Some nice QOL additions with the 25 version like the built in GPS mod, albeit with some of the bugs from the previous version also. Still in the teething stage with fixing bugs that should have been detected before launch. But at the end of the day its more Farm Sim. If you are someone who liked the previous titles and wanted more, this is definitely that.

Nice laid back chill experience which makes a change from the action of most other games on my play list.

Streamed the title for a couple hours today and its such an incredibly chilled out experience. We really need more titles like this that have no crazy goals to chase. Just a cozy chilled experience to unwind and relax to.

3 settings built and many more to go.

As someone who has put plenty of time into similar games like Dome Keeper I went into Wall World with an idea of what to expect. The thought of Dome Keeper with a movable dome really got my interest. Presentation of the game is excellent, I love the pixel art and design. The first few runs were short and pretty rough however the roguelite game loop is satisfying with things feeling a little easier after getting some of the permanent upgrades.

There is a lot to like for the $5 price of entry.

I dont play many rhythm games, its definitely not a good genre for me so when I saw this release although I loved the art style and norse mythology I was wary.

I was then gifted a game key and figured that as I spent a few days playing Hi-fi Rush and enjoyed it why not jump into another rhythm game.

I am very happy that I did, the art style of the game was everything I had hoped for and the story was deeper and more meaningful than I expected. Completed 1 playthrough in around 5.5 hours on normal, the rhythm combat wasnt as bad as I had feared. But a big part of that is that the music as great, makes the whole rhythm component so much simpler when you enjoy the music. I failed on a couple of puzzles (I will get them on a 2nd run) and was happy the ones I was stumped with werent linked to any main progression.

Overall it was a very nice surprise.

I played through the game over 2 evenings on Twitch and really loved the whole experience. The game was extremely chill and just let's you explore each area at your own pace. Realising the photos and sound samples I took were kept locally in the games save folder after I finished and went to backup my save was such a neat little touch. A sweet reminder of the journey and seeing around 150 images in the folder made me realise I took a lot more photos than I thought I did.

The game itself is gorgeous to look at, the whole soundscape is very relaxing and the story was very well written. Story itself is mostly linear, there were a couple choices near the end however I am not sure if they have any impact on how things progress from that point. I will play it again sometime to find out.

I love me a good shooter however every now and again a game like this comes along and makes me realise there arent enough peaceful / non violent titles releasing. I really hope the game gets all the praise that it deserves and I look forward to seeing what the developers come up with next.

I play a lot of sims of this type and find them a refreshing change of pace from the usual mainstream violence.

I tried a demo of WW2 Rebuilder last summer during one of the steam events and was intrigued by the mix of history with a genre I enjoy. Having now played through all the main missions over 3 days on Twitch I can honestly say I have been left impressed. It makes a nice change to see a different view of events around WW2, the themed collectables on each level were a nice touch. The game wasn't without a few bugs however with so many different mechanics I am not surprised that they weren't all perfect. However any ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I had can easily be smoothed out via patches. Operating the crane being the most finicky. I am sure the plane on the London level tried to take off after I grabbed it.. :D

Anyway, for people who enjoy this type of sim its a great package for the price. I look forward to seeing the next projects from Madnetic Games..

Played through this over the last week, waited a while at launch to give the game time to get its first couple of patches out.

I went in for the narrative not expecting much and have to say that I was really impressed, I did my 27 hour playthrough on Twitch and bugs were minimal, one benefit of waiting a couple months maybe. For a game of this scale as a first release from a new indie dev it really stood out. A couple of the voices didnt really fit the characters but with everything being voiced and there being so much of it I wouldnt complain about it.

The story really made the journey worth the time and with choices that seemingly really do impact the direction of the story. There were a couple of times where I backed up my save and went back to see how much of an immediate difference it made and was surprised. Now after finishing the game I really want to plan a return to do a fully opposite run than the one I did. My first playthrough being a "good guy" trying to unite and save everyone.

I want to congratulate GoldKnights on the title and really look forward to whatever project they are working on next. They remind me a lot of Spiders with their story telling and I just want more.

The Knight Witch created a genre mashup I never thought I wanted. I play a lot of metroidvanias and have played a lot of classic shoot-em-ups in my time. Mixing them together and adding some card mechanics works very well. I am about 40% through the game atm at around 5 hours and loving it so far. Overall presentation is really fantastic, very colourful cartoony graphics (much like Rise and Shine also from super mega team). Also really love the music, it fits the setting so well.

It took a while to get started, feeling like I didnt have any real power but after a few hours everything is coming together and I look forward to getting back to the game tomorrow.

I have a love / hate relationship with Puzzle games but throw me a good narrative along with the puzzles and I am set. Entropy Centre did just this. The puzzles and narrative blend together incredibly well, not many puzzle games really do this right causing a disconnect between the story and puzzles. The Portal franchise are classic puzzlers that aced this, which helps explain why the game gives some heavy portal like vibes playing. The puzzles here range from simple to very clever and some definitely got me thinking outside the box to get them solved. Audio and Visually the game was great, with a great connection between the two main actors. Everybody could use an Astra in their life. :)

Highly recommended for puzzle game fans and a great first title from Stubby Games.

Edit: Recent patch allowed me to get the last achievement.. Happy times..

I only learned about the game last year during one of the summer showcases but have been following it since then. Although only a week into early access the game has a lot of content and a satisfying gameplay loop. The addition of needing to take care of the Onbu on top of the city building sim adds an extra level to what this type of game normally provides.

I will be following Early Access and easily recommend this to anyone who enjoys the genre.
