I haven't gotten past the cube level yet

But for real, great 3D Program. Also I recommend getting it here on steam because
- you can track your hours better
- you can receive auto updates (if you're into that thing)
Only thing worth noting about the auto updates is that it may bork some of your addons. I'll let you be the judge if that's a good thing or not.

There used to be talk of how deep a simulation game could go. People would converse about the idea of a simulated neighbourhood, a small block of houses where anything is possible, sure the game wouldn't be as vast as an ocean but it would be as deep as one. In my opinion, while this is a very small piece of that cake, it embodies the idea rather well. Twelve minutes is a game where you play as a protagonist trapped in a time loop who must figure out how to escape. While the median of choices does appear somewhat limited at first, its the order in which you play and the way you use them that dictates the length and flow of the game.

Yes, it is somewhat short and yes there is some level of limitation, but overall I think as an experimental game that really wants to create an open ended version of a choose your own adventure, I think this game gets it astonishingly well. I'd reccomend it even more if you got it for around 15 bucks or less as the 20 dollar tag can be steep for some. The game is a little clunky for interaction and movement but fortunately its a rather small play space and dialouge can sometimes get skipped - albiet only a few words in my own experiences. Certainly worth checking out if this game intrigues you to any extent

Without a doubt one of the most powerful world building tools with an immaculate amount of potential. I just kick myself for having well over 200 hours and just now starting to figure out how to use it on my own projects. That's not to say its complex or that its simple, there is a built in tutorial to teach users how to operate the software and demo projects to look through to understand the capabilities. It's rather impressive really, shame I just never stuck with an idea long enough until now. As such I'd say to get some foundational planning on paper as it can become way too easy to get lost within the details. Overall it feels a hell of a lot easier than having a mediawikia but if that ever changes I'll be revisiting this review.

Early Access Review
A brilliant tactical masterpiece that works on all of the features from the previous game. Although some things are yet to be implemented AS OF THIS REVIEW (shotguns I'm looking at you), the game still adds plenty more from the first installment to make up for it.

Firstly we got much more specified classes, marksman, machine gunner and some dude who brought his m203 to work today. Each of them handles somewhat the same but it allows much easier reading of the battlefield on which one of your eight helmets is using a marksman rifle versus a standard M4

Oh, and that dude who brought his m203? Yeah he can chew through walls, crowds of people and other parts of the environment now that breaching has been taken to a whole new level. You can now insert through windows as well as fortified gates or even walls, because destruction is now a feature.

Overall, if you get excited looking at tacitcal maps, coordinating efforts and then seeing everything go to ♥♥♥♥, this game is right up your alley. It will challenge you, it will punish you, but if you play it right, it will reward you.

P.S - get ready for some of the bigger maps, they will eat you and your men alive.

It's well optimized, has full keybind support and even gives you some very basic resource monitoring when you adjust your settings - mainly GPU and CPU. Overall if you enjoy the gameplay or ideas behind Days Gone then you'll probably have fun. Shame its marketed at full price, I'd say 40 dollars is the sweet spot for this game but man its nice to play this game above 30 frames.

Overall it looks great, plays decently and is fun for anyone who enjoys a mix of state of decay, the last of us or any other zombie survival gameplay with crafting.

My only real gripe with the actual game is that you spend most of your time fighting against other humans rather than the actual zombies/creatures/freakers. Story is mediocre, nothing gripping but it will keep you entertained enough. None of the characters are particularily memorable and gunplay is meh, though that could simply be from some lackluster sound design. Overall I'd reccomend this game and even more so at a sale. A solid 7-8/10

Although I have yet to play Alyx, I believe that Boneworks is truly the Half Life of Virtual Reality.

Firstly is the physics system, and not just the ability to pick up bottles and smash them over zombie heads, but the inverse kinematics of movement. To put it short, your entire body is simulated in a virtual space. This means that phasing through walls is not an option and you need to be somewhat aware of your physical being. It's much more than just a gimmick as you climb, punch and navigate large open ended environments.

Combat is another fantastic element of the game as everything from sledgehammers to handguns feels meaty and powerful. Even the ability to improvise with bricks, bottles and barrels creates a sense of thoughtful encounters as even when armed with just bare hands, there's always something to use as a weapon. Firearms also have very satisfying reloads and combat techniques, whether you want to dual wield or rock a sub gun, everything is loud, deadly and fun to use.

Although I'm only 9 hours in at the time of review, I know there's so much more on the way and I cannot wait to see where this game goes. Overall, as my first true deep dive into VR I am more than satisfied and I think this is a game that anyone who enjoys first person shooters should own.

This is without a doubt one of the BEST pieces of software for not only train set enthusiasts both in and out of Virtual Reality, but also for people looking to do high concepts. I cannot recommend this enough to people who enjoy envisioning worlds, train sets or just experimenting with creativity. If you love trains - pick this up. If you enjoy building - pick this up. Overall, a great use of money and a fun use of time.

First I want to thank MandaloreGaming for reccomending me this game, its been on my wishlist for quite some now and with the steam summer sale it gave me all the reason to go and buy it.

Brigador is an isometric shooter game in which you pilot heavy machines and destroy anything and everything that lay between you and victory. The music is spectacular, the lore is fascinating to read and the atmosphere the game creates is truly unique. You may not expect much of a story at first but I must say that what is there is surprisingly entertaining to discover and overall from the gameplay and sound design to the visceral feeling of armoured combat, the game is a one of a kind wreckfest. I reccomend this to anyone especially while its on sale, its got a little something for everyone ;)
