Needs polishing since its still buggy but its one of the most fun police simulators out there.
Strong 7/10. If they fix the bugs its a solid 8/10. Recommended, even more if its on sale.

Westwood lives on in Tempest Rising. 8.5/10

Slipgate Ironworks made a fantastic RTS entry. Highly recommended game to Command & Conquer fans and all RTS enjoyers in general. Gameplay is very well done, story is good and even better presented. Awesome voice acting, sound design and soundtrack. Graphics are spot on too, game looks beautiful.

It is currently lacking skirmish maps tho, wich is bound to change in the future Id assume. Also the 3rd faction isnt released yet.

One of the best stealth games and top down shooters on stream. Deserves way more recognition. The story is pretty neat too.

Actually has some depth to it and the "random" rogue like part of the game doesnt feel too "unlucky". You can actually build a good deck / base and the unit combinations are fun to mess around with. Hope the full version adds more content, but that what is already there is pretty fun.

Very bad performance on a high end PC and a notebook as well. Gets stale very quick and there isnt as much "thinking" to the gameplay as one might expect. But the performance is the main issue here. Not recommended.

Considering the price tag and what you could get else instead of this, i cannot recommend this game. Its just too bare bones, the gameplay loop is as minimalistic as it is, theres not much to unlock and youll finish the game in under two hours easily. You can then do a "achivement" run that adds nothing to the experience. Youve seen it all after one run. To be honest you might have seen all after 30 minutes.

I dont get the hype. I assume its hive mind thinking, fueled by streamers, youtube and other social media. Not worth the money, sadly. I expected at least a bit more.

Also there arent really "cool secrets" in the game. Maybe one or two. Thats it.

Pretty good.
Does need item banning tho.

This is one of the games i would like to give a sideway thumb instead of up or down.
I kinda enjoyed it but it feels far less polished and thought out compared to the first one.
The first game was an absolute blast and immediate thumbs up.
Frostpunk 2 left clueless what I was doing for the first two hours.
Its unintuitive and you get swamped with notifications while learning the basics.
The whole experience was frustrating at first and then became kind of dull.
The sense of danger has been replaced with annoyance as the scale of everything has increased.
its not "for me" anymore I guess, but I still have to give it a thumbs up since its a solid game.
07/10

Absolute blast of a game. Went from a 1/10 to a 10/10 since its release. Cant recommend it enough.

They do not require a psn acc anymore. Great Game. GOTY contender!
