80+hrs still enjoying this game,
This is a crafting survival game, so if you are not into the grind of gathering materials to make gear and build bases, and vehicles, this will not appeal to you.
It is also important to note this game has base upkeep in the form of Taxes(paid at cities based on your base qty and size), and bases have power fuel consumption to shield against storms that rip your base apart.
Leaving the game for any extended period of time can result in your base(s) being destroyed by storms.
There is a bank though where you can safe keep a limited qty of items and also backup a vehicle plus base 'design'.
  
Over all, Funcoms take on the Dune universe is great, the world is beautiful and can be unforgiving.
The story elements have been enjoyable and the exploration has been great once you leave the starting south zone of Hagga basin.
Lots of PvE quests to do, and the base building is simple and imo fun!

PVP
PvP accounts for around 10% of this game, with some crashed ship sites(some quests go to these), and the Deep Desert.
But PvP is avoidable for the quests by going at quiet server times, and everything in the Deep Desert can be purchased from the market in the cities provided players are posting them for sale...

PVE
PvE AI is not great, but is 'OK' but dumb.
The 'core gameplay' is good, but lots of room for improvement, especially with melee combat as while fun, it feels lacking.
Early game area is a little bland and boring, with some POI's being almost direct copies(this improves a lot in the second zone)

WORLD
World Environment again is beautiful with amazing sun rises/sets and storms that roll in and will kill you and damage/destroy any unprotected vehicles or structures.

DEATH
Death gives you a chance to self-revive or have someone assist you, else you drop some resources form your pack
If you die to Shai-hulud(worm) or if you die in a storm(easy to find shelter) then everything on your character is taken.
Without saying.. Water is life... neglect it and you will die!

PROGRESSION
Progression is via XP, as you level up you gain skill points for the class skills, and research points to be used to unlock crafting blueprints
XP is gained by doing things in the world like gathering mats, killing mobs and completing quests and conracts.



SUMMARY
I have enjoyed the game thus far, looking forward to what they bring in the future and having not even touched on PvP can say that people concerned over this aspect should not be worried, as it is avoidable for the most part.
The game is far from perfect but what game is perfect these days...

If you like survival crafters, this game might be for you but is pricey atm

Awesome crew game,
If you like coop games this is one to keep eyes on!

Currently there is a Demo available for a limited time so jumpin and check it out!
This is a *Beta Demo so does have issues but gives you a great taste of what is to come.

A roguelite game that has you jumping from instance to instance fighting back against a robot up rising as a rebel fleshbag.. I mean human!

Pilot the ship, take up gunner positions, scan for targets, and manage the chaos that this game will throw at you!
Go EVA and perform boarding action on the enemy to steal their components, and put boots on the ground to complete ground based objectives.

Progression is ship modules/upgrades, levels, and cosmetic unlocks with lots more planned in the full release.

Awesome upcoming game, well worth checking the demo out ASAP!

Like what you have read so far?
Add it to your wishlist, it costs nothing and you will be notified when the game drops to check it out again!

If you are an old fart like me, and your vision is just not what it used to be... this app is great!

It allows you to replace the mouse cursor in most games or other programs with a cursor of your own choice
Use what it has, cursors from the workshop, or make your own
Customise the mouse per game/program, choose colour, size, style, and more!

This helps a lot if you find some of the fun games you play have so much going on you loose track of your mouse due to poor, or degrading vision

A simple program, just run it with any other game you are playing and press CTRL-ALT-C to open the configuration screen up and tell it what you want the cursor to be for that game/program

100% worth the asking price!
Have been using it with 33 Immortals as there is no mouse cursor options and that cursor blends into everything!

Feel free to comment "git gud", "skill issue", or what ever other insult you can burn me with! :D

Early Access Review
A neat hidden gem!

Awesome Combat Sim that has a great balance of flightsim systems with arcade action and gameplay!

Game is PvP, PvE. but most servers run the PvPvE large battle mission, and yep it can be played 100% solo!
- Supports TrackIR
- HOTAS Support
- And plays perfectly well with KB/Mouse

Play scenario's, community missions, or dive into large battles with combined air, sea, and land based threats to defeat to work your way to victory!

With a bunch of different aircraft ranging from a light prop driven aircraft up to massive jet power stealth looking bombers, choppers, fighters, and even an EW aircraft to intercept missles, and jam systems
You will need to think strategically when selecting the right tools for the job, as funds are limited in certain gamemodes

You will need to analyse the map, choose the right aircraft and loadout to help your team secure dominance over the battlefield.
Take out military convoys, capture air fields, destroy radar outposts to better hide your movements, and deploy nuclear weapons to decimate your opponents!

Not into large scale missions, there is plenty of smaller missions you can play, or you can just build your own with the inbuilt mission editor!

In my opinion, this game is well worth current asking price, if you are looking for a game that sits right in the middle of being a flightsim and an arcade game, this will definately hit that target.

Not sure? - Wishlist it!

A fun silly game where you deploy with a team to get the best photos you can!

Employed to report on the stories no one else will, you must meet your value quota
You get three attempts before you are fired and the game is reset
Each round you deploy and must try to capture photos that result in the most value, this is done by ensuring your photos are clear, capture as much chaos and things going on as possible
Your team has shared currency to buy equipment, to help with later levels where the quota is much harder to reach!

