my favorite color is mold

KovaaK's is built for aim enthusiasts of any skill level, it is easy to get into for a novice and has staying power to become part of a pro's routine. I've played shooters for 15 years now and I've been plateaued for the past 5 years or so. KovaaK's has honestly helped me step up my game, and I've began seeing visible improvements in my aim and mouse control ever since I've added it to my gaming routine.

It should be known I'm not some elite level FPS God, I consider myself pretty casual. Aim trainers always intimidated me but there are so many resources out there for this program in particular. Whether it be playlists, themes, crosshairs, benchmarks, etc, this is truly a jack of all trades package and I cannot recommend it enough for aim enthusiasts.

If you are genuinely looking for a way to improve your performance in shooters, I highly recommend KovaaK's. Even if you don't necessarily have a "main game" at the moment, this is enough of a game in of itself to keep you entertained. The leaderboards are intimidating, and honestly you're going to be hot garbage when you start, but it is satisfying to see your rank grow higher on your favorite aim scenarios. There are multitudes of different playlists to explore, built specifically for many different games such as CS, OW, CoD, BF, Valorant, Deadlock, really all FPS games that people still play.

Regardless of your skill level, I highly recommend this experience.

This game feels like home, in the strangest way. The atmosphere of the facility and the horror aspects of the trials speak to me in a way no other game has. I am schizophrenic and have been in psych wards myself, and some of the aspects of the game such as the psychosis feature is actually very realistic and it's jarring. In a good way; it's actually such a unique feel in a game for me.

The actual gameplay is great as well, a bit tedious when playing solo but with a group it's some of the most fun I've had. The lack of FOMO items is a huge plus, and other games should take note.

The only real complaint I have is the fact some of the rigs do not feel very useful. I don't really see a point in using any rig that isn't the stun or jammer, unless for the sake of variety.

this is such an oddly specific complaint, but this game's tutorial is awful. it actively made me want to uninstall the game and never play it again. for a game that stresses freedom and a sandbox world where you can skate and do anything, the tutorial is such a slog and it interrupts your gameplay every 15 seconds. i've never been more infuriated playing a tutorial in a game in all my life. i'm actually almost impressed.

I hear the beeps of the machines and whirrs of the conveyor belts in my sleep.

I really enjoyed this game, I purchased it on sale and was not disappointed.
It is a very simple game. You literally just inspect packages and ship them. On paper, it might be the most boring game of all time, but it's actually a blast. It is so relaxing and the perfect amount of tedious to feel enjoyable and rewarding.

Early in the game, you do everything by hand. Weighing, inspecting the contents, stamps, etc. Of course, once you expand your facility and earn enough money, you can purchase machines to automate some (or even all!) of the work for you. The game has satisfying progression where you start out doing all the work and it's actually quite tedious, but you organically expand your facility and gain new machines to help make your life easier. I enjoyed the progression very much, and by the end of the game I had a ton of conveyor belts and everything was automated.

That being said, there are some minor annoyances I came across.
For one, storage is a massive issue. By the end of the game, I was processing so many packages that I just didn't have enough room for storage racks to hold all of them. So I always needed to have an ugly pile of boxes laying around which I didn't find very appealing. That being said, I could have fixed it had I spent the time. But it takes a very long time to rearrange things, since you can't just pick up multiple objects at once and having to move conveyor belts one at a time is very slow.
There are also other little things such as packages getting stuck on conveyor belts and the launcher pads not being 100% reliable. But, these did not take away from my experience.

I highly recommend this game if you are into these job simulators. It's relaxing, keeps you busy, and satisfies your need for automation and business growth.

It took me around 24 hours to get all of the achievements.

I think this game is perfectly fine for what it is

it's more of a "race against the clock" type of racing game. as in, it is entirely time trials.
it is pretty short, I was able to get all achievements in a little over two hours.

I enjoyed it quite a bit though! for the price I think this game is great. the graphics aren't blow you away amazing but the cars and tracks do look nice, and the driving physics are fun.

don't go into this game expecting anything groundbreaking. it's just time trials in some old racecars. but it is very enjoyable to me, it was oddly relaxing to play through. I could see myself reinstalling this game down the line just to play through it again to chill out

i want to love this game so badly but i feel as if it's too big for its britches

there isn't enough to do and updates are too scarce and small. if this game was what it is on paper, then it would be absolutely incredible. but it just isn't there yet, and truthfully i doubt it ever will be

I love this little game.

HOWEVER! It should be noted that this is not a game that you launch and give all your attention to. It is a true idle game, and more like a little desktop buddy that you plop onto your second monitor and click on every now and then. There are lots of customization options for your little frog friend and his island, and you can make the background of the game transparent and resize it so it can fit anywhere on your PC.

I personally love this game. Just know what you are buying; it is not a clicker or something that takes much thought. Your frog friend just cuts his grass and occasionally you buy some upgrades to make his life a little easier.

EDIT: After 100%'ing the game, I will share a few tips:
It takes around 275 hours or so to 100%.
I also highly recommend disabling the Steam overlay for this game. This game functions perfectly fine while you're playing another game alongside it, but if you shift-tab to bring up the overlay in another game, it will break Ropukas and require a restart. Disabling the Steam overlay for Ropukas solves this problem, and it does not effect your stats like achievements or play time.

I want to like this game so badly, but in its current state I simply cannot.

Once you read some guides and figure out how to play, the first few hours of this game are an absolute blast. The game is incredibly charming and the combat is simple and smooth.

However, eventually the grind comes to a screeching halt, and it soon takes hours to make noticeable progress.

And even when you DO make progress, it doesn't feel good or rewarding because eventually you will have all of your items and gear stripped away from you when you progress to the next area. It feels like a slap in the face after becoming attached to your high quality gear to get them taken away so abruptly.

Like many other players, I ADORED the alpha version of this game. It was honestly one of my favorite games ever made. I played it endlessly and I miss it dearly.

I really hope the developer decides to revert the region-locked gear changes and brings the spirit of the alpha back to Cube World Omega.

I really look forward to more updates. I look forward to updating this review once some changes are made. There is a masterpiece of a game here somewhere.

Do not purchase your SWTOR subscription through Steam.

I did not listen to the reviews and discussions. I was scammed out of my money and had to go through SWTOR's official website to subscribe instead so that I would not be placed in a Preferred status.

Game is amazing and I recommend it to anyone, just don't try and subscribe here.
