ZAR
This game is not worth even .99. The map is useless, doesn’t show where you are and the flashlight doesn’t light up much of the area that you are in. I have yet to make it very far from the mountain start point before being killed. Maybe I just need a difficulty setting that is easier.

Oh my fucking god. I got this game from random steam key bundle… I bought it because i like new “deep in steam” games BUT THIS ONE IS WORST I HAVE EVER PLAYED. And fuck god I am done. This game looks nice in pictures even the reviews are good but they are FAKE. Because this game has HUGE map. BUT you will spawn in corner of it and you are not able to get somewhere where is something so you can for 5 minutes and get killed by zombie because u have only knife. I have died like 10 times and never even spotted any house or loot. So PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. REVIEWS ARE FAKE AND GAME IS UNPLAYABLE… REPEAT UNPLAYBLE

Isolation Story
I received a copy of this game from the dev to Let’s Play it and I really enjoyed my time with it. This is a survival game heavily inspired by the Covid-19 pandemic where you need to survive for 7 days until a vaccine can be created and deployed.
You’ll need to manage your character’s health, hunger and happiness. It’s oddly addictive and has a surprising amount of stuff to do given how small the city is. Including tons of achievements to try and complete, and even a way to time travel.

Aurora: Weather Warfare
Aurora: Weather Warfare is an adventure game set in the near future in a world of cataclysmic climate changes. As one of the few lucky survivals, you’re about to embark on a full of peril, pitfalls, and difficult choices journey to the epicenter of the weather disaster to solve the mystery.
Who controls the weather controls the world
Behind the secret program of artificial influence on the weather, stands the group of the rich and powerful individuals who want to establish the New World Order. Their weapon, so-called HARM (High-Frequency Auroral Research and Modulations) is a tool that not only can cause a tornado, a flood in the desert or a snow-flurry in the middle of summer but also drive people mad and control their minds.
Save your beloved ones
As a father and loving husband, your priority is to protect your family. You have to find your lost wife and look after the teenage dougher that accompanies you on your dangerous trip through the city set in chaos.
There are no good choices
There is no way around it, to survive you have to set aside any remorses. In the world of weather apocalypse, you’re constantly put in a situation where every decision brings death to somebody. Often you have to sacrifice a few to save many… or just yourself.
Solve the mystery
Even if it might sound overwhelming, you are the only one who can stop those who are jeopardizing the entire planet and its ecosystem. You have to look for the clues, connect the dots and find the way to turn HARM off for good!

Mr. Prepper: Prologue
The Meta:
This is a free prologue, as a feature-limited demo of the full game which expands upon the content that was made available in the demo from July. You have absolutely no reason not to try this.
I’ve played rather extensively through the beta testing, and can attest that the devs are incredibly responsive to the player community, both for bug fixing and implementing player-suggested improvements or modifications, and I fully expect that behavior to apply to the full game.
The game includes no microtransactions.
– Real player with 70.7 hrs in game
Originally, I thought the prologue would end in 30 days at most, but later I found out that I was still too young and naive. On the first day of the second month, I angrily ate all my food. I have many cans which used all the money I made to buy, and with lots of blueberry milkshakes and carrot soup. It’s ridiculous that I didn’t have diarrhea after eating it all! Ok, I have to quit the game in dismay!
Talk about the advantages and shortcomings of this game. This game is still very creative, painting style is good, it is said that the official version has more content. In terms of content, the game is undoubtedly a success. But the game also has some shortcomings:

Mr. Prepper
I’ll be honest and say that I wasn’t sure if I liked it the first few hours but boy did I change my mind. I was expecting to actually have to survive in the shelter I created and see the aftermath of the wasteland left after the world goes to hell and I was puzzled as to why this sort of game play wasn’t added in but it’s still a fantastic base building , survival game and I hope they’ll add DLC in the future, where you’ll actually be able to survive in the bunker or even get to experience what happens after landing the rocket .
– Real player with 448.5 hrs in game
Mr. Prepper. A survival base building game that’s not about survival and not about base building but purely story-driven.
TL;DR: If you can get it cheap (10 USD/EUR), give it a shot. But if you want a survival challenge or expect another game like This War Of Mine, STAY AWAY. It has SO much unused potential. It could be so much more.
PROS:
-
Interesting story. Mr. Prepper is not your average guy.
-
The typical “just one more day” game design that sucks you in.
-
3 (4) NPCs you interact with that are all kinda likable.