The thing I LOVE about this game is that you can call it a night at any point and the Host can just load up where you left off last!

Fun little game!

Game is very basic currently but if you enjoyed Content Warning, or are looking for a goofy game to fill a weekend this is 100% worth the price, very fun!
Looking for something serious, that has lots of content, and persistent progression? - This will not be for you!
Best enjoyed with friends!

Fun 3 player co-op roguelite

Choose from one of four character classes, each with their own unique abilities, and play styles
Dive into a cheesy retro cartoon inspired realm, to defeat the evil forces taking over

While delving you will find gear to help you through the run, as well as perk/upgrades at the end of each room, all reliant on the RNG Gods
Completing a run rewards runes used to upgrade shops, this allows upgrade of perks you roll for in each run, gear, etc
One of the shops is the constellation this allow perma upgrades to stats like cooldowns, dmg, hp, def etc

At the end of the run you keep gold, runes, and gems, all gear, perks/upgrades collected during the run are reset

Played through on Mythic I and enjoyed it!

While the game is good, it can get bland sometimes, and there are some characters that are missing something to give you that satisfaction
Levels are static and do not seem to change with each play through(working on Mythic III now) which is unfortunate as more RNG in the levels might added more attraction replay for some even if this was a Mythic I, II, III feature

Price is a little high straight out of the box but 100% one you should wishlist and pickup with some friends!
Fun game overall, can sometimes feel bland, but still enjoyable to play!

Awesome chill little game,

No resources, No management, No Quests, No Objectives, No Stress - Just build...

The game has some set environments to build in, if you need inspiration each day there is a theme released to help your creative cogs to get moving.

As you build the small details appear randomly to decorate your creations

If you are after a chill building game, this is perfect!

After a more futuristic game like this?
Check out Dystopika while that is a city builder, it has the same core creative gameplay

Early Access Review
Recommend BUT, as with any 'Early Access' game, expect bugs, janks, and broken things!
You are NOT buying a finished product, or one that works well, if at all.

WHAT IS IT?
A third person extraction shooter, with an emphasis on stealth.
Deploy on quests to enter dead and battle zones to extract with water, materials, or equipment.
Avoid the hostile forces and war raging around you, and make it out alive.
If you die, you loose anything you had, or brought in.
And do not loot too much, as this attracts unwanted attention!

HOW IS IT?
It has bugs, janky AI, core controls need polish, but game premise is great, and the environments are amazing!
The game is very playable, I have enjoyed a few hours of so far, and apart from getting brutalised multiple times, there is nothing majorly game breaking I have found(yet).

Lets talk Water, its an important commodity and something that drains in 'real-time'.
This is a weird system but it is not as bad as people claim it to be.. I have found plenty of water and you can get a base cap of 55 days or water without any upgrades.
It is something totally different and will be interesting to see if the push against this will see changes to how this system works.

IS IT WORTH IT?
No.
Not unless you want to support the Developers and this product, or you are into the core premise of the game and have been looking for a good PvE Extraction game, and want to see if develop and evolve.
There will be a Demo in OCT.

DONT BE A FOOL!
Watch videos, streams and invest you own time into researching if you like the premise of the game before you buy it.
This is a VERY Early Access game, you are purchasing an unfinished Work In Progress title.
Don't have time to do this? - You won't have time to play this game.

I recommend this as honestly, if look past the jank, and unpolished systems there is a gem in this rock, and I want to see this gem polished!

Update: While they do not have Server Transfers, they now have Server Invites for friends which is at least a start.
In short decent game, will be interesting to see how it goes after the season 1 wipes though.

Great game, but with no server transfers and servers with mid pop status indicating server full so you cannot join your mates, I cannot recommend this to new players who want to join with others who play.

Will update review when this issue is resolved or server transferring becomes an option.

If you play solo, get into it, it's a good game.

Early Access Review
With lot's of Lethal Company type of games coming out, this one stands out a with its unique approach!
It combines crew based vessel control with the survival horror of games like Lethal Company and Sketchy Contracts

You are a contractor of sorts tasked with cleaning up or disposing of evidence from failed experiment sites

Use Helm, Throttle, Sonar contact direction, and Signature matching stations to navigate the ocean avoiding hostile creatures, police, and picking up loot on the way to a job site.

Anchor at the job site and dive into the deep dark corridors and vents in search of anything that could be used as evidence and destroy it or bring it back to your vessel to shred and get cash rewards to buy upgrades and enhancements for your crew and or vessel

Personally I love the Aesthetic take on games like this, the low resolution adds to the atmosphere the game is trying to create and for me is nostalgic back to the good old CRT monitor days of gaming!
I love crew team work games, and also this type of aesthetic art style, it honestly is very complimentary to its dark and 'murky' hard to see vibe that it is going for!

The game has some know bugs that the Developers are actively working to resolve being in EA.
Check the forums as the Developers seem fairly active there acknowledging the community feedback and suggestions.

Price tag for game play, if you like this type of game you and your crew will love this one!
Well worth picking up, and I am looking forward to seeing how it progresses through EA!
