of Postal in UE4, supposedly remade from scratch that may be a little too faithful to the original. Along with the good comes some of the same issues the classic had.
Redux comes with multiplayer deathmatch/co-op, the classic campaign along with their expansion levels, and the new single player mode, Rampage, where an actual scoring system comes to play.
The controls in Redux are far more superior to the classic tank controls, but the game’s nice enough to add tank controls anyway if you so wish to play it that way. You can now run and shoot with better precision and it plays more like an actual twin stick shooter with full controller compatibility. The game is much lower in difficulty compared to the classic thanks to the ability to properly run & gun.

Dungeon Defenders: Awakened
Alright, this is going to be a lengthy review, but I feel like this is needed. As you might have guess from my amount of play time, I’m recommending this game and find it to be a very good game. However, more context is needed. I’m reviewing the game in its current stat (January 2021).
Let’s start up with the most important thing: my recommendation varies depending on who you are. If you’re the kind of gamer that likes playing through the game’s story once and then move on to the next game, then you’ll probably like this game in its current state. The first campaign playthrough is really enjoyable and, for the most part, well designed and well balanced. Boss might be a bit hard though, but I’m sure the devs will rebalance them. Either way, it’s not so terrible.

TLDR: I recommend the game, it is fun, colorful and easy to jump into. Also, if you played DD1 you will get hit with a wave of nostalgia. However this statement from their Kickstarter page “Here at Chromatic Games, we all agree — let’s go back to the roots of what made the original Dungeon Defenders so amazing!”. They have not hit this mark, not even close yet. Additional info below.
I would recommend Dungeon Defenders: Awakened to anyone looking for a fun, simple (more on this later), highly addicting game. The game has enough for casual experiences and a bit of depth for the hardcore min/maxer in us all. Fighting waves and waves of enemies to get showered in loot is a lot of fun and never gets old. .

Dungeon Defenders
Updated Review
After more than 6,000 hours in this game the day has come to quit Dungeon Defenders. Easy to imagine that I’ve given a recommendation before. Unfortunately recent updates made by the Community Development Team (CDT) ruined the game - at least for me.
To my knowledge the CDT has been introduced to fix bugs, adding quality-of-life changes such as new content. Instead they also change core mechanics of the game such as RNG, towers and enemies. Things we were used for long 5 years are getting changed out of the sudden because certain individuals within the CDT are enforcing their changes more or less.

This game, despite being old, as stood the test of time. It’s a wonderful game from my childhood that still fun to play whenever I jump back onto it. It’s never a dull moment in this game, and will always hold a place in my hearts. That doesn’t mean I don’t know the bad stuff about it, because loving a game doesn’t mean you see only the good parts, but you know what the flaws are and you either love them or are able to look past them. Lets go naming some shall we?
Pros:
The combination of RPG elements with Tower defence is smooth and feels natural.

Dungeon Defenders II
I tried. I really, really tried.
Ever since I bought this game in 2014, I continued to throw my time and genuine effort at it, hoping to get at the very least a decent sequel to DD1. I even ignored the very clear warning sign that was the release of DD Eternity (DD1 was abandoned to hackers, then repacked and…sold again under a new name, wham, bam, profit). Today, with the game about ready to leave yet another developement stage, instead of having hope and tons of fun playing the game, I am disgusted and bitterly dissapointed.

Don’t bother with Dungeon Defenders 2 or Trendy Entertainment. Their incessant greed has instilled levels of disgust in me that I scarcely could previously fathom.
For a bit of background, allow me to preface this by telling you that I hold no nostalgia for the original Dungeon Defenders. This is a combination of their lack of security leading to rampant hackers and my disdain for the original character styles. I played this game a bit when it first came out, and dropped in now and again to see how it was doing. My tenure here became permanent with the Terraria crossover content, and I’ve remained fairly steady to the game since. I’ve done some Mastery, climbed up Onslaught, and dabbled in Ancient Power Resets. I’ve seen a lot of what there is to see, and let me tell you, originally, the allure was the cartoony, bright graphics and enjoyable combat. However, beneath this veneer of vibrant paint lies a decrepit, hollow experience designed to consume your wallet.

Main Assembly
If you have a creative drive or artistic eye, this game is great for allowing you to express yourself through your builds. The controls are a little wonky to start with and the building “flow” seems un-intuative at first. But it doesn’t take long to figure out how things work. If you have any experience with 3d animation or model building, this is definately in that “wheelhouse”. This feels more like working with clay, than sticking blocks together. There’s a decent amount of additional add-on pieces like hinges and servos, as well as pistons and specialized tools like the suction cup or drill head. The physics in-game are decent as well. Although, to me, the atmosphere feels thin. When taking off in a flyer, it feels more like your breaking the surface friction, than pushing yourself through the air resistance.

Poorly designed and poorly made. Does not feel like a 1.0 game. Most controls can’t be rebound, and the input system is super buggy. Most controls can’t be bound to controller. The vehicle chase camera is awful, requiring constant hands on the controls just to see where you’re going, and like most badly designed things in this game, it’s not adjustable. It’s especially heinous in the space parts of the game, where you can end up upside down relative to the camera, which is just stupid. The game has very few options. There isn’t even a “reset options to default” button, so if you break something, which is very likely, you’re SOL. Multiplayer is a disaster, with horrible lag and desync making any kind of interaction or collision impossible. The challenges mode where you unlock parts and cosmetics is half interesting and half miserable. I ended up getting an automatic collectible grabber bot from the workshop because the sandbox levels with 45 stars were such a chore.

Quality of life improvements beyond what’s normal for Chess apps
Cooperative Chess is part of what has retroactively been termed a “molasses jam” run by the Bay Area Dev Collective. The theme of the jam was to make a violent genre non-violent. Somehow the idea of co-op chess came up during a brainstorming session, and I knew immediately that I had to figure out how to make it work. And now you and a friend get to experience it yourselves.
The other molasses game jam games are also on steam:

HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed
Hypercharge kinda appeared from no where. I saw the reddit post that blew up in December, I looked up the game and it seemed neat. I didn’t buy it. Covid had left me a tad stripped of extra gaming money.
I got some Steam money for Christmas. My friends still play Titanfall 2 for it’s wave defense mode, and I’ve been unable to play much with them. Our games list don’t share as many titles as they used to. Used Christmas money on Titanfall 2. I played with them for two days, on that second day I brought up Hypercharge: Unboxed in conversation as a similar game that looked neat. Well, it seems they liked the toy idea as much as I did, because within an hour of finishing Titanfall 2 for the night, I find it suddenly gifted to me. They all got it, and felt bad I used the money on Titanfall 2, so bought it for me.

Awesome Co-op game for adults and kids.
I’d been watching this game on Steam for some time because I’m big fan of toy games like the original Army Men and the Toy Soldiers games and this looked right up my alley. I think it’s the nostalgia thing that gets me, the fond memories of playing with toys as a kid and setting up big elaborate battle scenes. For some reason I never got around to buying it though, then one day my 10-year-old son saw it on the Nintendo Switch eShop and really liked the look of it and kept asking me to buy it. I thought it would be better on PC, so I stalled him. Fast forward to the 2020 Steam Winter/Summer sale and I noticed it was in sale and showed my son who so excited about it that he used his leftover birthday money to buy it. I’m so glad he did, as we have been having a blast playing it ever since and even my 8 year-old-son has now joined in for 3 player split-screen action. I literally have to stop them from playing as the 3 of us would happily sit there and play it all day if we could, we’re totally obsessed, curse you responsible parenting! I’m using my keyboard and the boys are both using controllers (Xbox One and Xbox 360) and the controls work perfectly.
