Magicademia
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1302150/Magicademia/
Welcome to the enchanted lands where magic is real and flourishing! Build your very own magical academy from the ground, hire the best and the worst teachers that the magical world has to offer. Manage disasters and celebrate your victories in this brand new enchanting tycoon game!
Build your school
Create the magic school of your dreams! Use money and resources to create new rooms and hire staff, but be wary of trouble and irresponsible adults ruining your establishment. Solve the oddest mysteries and help your students achieve their best (or at least a pass) at school!
Build rooms and customise them to your heart’s content with just a few clicks in our creation tool! There are over 10 types of classrooms there to be created, but watch out for overcrowded classes and teachers lacking the skill to tame a hoard of students!
Do not worry! Every teacher and student will learn in due time! You can also pause your game and just hire a new banch of less incompetent ones! Or speed up the game and manage incoming disasters on the go! You (literally!) have all the time in this world!
Hire the staff
There is a big variety of teachers you can hire in your brand new school. Their abilities, skills and teaching power will determine the fate of their students and the amount of… misadventures they might have during the class. But not to worry, with every lesson they learn something on their own and they come closer and closer to becoming the best teacher!
Not only the teachers are vital to life in the academy, you need crystal engineers who will manage and fix your power sources. There are also janitors who will take care of the mess after a failed alchemy lesson or a ghost roaming the school.
Your trusty staff will take care of the most unusual occurrences that may happen in your school and celebrate graduations of your students with the proper fanfare!
Meet your students
Your students are not only the source of your pride, but also your income! The more students the more money, but can you manage that hoard of teenagers?
Every student has a different set of skills and dreams, so having a lot of classes will let them flourish! Your best students will become your pride and joy (and also a great source of school’s prestige)!
Let them study day and night, but do not forget to build dormitories so they can also have some rest, and enjoy watching their first attempts at wizardry!
Students are divided into classes by colour so it is easy to recognise where is which class and how are the students by the neatness of their uniforms.
Let the magic guide you!

Spellcaster University
This game straddles the line between game and simulator, and it might leave people looking for either one disappointed. I, however, love this game, so I want to talk about it a bit.
The gameplay almost exclusively involves making choices from a mostly-random selection. You draw from a deck or speak to a faction, and then you choose the option that seems to serve your needs best. You have a limited time to make these choices because the Lord of Evil makes you move along almost as soon as you get rolling. The overall idea is to emerge from the storm of randomness with a healthy selection of graduates who buff your stats for the rest of the campaign. Ultimately, you run out of places to hide, so you have to find a way to survive the final level.

Charming if a bit clunky Hogwarts Sim Tower, card-draw based room choices. Can generate different mana as resources, which allow you to draw more cards of that mana type.
The mechanics are enjoyable, and the game is a great calm, casual experience. The campaign could use a lot of adjustment, it can feel a bit arbitrary and the only real direction is either provided through trial and error or community written walk-throughs. There isn’t particularly a feeling of progressing difficulty or even a real link between the areas as you progress. Challenge cards (You can optionally set a challenge at the start of the campaign, and completing it will unlock the card for future runs) are a cool way to provide goals, but they feel like a side piece rather than a main progressing thread. Some functionality/depth seems underwhelming on it’s impact on the game. Cool ideas, but they don’t actually end up doing a lot for you if you spend time manage them (ex. get 3-5 school “houses”, set priority to different types of magic for the house, drop the people gifted in those types in those houses, stop thinking about houses. There’s rarely a benefit to tweaking house settings beyond the initial setup).

Wands
I genuinely love this game. Wands has a totally unique style of gameplay that strongly emphasises strategy. It’s PvP wizard dueling!
Some important points:
There is no free movement here; instead, you teleport to a fixed set of “tiles” in each of the six arenas. This has two implications for your experience: 1) it’s super comfortable; the only motion you experience is what you physically do in your space and 2) the gameplay comes down to your ability to control your opponents' access to these tiles. Sure, it’s limiting. You don’t get to whiz around in VR using the latest creative control scheme. However, gameplay-wise, this is probably Wands' greatest strength; the limitation of movement makes this essentially a full-information game. There are very few cutsie tricks that you discover from the arenas by way of experience (though there are a handful) as you would find in other PvP games. Most importantly, your opponent can’t hide. If you understand each arena and each spell, you are perfectly capable of formulating a unique strategy that will surprise even the most experienced opponent.

