Chaotic Airport Construction Manager
Hell, what a crap. :steamfacepalm: A good laugh for like 10 minutes, but an eternal bane on your game statistics.
It is literally impossible to finish this. Even some of the harder achievements (which are doable) aren’t triggering.
Loads of achievements with neither description nor hint.
Yes, the real airport was excruciating. This game emulates that experience well. All too well I’d say, for we will see about reality in October 2020.

The thing with simulation games is that they’re either meme-ladden wannabe-satire which isn’t as much clever as it’s only bearable for 5 minutes and even that only when you’re high. Or they’re realistic, unwieldy and require a university degree to get even through the tutorial.
This one combines the bost of both worlds: it’s exceptionally realistic while being accessible. Get your own airport now*!

I love the game concept, but only thing that developer could add would be save feature so you dont lose progress after quitting.

Interesting concept, but not much to do.
The game presents you with “targets” for the next level, but once you get enough money, you can simply invest how much you want and you’ll only advance to the next level easily. The lack of achievements makes me not want to keep leveling up.
Also, the game doesn’t save between sessions.

The Invisible Hand
Great Concept, But Not Great Execution
Pros:
I found this game very relevant given the recent activity with stocks like Gamestop and AMC. People are really hyped up on stocks but many don’t even know what shorting a stock means. This game can provide you a basic education on stocks and some insight on what it is like to be a stock trader which is really pretty cool. You will learn how the world is interconnected such as when lumber prices go up housing prices tend to follow suit or how a war in a country can affect the prices of certain goods. This game also hints that there is some manipulation in the trading world and quite frankly I absolutely 100% agree with that.

Interesting concept, but flawed execution. The writing should have been done by real writers, as its about as subtle as a sledgehammer driving a tack through a wall, but I’m glad it’s there. This is the only stock sim game that is wrapped around any kind of narrative, to my knowledge (aside from Wall Street Kid on OG Nintendo). The game is very, very light on realism, as all you can do is buy at current price and short at current price. The markets are quite reliably predictable, as well. If you want something like this but that feels somewhat more like a sim and is more difficult and complex, check out ‘wall street raider’ or ‘speculator’ by roninsoft.

Freedom Defender
This game sat in my library unplayed for 18 months because I though it was just going to be a tacky, novelty joke game. It’s actually very well made and a lot of thought and effort has gone in to it. The music is particularly good.
Other than being a Lane Tower Defense it is nothing like Plants vs. Zombies. There are 35 levels which can all be done again in New Game+, 7 Mini-Games and Survival Mode. Throughout the 35 levels the goal is to prevent the Hexicans, Burubs, Commies and Aliens from crossing your border. There are a lot of different enemy units and units to battle them with however you are restricted to only picking 6 at a time and I found myself pretty much sticking to the same ones.

Well, what can I say?
Young me played ‘Plants vs. Zombies’ (a game which you can find as a comparison / reference in 90 % of the reviews here, since it was / is the most popular tower defense game) when it was published years ago - and I loved it. Then, I tried out Freedom Defender after a recommendation and my long lost love-feelings for tower defense games have immediately been evoked once again. I loved every minute of this game.
I can say, that it’s the best tower defense game i have played in the last couple of years.

tic tac toe but with abilities! wow
so i’m already actually a fairly big fan of ultimate tic-tac-toe - i find it pretty fun and much less solvable than normal. additionally, i’m a huge sucker for people slamming mechanics onto simple games. so this is pretty much my jam! it’s fun and neat and cool and $2

This game has the potential to be a decent game, but it has a number of frustrating bugs that have never been fixed that greatly take away from the game experience. For that reason I can not currently recommend this game to anyone, however if they ever issue an update that fixes these bugs then I would definitely change my review to reflect that as the game would be more playable.
Bug #1: Game can become unplayable due to a livelock. To reproduce, wait until the start of a new day when you have one pre-work action available. Bring up the Social Map, then click on any person to bring up their Spacebook profile on the left. Click “Like” on any of their Spacebook posts and the game triggers “work mode” that pops up a dialogue box half on top of Spacebook on the left, and half underneath the Social Map on the right. You have to ALT-F4 out of the game as input is no longer processed at all.

While this game is rather funny and the puns are witty, the actual gameplay gets old pretty fast. It’s an okay time sink, but if you’re looking into buying it, I would wait for a sale.
You have a limited amont of actions per day - 1 before work and 3 after, and 6 actions on Saturday/Sunday. Writing one message or SpaceBook post, requesting one friend, REJECTING a friend/relationship request etc takes up one action. Oh, and you have to make sure you eat or your health starts declining, so eating will take at least one action per day. Of course, you can organize events to restaurants and be social, but some events take more than 3 actions. It feels a bit silly that grabbing a burger and pressing one “Thumbs Up” to someone posting a bunch of random lyrics takes the same amount of actions.

Austen Translation
This is a cute, casual game inspired by Jane Austen’s works and the culture of her time. Each game is fairly quick to play (about 10-15 minutes), which turned me off at first, but then I decided I liked that since I can play it even if I don’t have much time. I love the graphic style, and the game play is amusing. It did take me a few tries before I really got the hang of it, so don’t get discouraged it you’re confused at first.
I was a little worried about replay value, but the game has more variety than you’d expect at first glance. Each game has the socialites attending four events, each of which is briefly described. The events are selected at random, so you can play several games in a row without much overlap. (There are some random variables in the descriptions also, where the names and preferences of different bachelors are inserted.) I’ve played probably two dozen times or more and there are some events I’ve only seen once or twice.

Greatest Regency-era YAWHG-like in the Galaxy!
Alright, so you’ve played The YAWHG or Monster Prom and want more of the same, right? Well, sorry to disappoint, but this game is far fancier and schmancier than anything else EVER. One might say, all other games are NOCD.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if one wishes to make an Austen homage, one better get the language right. And by turf n' thunder, Austen Translation accomplishes this and more. The geniuses at Worthing & Moncrieff parrot Miss Austen’s prose, pacing, style, themes, memes, AND manage to get the historical details spot on.

Political Animals
I’m an ultimate newbie here, but here’s my experience with the game so far:
1. Customization - I’m very particular about details, so I really, really liked customizing every bit of the traits, skills, and weaknesses of my Lion and staff (my favorite so far is Eduardog the Preacher) and my platform. You also get to choose the length of the campaign, starting funds, and difficulty of your AI opponent. (Since it was my first game, I opted for the shortest campaign, the highest amount of funds and an easy but corrupt AI opponent.)

Enjoyable Experience!
Won my first campaign on Winter Island by a whisker! Didn’t quite figure out the scandals, but my Wolf of Baker Street had me covered with his deep pockets!
There’s a lot of information to absorb initially, the depth is kinda all there in your face right at the start.
It’s still manageable, the icons and neat UI help tremendously.
I like that there’s stuff to strategise right from the initial setup.
I was curious if certain character traits might synergise well, or be better suited to certain maps.
