I've just received my Final Qualification as a Factory Operator, and as such I finally feel able to write a review.

I didn't think that this game would be able to improve on the first - seeing as it was such a perfectly conceptualised project. But I was wrong - this elevates the game to new levels (literally). It has added three vertical layers to make the factories more compact, and a pin and crystallisation system for more complex shapes.

I haven't been able to put this game down - it is so beautiful, and endlessly demanding of your time.
It's given me a sense of satisfaction being able to "beat" the game all on my own - but now I can't settle being in the top 5% of players - I want to keep going and reach world domination!

While I can't comment on the late-game potential (aka. creating a Make Anything Machine) as I'm simply not smart enough - the base game itself is fantastic.
Well worth the price-tag!

Whether you play it for the farming sim, or the dating sim, this game likely has something for everybody. Beautiful art style, soundtrack, hundreds of unique NPC lines AND continued development from Concerned Ape. Hard to say no.

Deep Rock Galactic is one of the most well-crafted and polished games I've seen from an indie studio.
The core gameplay loop is effective, engaging, and endlessly replayable.
The soundtrack is remarkably good for what it needs to do
The land generation is absolutely brilliant, dropping you into a new environment every single mission.
The customisation is ludicrous - both for cosmetics (which are virtually all free), gun modifications and even things like your pickaxe, armour, perks for missions etc.
But above all else, the main reason this game excels in all regards, is the community, humour, and attention to detail that GhostShipGames puts into it is impeccable. Truly a game worth buying and playing.

Relaxing, simple, beautiful, and yet incredibly difficult to become a master at controlling the traffic.
A fantastic continuation from Mini-Metro, with a variety of tools to use, and locations to attempt.

Absolutely fantastic, minimalistic game. Once you understand some of the basics and fundamentals, the machines you can build from there are endless. Truly a joy to produce countless coloured shapes, finding the right way to layer them and finally start mass producing them.
Would highly recommend, provides a good 20 hours of gameplay until you complete all the tasks.

I was cautious moving from the flash btd5 to the new btd6 (not wanting to lose all of my progress), but it was an absolute blast unlocking everything again, and learning all of the new strategies, heroes and maps.
While I very rarely use any of the new powers, I love the new insta-monkey feature, as it just means I have something new to hoard.
I would highly recommend this game to anyone who played the previous games and enjoyed them, and to anyone new to NinjaKiwi, as this game is fantastic and provides hundreds of hours of fun.

This most recent addition to the Duck Life series is fantastic. It truly builds upon the classic Duck Life flash games without losing what it once was.
It's great fun training your duck with fun minigames, and then racing and battling them.
There's plenty of different games to level up your skills, and each one gets more interesting every 10 levels. What's more, is that each of the 8 skills have two games - one for the first 50 levels, and another for the second 50!
The game has a wonderful little island that you get to explore, meeting other ducks and racing or battling them to progress.
While there's no achievements as of release, the entire game gives you that same sense of completion and satisfaction that you would get with achievements (just without the bragging rights).
Once you've beaten the game, there's plenty to continue doing to progress. There's an arcade where you can play all of the minigames again, and all of their varients. There's an arena, where you can battle and race other ducks as well as other players!

I would recommend if someone wants a nice relaxing game.

Was going to wait until I unlocked expert mode, however seeing as I would like to post the review during my own lifetime I figured I'd do it now. Aesthetically, this game is a masterpiece. The soundtracks are just some no-copy-right-sounds type songs but it works well with the fast-paced gameplay. This game is Brutal, unforgiving and relentless. Perfect.

What an absolutely fantastic game. The Visuals are not only pleasing but actively engaging to look at, the sounds are stunning and the gameplay, while repetitive in nature, allow for growth in skill, ability, and strategy.
I would highly recommend.

Islander is a fantastic minimalist City builder. Whilst it's hard to compare it to anything, if I had to, then the closest games to it would be Cities Skylines and Kingdom: New lands.
The artstyle is beautifully simplistic, the soundtrack is soothing yet engaging, and the gameplay- while simple in it's basic form- sparks endless hours of replayability.
The buildings you place do not generate anything for you. Aside from the moment you place it, they do not produce resources, and are there to stay. You collect a singular currency, and through hitting certain checkpoints, can then select the packs of buildings to place next. Some forward thinking is required, however not completely necessary. To get the highest scores you can, then looking into the future is important, but if things get too messy on your island, and you've gotten enough coins to move onto another, then you can travel across the oceans to find new land to colonise.
I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who is into either city builders, or strategy games.
