Vagrus - The Riven Realms
Genuinely good. Multiple ways to play through, interesting conceits and brutal treatment of mistakes. A player really gets the feeling that their choices matter to their future and no decision is taken lightly, whether in the scripted events or even in just where to go. Great game to replay using different builds and goals, which adds longevity. A really good strong start form the devs, they should be proud of their product. I hope they continue to build and improve.

Vagrus is for particular tastes. Do you want an open world trade-simulation oriented RPG with a lot of content, almost all of which is delivered through text? Are you ok with playing a character that never appears in the game except through choices and effects you make on your trade caravan, your companions, and the factions you fight or ally with? Are you ok with these choices changing the course of the overall story only in a limited way, so the bulk of your player effect is in how you choose to advance your caravan and companions and not how you destroy an enemy or change the world? Most of the big moments in the game are finding out about something that is going on, but being unable to completely stop it. Sometimes you can’t effect it at all. But, you learn, and in almost every way in Vagrus, knowledge is power. The user interface is wonky, the gameplay is deep but takes a long time to get your head around, and currently the Internet will not answer all of your many questions about how the world works. You’ll need to figure quite a bit out for yourself. Does that sound fun? give Vagrus a try.

Absolute Drift
So, here it is. My review.
At time of posting, I have all the achievements and have 50 hours in the game.
First of all, just a general comment: I love this game. It has a great, smooth game engine and the controls are fairly easy to me. It wasn’t too hard to pick up, and learning some drifiting from Assetto Corsa and driving my Miata IRL, I can say that the physics are very realistic and it’s easy to apply those skills into this game.
Here’s a list for the TL:DR, and it’s at the top (you’re welcome):

I’ve had tears of joy playing this game to completion, which is a rarity, I will say.
Absolute Drift is a top down, minimalistic stunt driving game. Your goal: become a master drifter, by refining the art of spinning out and smashing into walls controlling oversteer and burning rubber.
For the aesthetics: it’s low poly, simple graphics, with most buildings and roads left white and untextured. Objects of interest are coloured red, blue or yellow. Your car leaves behind skidmarks wherever it goes, whether you slide or not, which allows for impressive drawings on tarmac, or a nice spiral when you catch some big air.

Naval Action
I have almost 6k hours and belong to a wonderful and very successful community in the game. I actively played and tested almost all content in the game. You can assume that I might know what I am talking about.
I am fan of historical simulation war games. Enjoying Totalwar series for years and particularly attracted to age of sail games thanks to Pirate of Burning Sea. Naval Action is the only successor in the market for this genre now. That is the main reason I had big hopes and enthusiasm toward the game and still playing till another come, mainly sticking with my friends.

As much as I would love to see a game like this succeed, I must recommend that you avoid spending money on this game right now. If you are interested, I suggest you wait till it releases and watch the reviews then. Let me explain why.
I have many more hours in this game then is posted in my steam information. I was a closed alpha, pre steam, tester. At the time their was a small group of Russian or Euro testers that numbered, less than 50 as far as I can tell. The second batch of testers, another 50ish, included many Americans. I was one of those testers. I believe that was in early 2014 or 2015. Either way, I have been involved in this game from closed alpha, to early access, to sea trials, to open world going on years now.

Noita
Extremely fun and unforgiving game. There’s a lot to explore and learn about the game, and the more you understand the broader your gameplay becomes. I would highly recommend playing the game without any outside tips or help first, as it’s very easy to get spoiled on certain spell tricks and combinations.
The music is great, and comes in sparingly, which enhances your exploration and combat. The enemies are tough at first until you learn their attack timings and patterns. The wand building is the most deep and expansive thing I’ve ever come across in a game, there are so many tricks and combinations you can create with wands that are mind boggling and beautiful. There will definitely be many occasions of you killing yourself testing the waters. There’s also alchemical combinations with all types of fluids, and exploring their effects is also fun and satisfying.

Games like Noita are rare.
Superficially, it looks like a basic dungeon crawler, with the addition of a completely dynamic and manipulable environment. Dig a little deeper, though, and you see the depth and amazing variety the game brings.
The wand, perk, and spell combinations alone make this game interesting, and give you reasons to keep playing. Me and my friends are still coming up with strange new ways to break the game…
But then you add the absolute difficulty of the game, the physics, the goofy interactions, the alchemy, the banger music, the huge amount of secrets, and… You get one of the best games ever made.

A Monster’s Expedition
I play 100+ puzzle games every year and this is likely my favourite release of 2020.
Draknek and his team have truly advanced the state of the art in how the game’s world is put together and how exploration and puzzle-solving are interconnected. There is no other puzzle game that does quite what this one does in terms of the interaction between mechanics design, navigation, and secret-finding. It’s not just a game about pushing and rolling cylinders around, it’s a game about really interesting cause-and-effect relationships between the cylinders, the spaces they’re placed in, and the places that you wanna get to but can’t.

If you love cute but challenging puzzle games and think the goal of visiting a public park is to leave not a single tree standing, this is definitely the game for you. It might even be the game for you if only one of those two things apply.
I’ve put a lot of time into this game, so saddle up for a thorough review.
A Monster’s Expedition with Overly Long Subtitle is a large and challenging tile-based and turn-based spatial puzzle game of the sokoban subgenre. Beating the game is somewhat tricky, but mastering it (clearing all the fog) is very difficult—and I say that as a longtime DROD player.

Jack Axe
Jack Axe is a funny short platformer game where the main mechanic is to throw an axe and dash to it. It tries to replicate more challenging and difficult games, not succeeding much, as I didn’t find it too difficult, but it still manages to be a lot of fun. I played it on release so it had a lot of bugs, I would recommend waiting for some patch before buying it. Nevertheless, it’s a great game that won’t take you much to even 100% (being 5 hours my time), I recommend it.

This review is further detailed in the video below.
Jack Axe is a BLAST! It’s difficult, challenging, charming and all around good time. The co-op experience works quite well and really adds to the fun so bring a friend, or 3. With enemies, puzzles, bosses & secrets, Jack Axe stands above the rest of the Puzzle Platformer games and keeps me hooked.

Achievement is a national flag and easy to unlock.
Just start playing the game, it unlocks all.
But that’s the only reason I decided to buy this game.

Cheap game from Russia. With this I mean, theres zero quality.
You die from one hit, controls are horrible and theres no tutorial or story.
Whats the point of this game? Nobody knows.
Stay away for now, might be OK after full release, but now it’s part of Steams shovelware collection.

Vagrus - The Riven Realms: Prologue
When I read some of the negative reviews about Vagrus on the store page for the full game, I was hesitant about buying it and so I decided to try out this demo. One thing I’ve gotta say is that you HAVE to be in the mood for reading if you want to fully experience and enjoy this game. The first time I launched, I was not in that mood, and boy, I was really having my doubts. After getting bored during the first few dialogues, I decided to put it down and try again another day. Second time launching, I got ready to embrace the adventure ahead of me, no distractions, and it was FANTASTIC!

KENSHI in heavy text mode and turn by turn battles?
A book where you are the hero/leader as a video-game?
Conclusion in comments!
Demo offers 2 game modes:
-A tutorial campaign titled “Pilgrims of the Wasteland” which is in fact the first part of a story-driven campaign.
I completed it in 3 hours or so, taking my time to read tutorial hints and lore texts.
-5 turns in a free campaign, open-world setting.
I didn’t try it, 5 turns (days) seems too low for me to enjoy, also the tutorial has been enough of a test for me, i’m hooked.
