I launched Tactical Warfare, and the first feeling was like I was back in the era of classic RTS. I sat down to play for Terrans, decided to try to protect the Earth from invasion. An interesting construction system immediately catches your eye: you can plan the base in advance, and the units are produced in parallel. This is convenient, you do not have to wait until one barracks is completed to install another.
The gameplay is lively, especially when the first serious attack begins. In Siege Survival, you can feel the tension — the enemies are coming in waves, and if you don't allocate resources correctly, you will simply be demolished. By the way, money decides everything here, so you have to choose: invest in the economy or immediately create an army.
I was also pleased with the tactical component. There is an interesting route system — you can prescribe in advance where the troops will go and what tasks they will perform. It helps a lot, especially in difficult battles.

Money Theft is a third—person action game where the player controls a gangster who survives in a world full of zombies and soldiers. His goal is to destroy enemies and collect bags of money in five different cities. The character has firearms at his disposal, as well as conventional and armored vehicles with limited fuel reserves. The enemies are divided into regular zombies, super zombies and armed soldiers, which adds variety to the battles. The locations are large, but sometimes monotonous, and the gameplay is more focused on combat mechanics than on exploring the world. The game is suitable for those who like simple action movies without a complicated plot. However, the lack of depth and well-developed mechanics can quickly make it monotonous.

The Rings of Powder is something strange, but damn exciting. I launched the game, and from the first minutes I realized that I was waiting for something unusual: polygonal graphics, absurd dialogues and some ... all too familiar characters with “completely different personalities”. The essence is simple - you build an underground kingdom, collect resources, send units for research. But the further you play, the more you notice references, irony and completely ridiculous situations. One elf, for example, reasoned so “wisely” that I closed the game and went to rethink life. And then I came back, because the gameplay is really addictive. It's even interesting to idle here - the kingdom lives its own life. In general, if you want to relax, laugh and a little digging in the mines, this is the perfect option.

Endless Deaths is a meaty and adrenaline—fueled bagel where every ice rink turns into a fight for survival. The first hours are pure chaos: rushing through crowds of zombies, collecting loot and frantically looking for a way out. The controls are responsive, the shooting is enjoyable, and randomly generated levels keep you busy. However, complexity does not forgive mistakes in some places — you hesitate for a couple of seconds, and that's it, start over. But that's exactly what's exciting: every race is a new challenge. If you like dynamic shooters with roguelike elements, then you'll stick for a long time.

I recently downloaded 32 SECS and, to be honest, I didn't expect to stick for so long. The game is a real thrill for fans of futuristic racing. It's a cross between Tron and Cyberpunk, only at insane speeds. The gameplay is addictive: you rush along neon highways, dodge between cars, hack obstacles and get away from the cops. The bike itself can be upgraded, and the tracks are becoming more difficult and interesting. I especially liked the element of tactics — you need not just to step on the gas, but also to use boosts competently, maneuver and monitor resources. Special respect for the visual. The city looks cool, everything is glowing, the tracks are changing, and the speed feels really powerful. The soundtrack also adds to the atmosphere — the electronics are perfect for the cyberpunk style. On the downside, I would like more variability in the tasks, but if you just like to fly at maximum speed, getting high from the process, the game will go with a bang.

Shawley - Zoo of Wonders is a cute and easy platformer where you play as a girl with a huge scarf and a hammer, travel through magical worlds, rescue animals and collect stars. The controls are simple and responsive, and the worlds look bright and pleasant. From the first minutes, the game sets a relaxed pace: enemies are more of a hindrance than a threat, and the platforming does not require perfect accuracy. This is a great option for those who just want to have a good time without stress and difficult challenges. But after a while, a sense of repeatability begins to appear — the levels are beautiful, but the mechanics quickly become predictable. Perhaps the game will open up more, but for now it's more of a cozy vacation adventure than something that will keep you going for a long time.

Blazing Trail - a complex combination of retro style and modern look. Controlling a special war machine can provide a lot of challenges, and that's what you're going to do!
Destroying everything around you will be fun, although not easy. at the end of each level you will face a boss battle.
Look at the graphics, wow! the pixel-art has never been better. it's like I'm back in my old Play Station 2. They used to know how to make games. However, the high cost can scare away fans of the genre. before you buy, make sure to check out the 30%-%50 discounts.

Wow, it was like jumping right into a pirate legend! From the very first minutes you find yourself on an island with stunning views — from dense jungles to gloomy caves — and you feel like a real adventurer. The VR game mechanics are cool: climbing rocks and exploring underwater caves is not only exciting, but also really feels like a challenge. Battles with undead pirates keep you in suspense, and puzzles make you strain your brain. I especially remember my companion, a sarcastic parrot who entertains with jokes and gives useful hints. Sometimes the game seems difficult, especially when you are attacked by a crowd of enemies at the same time, but it adds spice.
I usually play car racing or cooking, with a VR helmet of course. but I just couldn't get past the pirates! 7\10
I would like to see more content, for example the island seems lonely and empty, and the cave is frankly boring! probably in the near future we can expect new DLC with new locations? that would be cool.

Mikoshi: The Lost Crystals immediately captured with its retro cyberpunk style and cool graphics - the rooftop level with neon signs was especially impressive. Each level is unique, and the comic book-style inserts make it feel like you're reading a graphic novel. The gameplay is challenging but exciting: jumping through lasers, hacking drones and epic boss battles keep you in suspense. The perk system adds motivation, opening up new opportunities as you play. Exploring the levels is encouraged — it is pleasant and useful to look for secrets. Boss battles are a separate thrill, although they require a good reaction. If you like challenges and atmospheric platformers, Mikoshi: The Lost Crystals is a great choice!

Junkyard Rush Racing immediately immerses you in the atmosphere of crazy southern racing: dusty roads, old cars and excitement at every turn. The tracks are varied, and 16 cars with the possibility of upgrades add depth to the gameplay. The controls are simple, but to win, you need to strategically use nitro and look for optimal routes. The modes include races, tournaments, and an exciting Time Trial, where you constantly compete with yourself. And split–screen multiplayer is an excuse to gather friends and have an evening of fun races. So far, the experience is great, the game is addictive from the first laps!
