Dragon Creek
Before I get into this review, I will definitely state that this game is honestly not for everyone. In fact, the game is very niche- which is not a criticism, but it is something to mind when contemplating purchasing this game.
The game is very simple, but its simplicity is the beauty of it. You can generate a dragon at the shrine, train it up, battle it, and rank it up.
If someone is looking for a farm simulator with dragon training, this is not that game. The farm can be upgraded, but all upgrades pertain to improving your dragon’s situation. The only thing remotely akin to farming is purchasing the plot upgrades- which you cannot place yourself- so you can grow your own food so you do not need to buy food for your dragon as often from the food stand.

Wow, Dragon Creek. Where to begin…
It’s so adorable! It’s a simple, cute game about raising your own dragon. You have 4 different species that you can get, them being the European Dragon, the Eastern (Lung) Dragon, the Cat-Lung, and the Wyvern. There will be more species on the way too, so keep an eye out. The dragons can be generated through a randomizer or you can put “codes” in to create your own. (Hint: Try messing around with specific dragon names…) You feed, pet, and wash your dragon in this game.

Wow! Didn’t expect to have so much fun with this game. It has shooting, exploration and invisible stuff lurking all over the place. I KNOW! Most of them are itens to boost your level, but I love to discover things anyway. =D
You can unlock new abilities and improve your overall stats. Pretty cool!
Took me about one and a half to two hours to get to the end and then I discovered that i missed some blue bugs.
I’ll be returning back to the game soon and will try to find these missing bad boys.

Hero Express
Simple game play but fun. Nothing too difficult but will take a few hours to complete. Good time waster on the side.
– Real player with 12.9 hrs in game
Hero Express is a simple-to-learn, but difficult to master, arcade-style 2D side-scrolling driving survival game that features 11 different tracks with 11 different vehicles. I had personally played a mobile game with a similar feel a few years ago, and I am happy to have the same type of gameplay on PC with nicely worked pixel graphics and a difficulty curve that allows the most casual players to enjoy the game, while still presenting a challenge to those who consider themselves fairly good at arcade-style games.

It’s the worst game I played so far this whole year…

Three Pigeons in a Trench Coat
Our story begins with a very good looking pigeon with an amazing name, who’s dream is to act in the great theater that they live in. With the help of a lovely human, a fluffy pigeon and a questionably french bird, they create the perfect human disguise: a trench coat. Heigh-ho, hey-ho! Alas, suddenly, the world ends! Zounds! Bazinga! Yeet! All hope is lost! But, in the nick of time, a figure approaches this spectacular pigeon with an offer. Would you like to try again?
Three Pigeons in a Trench Coat is a fast paced, action, adventure game, where you try to find out what ends the world and stop it before the world ends again five minutes later. And if you fail? Just try again!
A Day
The first 1-2 hours I thought the game was absolutely brilliant. Not paying attention to the description of the game on the store page that mentioned you’re going for a high score, I kept thinking I was unravelling a puzzle that had a bunch of pieces that needed to be put together to have a grand finale of a story. There is an absolute gem of an idea for a game here but I think having simply made it high score driven instead of more narrative focused is a huge missed opportunity. I loved and hated this one. Loved the concept, hated the fact that after 3 hours I felt empty knowing that I was just going for points instead of something bigger.

‘‘Sonder: the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own’’.
That’s how A Day makes me feel.
The game is short and beautifully crafted, you play a different cast of characters each with their abilities, goals, and needs, over the course of a day
the Goal of the game is slowly stitching the fate of every character in a way that in the end, they can help each other.

Golden Retriever
All That Glitters is Gold!
In this mining platformer, traverse your underground mine shafts to retrieve gold! Team up or compete against your friends or go solo into the mines and extract as much gold as you can. Setup your operation and reinvest your earnings into better gear and equipment. This line of work not only separates the gold from the dirt, but the pups from the dogs. With danger lurking in the ancient grounds, hungry Dinos awaken, searching for prey and loot. The wise miner doesn’t fear the Dino but sees it’s flesh and bones as a potential fuel source for their operations. Gold mining is a treasure hunt, so open your miner’s map, test some dirt, and find that stash of gold!
Mine to Save the Town from Fat Cat
Each unique map has new environmental hazards like forest fires, earthquakes, lava and new machines like helicopters and excavators! Every speck of gold you collect gets you closer to prevent Fat Cat from building his Cat-sino next door and paving over the town!
Beware of Dinos
-
Dinos cause cave-ins when they get grumpy and stomp their feet
-
Dinos eat all of the gold out of your bags of dirt.
-
Dinos steal gold coins when they bite you!
Timeline Traveler
Timeline Traveler is one of thousands of 2D retro platformers polluting Steam, but in this case there is a difference. It’s also a basic, somewhat educational sequencing puzzle at the same time. The game starts paused, and instead of controlling your character in a direct, action orientated way, you add instructions to the panel on the right hand side of the screen, to run, jump, open doors and so on.
It’s not the worst idea I’ve seen and it’s a fun spin on the concept of platforming. Unfortunately the delivery is very flat, with primitive graphics, locked resolution and so on. At least it’s not retro pixel. This might get a “maybe” if there was an option to give it one, because of the novel idea and potential educational value, but as a PC game for PC gamers, this falls shy of the mark.