This game is brilliant. I had it on Viveport subscription for a month and consequently decided to buy it on Steam.
It’s a PvP game where you battle it out with wands. Quite a strategic game and highly addictive. Especially when you really, really want to beat that one person who keeps killing you.
If you don’t like PvP it’s not for you, as there’s no real single-player mode. But if you want a PvP VR game and you’ve always fancied yourself as a wizard or mage, then frankly you need this game in your VR library! Plus it’s actually offered at a reasonable price.

Conquest of Elysium 5
Conquest of Elysium 5 is the next iteration of the past CoE games with more content, and with nearly the same (pixel art) graphics that were used in Civilization 2. They have gotten a little better over the years, but not much. If you played CoE4, there are three new factions, new modding tools, and new “Planes” within each map to conquer. The biggest difference for me from the previous version was not just that there was more to conquer though, it is that the “more” that exists is also now much more accessible. More on this below:

Royal Bounty HD
Heroes of Might & Magic (HoMM) is my favorite game series of all time. Playing Royal Bounty HD (RB) brought back fond memories of HoMM 1. The art design, the map, the hero, even the ambient sounds made me think of playing HoMM back in 1994. This is not to say, though, that RB is a HoMM clone. It most definitely is not. It has its own game style with its own unique set of rules. A key difference is that there is no castle with buildings to construct and the associated troops to hire. RB is first and foremost an exploration game. You travel over a single, huge map uncovering troops to assist you in your endeavors and enemies with which to battle. Teleporters are scattered over the landscape that catapult you and your army to far-flung regions of the map, somewhat in a puzzle fashion.

Great Trip down memory lane. 8/10, just one more turn and I go to bed.
Edit : Just finished the game. Sadly, each continent is less interesting than the last.
FINAL REVIEW : What a waste to program a whole game (units, AI, buildings etc.) and then rushes the map design. I recommand playing the first continent until the boss fight and then uninstall.
Here conme a detailed review of each continent. Devs, please keep improving the game, it does have potential. Just find a good map maker.
Forestria : 8/10

Runeverse: The Card Game
New F2P card game, quite fun is like starting Hearthstone from scratch, to my liking even better since it has more strategy due to various factors in the gameplay. It is a clone of HS very well made but it has things from other classic games such as declaring attacks and blocks manually, the cards have animation on the board where the characters are seen, play card from your hand (ambush).
330 free cards for now of which very few have a random rng effect. Seasons with prizes with real money. Esta muy fácil el farmeo de oro ya que la entrada de lo que seria la arena/battlegrounds es free. Easy gold farming and free. Full friendly for F2Players.

Highly Recommended
This is a good card game. Very similar to Hearthstone, so if you enjoyed that or MTG…you’ll like this, A LOT.
If the DEVS don’t make the same stupid mistakes Blizzard and Wizards did this could be a top tier CCG. Didn’t notice any bugs during my limited play time. Game ran smoothly with all mechanics working properly for the cards used. No ridiculous cash shop prices and “elite” cards can be earned through play (the way all games should be).
Also, I was pleased to notice no political or social propaganda in the GAME I was enjoying. (*cough Blizzard/Wizards)

Witch Stone
Lucky me gets to write the first review for Witch Stone, which is a 2D mobile app tier clicker/physics puzzle from known asset flippers, Piece of Voxel. This is a basic retro puzzle game that plays like Bust-A-Move but without shooting, you just click on balls to make them fall and if they fall the right way they pop.
The artwork is minimal and looks to be phoned in/asset flipped (not a surprise, this is Piece of Voxel we’re dealing with).
There’s no working full screen mode, in fact, if you hit alt+enter, Piece of Voxel actually go out of their way to insult PC gamers by telling you they won’t allow you to try switch to full screen (“Don’t even try, i won’t let you do it), then terminate the game. Insulting your customers is not a winning strategy, but then this is Piece of Voxel, who make a living stealing other people’s work and trying to sell it on Steam as a scam. What’s that? Oh yes:
