Early Access Review
Arguably one of the best free to play card games out there. Strategy is friendly and getting cards is the easiest I've ever seen. Monetisation is limited to variants of cards that you already own, and earning the "regular" and "premium" currencies is easy and remarkably plentiful.

"Battle Pass"es are ACTUALLY optional and don't stress the idea of FOMO as intensely as other F2P games, while offering a reasonable amount to those who don't purchase the "battle pass". In playing regularly, each "battle pass" has resulted in me going 10-15 levels beyond the end of the "exclusive" reward tiers, which results in a healthy amount of resources for the in game mechanics of "upgrading" cards, the process of making them shiny(or shinier, animated, etc).

All in all, it's a good game that you can literally pick up and put down 15 minutes at a time if you want. Good fun, and exercises the brain in an engaging and rewarding way.

Early Access Review
Disclaimer: I was offered a game key before I could purchase this game. I'd planned to purchase it, regardless.

I have been following the development of this game from the initial development announcement 6 years ago. I played the demo, and I'm 6 hours in to this so far.

AVERSION WARNINGS: If you have difficulty with bodily fluids (vomit), or Spiders, both are present within this game.

You will likely enjoy this game if:
- You enjoyed classic Fallout (1 & 2) games
- You like to explore the world
- You enjoy dystopian sci-fi/horror
- You prefer active combat over turn based combat
- You enjoy souls-like combat
- You enjoy eerie/ominous atmospheres

You will likely not enjoy this game if:
- You prefer or require voice acting
- You prefer a strictly linear story experience
- You prefer turn or cover based combat


I honestly have very little to say in way of criticisms. Combat situations can feel daunting at times near the beginning of the game, but as you explore through the game it feels like it gets gradually easier. Some areas felt a bit empty at times, but I also found interactable elements that had no use for my current story progression.

All in all, I can genuinely recommend this game. If you're one to wait on Early Access titles for the full release, that's fair. In its current state, Death Trash is worth the buy.

On the surface, it's a fun little feels good game. After playing for a few hours, I learned that it's more akin to a town building RPG than a generic feels good game. Still really good feelings playing it. It's light and welcoming, and overall nonviolent. I've felt good after playing this each time I've started it.

Great game overall. If you're looking for a game that focuses on collecting, crafting, and improving your arsenal for bigger and badder threats, this will do just fine.

Controls work well using either keyboard and mouse, or controller. I do advise fiddling with keybinds to suit what's most comfortable with you, however, as some of the default controls are inconveniently placed.

Good variety of weapons and monsters to fight, and the storyline is pretty fun and easy to follow

It's a no pressure social experiment that allows you to help and be helped by people in an anonymous setting. Sometimes all we really need is some chill tunes and words of encouragement, or a kind ear.

What started as an awkward half failure has turned into an amazing game with a LOT to offer in exploration, discovery, building and discovery. Definitely worth the buy, and definitely would recommend to anyone who enjoys space and planet exploration.

Homesick provides you with little to no direction whatsoever, and rewards experimentation and exploration. The soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, and calming. I felt as though I was exploring a historyically abandoned building. It was both a disturbing, and beautiful experience.

This game is just absolutely fantastic. Everything about it is great if you're a South Park fan. If you're not a South Park fan, then the humor in it may not be for you.

A very unforgiving strategy game, yet highly enjoyable. I spent many rounds attmepting to refine strategies to last longer, while constantly adapting to the randomization. The game looks so simple, but has so much more to it than it looks.
