Very fun game, I've replayed this so many times throughout the years

Very fun game.
I like how much variety there is. You can't just start a software company, but also a game company, a hardware factory, a call centre, and much more. You can create tons of different types of software too, and work from a pre-built office or build your own. You can also acquire competitors, invest in rare metals and use off-shore accounts to dodge taxes, trade in the stock market and more.

I even tried to start a power plant after unlocking solar panels, which went great, until a fire broke out and I didn't have the money to repair them, causing my company to go bankrupt.

Just like when I misjudged my manufacturing capabilities and took a way too big order, leading to a 20 million dollar fine (which lead to me being bankrupt again).

I am now wondering if it would be possible to start a financial company. Like, if you just take out a huge loan at the start, and then instantly invest it in a stock that's going to go up, and only hire accountants and lawyers to keep taxes low. I might try that one next.

This game has noticeably improved my Japanese.
When I tried watching anime after watching this game, I started noticing a lot of sentences and words that I learned from this game.
One of the main reasons of that, is that it doesn't teach just nouns and adjectives (still a decent amount though), but also a lot of "side words", what I mean by that is words like やっぱり (as expected), なるほど (I see) or べつに (not really), as well as particles.
These are words that are really common in speech, yet most resources don't teach them because telling someone 木 means "tree" is a lot simpler and also more fun to learn than knowing ぜ is added behind sentences to add force or indicates commands.

Funnily enough, most of my learning came not from the combat (in which you get English words and type them in Japanese, Japanese words and type them in English, or type how certain kana are pronounced), but rather from the dialogue. For me sentences just work better I guess. But drilling words during combat certainly didn't hurt.

I had the "max Japanese mode" enabled during my first playthrough, even though it was recommended to do that only when playing it again, and I don't regret it. After each Japanese sentences in max Japanese mode you get the option to view the English translation anyway, so there's not really a reason to not enable it from the start. Worst case, you don't understand it and read the English translation each time. But I, for example, already understood a lot of words the moment they first got introduced, because I had already seen them in dialogue.

If I had one suggestion (besides "just make the game longer and add more content lol" because that's easy to say but hard to implement), it would be to add more NPCs that have more dialogue. Even if they use words that are not explicitly taught. Like, if you see a forest, just have some guy say "この　もりは　おおきい　です" or something like that. As long as they use at most 1 unknown word which is easy to guess from context, most people will figure it out, and everyone else will just read the translation so nothing lost. Put it in max Japanese mode only maybe.

I barely get 20 fps with the simplest rocket possible, a simple pod+fuel tank+engine.
Stick to KSP 1, that's a lot better.

Very good, except for the curse

can't play, every time I try to play I get brought to this page. Already reinstalled it, disabled and enabled it, etc. I can play this map on singleplayer and multiplayer, but the moment I want to join my friend it just doesn't work and I get brought to this page.

Extremely realistic game.
While the character's biceps start to hurt, your wrists will start to hurt.
And while your character develops muscle mass, you develop carpal tunnel.

Google "Unity Hoppy Rushy". This is literally a template game you can buy on the Unity Store for $20. They didn't even change anything, even the character art is the same.

The game (as of writing this) costs €16,79, which is a lot. However, the game, doesn't really have a lot of content. The real fun is in user generated content. Use the powerbox mod to give characters custom traits, download a europe map, and simulate WW2. Or the Romans vs the Mongols. (in my run the Romans won) That's what I did, and it's fun. However, is it worth €16,79?

I get that it's not much money at all. The burger + milkshake I ate at burger king this afternoon cost €12, and this game is definitely worth more than 2 burgers. So it would be worth the money in a vacuum. The problem is that there are many other games which are cheaper which offer more content. So while this sucks for the developers, the market is competitive and they have to undersell their product to be viable.

It is great for making content, which is the purpose I bought it for. I bought it to make YouTube videos on, and while playing it gets old quickly, the simulation aspect means you can create tons of unique scenarios to make videos on. So it definitely is worth the money when I view it as an investment instead of a game to play.

4/5

The game is about a guy who is actually a marshmallow (although at no point do the ghost busters show up to melt him). In fact, he can't melt, he is constantly on fire yet stays fine.

It's a puzzle game. The objective is to reach the end, but doors obstruct your way there.
Doors open for you when you're the right color, which you become while walking through a colored flame.
There's also keys, teleporters, and one-way-doors. It sounds complicated but it makes a lot of sense when you actually play it.

The only negative was the difficulty spike at the end. In the video I show a chart of the time it took me to complete each level, and you'll see that the last 7 levels took me almost twice as long as the first 43 levels.
However, the difficulty itself was not the problem, just the spike. If it was slowly building up to it it would have been fine probably, but it just went from quite easy to extremely difficult in a few levels.

Nonetheless, definitely recommended.
