I absolutely love this game. I find it very relaxing. Well, maybe not relaxing… as it also gives me anxiety. Let me explain: this game lights up every single one of my OCD receptors. Straighten up a room? Yes, please! Pick up all the trash? Ding, ding, ding! Remove/fix problems? Now we’re cooking with gas! Pick up all the “whatever” of that specific group? Bingo! Yahtzee! We’ve got a winner!
And then the anxiety sinks in: I am way too excited about this. This is giving me waaaaaay too much joy. I may need to find a therapist. This can’t be normal.

Rescue HQ - The Tycoon
These type of games are very calming to me. I enjoy the planning and then watching the everyday theatre play before my eyes. Then the bloody alarm goes off and I realise I have do something!
There is a campaign mode so you can start small then expand as your experience increases or, if you are like me, you just like messing with the ‘sandbox’ mode. The campaign is great for learning how to manage everything. It is not easy trying to run a split-shift system with 3 different agencies AT THE SAME TIME. You really need to build-up to that or you will be throwing things at the cat/dog/wife/children.

This game for me felt weird. I liked it, but there where some downsides. (But maybe I am just bad at it so they seemed like downsides)
First the games pace. At the beginning it can feel a bit slow then at the end it can get quite frantic. The jump happens quite quick leaving no middle game. Towards the end, as an example, emergencies are asking for 20 plus cops and will take like 6 hours to resolve. Since the middle game barley exist, it can seem overwhelming as you have not built up your forces.

Zoo Constructor
Very nice sandbox successor to Zoo Games for zen designing and critter co-habitation finangling. Very much look forward to the full product. I consider my early access purchase an investment.

Candy Machine
Candy Machine runs unacceptably slowly, has extremely poor to outright non-existent tutorialisation, and a UI that doesn’t scale with almost any of the available resolutions that it offers in the launcher.
The $9 asking price is almost offensive, given that this game’s polish (or lack thereof) is something that would still be considered a disappointment of a $0.49 game. It could almost be considered worthwhile for the sub-$1 price point if you REALLY love the genre but have no money and are willing to put up with a mutilated version of it, but for this price just get one of the many, many games that do it much better.

I would say that for the game’s current state it’s ok. But the machines/conveyors need to not place when you click on a menu. It gets a bit frustrating when you have to delete something that you didn’t place over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over. Other then that, it’s a good game so far with some very good potential to it!

Captain Forever Trilogy
I want to write a lot more about this game, but I am not a games-journalist so I’ll keep it brief.
I love this series, I loved the originals, and that love extends wholeheartedly to this collection as well. While that may give me rose-tinted glasses, this game will buy you a pair for sure.
The gameplay is tight, responsive, and non-stop. You will not get a chance to catch a breather, and if that’s your fetish then welcome to the pain-pit. You will have dizzying highs, only to be brought low suddenly when a girder in your ship gets blown up- along with the entire rear end of your ship. It sounds bull, but you’re in control of the design of your ship and the skill in piloting that particular design. In this way the game has enormous replay potential, especially considering you can hijack the info buoy in successor by building a cage around it. Free thrust! More spawn but I’ve never been able to capture more than one.

this game is space lego. depending on the ONE of THREE games ya pick you have varying options.
the oldest and truest one, Captain Forever has guns, armor, and thrusters. there isn’t much varriation within your loadout, but it’s how you use it, how it’s blown to peices, and how you deal with scary situations that transform a good game into a great one. captain forever is fairly well balanced. even when stepping up from Foxtrot to Golf, you can feel “safe enough” to go ballsdeep and have a fun time

Overcrowd: A Commute ‘Em Up
Note that I was a pre-release tester, however aside from the free key I was not paid for my time or under any obligation to play the game.
First thing to say is the art style is fantastic. If you like the screenshots then you won’t be disappointed! Occasionally things can be a bit hard to see due to the isometric viewpoint, however you can rotate the map 4 ways and view each level of your station individually if required.
In its current start of early access state I find the game really fun to play. You design your station as with any other sim type game but then you’ve also got to deal with the running of it. Staff can be equipped with tools and they will deal with problems (litter / crime / repairs etc.) within their area (perception), but if they don’t have the right tool or if the incident is too far away from them you’ll need to get involved. Some people get round this by having lots of staff with varying tools posted around, I personally like to micromanage a bit more and have less staff with better speed stats who I can use to react to problems as they come up. You also have to keep your staff rested so they don’t become useless!

The short version: this is a great simulation game and it’s definitely worth the price, even as an Early Access game.
Good stuff
-
The art is amazing and makes me wish I were back in London. (Would be wonderful to have art variations for certain assets, like billboards and coffee shops.)
-
The spatial aspects are satisfying to solve in the long-term — e.g., planning how to connect different subway lines that are perpendicular to one another and separated by three levels, while also incorporating an additional station entrance somewhere in the middle.

5 Star Miami Resort
I was a beta tester for this game. I enjoyed it then. The puzzles are challenging but not so much as to cause frustrations. I ended up going back and I’m currently playing the game again to get all the achievements which didn’t all transfer over from the beta.
This is another solid match 3 from RokaPlay. I enjoy it much more than like Hawaii Resort, for example. If you are a match 3 aficionado, I’d certainly recommend trying this. It has cute graphics and nice ambient sound effects. It’s what you’ve come to expect from Roka if you’ve consistently played their games.

Another solid effort. Fun match 3 game. Not timed, rather you are restricted by number of moves. Cute artwork, funny dialogue.

Bridge! 2
Good game, great support team. I certainly like Bridge! 2.
I bought this one and hope to see Bridge! 3 with way better phisics than this one.
I didn’t notice any diference in graphics and phisics between 1st one and 2nd one.
Let’s just compare by zise - this one 0.5Gb. I would like to see 4Gb game which goes in more powerfull PCs.
And i’m ready to shell out 5 times more for good Bridge! 3.

This would be a great game . . . if you could finish it. Unfortunately there’s a bug partway through the medium difficulty session that prevents completion of that level and there’s no way to skip it. Equally unfortunately, the developer (who promised to fix it five years ago) took his money and ran. If you see a game by Toxtronyx or by Martin Beyer, my advice is: DON’T buy it

Cities: Skylines
Great game with loads of content and mods to keep the game fun. New DLC’s are a big reason why I’m still playing this game after so many years. I wouldn’t recommend buying them for the full price though, they are quite expensive. Just wait for a sale where most of them are 50% off.

If you’re into building stuff from scratch, loved Sim City, and cannot help yourself trying to do something better and more beautiful, buy the game. There’s nothing better. Be prepared to give a healthy chunk of your life, you budding City Planner!
Intuitive design, layered sophistication in game play, and plenty of mods and tools keeps you engaged for hundreds of hours.
I’m a relative amateur with a mere 339 hours of playtime. Just saying.
Enjoy!
