On My Own
I wish the game would let me know that I should have some food prepared between biomes, before telling me I starved to death on my way to said biome and then deleting my save file of 3 hours. I also got really focused on finding foxes and forgot to eat. I had plenty of food, but then I “starved to death” and another save file of 5 hours was deleted. I understand it’s trying to be realistic, you should think of this intuitively, you should figure it out, etc. but forcing a complete restart after hours of tedious gathering and crafting just feels like a slap in the face.

just a garbage game.
Graphics 4/10 - kind of cute and retro.
Interface 1/10 - Feels like a bad phone port. it’s very clunky.
Music 2/10 - it gets unbelievably repeative hearing the same loop.
Guidance 3/10 - It doesn’t hold your hand. It pushes you from behind and laughs. then ignores you forever.
Saves 0/10 - Manual saves are overwritten by autosaves making M. Saves pointless.
Overall 2/10 - I’d return it if I bought it specifically. but it came in a bundle. I’ll check back in a month and edit this review if things improve. Right now? DO NOT BUY.

Animalia Survival
So i bought this game Friday at noon… Played it until Saturday 5am… In one sitting i nearly got my $1 = 1hour entertainment. I woke up Saturday at 11am, did my morning routine and now i am going to binge some more. If you are a fan of hardcore survival and animals, this game is right up your alley. Note this game is HARDCORE. So if your animal dies, your going to be starting a fresh new cub(some servers offer adult spawns). Personally for me this keeps the game fresh. Allows you to keep trying out new animals or trying out new point specs for your animals attributes. There are quite a bit of animals already in the game for early access and ALOT more on the road map ahead. I heard 36 African animals are planned.

Flower Challenge
Pros:You can collect flowersYou can enjoy natureYou can fly with the basketYou can eat flowers for psychedelic effectsCons:I was promised wolves but there weren’t anyI fell off the edge of the map and while falling down I let go of my basket. Now I’m sad.I have no collision with treesOverall I felt this could be a good basis for a horror game. Well, with actual wolves

It’s pretty boring. The most fun I had is shooting up in the air by carrying the basket and looking down. I call it “basket boosting”.
Also, how does this cost 8,19€? For a lower price, it would maybe be fine if the dev would improve the game a lot, but it’s nowhere near worth this much.
Also also, this game toasts my PC. My RX 580 is suffering on every quality setting.

Pandora : Wild Origins
I highly recommend Pandora Wild Origins to anyone who enjoys animal simulators with beautiful graphics !
I really love playing a mountain lion with all its well-made animations
The quests at the beginning explain well how to control our animal (I recommend following them until, at least, the one giving you level 2)
Then we’re ready to explore with plenty of activities (hunting, surviving, meeting a partner, raising our babies…)
I particularly enjoy having skill points to either specialize in hunting fast preys or killing agressiv ones and, yes, there’s kind of 2 categories of preys, which is pretty interesting

It’s a fun game about being stranded on a desert island.
Some of the mechanics take a minute to get used to but on the whole I like the game, it’s very chill

Arid
Arid is a completely free student project created by potential graduates of the Breda University of Applied Sciences located in the Netherlands. There they cater to international students offering both bachelor and masters degrees in both media and game technology. Priding their expertise in the Houdini Engine for Unity among other things. Their focus is on creating AAA games and some students manage to progress even further eventually working for companies such as Ubisoft and Guerrilla.
Arid is a ‘unrealistic’ desert survival game. I say unrealistic because you literally starve, drink and need shut eye constantly even on the easiest of settings. The survival reminders are relentless and before long you’ll be praying that the game give you at least a moment’s rest so that you can gather yourself.
– Real player with 32.2 hrs in game
For a free game, Arid is really good, in my opinion. It has some bugs here and there and could use some polish in some areas, but so do lots of games. I had it crash a couple of times, both times connected to saving, but it turned out the save had worked anyway so it was alright.
Overall, without having ever been to the Atacama (and bearing in mind it’s been enhanced for video game purposes), it felt properly punishing. I’ve wished other games that featured large desert areas had something like the sun exposure mechanic; on the hardest difficulty in this, when there’s no UI element to tell you what your exposure is, the sun is very scary. You end up reapplying clay obsessively, and scuttling from one shaded area to another, and doing a lot of your work at night. I also enjoyed the mechanic of finding dirty water and having to filter it. Other games have similar things, but this felt very natural, part of the daily tasks.

Nature And Life - Drunk On Nectar
First time ever making a review and it’s for an unassuming, obscure little Early-Access game called Drunk on Nectar. I feel it’s fitting; I love insects and arachnids ever since I was a kid and I’ve always wanted a game like this to come into fruition. Now that it’s finally here….
I LOVE it. A lot.
At this current point in time, the game has three modes to choose from.
Creature Quest issues challenges for the player to complete in as quick a time as possible for a spot on the leaderboard.

This game is a pretty accurate simulation of the life of an insect. Of course, the game isn’t perfect. It doesn’t have a huge team developing it, but it is still one of the most accurate insect simulators you can find. Heck, even the flora have a crude lifecycle! There are educational elements to the game as well, though nothing like extra homework or anything, just explanations of what is going on with the insect at the time, or what the game mechanics represent. This game is very smooth for its version, and definitely has re-playability.

rook
Rook’s a pretty cute but also very simple and short game, the trailer basically shows everything there is to the game.
In this game you’re a bird building your nest. You have to fly around and collect twigs to add to your nest, find food to keep up the energy to fly around and avoid dangers on your quest, like hunters, snakes, etc.
This really is all there is to the game, you can finish it in 10-20 minutes once you get the hang of it.
On the plusside, you can get 100% Achievements fairly quick and easy in this game!
