Cube Island
Eleven minutes in, and it makes no damn sense.
It is a mine-craft clone of sorts, with a pirate theme, but there seems to be no way to save a game, which really reduces it’s value. You also seem to start out with an infinite number of many resources, although torches don’t seem to work at all. I clicked a lot if keys, but of there is a way to craft, I have no clue what it would be. I checked the surprising short help list, and even what there was didn’t seem to work.
For example L is supposed to toggle my light, but it does nothing.

i pray to god this isnt a release, but a beta. if its a beta its salvageable. but currently it seems to be entirely creative with no ability to access inventory and gets very dark very fast. the movement is somehow jerky and laggy at the same time… and turning the camera or moving causes the entire screen to blur. dont bother trying to fix it in the options menu either. nothing is labeled, its just 4 sliders of undefined nonsense. i cant even use the top button in the play menu. if im doing something wrong please let me know but… currently its just bad.

Would I recommend this game? Yes! But to be honest, there are just about as many cons as there are pros, but first I will go to why I love this game so much -
Pros:
What can I say? I love each new thing added into the game. Every time the dev adds anything in, it seems to liven up my map even more. Things like smoke, water, and flags in the cities will move, and add a bit more life to something basic.
You can view your map in multiple ways, from grids to old time maps to elevation levels.

Fun time-waste for the money. 4/5 people completed a level. Therefore i give the game 4/5 stars.

Townscaper
Just an honest to goodness chill time. It’s definitely not a game, as the description itself even admits, but it excels as a tool to fulfill myriad purposes, be that of a creative outlet or simply a way to unwind for a few minutes. No time commitments, no goals and no real mechanics make Townscaper one of the purest sandboxes I’ve ever had the pleasure to spend some time in.
There is honest joy in placing random blocks on the grid and seeing them develop into houses, buildings, towns and discovering new shapes in the process, new special interactions between blocks.

It speaks volumes that most of the admittedly positive reviews of this game were made by people who clocked around 5-10 hours total. Townscaper is cute and fun for a day or two, but is severely lacking in features and diversity of content to be anything more than that. I was excited to explore it during Early Access, in the expectation that more features were on the way for the full release. A few months ago, however, the project exited Early Access, as the dev revealed that he has no plans to keep working on the project. This is extremely disappointing, as the project does have potential, but as it stands, it is extremely barebones, akin to an alpha build (sans the bugs), and with nothing on the horizon to turn this into an actual fully-fledged game, I unfortunately don’t recommend spending any money on it.

Sector Six
Note: If you don’t like Diablo-like games please read the last paragraph of this review.
This is like a Diablo game but it is also unique in its way, it is a side scroller, shooter and you build a ship instead of an armored warrior. If you know Diablo-like games you already know this game too is all about loot, grinding and mindlessly destroying, highly addictive stuff. It starts with a story and you shoot various enemies such as spacecrafts, repair drones, bombardment towers, a mini boss enemy you occasionally fight called Apex, and a variety of bosses which are cleverly designed, while dodging projectiles in a bullet-hell like style and stuff, but, after collecting enough compartments to make a build, whether making it through relic items or set items (just like the set items in Diablo), dodging stops, and spamming various abilities and destroying everything in your path begins, and then you go on to grind loot to destroy them more efficiently. So yeah, you get the idea, it is a Diablo game.

Before I start, let me note that since the game is in early access I’m giving it a bit more leeway than usual, but my recommendation is already for the game in its current state.
I’d bought the game through an external website without realising it was in early access, so I was a little anxious to discover it later. I don’t have many good experiences with unfinished games. But I’m glad to report that, despite not being able to finish the full story and the game having some issues, I already got enough fun out of it to be worth the price.

Mason: Building Bricks
The game is as advertised. You build, build, and build more. If you expect anything else, you will be disappointed. Overall, a relaxing experience.

i dont know why you paid $100 for this to be on steam. its ass

I’m not a big MC fan, so I’m always looking for a game that LOOKS like MC but with more muscle and a bigger challenge. However, this clone smacks of a college Computer Science project rather than a contender with the major players.
- While Craftsman tries its best to imitate the original, it stops at the keyboard commands. ‘V’ to quit? ‘E’ to start? The ESC key does nothing, so if you think pressing it will call up the menu so you can escape this nightmare, you’ll be sorely disappointed.
