GameTechBench is a straightforward GPU benchmarking tool that offers a budget-friendly alternative to industry giants like 3DMark. While it lacks the extensive features and multiple test scenarios of its pricier counterpart, GameTechBench delivers on its core promise: providing a simple way to test your GPU performance.

The software includes just one test scene, limiting its versatility compared to 3DMark’s diverse benchmarking options. However, it still gives you a solid performance snapshot, making it a viable option for casual users or those on a tight budget.

The menu interface feels a bit clunky and could use some polish, but it doesn't prevent the tool from serving its main purpose. Overall, if you're looking for an affordable, no-frills benchmarking tool, GameTechBench is a decent pick.


Much cheaper than 3DMark.
Delivers accurate GPU performance tests.
Simple and straightforward to use.

Limited to just one test scene.
The menu interface is a bit awkward.
Lacks advanced benchmarking options.

While not as feature-rich as 3DMark, GameTechBench offers an affordable way to benchmark your GPU. If you need detailed testing, stick with 3DMark, but for basic needs, this is a solid alternative.

Top Sellers – Ecommerce Simulator delivers exactly what you'd expect from a shop simulator. It offers classic management mechanics, from stocking shelves to managing sales, but lacks depth to keep things fresh. The gameplay loop becomes repetitive quickly, limiting long-term engagement.

The game could benefit from more in-depth guides and tutorials to help players understand certain mechanics. An on-screen map would improve navigation. There are minor bugs, but nothing game-breaking—they're more of a small inconvenience than a real issue.

Top Sellers is ideal for casual sessions. You can easily enjoy an hour or two while listening to a podcast, but it doesn’t offer much beyond that. If you set your expectations accordingly, it’s a decent experience, especially for fans of the genre.

Classic shop simulator experience.
Good for casual play, especially with background podcasts.

Becomes repetitive quickly.
Lacks in-depth tutorials and an on-screen map.
Minor bugs and no route-marking feature.

Top Sellers – Ecommerce Simulator is a decent, laid-back simulator. It won’t blow you away, but for a few hours of casual management fun, it’s worth a try—just keep your expectations in check.

Liar's Bar is a chaotic and entertaining multiplayer game, especially when enjoyed with friends. The developers are actively working on adding matchmaking, making it easier for solo players to join in the fun. The game features multiple modes, each offering unique gameplay experiences, with Chaos Mode standing out as the most exciting. The music is awesome, perfectly complementing the gameplay, and the funny characters add charm and personality.

While the game excels in short sessions, it struggles to keep things engaging for longer playthroughs, often becoming monotonous after about an hour. Additionally, the lack of 21:9 aspect ratio support is a downside for ultrawide monitor users.

Funny characters and fantastic music.
Matchmaking feature coming soon for solo players.
Multiple game modes, with Chaos Mode as a highlight.

Gameplay becomes repetitive in longer sessions.
No support for 21:9 aspect ratio.

Liar's Bar is a delightful multiplayer game with vibrant characters, great music, and engaging modes. While its longevity is limited, it’s perfect for short bursts of fun with friends or solo after the matchmaking update!

After spending over 60 hours in Path of Exile 2, I can confidently say this game is a treat, especially for those who fondly remember grinding through Diablo 2. It captures the essence of the classic ARPG experience while introducing modern innovations that keep it fresh and engaging.


The grinding is satisfying and rewarding, making every session feel worthwhile. Whether you're farming for gear or experimenting with builds, the gameplay loop keeps you hooked.

Starting a new character is an absolute joy. The sheer variety of builds and playstyles ensures that no two characters feel the same, keeping the experience fresh even after multiple restarts.

The procedurally generated maps are a fantastic feature, adding unpredictability and replayability to the game. Each run feels like a new adventure.

True to the Path of Exile tradition, the skill tree is enormous and offers limitless possibilities for character customization.

The boss fights are challenging and entertaining, offering a mix of mechanics that test your skills and adaptability.

It’s worth noting that the game is still in Early Access, which means it’s not without its flaws. Minor bugs and occasional performance issues can crop up, but considering the stage of development, these are forgivable.

Tobacco Shop Simulator offers an immersive shop management experience with plenty of customization, realistic tasks like cleaning, and random events such as thieves stealing your products. While dealing with thieves can be a hassle early on, the game provides tools later to handle them effectively. Co-op mode adds a fun multiplayer dynamic, making it even better with friends.

The game has some downsides, including occasional bugs and basic graphics, but as an early access title, these issues are forgivable. The price might feel slightly steep for some, but for fans of shop simulators, it’s a solid purchase. If you’re unsure about the genre, wait for a sale—it’s worth picking up at a discount!

Random events like thieves add excitement.
Co-op mode enhances multiplayer fun.
Extensive shop customization and hireable staff.

Bugs and simplistic graphics.
Thieves can be challenging early on.
Price may be a bit high for non-genre fans.

With its mix of realism, co-op fun, and random challenges, Tobacco Shop Simulator is a worthwhile addition to the simulator genre. Fans should buy now, and newcomers can grab it on sale!

The game lacks basic customization options like resolution control, but it does include a few notable mechanics. Players can upgrade tools such as a sword to deal more damage, a pickaxe to farm cheese more efficiently, and a hammer to speed up structure upgrades. While these upgrades do impact gameplay by increasing efficiency, the overall experience still feels repetitive and uninspired.

Automation tools like the "taxi" and "mechbay" sound appealing but are poorly executed. The taxi farms cheese at a slow rate, requires frequent refills, and the mechbay robot constantly needs repairs. To make matters worse, some features, like the mechbay, are left unexplained, creating unnecessary confusion.


Co-op mode (up to 100 players) feels pointless for this type of game.
Tools upgrade system (sword, pickaxe, hammer) that directly impacts gameplay.
Boss battles add a minor challenge.


No resolution control or advanced settings.
Poorly explained mechanics like the mechbay.
Automation tools are inefficient and require too much manual attention.
Gameplay becomes repetitive and grind-heavy quickly.


While the upgrade system adds some depth to the gameplay, Cheese Co-op Clicker Simulator is ultimately let down by its clunky design, lack of polish, and repetitive mechanics. The co-op feature feels unnecessary, and the poorly explained tools and automation make the experience frustrating rather than fun. There are far better clicker games that provide a more engaging and rewarding experience.