FreeHolder
Really good game and addicting, it has great potential and is a great blend of surviving, strategy and RPG.
Unfortunately it’s too bugged at the alpha state. Check it later.
Updated at Jan 20th:
The devs are not responsive to our feedbacks, and keep playing other games and ignoring us. Change to not recommended for now, and may possibly edit some time.
Updated at May 27th:
The dev brothers decided to set aside some time to develop it. At Alpha 3 hotfix 9 it’s highly playable now, also they are planning to deploy Unity 5 in the Alpha 4 to avoid massive bugs. I’m also doing some Chinese localization voluntarily, which they MAY adapt it one day.

At it’s core, FreeHolder is a cheap-ish variation (maybe even clone) of a game from Clarus Victoria . It plays very similarily to Predynastic Egypt except latter actually has decent quality and way more content. And it had a full release just few months after this game came to EA.
Freeholder is just painful. It gives you VERY limited options. You have, like, 7-9 action points per turn. Most actions are absolutely random and it is not uncommon to have three in a row to fail completely. If those actions are food gathering you most likely are screwed, since you CANNOT STORE FOOD AS IT SPOILS AT LUDICROUS RATE. And then you start anew. And you reload since MOST OF THE TOWN QUESTS ARE SUPPLYING LUDICROUS AMOUNTS OF FOOD WHICH SPOILS AT LUDICROUS RATE AND YOU CAN MOVE ONLY 5 UNITS PER TURN. And you do all of this with horrible, half-completed UI in a game full of bugs. It goes like this - even if you are doing fine at the beginning, starting disadvantages like this start snowballing and wreck you late in game. EVEN if you are doing well, and usually you aren’t. I played for, like, 15 hours and during this time I survived more than a year only once…

Boom Island
It’s a good game like it play it to con a half hours, so I guess it’s good enough just wish I could fix a few things on it, but it is a good game with good change. The music a little bit. And maybe the sunset
– Real player with 2.4 hrs in game
Overall fun and interesting game. A bit rough on the edges, but is just some good all fun for the price your getting around an hour of gameplay. Overall feel of game is quite on point and music goes along nicely. Pretty entertaining game 7/10

In the corner of your eye and the slight cracks in the earth. They hunger. Also, to survive alongside your fellow tribals, You will have to battle the stuff of nightmares. Creatures born from the minds of men and spirits that terrify the soul talked about in hushed voices around campfires by storytellers and shamans.

Turnover
I WAS GIVEN A FREE COPY OF THIS GAME BY THE DEVELOPER
If you’d prefer a video review, have a look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n0KUluzXhM
Turnover is a stealth game, and a hardcore one at that. It takes a top down Hotline Miami-esk approach, and rather boldly the game actually lets you straight up see the detection range for pretty much all of your enemies. In many ways it harkens back to old, challenging, stealth games, which has become somewhat of a lost genre, as it feels like you can be stealthy in almost any game now, and many of the games which originally had stealth at their core like Splinter Cell and Thief, have become closer and closer to action games. That’s was what really intrigued me about the game so I requested a pre-release review copy, here are some thoughts from a guy who has never really been into hardcore stealth games.
– Real player with 23.6 hrs in game
I really do love stealth games though I understand they can be rather polarizing as they test patience and can be unforgiving. Turnover is a particularly unforgiving game and has pushed my patience with the short amount of time that I have spent with it.
That said, from each death I learn how to better navigate the game as Turnover has very solid and consistent mechanics. Each level takes me a few deaths/runs to understand where to expect encounters and available paths and how to get through, but getting to the end is wonderfully rewarding and I feel like I really deserved it.

I Shall Remain
I’ll update this review later, I just wanted to give a sense of what this game is like.
-
Imagine a game that plays from a similar point of view as Nation Red with similar quality of graphics. Basically, it is a third person action, with 3 levels zoom in and out.
-
The game is pausable real-time. This allows you to pause the game at any time to check your inventory, your map, quest logs, Infected Monster Entries, Journal entries for tips on how to play or books you read or dialogs you have had which are recorded. You can review your Character Page with Attributes and derived skills, Your Doctrines aka Training etc.

I purchased the early access version of this game on sale from Humble Bundle and was pleasantly surprised by the current quality of an “alpha” game. First, the atmosphere is superb. At times desolate and claustrophobic, the levels demonstrate a nice variety with logical obstacles rather than invisible walls, and the sepia option (which is adjustable) adds to the period feel. Special mention should be made of the score: though at the moment the tracks are limited, the music is somber and beautiful.
