Colony building sims
Is it just me or are there more and more colony building simulation games* in development? Of course, I will be the last person to complain here because my first big game love on the PC was the Cultures series and they are close to colony builders. Or at least, what I loved about the…

First impressions of Parkasaurus 1.0
I didn’t put it in the subject line, but this is a post for Promptapalooza: Write that one post you wanted to write so often, but always postponed. Finally do it! This prompt was published by Glittering Girly Gwent Gaming. I have several drafts sitting here, going all the way back to 2014, but chose to…

Send help! – Games I’ve been playing in June
I bought both Project Hospital and Old World a couple of weeks ago. One evening, I couldn’t decide if I wanted to play Project Hospital or continue playing Old World. Project Hospital is a hospital simulation/management game and Old World is a turn-based strategy game. So both are different enough – and yet, I couldn’t…

My Five Favourite Game Series
Krikket posted about her five favourite game series (this topic is apparently going around in Twitter, but I haven’t seen it there yet) and I like the idea so much that I decided to post about my own here. At first, I thought I would find two, maybe three series and then I’d have a…

First Impressions: Overcrowd: A Commute ‘Em Up
Ah, me and this kind of game… of course I had to get it! It’s also a topic very dear to my heart and I’ve been known to have inward commuter rage a lot since we moved here – and a work commute that should take 55 minutes each way taking 75 minutes on average…

Mad Tower Tycoon and Project Highrise – What’s the difference?
(Updated: Jun 2020!) I bought Project Highrise back in 2016 and have played it for 56 hours. This number seems oddly low as I thought I’d sunk in much more time than that. I also bought all of the game’s DLCs. So when I saw the announcement for Mad Tower Tycoon, I was a bit…

First Impression Review: Equilinox
This is probably not a “first impression” piece, since I’ve been playing Equilinox for 30+ hours by now. But I still think it deserves more attention than just a few screenshots here. Equilinox has been developed by ThinMatrix, a single indie developer. “Equilinox is a relaxing nature simulation game which allows you to create and…

Screenshot Saturday: Tropico 6 – again
For some reason, the way I’ve played in Tropico 4 and 5 leads to bankruptcy and my Tropicans not voting for me anymore. In other words: Game over. I gave up on the game in the meantime, because losing the same mission over and over again wasn’t fun. But I love Tropico and I just…

First impressions: Foundation
I admit, I didn’t even know Foundation existed until I bought it. It was bookahnerk who told me about it, showed it to me and suggested that I’d take a good look at the game because it could be something I’d really like to have. He was right, of course. He knows me too well.…
