A Long Journey to an Uncertain End

Not looking good, Captain. That holo-influencer you sent Matias to guard has been “upstaged”. Putting a former drag queen before every camera in the verse? Not the best idea. And the anti-sentience rally we sent Aylah to… that’s a riot now. Not saying it’s entirely her fault the audio drones were hacked but, you know. Probably didn’t help.

On top of that Truly and Denny are nowhere to be found. Any chance of keeping a low profile is out the airlock. Now there’s an incoming message from… your ex?

All in all, a quieter day than most.

A Long Journey to an Uncertain End is a narrative focused Space Opera that’ll have you flying around the universe assembling an unruly crew from an eclectic cast of characters and taking any job you can to keep one step ahead of your abusive Ex. The twist: you’re not just piloting a ship… you are the ship.

Supplies don’t come for free in the verse, doubly so for outlawed sentient spaceships. Every planet, moon and space station is a valuable source of jobs and their precious rewards. Assign crew tasks based on their skills, and help their decisions along the way. If everything pays off you’ll have what you need to escape, and if not…well, you can call in those favors you’ve been saving.

A Long Journey to an Uncertain End presents a unique vision of the future, a universe of inclusivity and diversity tainted by uncertainty and fear. Build a family within your crew. Every crew member has their own story, every planet its own history, and even your own adventure remains unfinished.

Sentient ships have been outlawed for centuries. With the help of your holo-companion C.O.R.G.I. and your (mostly) loyal crew, you managed to evade capture. Now there’s an entire galaxy between you and freedom.

So…where to next, Captain?

Features:

Fly across a unique galaxy, from the dust-bitten badlands of the Rim, to the techno-industrial megacities of the Core…and Beyond.
Recruit an eclectic crew from a diverse cast of characters with their own stories and varied skill sets.
Explore planets, moons and space stations as you put distance between you and your abusive ex. Match your crew to jobs and decide their actions along the way. If all else fails, you can always rely on a favor or two.
Manage your resources to keep your crew happy. Boosting between worlds can take its toll, as can failing at jobs. A happy crew is a productive crew… most of the time.

Read the guide at the beginning, very useful information!) I really liked the art and the study of the world. I can’t say that the game has revealed its full potential in terms of gameplay, but you can get stuck for a couple of hours. We are waiting for the continuation of the story!

It’s exactly like the first one, which I found nice. That’s what I was hoping for. Simple resource management game with a light plot.

What can I say? It’s a cool, little time-management game. The levels are well designed, and the game is balanced pretty well. There’s a basic story involved to keep things a bit more interesting. The learning curve is virtually non-existent – the levels aren’t too hard to figure out, but if you are going for high scores or prefection you’ll have a bit of a challenge on some of them. This game is a fun, little time-waster if you’ve got a few bucks to spare and a few hours to kill (it’s short; I beat it in about 7 hours).

Plushie Dungeon

Plushie dungeon is game about difficuilt time management, where you must choose between your Bossie and your Plushie. Idea is to make the game complex enough that you will have to know what is your priority before every action. But as time goes far, priorities will change..

Ah, who turned of the light?! Well, me!

Plushie Dungeon is game with the dungeons, obviously. So be prepared for darkness and things that crawling in it. You can put the fire on, but even fire is not going to last forever. Every time you sleep ( or you try to hide yourself in the MENU ) fire goes off everywhere.

Festival Tycoon

I really like this game and I had it on my wish-list for a while coming up to the release date.

When I first started playing it really felt like a community driven game which is really nice to see, like what I mean by this is it’s not hard to get in direct contact with the developer to talk about the game and that’s pretty damn cool.

From being in the Discord server, the community along with the developer are both really friendly. Johannes (Developer) Is a really friendly and co-operative person and can take feedback really well and is on top of any bugs/issues very fast. His response time is a lot better than 90% of developers I’ve contacted and when I had an issue it was fixed within an hour. So that’s already a plus for me, even if I didn’t enjoy the game.

If you are reading this in six to twelve months time, this should be an instant buy if you play tycoon games. This is a fun and highly enjoyable tycoon game that I have had a fair bit of enjoyment out of. If you are reading this in October of 2021, my advice would be to wait six to twelve months. The base of this game is fantastic, it is a bit lacking in content though, and can become quite repetitive due to the lack of content (especially in the choice of festival sites), as well as a couple of bugs which do make gameplay harder to enjoy. This is quite typical for an early access game, of course, but it does need to be mentioned. However, unlike some other early access games, the developer is super on top of things and does a great job at communicating with the audience, so I have no doubt that there will be in the very near future new content to keep it fresh and challenging, as well as constant bug fixes. Overall, this should either be a get this game, or will end up being a get this game.

Kingdom Tales

edit: After a 2nd play through years later, this game isn’t that bad for what it is. Because there really isn’t a story and it isn’t that long (3-4 hours maybe), Kingdom Tales feels like it best suited for a phone or tablet game. It’s definitely aimed at younger players new to resource/time management style games as it does a lot of hand holding. For what it is, it’s a good time waster as there is some challenge to it, but I wouldn’t pay more than a couple of bucks for it. Still can’t recommend it though because it feels like a mobile game put on the desktop.

I got this game as part of a bundle, so i can’t complain too much as it’s hardly left me out of pocket, however i feel sorry for anyone who has paid full price for this game.

I’ll confess it’s not 100% garbage, i mean, i played the whole game through each level for about 5 hours, across a few days, but i spent the whole time just waiting for something more, but constantly feeling restrained as if there was very little choices to make and it was a very clear path to follow.

From the video preview i would say i enjoy games like this, i like the sort of management you get in games like this, and there was a slight notion it would be quite childish, however i held out in the hope that the game play would be a good way to satisfy my strategy cravings.

Meridian: Age of Invention

Tags: Clicker - Cooldown

Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library

TLDR: 12 Labors type. Redundant. Prefer flavor and themes from competition.

This is a priority clicking game in which you have a HQ and little workers run along pre-drawn pathways to clear obstacles and get ressources. This game’s mechanics are centered around having to micromanage the economy between the multiple buildings built on your hotspots by queuing courriers so they can move ressources to and from mines, and move letters and packages between houses. So, it is a less streamlined, clunkier version of what is usually done in this genre which is not a selling point. Additionally, there is a clash between some of the tile arts that have more of a hand drawn flavor as opposed to the 3D character models of your workers. All things considered this was not a very recommendable example of this genre and would recommend Weather Lords over it.

Short version: 76%

Meridian is a super casual, lightweight time management game with next to no challenge whatsoever. But with such a cute art style and fast-paced levels, it really doesn’t matter as the game is incredibly fun!

Long version:

Time management titles are usually classified as casual games, but Meridian: Age of Invention takes that to a whole new level with how easy it is. Which is a bit strange, considering that it has a remarkable pace for its genre, but this combination of speed and the lack of challenge create a really enjoyable combination.

Overgrown

At first the game was fun, with all of the obstacles and everything. But after the 5th level, everything became more of a headache instead of entertainment. Not to mention, all of the achievements seem to require a 3 star rating, which was not specified. And since all of the levels become extremely difficult and tedious, you can’t get the achievements. Also, the achievement “Ultimate Scrapbooker” does not unlock even when finishing the game.
