Those willing to overlook the current issues and wait for improvements may find Ashes of Creation to be an interesting experience with unique mechanics. However, the release version leaves most new users with more questions than answers and is disappointing. [Early Access Provisional Score = 70]

For me, Grounded 2’s world is attractive enough to spend dozens of hours in it. Unfortunately, this world’s content, mechanics, and optimization seem to be downsides. If rummaging through soda cans and chasing ladybugs doesn’t intrigue you, it’s better to wait until closer to the release date. Maybe in six months, it will be in excellent shape and deserve attention.

Creating intricate networks of machines in games like StarRupture and watching them work is undoubtedly enjoyable, as is exploring new spaces and finding the treasures they hide. StarRupture has this same calm rhythm, but it adds a touch of mystery and danger to keep things interesting. Although StarRupture is still in its early stages, it has great potential and a solid foundation. However, a full assessment of the game's potential requires waiting for its release.

If you prioritize top-notch graphics for full immersion in the game world, you may want to explore other options. However, if you are drawn to the curated exploration experience of a game inspired by the original Half-Life, then Abiotic Factor is worth considering. This game may be controversial, but it offers a unique exploration experience that will appeal to Half-Life fans. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

Announced a few months ago, No Rest for the Wicked is reminiscent of games like Diablo and Hades, and FromSoftware games, and also takes nice things from other series. It's not as cute and fluffy as Ori, but while the tone and atmosphere is significantly darker, you can see some similarities in the highly detailed, "painterly" graphics that I can't compare to any other game. [Early Access Provisional Score = 90]

Despite being in early access, Enshrouded shows incredible promise, and while it would be easy to write off the game as a Valheim clone, it's actually much more than that. The game has a noticeable difficulty spike, but it disappears as soon as someone joins you. The world of Embervale is simply breathtaking and perfectly combines hyperrealism and whimsical fantasy. Even the most dangerous parts of the game are pleasing to the eye, and the game itself is simply incredible. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

What Starship Troopers: Extermination can give is a fun and enjoyable fight with bugs, trying to somehow survive with 15 players who are trying in every possible way to kill you along with bugs, or just doing nothing at the base. But in the end the game feels smooth and leaves a pleasant aftertaste, at this point the game has a huge potential for development. I liked the time spent in the game, but the lack of content is self-evident. [Early Access Provisional Score = 85]

Disney Speedstorm is not bad, but it is not for everyone. The game has many options for personalization and pace of the game is terrific. Fans of the Kart series will love this game. The fact that it supports crossplay will open many doors, and the content that should be added with each update will not make you bored. But for many players, the game will seem strange and slow. [Early Access Provisional Score = 70]

Despite the bugs and crashes, incomprehensible mechanics and the complete emptiness of the island, there is something to like in Sons Of The Forest. The best part of this game, as weird as it sounds, is the forest itself and what they did to the game's visuals. [Early Access Provisional Score = 75]

Disney Dreamlight Valley is an amazing life simulation where iconic characters are all around you and you can almost touch them. Adding these instantly recognizable villagers to your kingdom and befriending them through quests is fun, even if a lot of it comes down to boring errands. Even with a bunch of issues and bugs and no final act in this Early Access state, the game is well worth your time. Just for the sake of being closer to this beautiful world. [Early Access Provisional Score = 80]

Seed of Life had a ton of potential and surprised me in so many ways for what just two developers came together to create. The foundation of the story was interesting, and the world was truly stunning to walk through, but it unfortunately just couldn't grab hold of me and fell apart when it came to gameplay. It has been a year since the game was released, and I would be seriously interested in seeing what MadLight developers have been working on in the meantime. I genuinely hope that the negative reviews haven't pushed them away from making games, because, despite Seed of Life's hiccups, they have a tremendous amount of talent. While it wasn't the game for me, you can certainly try out Seed of Life on Steam for yourself, and you might even luck up and catch it on sale.

V Rising is a decent multiplayer survival sim. The game definitely deserves your attention. For a small price, you can get a large amount of content that will take dozens of hours to complete and this is only just the beginning. [Early Access Provisional Score = 90]

In my opinion, especially with all of the bugs, you should save your money on this one or wait until a heavily discounted sale. Maybe in a year or so they’ll iron out some of the issues that plagued its release and work on the “fun factor”, but it just isn’t there right now for this reviewer to feel comfortable recommending it to our readers or friends.

The story of Doctor Who: Edge of Reality follows the classic canon of the series, developing very vigorously and featuring interesting plot twists and a stunning end. The game is worth playing through, but the number of bugs and glitches interfere with the enjoyment and can force you to restart your playthrough. The idea and certain features such as the mechanics of riddles, musical accompaniment, the story of a huge universe filled with detailed lore are amazing, but the realization leaves much to be desired.

