Visually pleasant but it has a poor UI in terms of clarity of information. I was locked out of progressing due to a mandatory tutorial quest bugging out. Uninstalled.

This game was great but has seemingly been riddled with bugs since Paradox Interactive bought it from Introversion Software. Pretty horrible to see a favourite ruined after being completed for so long. Let me know if things improve, but as far as it goes this is getting indefinitely uninstalled.

No 2160p monitor UI scaling. If I can't read it I can't play it. Uninstalled.

Living with a severe physical disability can make gaming and general computer use difficult at times, but this app is a powerhouse when it comes to improvising accessibility options for yourself or someone you know. Voice, keyboard, mouse and gamepad are all available as activation methods for scripts. Basic functions are easy enough to set up but for more complex scripting be prepared to to spend some time with trial and error.

If you can't work it out then head to the VoiceAttack official forums[forum.voiceattack.com]and be amazed at the amount of help available from other users. Seriously this is one of the best £10 I've ever spent. I suggest combining this with Hot Virtual Keyboard[hotvirtualkeyboard.com]for those that struggle with hotkeys, keyboards and such. Just be aware the voice recognition function relies on whatever voice recognition software you already use, so if you're only using Windows' built in offering don't expect great results.

A game of image recognition and short minigames under a time limit of 200 seconds that resets each ingame day. It also includes light branching pathways with a relatively short playtime, multiple endings and numerous interactions per character, boosting replay value considerably.

It loads in a flash and performs flawlessly and while the pixel art is good enough, the aesthetics and music really set the scene. It's odd, funny and has a slight edge in it's tone. Whilst the writing is brisk and humorous don't go expecting anything thought provoking.

At the 45% sale price (£7.41) I bought it at, it's not a bad purchase at all.

An SRTS (Stealth Real Time Strategy) game in the same vain as Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. In truth, it's a poorly executed clone of that game. Fun enough, with good voice acting, pleasant music and perfectly decent level design, it even evolves the team synchronisation mechanics common in SRTSs with slow motion and actual gunfights. Unfortunately a plethora of bugs, less attractive art direction than ST:BotS and seemingly tacked on inter-mission resource & equipment management make this game difficult to recommend above Mimimi Games' efforts.

Also, now I know how specifically this period is/has been frequently used to justify Russian aggression towards its neighbours (e.g. Ukraine), it's hard to not come away with a bad taste in your mouth. Nothing to do with the game mind you, but still.

I'll likely finish the game, but know that there are better alternatives.

This game seems to have potential but the art style comes off as really tacky and cheap and the SFX and voice acting is unbearable. Like seriously, hire someone that knows their way around sound design.

I'm having fun so far but the UI scaling is nowhere near enough for 4k resolution. There's been improvements but some of the menus are still illegible without zooming in AND using Windows Magnifier (I have found an imperfect workaround for this issue which I detail here). There's also multiple tower defence features missing that have been standard for years now including:
- No rotate function which often makes placing towers really awkward.
- No speed increase/decrease options
- It's not super clear exactly how some towers and targeting priorities precisely work.
- Waves are called levels but towers also have experience levels, leading to confusion in some game mechanic descriptions.

Other lesser gripes are the complete lack of art direction and a scant few very irritating MIDI style tunes for the game's music. Thankfully you can turn that off.

I'll change this review if it improves.

This is a clone of Warfare 1917. It plays well and is quick to pick up. It's got a fun albeit indistinct art style and the action is really nicely animated. Unfortunately it's quite clearly a Pay-To-Win mobile game despite being developed by a Sony (1st party?) development studio. It's also got really slow servers and multiple bugs that required rebooting the game. If you want a modern Warfare 1917 clone try Warpips instead.

It's a very short, very easy point and click game. I've 100%ed this, achievements and all, within 3.9 hours according to Steam's playtime indicator. That includes some distractions like a quick look at an achievement guide. With that said it's delightfully fun and has a very funny, lighthearted and quirky sense of humour.

There's not much to comment on if you've watched the trailers. You're getting exactly what it says on the tin and I had zero technical issues. There's no real replayability past achievement hunting so keep it in mind that this is very much a one and done experience, not that that's unappreciated.

I got this for 70% off during the winter sale (£3.08 as opposed to £10.29) and I'm very happy with my purchase. I think I would've been disappointed with the runtime if I paid full price, but I've paid that much for far less entertaining cinema trips in the past so, y'know. I definitely recommend it.
