Ancient Go
Early Access Day 1 review:
Edit: Thumbs up because it looks promising. (I’d hold off getting it until counting method issues are resolved, hopefully.)
Project seems promising. It includes basic tutorials for rules and scoring, a VS. AI mode and an Online multiplayer mode.
The AI is not particularly strong on any setting (Hard is when it starts playing slightly better moves, maximum tends to take a bit more time to play moves, but not a LOT of time.) So (at least at this stage) the AI is really meant for beginners. It would be nice to get a stronger one later down the line, but I’d rather see good multiplayer added than the focus be on AI.

“Ancient Go” aims to be an app for total beginners to Go, which is great. Currently, outside of “Ancient Go,” the only other app out there on Steam is “Crazy Stone Deep Learning -The First Edition-,” which is $79.99. However, “Crazy Stone” is arguably meant for committed Go players, who are much stronger at the game. So, “Ancient Go” is a cheaper alternative for “Crazy Stone” that allows the Steam community to start playing Go at a cheaper price. That said, “Ancient Go” has its strengths and weaknesses.

Endless ATC
This is an amazing little game.
The game starts out very simply, with just a few planes to control. As you guide them successfully to their destinations, the number of planes in your space increases, and so does your mental load.
A simple and effective interface lets you put your air traffic plan into action almost as quickly as you can think it (via any combination of keyboard, mouse, and touch).
Before long, you must be completely focused on managing the traffic to keep everything running smoothly and your score increasing.

I’m not easily impressed, but this is really good.
It has all the complexities of the real thing:
-
Standard Instrument Departures
-
Standard Terminal Arrivals
-
Parallel approaches
-
Airspace restrictions
-
Minimum Safe Altitudes
-
Separation criteria
-
Wake turbulence separation
-
Emergencies
And it’s all packed into a UI that is so easy to learn and simple to use, it actually makes the complex task of controlling air traffic look like child’s play.
Designers of RL ATC software, move over! Look at this title and explain to me why “the real thing” always looks so damn complicated, because this simulation here proves what an intuitive UI can look like.

Game For Anna
A solid primer for the main game “Darkness Under My Bed”. This short point and click game has several endings and some really interesting puzzles. At this time I believe I have fully completed it. ~ 1.5 hours to figure out all the endings.

StOoPiD Puzzle Game
This is totally an unbiased review. Who would have guessed. EZ Game. Jerry Loves you :D

This jigsaw game is pretty simple; it has nice photo puzzles where you can see the darkened image so placement of pieces is relatively simple–the piece will also jump into place if you are just near its spot. The music is soothing and I like the encouraging voice as you complete each puzzle. My only very minor quibble is when you try to choose a specific piece a different one clicks up–not always but enough to be a minor irritant. But all in all a good game :-)

3D Jigsaw Puzzle Simulator
I liked the 3d feel to this game. It is really a unique game the way pieces can be picked up, overlapping, and even upside down. Sometime pieces will fall on the floor instead of the table and you will need to navigate to pick them up. Strangely enough I enjoy the challenges of placing pieces. However, the update in the spring kind of broke the enjoyment because the graphics look like you are putting together a quilt instead of a puzzle. The borders are too distracting so it is difficult to know which piece goes where. If development can provide the option so the graphics clearly transition to the next piece as before I would make this my favorite puzzle game. Right now it is borderline to recommend the game because of the quilt appearance, but do like the developers ingenuity.

When I was a child I liked to solve puzzles, the game helped me to recall memories. Great implementation! Can’t remember such thing made in 3d setup.

112 Operator
Overview
Ol' Il Pallino has a confession to make: He’s never played 9-1-1 Operator going into 1-1-2 Operator, so this review most likely won’t be helpful for players who wonder how both games compare. The selling point for 1-1-2 Operator is obviously the feature that allows players to play sandbox games in any city in the world. Campaigns, however, are limited to a handful of cities in Europe and the gray area that is Istanbul, Turkey. Both the sandbox and campaign start with a story of the player becoming an emergency dispatcher managing a single district through a probationary period, and after three shifts, the player presumably does well enough to unlock more regions on the map (the player gets to pick which regions in sandbox mode) and also gains more units and personnel along the way. (New vehicles may be purchased once unlocked. Equipment may also be purchased for police, medical, and fire units to perform specialized tasks or to simply make units more skillful.) As the player progresses, the situations become more hectic, but if the player knows anything about unit and resource management (and you probably do, or else you wouldn’t be reading this review) the player should have no problem staying on top of tasks no matter how overwhelmed the player feels seeing icons appearing on the screen requesting any combination of police, medical, and/or fire units, and all in real time.

DISCLAIMER: I backed 112 Operator on Kickstarter, and have been playing since Closed Alpha.
TL;DR: I recommend 112 Operator, especially if you’re a fan of 911 Operator.
Features
All the features and events from 911 Operator and its DLCs are there, e.g. earthquake, blackouts, search request, etc. So what about the new features promised in-this game?
[olist]
- New fire mechanics is one of the highlights of their promotion. Mechanically it works, and it does pose a large challenge to manage this event while considering things like the weather and wind. However, based on experience (on very early build), the mechanics is let down by the often poor pathfinding that the units take. I have had several instances where police units were stuck between the fire or can’t find a proper path to a clear area, thus failing evacuation on the fire’s path. This might’ve been improved in release, but sadly I haven’t been able to see this in action since large area fires occurs very rarely in campaign, and almost never occur in free-game.

A very simple and fun physics-based game. The graphics and controls are minimalist but they work well for the concept. It took me a little over three hours to complete all 48 levels; the dev has hinted that there may be more levels coming soon and I will definitely be interested if/when they are available.

Help me please
You are the last survivor of an army unit designed to contain the spread of zombies from a closed city.
You can’t negotiate with zombies, you can’t bribe or promise something in return, they will slowly but surely follow you wherever you go to destroy you.
It’s impossible to hide from zombies, they always sense where you’re hiding and will soon catch up with you.
The only way to escape is to destroy them first.
But it’s not that easy, the city is full of traps.
Every corner or building could be hiding something deadly.
