the start you may have possible than stuck in a tiny window, even after that the game would freeze for second even before you could play it, I say this game tried so hard not to let player to success play him.

Grimdark version of the Fallout 4 tutorial mission. Takes 20 minutes. No actual combat; it's more of a walking simulator. The set design looks nice, but (so far, in Chapter 1), that's all there is. Worth revisiting if/when the paid chapters ship, I guess.

Игра "Colony 42™" — это стратегия с элементами симулятора, где игрок управляет колонией на далёкой планете. Плюсы: реалистичная система управления ресурсами, интересные миссии и глубокая экономика. Минусы: сложный геймплей для новичков и иногда глючные механики. В целом — увлекательно, но требует терпения и стратегического мышления.

Fun game, great price. Sorry it was cancelled. Looked promising.

No. There are almost no settings. What to do and where to go is a complete mystery. Maybe I would have given this game a chance, but I was sick of constant twitching. 13 striped mattresses out of 666 standing at each table, chair and drawer. Very patriotic!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
