Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon
IN A WORD: MAYBE
IN SHORT:
WHAT TO EXPECT: Third-person shooter. Japanese disaster movie setting. Titanic battles vs arachnid style aliens. Starship Troopers feel. Limited campaign with short missions. Survival and dynamic campaign+ extend play. Dated but passable graphics. Really good soundtrack. Fun but repetitive gameplay. Only four classes. Tons of unlockable weapons with some variation. Average voice-acting. Very grindy achievements. Badly designed survival mode which no one playing. Very slow levelling.

“When you get to hell, tell them the EDF sent ya!”
TL;DR- In spite of all its flaws, and even in the face of a better EDF alternative on the PC, Insect Armageddon still remains an enjoyable shooter that can still deliver many hours of funtimes. Wanna run around and shoot big bugs - this is not a bad game to do so in.
As a quick primer for the uninitiated, Earth Defense Force is a series of third person shooters, developed by Japanese studio Sandlot, which puts players in large fully-destructible levels, equips them with hundreds of wildly different weapons and faces them off against overwhelming numbers of giant insects, UFOs and giant robots. It is beloved by its fans for its fun, frantic gameplay, the ridiculous scale of many of the battles, the ludicrous variety of weapons and the endearingly camp tone of its story and presentation. I am one of these fans, and I absolutely adore these games, having played through EDF 2, 3 and 4.

Main Assembly
If you have a creative drive or artistic eye, this game is great for allowing you to express yourself through your builds. The controls are a little wonky to start with and the building “flow” seems un-intuative at first. But it doesn’t take long to figure out how things work. If you have any experience with 3d animation or model building, this is definately in that “wheelhouse”. This feels more like working with clay, than sticking blocks together. There’s a decent amount of additional add-on pieces like hinges and servos, as well as pistons and specialized tools like the suction cup or drill head. The physics in-game are decent as well. Although, to me, the atmosphere feels thin. When taking off in a flyer, it feels more like your breaking the surface friction, than pushing yourself through the air resistance.

Poorly designed and poorly made. Does not feel like a 1.0 game. Most controls can’t be rebound, and the input system is super buggy. Most controls can’t be bound to controller. The vehicle chase camera is awful, requiring constant hands on the controls just to see where you’re going, and like most badly designed things in this game, it’s not adjustable. It’s especially heinous in the space parts of the game, where you can end up upside down relative to the camera, which is just stupid. The game has very few options. There isn’t even a “reset options to default” button, so if you break something, which is very likely, you’re SOL. Multiplayer is a disaster, with horrible lag and desync making any kind of interaction or collision impossible. The challenges mode where you unlock parts and cosmetics is half interesting and half miserable. I ended up getting an automatic collectible grabber bot from the workshop because the sandbox levels with 45 stars were such a chore.

AirMech Strike
Updated 03/30/18 - Post Early Access
AirMech Strike is a PvP based Action RTS set in the near future, in the aftermath of an apocalyptic war that decimated humanity across the globe, driven by versatile weapons of war, AirMechs.
The basic gameplay of AirMech revolves around using one of the nine different titular AirMechs move and command an army of a variety of units, capturing outposts to serve as deployment points for new units, and ultimately destroy the event fortress.
AirMech has been called a MOBA, but I think it far more accurate to think of AirMech as an RTS where your cursor can itself damage and be damaged by enemy units. This mechanic allows in AirMech for gameplay and strategy to occur that is not found in any other game. Destroy the enemy airmech, and they’ll be unable to route reinforcements to the outpost that you’re attacking until they get back in. You’ll be able to stage a surprise assault elsewhere that they won’t be able to deal with until they respawn. Destroying the enemy airmech greatly expands your tactical options and adds a new layer of strategy to RTS.

Hey you, Yeah you!
Do you like mobas?
How about RTS games?
Giant Transforming Robots?
If you said yes to any of the above, then you should try out Airmech. If you didn’t, it is still a free game and you have nothing to lose.
Now you may be asking: “What is Airmech?” Airmech is moba style Games with some Real Time Strategy elements mixed in for a fresh spin on the classic moba gamestyle.
Players control Airmechs, giant mechs that are able to transform into various planes and helicopters at the will of the pilot. There are currently nine different airmechs(as of me typing this) that players can choose from, and more designs are planned to be added in the future! Each of the nine different airmechs play differently, each are equiped with different kinds of guns, missiles, and melee weapons along with 8 preset upgrades that will be unlocked as the mech levels up each match.

