Deus Lo Veult
I find this game very strange, because it seems partially incomplete in terms of actual gameplay - I managed to get 10 minutes in before my attempted invasion of Tripoli resulted in the game just… stopping, and preventing me from continuing. In terms of art, it is very visually pleasing to look at, which is what leads me to confusion - on that side, it seems quite polished. I hope the devs update this to fix this soon.

AS the others said, it’s a scam. unable to change language to french even if it is shown, the game is ridiculously simplistic (we’re talking 2010 mobile games here) and breaks after the first couple of rounds.

Franchise Hockey Manager 8
I like this game a lot. In my mind, this is the version of FHM that finally eclipses the last EHM that was released, even with the 1.5 beta enabled. It’s a bit buggy (ENABLE WEEKLY AUTO-SAVES!!!) and I’ve had a number of crashes, especially during the 2D sim portion of the game, but FHM 7 was patched up pretty quickly so I wouldn’t let that deter you from purchasing this game if you are a fan of the genre.
The budget system is a very nice addition, and I would imagine if you play in lower-revenue leagues, would present a different facet of gameplay in terms of balancing your scouting and development budgets. The new scouting reports are rife with information that can help you discern between a draft-day bust and a draft-day gem; I picked up a guy in the 7th round that had great mental stats that my scouts reported favorably on, and he ended up being rated as a 4.5 star potential guy after a season. Conversely, a guy I drafted in the second round has completely flopped down to a 2 star potential guy. Those are the kind of features that keep me immersed in a GM sim.

First let me stipulate that there is a lot to like about FHM8 and for someone who has supported the franchise since FHM1 but has more often than not been a harsh critic of past iterations, I am slowly being won over with this current effort. That’s not to say I believe it is a perfect 10, but for the first time I can clearly see that the evolution of this franchise is now showing the promise we all desire.
So to that end, if you are looking for a deep & engaging hockey fix, the plethora of gaming options provided by this game will be sure in some fashion to scratch that itch.

Quarantine: Global Pandemic
A good game to pass the time.
The game is very realistic.
And the game has several ways to win against the so-called Covid-19. Unfortunately, the game bugs from the standpoint of 2024, the numbers jump around wildly and you can hardly continue playing the game! But as I said, it’s fun!
But you can also freely choose whether you want Christmas / Easter / Thanksgiving / Mother’s Day / Father’s Day / Halloween
whether you let it fail or not.

Nice game, it needs some polishing and rebalancing but still worth it if you like political games.

Train Tycoon
I really like the idea of this game but the UI is almost unbearable.
– Real player with 0.3 hrs in game
Train Tycoon is a simple browser/flash tier railroad tycoon game. Run a train business, manage your budget, expand your empire.
It’s a great idea for a game (and has been tremendously successful in actual, properly built games). Unfortunately, in the case of Train Tycoon, the art assets and interface are extremely clunky and simplistic… I’ve seen better interfaces written in HTML. And there are better games you can play for free on the web.
The quality here is just far too low for this to be recommendable to anyone. If you’re looking for this kind of game, try Train Fever or the older Railroad Tycoon games.

Cute game but overpriced. Not much content that I can tell.

Ant Empire
I would absolutely recommend this exceptionally unique and very deep RTS, but be aware that it’s not for everyone and the game still needs some fine tuning.
There are quite a few negative reviews that never game a fair chance, and one that suspected it was a scam because of a major issue preventing some people from playing. I can verify that issue has definitely been resolved - however, there are still some minor bugs/issues.
Get this game if:
-You like well-crafted, deep real-time strategy games that are turn-based.

It’s 2021, I’m riding around on a bug mount I farmed in Classic WoW with the help of some sick bros. I just figure let’s look around for some bug games, stumble upon this beauty. If you enjoy games like Civ, give it a try, plan on staying in my own colony digging to the bottom of this game and a bottle suntory. If you’re a gamer, like me who reads these reviews, you will not be disappoint. Now let me get back to that bottle.

Freight Simulator
The game is really cool, I think the best game is the affection that the developers have with it. They are always listening to the community and adapting and improving the game, this is a great thing for me. The game is very fun and it seems that they are always looking to improve.
This last update was incredible, it added so many things and the game was much more fun.
My grade is 10/10 for this game!

OVERVIEW:
The game is management style where you have several options to control a transport company, you buy trucks, buckets, hire your employees and suddenly your company starts to work and bring profits. You can take care of your company alone, organizing everything or you can hire some managers to help you, I as a lover of tycoon games decided to try it out.
POSITIVES:
The management of the trucks is really incredible, you control everything, supply, maintenance and can assemble various types of sets to load different freight.

Pest Control
I see some potential in this game, every week updates make it better and better. If you are fan of crafting and turn based games you should love it! Specially if you like humor and good in game art. I’m really excited to see the full game!

The Amazing American Circus
Target Audience: Those Willing to Take the Lows With The Highs in Card RPGs
Summary:
This is a recommendation in essence, but for a specific subset of people.
I’m going to be straight up from the get go here: The Amazing American Circus is one of those games that I want to love up and down, but ended up being the biggest thorn in my side due to what happened during the review period. To say that I faced some of the worst bugs: specifically saved game bugs, in my review career would have been an understatement: I had 8 separate runs break wildly in that period where I could not continue to make progress. While those bugs seem to be fixed now, I have a form of PTSD at this point. Every time I play, I’m waiting for the game to break again. Hell, even the video I made had a major bug in it. There’s a reason I have around 40+ hours of gameplay without actually beating the game, and to say it hung over the experience would be an understatement to say the least.

This is not a Slay to Spire, this is not a Monster Train. The Amazing American Circus is not a roguelike-roguelite card game, it is more like a card game built around a campaign, with some management sim built around it, in which you need to cover the costs, upgrades etc from the incomes you get during the shows.
If you more curious about the game, and want to check a short, ~20mins long video in which I showing what content you could expect from the game with one circus show (card battle) included, then here is mine:

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.
