Tank Mechanic Simulator
So let’s start off by saying that yes. I do play this game a lot. I’ve played it quite a bit in fact. But can I recommend it? Ehhhhh…. no.
See, the developers have made a great system for this sort of game. I wish more games would use it. It’s a bit unrealistic, but that’s honestly okay, it plays well with it. I have to give them props for that.
However.
What I can’t give them props for is quality assurance, general professionalism(There was a major content delay because they forgot to fork their build. FORGOT. And overwrote their work), and what appears to be a roadmap designed for maximizing profit, rather than fixing the countless issues that still persist with the game.

I really, really, really like the game. BUT, I just wanna take a little walk through and talk about what’s going on in the game.
They’re doing good work, making updates regularly and keeping people up to date with what’s happening in the development cycle. The thing that really sets me off with the current game is that they’re already trying to push DLC. I understand that they want to make money, but at the same time the base game needs to be in a more acceptable state before they should try to push for DLC’s. There are a lot of issues within the base game that need to be addressed such as, Performance within the garage itself can get pretty rough, especially if you have multiple project vehicles in at the same time(Keep in mind my computer isn’t a slouch by any means, AMD 5800x processor, 16gigs of Crucial Ballistix’s 3600Mhz ram, and an rtx2060, granted not the highest end pc in the world.), the menus are pretty clunky and need to be reworked into a more user friendly state. Tank extractions can be frustrating between not being able to find the vehicle through the basic means the game starts you off with and occasionally you aren’t able to extract the vehicle at all. The maintenance system has gotten better, but it needs a lot of work, the system needs to be streamlined and ease of access while putting tanks together needs to be more comfortable to work with instead of awkwardly clicking around on the screen trying to access certain parts. Some tank models being reworked have been worked on for what feels like months without any update to them in the live version of the game, but they’re working on new models instead.

NavalArt
At first I was skeptical of this game. I guess just something about it looked off- like an advertisement for a mobile game vs. the game itself. I bought it partly because of its low price (it may have gone up by the time you are reading this). While there is definitely some room for more content in general, I was shocked by how convenient it was to do exactly what I wanted: build ships. It’s super easy to stay updated on the dimensions, displacement, total hit points, etc. while in the process of building. What’s more, downloading ships from the Steam Workshop and pitting them against each other is a blast! If you’ve played World of Warships, combat in Navalart is essentially that but a bit simplified. The sheer fact that you can have WoWS-esque battles with ships that YOU and others like you created is amazing. I know there is a plethora of other games where that is possible, but I don’t think I’ve found another one that is, as I said earlier, as convenient as Navalart.

This game is what Battleship Craft should have been.
It’s like my dream came true, what would it look like on PC. This is it.
This game has so much potential and I think the dev needs some more time, but it has the potential to be one of the best ship building games out there. You can build anything from small boats, like PT Boats up to Destroyers, Cruisers, Battleships, (Aircraft carriers) and everything beyond your imagination. The limit is your fantasy like really.
For exmaple I have built some realistic destroyers, but also my own creations of BB’s and cruisers, you can build what you want.

A pretty fun game with lots of potential. There are some bugs which is to be suspected for early access but they are not terrible. Also, the sounds need to be improved. For the time that I have owned it I have really enjoyed this game a lot. Definitely is a game that’s a lot of fun with friends. I just wish the game included a tips section as I am not really sure where to place my turrets, what quantity of which turrets to place, and the best way to place my walls. A little more direction would help. Overall I recommend it.

A horribly LAZY port…
$30, for a terrible, terrible port of a game that isn’t even worth $15? How do they have the audacity to charge $30 for this, on PC, when it’s such a dreadful experience to play it on PC? I mean sure, charge $15 for it on consoles or Switch where you can actually play the thing with the intended controls, but to charge TWICE what the game is worth on PC, AND then make such a terrible port, is just taking the piss
Pros:
Cons: #1. No mouse support whatsoever. This is BY FAR the biggest problem.

Very fun and easy-to-play game for 2-players – we are six missions into the game and playing at Normal difficulty. I am not sure how it will scale with more players though.
We also tend to load the ammo as quickly as possible with little regard for the enemy-fired ammo, so as to overwhelm the enemy through sheer ammo numbers. Through this approach, each mission takes us about 10 minutes to complete and thus is manageable time-wise.

I’ll save a full review for the full release, but so far I have really been enjoying this early version! I have 51 hours in the first kickstarter demo, that’s more than I put into some finished games, so I think it’s definitely worth your time to try it out if you like building vehicles.
So far it’s very much like an improved version of Terratech or Crossout, you build vehicles in a late-1800s/early-1900s military style and use them to complete missions and kill other vehicles. The editor is easy to use, combat feels nice with both small and big guns, pretty much every design you can think of will work in combat, and I can’t think of any other games that will let you build half-tracked amphibious battleships. The physics are very well optimized too, you won’t have to worry about building something so big it crashes the game.

WWII TCG - World War 2: The Card Game
The recent release of the Defiance edition of this game has gone a long way to helping new players get a start. The game presents a challenge in terms of patiently developing your deck of cards to continue to advance in strength.
The game will allow single player but is designed for team play in “platoons” of up to 15 players. Each playing session is played as a single player, but scores and results are cumulative for the team.
There are 4 distinct segments of the game, A Campaign Map of 200 levels with 3 difficulties for a total of 600 maps. These are played with your deck of cards against pre-designed opponents and present a good challenge. Player vs Player, these games take from 3-15 minutes to play and the outcome is generally decided by deck strength as opposed to brilliance in play. Missions are pre-designed mini-games where you are given a deck of cards (for that game only) to play. Balance on these is good and players will generally win 60-80 percent of the time once they learn the nuances of each mission. There are currently a total of 13 missions, each with 3 to 4 difficulty ratings. These rotate on a weekly basis. The final section is “Raids”. There are currently 9 raids, each with 4 difficulty options. These are the focus of team play.

If you like cards, collectables, strategy and World War II games you will love World War II TCG.
The arts, sound and animations are well done. It does capture the world war II atmosphere.
The card game by itself looks simple. But you will rapidly learn that there is a lot to it. Will you use infantries, tanks, planes, ships and/or structures? What faction correspond to your play style: US, german, russian, british or japenese? Each plays differently. There is a lot of cards in the game, thousands if we count crafted elite, diamond and leader cards.

Need a puzzling game to play, but you don’t have time for a large scale, AAA title? This game is for you. The puzzles in this title will get your brain working, requiring you to sift through clues in emails and files as well as deciphering codes left by the inhabitants of this abandoned station. You’ll have to carefully manage your time and resources between crafting items to keep your life support stable, and fending off alien intruders.
Pros:
-
Good, satisfying puzzles
-
Pixelated visuals and simple geometry are a nice change from the realism of today’s games

This is an interesting game. It started off a bit flat, seemed like straight out time/resource management. You split your time between telling drones to go auto-gather resources, rushing around to build stuff, and then occasionally going outside to shoot bugs before they get inside and cause problems.
But there’s a surprising amount of logs and emails and info you can look through, and the offscreen support character makes her own little comments on what you’re reading.
All while mutant alien bugs eat through the walls to come get you.
