On My Own

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.

Cruise Ship Manager

Cruise Ship Manager

Fulfill your dreams of watching over a beautiful vessel, a large crew, and all sorts of passengers in Cruise Ship Manager!

Take cruises to a next level in this unique management game. Choose how you want your cruise ship to be built, make sure everything runs smoothly, set the prices for the passengers, and become a legend of the high seas!

Choosing the layout of the ship is up to you! Decide on the layout, where to place a canteen for your crew, and where 5-star restaurants should be. Does a casino strike your fancy or maybe an open pool? And don’t forget about rooms for your passengers! Make sure everything is well connected and that you keep enough money for food or fuel.

Pick your crew wisely. Their skills will lead to your success or failure. Once you leave the dock, you’re stuck with the people you chose so make sure you don’t regret hiring an untested rookie over an experienced veteran.

Once you settle on the amenities and prepare the necessary equipment, you can finally search for passengers to invite onto your ship. But there’s a catch - it’s not up to you who buys your tickets. So price your tickets accordingly. You might charge a premium if you do, your passengers will feel entitled to the best service there is and it won’t be easy to satisfy them. On the other hand, you could sell the tickets at a low price and improve your budget through other means. For instance, by charging extra for fancy cocktails.

As your renown grows, more people will want to experience the thrill of signing up for your cruise. Build your brand and reach a point where people will pay any amount of money, just to say they were on your cruise ship!

You have the power to choose the route your cruise ship shall take. Would you rather make some quick cash on a routine, 2-day cruise? Or maybe a long journey through the Bermuda Triangle is what strikes your fancy? You might be paid more for trips to exotic places but beware of the storms. Lives could be at stake if a fire breaks out or engines malfunction. It will be your task to end such a crisis - before it’s too late.

Features:

  • A cruise ship of your own that you can customize to your liking

  • Resource management (fuel, food, etc.)

  • Incredible variety of unique passengers with different expectations and behaviors

  • Random events

  • Crew members that have their own needs

  • Route selection

  • Many unique rooms to add to your ship

  • Unlimited fun!

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

FREEDOM: Hunt Kill Fly

FREEDOM: Hunt Kill Fly

I was finally able to find fishes near the rocks (4 set of semi submerged rocks) near the edge of the lake.

You must fly low and slow.

Come back in a hurry to nest, but eventually death bar will end process way too early.

By the way, the fishes on that spot are big, and plenty adequate for a meal to eaglettes.

They should not be already starving with such a generous quantities of food.

But that timer from hell does not think so.

Flying through the floating stars benefit no one.

You must collect a number of them, but impossible to do since timer shoots you out of the sky.

Real player with 4.0 hrs in game

To be clear…I would recommend the game for under a $, like I paid and under the hopes that the Game goes anywhere. I would like to see better controls. Currently the right stick is used for speed and I would rather the triggers. I would also like to be able to look around while flying. The Demo is also incredibly short.

Retreat To Enen

Retreat To Enen

About The Game

Retreat To Enen is an open world, survival game featuring foraging, gathering, fishing, crafting meditation and exploration. The game is set in 3600 C.E. After humanity had brought itself to the brink of extinction, a new society has formed. This society has a new reverence for nature and the Earth’s environment. As a rite of passage, you are sent to the legendary island of Enen to live off the land, increase your connection to nature, and become more mindful.

Mindfulness

We have consulted with multiple mental health professionals throughout the process to ensure that the game is providing the most relaxing and engaging survival experience possible. Throughout the island the player will find meditation points that will take them on guided meditations, and breathing exercises that will unlock new items to craft.

Open World

Enen is a large island that you will need to explore to locate new mediation points and gather enough resources to build their perfect camp. The island includes beautiful tropical beaches, lush forests, and breathtaking underwater environments. The dynamic weather system, day night cycle, and interactive foliage will fully immerse you in the world of Enen.

Survival

Everything you need to survive can be found on the island. Start with basic traps and foraging and eventually travel the island by kayak, sleep in a large hut with an indoor fireplace, and even soak in your hand crafted hot tub.

Among Trees

Among Trees

The game is very beautiful. Game mechanics are simple and easy to pick up for laid back gamers. I expected much more from the overall sustenance in the game, I put in about ten hours of gameplay and im already finished and have everything in the game. Although there is no “end game”, I feel like I finished everything and now the game itself is rather boring.

I am also rather upset there is no audio options, I can’t disable the music or any sounds within the game. The overall audio is extremely loud in my opinion, the bears and cutting down trees are especially loud. I remember the first time running into a bear and jump in my chair because of the volume from the bear roar.

Real player with 12.2 hrs in game

Currently as I am writing this Among Trees doesn’t seem to be being updated, this could change in the future, but the developers had said themselves, “We’ve been developing Among Trees for almost five years now and feel like we’ve taken the game to a great place. We’re planning to fix bugs and optimize the game until the end of the year, but don’t expect any major new features or content. It’s a game we could keep working on forever, but we’ll be moving on to new exciting projects for now!”, Seems to me the game was quite literally abandoned on steam for a last money grab.

Pandora : Wild Origins

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

ARIDA: Backland’s Awakening

[8/10]

Review in english first, portuguese below

Análise em inglês primeiro, e em português abaixo

JOGADO TOTALMENTE NO LINUX - PLAYED COMPLETELY ON LINUX

======================================

Árida is a very regionalist game about the worst period of drought in northeastern Brazil in the region known as “Caatinga” (blacklands). It is a short semi-linear exploration and survival game, with cartoonish aesthetics that resemble drawings from that place and age (“literatura de cordel”) in sharp contrast against the looming sense of dread that permeates the entire game - you see death everywhere, the Sun quickly exhausts your thirst and hunger bars, specially at noon.

Esse jogo brasileiro de sucesso se passa nos arredores de Canudos, na Bahia. É um jogo de sobrevivência e de ficção que retrata esse contexto histórico em que muitos brasileiros do sertão nordestino acabam migrando na época de seca intensa de terra árida para sobreviver. Com a protagonista não é diferente, e com ela você experiencia um pouco de como essas pessoas lutam para sobreviver a esse ambiente e você encara junto com ela a jornada de ir até Canudos encontrar seus pais e buscar uma vida nova.
