With all of the reviews and people complained most of the time about the game, I was deterred. However, I still gave this game a chance. I’ve put 5 hours into it now, but I do have quite a lot to say about it.

For those of you who are familiar with FFXIV, you know crafting can be a pain and there are those that enjoy the grind. I’m one of those that enjoy the grind. The time doesn’t really bother me, and for a game that’s supposed to be post-apocalyptic and zombie infested, this seems rather realistic in a sense. You start from nothing, and it’s not about racing to the finish, it’s about making sure you survive and have set up good defenses and prepare yourself for what’s coming. I haven’t come across a crew member yet and I’ve died about 3 times already, and I’m fine with that.

This review is as of initial release, it is a hot mess that could turn good if developers focus on fixing issues.

The good

1: I will say I like the game for its ideals, it gives a good exploration experience.

2: Could be potentially good after more time in the oven.

The bad

1:Crafting times are horrible, it should not take a hour to make 30 seconds worth of rifle ammo.

2:Crafting should not be linked to your character if there is going to be such long crafting times for metals and charcoal.

Note to 2: I see npcs have the option for doing tasks; however npcs are currently broken with no english subtitles or dubbing, along with despawning of said npcs when attempting to restart the game dropping all items in possession on the ground except the equippables, which simply vanish with the npc.

7 Days to Die

7 Days to Die

You like open world? You like exploring? You like being creative? You like dying? Well maybe not that last part, but its going to happen depending on your settings. With the creative aspect, new P.O.I.s to explore and the inherent danger that follows, this game opens your world to the complete experience of what an open world game should be. I didn’t even mention horde night. Prepare yourself for an onslaught of zombies and test those creative skills. Can you survive until morning? I have over 1000 hours into this game and the amount of content available (to include the new update A20 which should be coming soon) Its like a new game every time I play it. A must play.

All these nay-sayers! Ok, so it’s still in Alpha, but to me, that isn’t a bad thing worthy of negative feedback! They have an already epic and fun game to play for free roam, base building survival players who enjoy having something to play with friends. They are CONSTANTLY upgrading, changing, and fixing things up based on the feedback. They did not decide to just whip out an indy game that could be improved and say “finished!” They chose to stick with it.

Sure it says “Alpha” and “early release” but this game is better than most supposedly “finished” games I have seen on steam. There may be some things that would chase a few off, but over all it is great and fun to play. It’s definitely got replay-ability (which most build your own base games lack) and there is enough variance in maps that I do not think I have been on the same one twice.

Miasma Caves

Miasma Caves

The gameplay of Miasma Caves is very simple: Explore a cave, find treasure, escape alive to sell said treasure in town, repeat.

The Cons:

  • No Automap (for an exploration game this is a huge drawback)

  • Intermediate cave levels are a bottleneck in difficulty (rocks fall, everybody dies faints)

  • Not much of a story

  • A few minor bugs

The Pros:

  • Over 150 different treasure items of 4 different categories

  • Town can be developed

  • A lot of variety in available tools, which allows for different approaches of exploration.

Real player with 150.1 hrs in game

I have played enough Miasma Caves to recommend it. You play a dragon-lady who spelunks a procedurally-generated cave in search of treasure and you’re a pacifist, so that means that you don’t attack any of the monsters inside. But you still can get hurt (such as from cave-ins, and falls, and the titular miasma), and there’s still a challenge in seeing how far you can go whilst getting out alive! It’s a fun game and I recommend it to anyone, especially those who loved Leila “Woofle” Wilson’s soundtrack in Freedom Planet; some of the greatness in that soundtrack is carried over in this game.

Yes there are zombies, but you’ll probably die of thirst.

This was terrible. No ammo to be found, the survival meters go down so so quickly. Shooting zombies feels underwhelming. Overall, very boring and just awful.

Robo-Worms

Robo-Worms is a fun PVP Battle Royale game to play with a group of friends. The PVP is intriguing and nothing like any Battle Royale game that I have played before. I’m excited to put some more time into this game and become more experienced in the unique PVP Robo-Worms provides.

Story

In a post-apocalyptic world, you awake inside of a dark bunker. The bunker has kept you safe for many months, however, rations are running low and systems are failing. Exploration of once familiar world remains your only chance for survival. In this new environment you will be tested and constantly reminded of how close to death you truly are.

Hardcore Survival Experience

Beware this game will test you! It will push you to the brink of death and if you somehow survive, this world will find a new way to kill you. You start with a limited supply of food, water, and oxygen. You will need to build, automate, and explore if you are to have any hope of surviving. Seriously though, this game is made by lunatic and you will die.

Build System

You will need to build everything… and I mean everything from power, plumbing, air/water purification, storage, food, defense systems. Did I mention this world wants to kill you? How you choose to greet death is your choice.

Particle Based Physics System

Elements will be able to change states and flow just like they would in real life. So yes that means we will have solids, liquids, gases running on a particle based physics simulation. I am not saying you should go to college as a physics major before playing this game, but hey, it might help. Some people call this the dark souls of survival games… you should probably just move on.

3d Platformer

The game is built in 3d world which you will be able to see through a 2d third person view… Gamers who play platformers like super meat boy, terraria, or hallow knight will feel at home navigating this world.

20 Minute Metropolis - The Action City Builder

20 Minute Metropolis - The Action City Builder

I’ll confess I’m biased because a friend that works for me did some of the artwork on this and I’ve long been a fan of Dejobaan.

This is a fun, bite-sized strategy game and less than $3. It’s hard to go wrong. I can’t think of any time I’ve actually regretted spending $3, but this was enjoying to play, and I will keep trying to get my name on the top page.

I would love to see a couple quality of life improvements: namely drag and drop roads, hotkeys or an expanded toolbar so I don’t have to fuss with the selection menus. Daily leaderboards would be nice too, so I have a better chance at the top ten.

Real player with 4.8 hrs in game

Super fun and hectic. It can become a little easy after you’ve figured out a good strategy but you can always use a different starting perk which adds and takes away some difficulty. The models are really cute, reminds me of a toy town or Lego.

Some improvements I’d make would be, dragging roads to build instead of clicking for each tile. This isn’t a big issue, but could herald RSI if played too often.

I’d like more maps, a random map generation would be cool, it would make each run very different and unique.
