Peace is not an option

I would not recommend this game if it cost any money, but for a free product it's okay.
A very linear "detective" VN where instead of actually solving puzzles you play clunky isometric platforming runner mini-game with laggy controls. Waay too many of those.
The story is okay, writing is okay, art okay, some of the music tracks are quite good. But the gameplay is barely passable, sorry.

Frustrating, confusing, grindy, badly written but very addictive.
Feels bigger than many other early gamebooks.
Better buy the standalone version, not this DLC(automap super confusing here), but I'll still recommend.

[TL;DR: Gamebooks are good if you are a fan of the genre, the app kinda crap but not bad enough to prefer pen and paper, prefer standalone versions to DLCs]

These classic game books are quite good, sort of short and very simplified solo DnD campaign which you retry many times until able reach the end. Known for causing rename of Final Fantasy and for influencing Demon/Dark Souls.
But if you don't like classic DnD fantasy and don't have patience of a Dark Souls player, this stuff is likely not for you as well.
The app itself - not good.
These are text games with some pictures, could be done with HTML and some Javascript easily. But this is an Unity app that eats your CPU and discharges your laptop battery while only showing a static screen mostly filled with text. And it is full of bugs and has UI/UX problems. Buttons would sometimes stop working, content downloads freeze, "fast battles" setting reset to "off" or don't apply to special encounters, the automap is chaotic, icon placement often opposite to in-game directions, like "east" or "west". Controls are cumbersome.
Still way better that playing the books the normal way, throwing dice lots and lots of times, tracking battle progress and equipment/inventory with pen and paper.
Standalone versions of some of the gamebooks also being sold for almost the same price and have at least better automap.
Also some of the games exist on iOS.
Despite all the problems I listed, absolutely worth buying, but if somebody made a better version, I'd certainly advise to ignore this one.

Decent turn-based tactics game with roguelite mechanics.
The setting is intriguing, but the enemies and the missions are not exactly original.
Some of the graphics kind of ugly. The music is good.
Compared to other similar games it is too confined, too chess-like and puzzle-like, but, unlike chess, still has RNG deciding where and what enemies will spawn. Quite often there's only one 'right' move you have to find and sometimes there's none, leading to another game over. A single strong enemy in a wrong place can ruin your whole playthrough and there's nothing you can do. And then you'll have to do almost exactly the same missions again.
Generally, it is quite different from FTL and just not as fun.
I still recommend it, but you should probably wait for sale.

This is 'ok-ish' MULE-inspired economic realtime strategy game that is 10 times more complex that MULE was, but somehow ends up being less fun. Has big learning curve, tons of features and options(with all the DLCs), but does not really reward you enough to climb that curve too far.

Basically, this is a game about micromanagement of an economy. You juggle multiple changing numbers, buy/sell/build/upgrade stuff while random events and your opponents try to screw you. Usually you compete indirectly by undercutting your opponents and claiming land before they do, but can also order direct attacks from time to time.

It overwhelms you with the amount of things you have to learn to start reliably winning against AI, but after investing some time you notice you are not having that much fun, that the gameplay is actually kinda monotonous, and that the systems feel artificial, despite complexity. It could be much simpler, like Catan or MULE, or even more simulation-heavy, but ends up in-between, cheesy and overcomplicated at once. You probably wouldn't call this game design 'elegant'.

It wasn't easy for me to give this game a bad rating. It is not really bad, more like ok-ish. Just has low fun/complexity ratio. Will play few more matches, maybe will start to enjoy it enough to change my recommendation.

Very overrated Wolf3D clone.
Nice pixel art, but bad performance and quite monotonous gameplay. Laggy aiming is nauseating when framerate drops which it does often.

Wolf3D and clones, such as Corridor 7 or Blake Stone, whose gameplay this games tries to copy, were only considered good games before Doom came out in 1993. Sorry, in 2019 it is hard to enjoy mowing down waves of braindead enemies in flat maze-like levels for more than an hour, even if you ignore the performance issues and bugs. Mediocre music and repetitive sound effects don't help too.

I have no idea why so many seem to enjoy it.

This is 6DOF FPS, similar to Descent. Fast-paced, colorful, with decent music. Highly recommended! But probably not for the people who get sick easily when playing first-person shooters.
Tried to play this game in 98, but my PC was too slow and the game was too hard. This remastered edition fixes both problems and the result is actually very good!

Nice point and click adventure game with unique presentation. Very short though, can be completed in 10 minutes. (long time is because I left it idle for no actual reason)

Update: Set to "recommended" yet again, because they fixed the problems caused by the horrible patch of December 2018.

Performance and netcode are much better now, but the game still feels unfinished.
The original review:
Go ahead and pay money for unfinished game with many features lacking, with laggy network code, barely playable on weaker PCs on lowest possible settings, with small and rapidly dwindling playerbase, long wait times and useless matchmaking, with no ability to train alone with bots[fixed], full of ugly cosmetic fluff and other irrelevant crap whose only purpose is to make you buy more lootboxes with real money, with devs who spend months doing random drastic balance changes, instead of actually making the game fun to play.
Even changing the nickname costs 10$.
Until recently, they were also spying on you, but were (seemingly) forced to stop due to GDPR.
In December 2018 they released another broken update which completely changed the monetization system and made the game perform even worse despite making textures (on low settings) look like in a Nintendo 64 game, literally. But the size of the textures was never the real problem with the game and it now somehow eats _more_ RAM(9GB just in the main menu), loads even slower and lags more with these butt-ugly textures!
Was mostly fixed in January 2019, and in March we got a big patch that rebalanced the game yet again and mostly fixed the performance issues. Also made the game less greedy again, you now receive Platinum for regular logins. But by this time not many still play it.
