Smite 2; basically identical to Smite (1) with an upgraded back-end. Early access, but no bugs or issues on my end yet. To me the game looks better, but also looks a bit worse; there's something about the graphics that are throwing me off but nothing that polishing over time won't fix and it's not a big deal.

The game play itself in my opinion is great so I'd say to give it a go! As far as MOBA games go, personally I much prefer Smite over any others; it just has a certain charm to it.

The only problem, unsurprisingly is the Smite community is just as toxic as it normally is. Especially in a new game that's going to draw new attention and new players who haven't played Smite before. Winning is not that important folks, grow up and if losing a game is that damaging to your psyche; maybe it's *you* who should uninstall the game.

Granted, I don't think there's a MOBA game out there that isn't toxic.

Alright, let's start off. I've been playing this with the alpha builds provided from Patreon. This game is an exceptional gem and definitely worthy even at this point of a 10/10 score in my books. I am greatly looking forward to the future improvements and additions to this game, but there's no need to wait. If this looks interesting to you; absolutely give it a chance. There's a tonne of content available.

More detailed information below:

I've experienced virtually no issues throughout the entire time. This game is in an excellent state for Early Access.

I've also played Shapez (1) a lot and it's one of my favourite factory games. I'll break this down for a few groups.

You played Shapez and enjoyed it?

This is the solid upgrade you've been looking for, it's all here. Everything you wanted and did in Shapez 1 is available, the visuals are vastly improved of course, and the gameplay loop and upgrade features are significantly better than Shapez 1.

There's not much more to say other than if you enjoyed Shapez then this is the game you want to get.

You played shapez and didn't enjoy it?

Well, I'd say to reflect on what you didn't enjoy. Is it just the mechanics of making shapez by mining them, cutting them, and stacking them? Well, this probably isn't the game for you... However, if you enjoyed that and just never got into Shapez; this is such an improvement I highly recommend you give it a shot!

You haven't played Shapez?

Do you like factory building games, where you want more freedom to just build a factory and not need to spend hours mining iron to build it? There are limits to building an infinitely sized factory here, and you can't use all the tools right at the start; but this is very well paced!

In short, this is the most casual, relaxing factory game I've ever played and it's so much fun you need to give it a chance.

About the developer?

Very passionate, and always engaged in the discord getting feedback and listening to what everyone has to say. If you're concerned about the dev just going off in terrible directions, or abandonment, you don't need to worry about that here. The dev is very passionate about the game, and the community; and voices are heard and discussed consistently on the server!

Final thoughts:

This game is not expensive, and it has countless hours; in total I've not spent many hours in this game since I've been playing (for around 5-6 months). I've spent upwards to 100+ hours, and there's still so much I've not been able to do or see.

The game does not feel like a slog, and if you're worried about lack of content, I don't think you need to be.

It might get repetitive for you, but that's sort of the point of shapez... Rebuild, refactor, improve. Repeat.

Right now, even as an early access not fully "complete" title, this is a rare gem of a game that is worty of a solid 10/10 score.

There's not many games that I'm this passionate about, but Shapez is truly outstanding.

Kudos to the team that built this, and kudos to the community!

I was #Monarch. I inno'd a #Jester as #Town Powers should... I :knighted the revealed #Prosecutor to confirm myself. The #Prosecutor was :protected by a #Cleric and was attacked by #Coven Killing. #Lookout claimed that my visit along with confirmed #Cleric meant I was #Coven Killing, despite only 2 visits being seen... The #Monarch... and the #Cleric.

#Coven Killing was an :Astral Visit killing.

I explained I was #Monarch. I told #Prosecutor yesterday I was :knighting them. They are now :knighted.

Voting begins. I'm immediately :prosecuted. #Prosecutor gets killed. Town loses, Coven wins...

10/10 would get :Prosecuted as confirmed #Monarch again.

An excellent game, with enjoyable game play.

However, it gets repetitive quite quickly and there's not a whole lot of uniqueness from level to level. The 5 minute missions make it enjoyable of a game play loop, and honestly despite having beaten the story I want to continue playing.

I feel like this is a game that's missing a small sliver of something to push it into a far more enjoyable game, with a far more enjoyable experience.... But I have no idea what that is.

Nonetheless, I hope the dev looks to add additional min igames, puzzles, events, and/ornew hostile systems. Though, I don't think that will prevent the game from continuing to feel repetive.

This all being said that game ie wonderfully crafted and very enjoyable! 9/10

Game of the Year 100%

Amazing story, vast depth, great storytelling, beautiful world, excellent cinematic.

I don't even think there's much else to say yet, this is pure DnD presented well in a digital format and just simply play it. Hope to see more campaigns built by others in the future possible in the game.

Exceptional game, chill fun, you can download and actually print real stickers as well!

The customisation could certainly use some additional features and capabilities to really push this to the next level but it feels very well made, and enjoyable.

I am really hoping to see DLC/additions in the future!

9/10

Game is excellent, enjoyable gameplay loop so far and enjoyable characters with a lot of things to do. There's certainly some performance issue(s) at launch, but I suspect these will be fixed shortly and further improve the game.

Sound, audio, voice acting, combat system, crafting, adventuring are all spot on.

I'm really hoping for further expansions and characters in the game for even more variety; but right now I'd say it's worth the price! (Just be noted that as of a few days after launch, you may need to deal with a couple bugs/issues and mainly performance drops -- but imo, it's really not that bad)

Hit and miss, challenging at times and overwhelming always.

However, this is without a doubt the absolute best manufacturing game. Everything about this is perfect, and improvements are made all of the time. This already feels like a complete game and I don't know where the developers are going next, but the joy of building, and improving factories is exceptional in this game. The most recent update (5) has added so many QOL improvements to the game it's ridiculous compared to what you expect.

Seriously, if you have any interest in these types of games then don't hesitate for a moment longer. Buy this game, it's well worth the price. Solid 10/10.

Potion craft is a beautiful and fun "shop running" game that is easy to learn has a lot of gameplay and secrets hidden within.

Exceptional! If you liked mini metro, then don't even think for much longer this is perfect. I do hope it receives the same level of updating that mini metro received, but at this price how can you go wrong.

Perfectly crafted, clean and beautiful UI that you would expect from a successor to mini metro.

There's only one QOL change I would like to see, and that's semi-transparent motorways. I don't like how the motorways cover-up a large swath of the screen, so if I could either make them mostly transparent, and/or adjust their path that would be a huge QOL upgrade for me.

But seriously, 10/10 so much fun
