Fun physics. Stupid sharks.

Still a bit buggy at times, and occasionally you find yourself running into an alpha-level glitch. However the frequent updates make this game worth it, and it's been nice watching the bugs disappear over time.

Quick and easy puzzle game for when you just want to relax and do something mindlessly for a while.

I love badgers. This game is about badgers. It is specifically about a mother badger and her baby badgers and their badger journey to their badger home while avoiding things that would prefer to eat badgers.

It is a good game with badgers, and includes a badger mother minigame where you can visit your baby badgers daily to feed them badger food and keep them alive outside of the full badger game.

This is a mostly peaceful trek through the wild with the best baby badgers a mother could hope for. I don't choose favorites when it comes to my badger children, but badger Ragathor would be my favorite if I did.

I love badgers. I love this game. Badgers.

I can't remember where or when I got this game, but I finally just played it, and wow. I love everything about it. It's pretty short, you could definitely finish it in a couple hours, It's also hilarious. Sad it's over already, but I'm so glad I finally took the time to sit down and play it.

I had the usual issues when it was early access, which was fine. Then they launched it. The lobby doesn't update to show what mode is selected until everyone readies up, it defaults your voice settings to always broadcasting (voice activity) and you have to change it to mute or push to talk. Also since the launch, my game crashes every time I try to play. I've uninstalled it, reinstalled it, put it on different harddrives, checked that all of my drivers are up to date, and it just crashes. I'm hoping they fix this in a future update, because at this point it's unplayable. The parts that don't crash constantly are the same as they were in early access.

This is an unfinished game that shouldn't have left early access to meet a self-imposed deadline.

I got Stardew Valley because I wanted some mindless entertainment, but I didn't want to resort to Farmville. So far I've found the game to have an interesting story, unique interactions with the various characters within, and compelling when it comes to unlocking the various secrets within the town/game. Not quite mindless entertainment, but you certainly can spend a few in-game weeks just farming countless crops, going to bed, and immediately starting again the next day. I've played around 74 hours so far, and only within the last 10 minutes has the game started to feel like I'm level grinding for money or relationship points with the other townspeople since I've unlocked all the buildings I know of, and at this point I'd only be playing for the Steam achievements. I'm probably not going to play it again since I'm not all that interested in the 20 achievements I haven't earned, but for the time I've already put into the game to get this for, I feel like it was time and money wellspent.

This game is basically a point-and-click dictionary. You see an object, you click on it, and the game tells you the translation and pronunciation. It does as described, in that it works on vocabulary acquisition and pronunciation. I'm a bit disappointed, because I was hoping for something immersive that would push you to think instead of memorize. If you're only looking to build your vocab/work on pronunciation, you're golden. Beyond that, I can't say much about this.

I love the levels and the collectible aspect of this game. I play multiplayer pretty exclusively (as my laptop is a bit weird about playing alone and won't stay on after 6-7 minutes), and it's awesome! You can complete levels together and either aid each other or kill each other (or both at the same time. Mix it up mid-game for more confusing fun!). There are plenty of levels and maps to check out, and you can collect gems and yarnballs mid-game to purchase weapons and different heads for your character, which adds a lot of interesting (and hilarious) customization of your characters.

Definitely worth it.