I enjoyed my time in AeternoBladeII but alas I can not give it more than 4.5/10 due to poor optimization, stubborn camera and an overall dated game design.

Going Medieval is an impressive colony-building sim, with lots of potential and a little room for improvement. Even in its current Early Access state, it is tons of fun, with high replayability due to its in-depth customization. You can make it as difficult as possible with a variety of options to choose from and just sit back and build huge settlements if that's your forte, or you could start in the dead of winter, with one villager, and brutal raids every night. Going Medieval is extremely ambitious, with many interesting systems to sink your teeth into, and a delightful world out there to explore. If only they'd let us go just a bit farther one day.

Overall, Valheim is a fairly complete game even though it is still in early-access. It suffers from some of the normal bugs and glitches that you see in other early-access titles but it also has a lot of content that is wonderful and works well. It is a great group game if you have a bunch of friends who feel like building Norse villages and going raiding. You can get this on Steam right now. I can't wait for future updates. [Early Access Provisional Score = 90]

One plus side of this release is that Skyforge is free to play! If you own a Nintendo Switch, there is absolutely no risk at all involved for you to jump in the game and try it out for yourself. I always highly encourage anyone who has even the slightest bit of interest to try it out for themselves. I will definitely be keeping my eye on Skyforge for the next few weeks to see whether or not they pull through on their end with fixes. If that happens, I would be more than happy to update this review with a newer article, score, and impressions. For now, I’ll just have to say goodbye to my beautiful wings and halo, and hang them up for a day when they can be utilized to their fullest without the constant crashing.

The simulation game is extremely dynamic and event-driven. In this, you are going to experience emergent behaviors from the game establishment patrons, as well as the customers. This will give the players a significant opportunity to have fun at the SimCasino. No matter what your playing style is, you can play and love this title. You can decide to focus on designing the casino or creating an ultra-luxurious resort, or just want to be profit-driven. SimCasino has been designed for everyone and all types of players will be able to take part in it.

The overzealous monetization aside, A3 is a solid mobile MMO, and for anybody looking for PvE progression, the mid-level dungeons available in A3 start to provide an acceptable level of difficulty and engaging combat mechanics. the difficulty A3 has is the number of sub systems that artificially increase the amount of time spent sorting your way through sub menus makes getting to dungeons something of a trial. Thankfully much of my complaints are mute in Battle Royale.

Hammerting is a great concept that runs afoul of its status as an early access game. Although systems are largely in place, some more polish and a mountain load of content could put Hammerting on its way to be a masterpiece of dwarven craftmanship. [Early Access Provisional Score = 60]

Overall I really enjoyed my time spent in Night of the Dead. It has solid base building, a decent skill tree that allows for upgrades to the character and recipes you can learn to craft. The crafting system offers a good variety of things (you can learn to craft a lightsaber). It has a good-sized map to explore and gather various items from. And the various traps I could build were fun to play with every night as a new zombie horde approached my base. [Early Access Provisional Score = 85]

Overall I feel Big Farm: Story is a nice game with a decent amount of content in this stage of its Early Access. But it felt too grindy to me with how the leveling and farming was set up and reminded me more of a mobile game where you spend IRL money to unlock things faster. This may turn into a gem of a game down the road, but as it stands now it’s a decent game but has some faults. [Early Access Provisional Score = 65]

Bartlow’s Dread Machine is a fun, action-packed dual-stick shooter that offers unique mechanics, details graphics, and an enjoyable storyline so far. I am eager to finish the game and continue on the mission. As an avid gamer, I would highly suggest trying this one out. With different levels, upgrades, and coop modes that can change how the game feels and plays each time, this will be a fantastic title for anyone. It is easy to pick up, a low learning curve, and hours of fun. [Early Access Provisional Score = 70]

Blightbound is the latest release from developer Ronimo Games, published by Devolver Digital. The game is in early access on Steam and shows potential. Out of the gate, it is fun to play with a few interesting mechanics. But issues quickly rise to the surface that may make this a wait and see purchase for most players. [Early Access Provisional Score = 65]

With charming, stylized graphics, and unique gameplay mechanics, I would highly recommend this game. While there are a few bugs to be ironed out, it is in Early Access, and those things will more than likely be fixed before we know it.

Demon’s Rise: War for the Deep tries to be a good strategy game. It offers a little depth, a little fun, and a little bit of a fantasy for those who want it. It, unfortunately, falls short of offering a memorable fantasy experience with its derivative premise, janky controls, and limited re-playability.

At this point, I can not recommend the game due to its outdated graphics, clunky mechanics, boring combat and other problems.