Generation Zero®
Rating: 4/10
Generation Zero has a really cool concept, but sadly gets very repetitive after a while.
All the enemy machines are creative and pretty cool, only very few of them. They do however have some variations each which gives different weapons etc.
The map is gorgeous and really looks like Sweden, but after a while you will have looted the same few houses scattered over the map hundreds of times.
Three or four times my GF and I have started this game over, but we have never been able to finish it before it gets too boring and repetitive.

This is gonna be a long review…
The Positive:
So this game like many others released in 2019 was plagued with bugs at the start, some of them game breaking. The developers have worked REALLY hard making the game better and adding more content. I only see a minor bug roughly every 12 hours of play now a days and they can usually be ignored.
The gun play feels good and breaking of the different parts/armor of robots is almost therapeutic, especially when you learn all the parts and know how to disable specific functions to make a fight easier. The story while simple feels realistic and gives you a lot of freedom to do what you want and explore where you want. The game is beautiful! It looks better than most games released this year and the atmosphere is amazing! There is a really good balance in difficulty that makes every engagement feel dangerous (at least when playing solo) and even the most crazy fights don’t feel impossible with proper planning, prep work, and knowledge.

DRONE The Game
One hell of a game. Although still a prototype, I think you’ll enjoy the public release. I was a backer for this project and I can say that the money I spent was more than worth it. If you paid mind to the game’s info, you likely saw the 12 backer tiers. I started out at Tier 2 (“Traveler”) when I first heard of the game. When they released the multiplayer demos I couldn’t wait, so I bumped up to Tier 3 (“Explorer”) a few months later. Last year I decided to upgrade to Tier 4 (“Operator”), and as of 2 July 2019 I ended up upgrading to Tier 5 (“Engineer”) because this game really has turned out so well. If you needed proof for how much these guys delivered, here you go.

This game showed significant promise in its early stages, and the main draw for me was being able to build and fly my own little fighting drones in the editor - with the hope of eventually being able to create land-based units with tank treads or mechanical legs.
However, development on this title unfortunately seems to have slowed to a complete halt: there hasn’t been an update, not even a bugfix, in over a year, and there’s been no word on how development is progressing in about 6 months.
They succeeded in their promise of delivering a functional drone editor, but even then a good portion of its features and place-able parts are unfinished, and at the moment users are restricted to basic cubes which they can cut into other shapes, as opposed to the totally freeform shapes seen in prebuilt designs. There’s also the slight issue of players being able to min-max their builds to obscene effectiveness by just putting a bunch of wings or something.

Livelock
Livelock is a Scifi Top-Down Shooter in which you play a Machine implanted with the personality of a Human being called “Intellect” and after awakening from your glorious slumber you get sent off on your merry journey to revive Humanity.
The Game currently features 3 “Intellects” to choose from :
The Catalyst which has the Ability to go for Healing but also features a Damage oriented Playstyle skillset.
The Hex whose entire build is revolved around Flatout Burstdamage , Crit , High DPS and Mobility . but very squishy.

TL:DR - This is a fun little twin-stick, ability-shooter game with some nice variety and customization, but left me wishing there was more of it. I enjoyed the game’s bullet-hell brawler feel as a change of pace from more technical games like Helldivers or longer-term time sinks like Diablo 3. Worth playing.
Pros:
+Decent class variety. Offers 3 classes which each have a primary focus, but have several ways you can play them and different twists you can put on their abilities.
+Growth feels rewarding in the way it enhances power and increases playstyle options.

Planetary Annihilation: TITANS
It’s about time I sat down and gave this wonderful game a review.
In Short
PA is a game about big stuff. Massive armies. Massive titans. Massive possibility. No matter how you intend to play the game – casually, competitively, or even just striking it out on your own – you will find many hours of enjoyment not only wielding planet-smashing power, but also finding yourself improve over time as you learn the ins and outs of this humongous RTS. Just buy it already!
The Actual Review
– Real player with 2282.9 hrs in game
TLDR; great game, large scale, has nukes, can blow up planets, but can be fustratingly slow in the late game. The game is totally worth your money if it costs less than 5 dollars.
Update (1/27/19): The devs just announced that their servers have been optimized for more performance. I haven’t tested it out yet but it sounds very promising.
Ignoring the questionable decisions that the developers have made about the game, in terms of funness (you can say whatever you want, but the word is real to me), PA: Titans is one of the best RTS games that I have played. Unlike many other RTS games, the game runs on a flow economy, so rather than paying upfront the complete cost of a unit, your resources slowly drain as your unit becomes built, which leads to interesting tactics, like destroying most of the power generators of your opponent if you spot them building game enders, effectively pausing their production.
