A really fun take on the whole life sim/cooking sim genre with a cute art style and fun vibe. Really happy I kickstarted it and it got to release!

Sunken Engine is a fun take on the menial-task-simulator genre where a HP Lovecraft style story slowly unfolds as you go about doing the simple tasks that each ship requires. The content here on launch is pretty decent but I'm definitely looking forward to more being added! If you like games like Viscera Cleanup Detail and that, you'll have a good time here I think.

Picked this up on launch on Epic years ago and had a decent time, but was waiting for more content. Saw it go on a big sale on Steam so figured why not... so far its the same game I remember but with some pretty meaningful upgrades and changes. Overall I'm very much enjoying myself, and it still has the novelty of being pretty unique in this genre. Its going to be grindy if you are soloing it like I am, but that's par for the course with survival games.

Give the demo a try if you're on the fence, but overall its a good take on survival that has enough novelty to keep you intrigued through its grindy phase, with a pretty solid experience overall to be had otherwise.

I like all the Borderlands games... yes even 3. And I loved Assault on Dragon Keep... but I just can't get into Wonderlands. I've tried playing it coop, as well as solo, and given it multiple tries... but it just feels so forgettable and bland. The way the game is structured means you rarely get a nice long stretch of actual gameplay, and while the overworld is a cool concept, it just doesn't really land in my opinion. If you're interested in this, wait for a heavy discount just in case you end up disappointed.

I adored both DL1 and 2, but DL:TB just isn't clicking for me. The loop of go find a chimera, kill it, rinse repeat is just kinda boring. Outside of that the world is fine, but the zombies really get in the way of the ability to get any sort of flow state going like you could in the two mainline entries. You'll be stopping to deal with zombies way more often than in those games. And that's fine, but it gets pretty tiresome pretty quickly. Obviously the reviews say I'm in the minority here - which is fine. I'm glad most are enjoying it, but I'd rather just go back and replay one of the mainline games than keep playing this sadly.

Really cool mission-based shooter that feels like a bit of a throwback to games from the early 2000s (I mean that in a very good way). Really fun and looking forward to seeing it grow throughout early access!

Looking for something to scratch that stalker itch, specifically for something like stalker gamma? Project Silverfish has you covered. Honestly its that simple - if you like stalker gamma, you're gonna like this so just get it!

Had basically no idea what to expect when jumping into this game, just picked it up on a bit of a whim and so far I'm enjoying what I've played! The artwork, sound design and overall presentation of the game is phenomenal, and you can really tell the developer had a vision that they seem to have executed on quite well. There's a bit of a learning curve, and the game is, so far, quite challenging - but I think that's exactly what you want for this sort of experience. I've beaten my first titan and I'm looking forward to getting my ass whooped by the others!

If you are a patient gamer who is able to take the time to experiment a bit and like a rewarding challenge, this is definitely going to be right up your alley.

Also want to make a special note that the sound design is amazing here!

Really fun game that is unlike anything else out there. There are games that kinda do something similar, but none have the depth and detail that this one does. Its incredibly fun and while development has been quite slow, its well worth the price in its current state IMO.

Picked this up because its so cheap, expecting a fun little throwaway gaming session with my wife... then we played for 9 hours straight XD One of those games that executes on a few simple mechanics so well that it becomes incredibly engaging and immersive. Looking forward to seeing what they add, but its already been a blast! I can imagine this gets chaotic, in all the right ways, in larger groups!
