Abandon Ship is a difficult mixture of a pirate/sailing game, a Lovecraftian story, and FTL.

You play as a ship in a world infested with a Lovecraftian cult and the associated monsters. Gameplay consists of manning a ship and surviving through battles with other ships or monsters, and sailing from port to port for exploration or quests.

The world is made up out of multiple smaller maps, connected with gates. On these maps there are multiple random (and some story-scripted) encounters, which consist of random events, simple decisions such as give food to a stowaway (or not), or full on ship to ship battles.
Often, you have to clear a number of these random events before the gates on the current map unlock, allowing you to proceed.

Battles are the core gameplay feature. The ship has multiple stations such as the helm, cannons, and mortars, and you have to assign crew members to each one you want to be active. You are limited by the number of max crew, and crewmen can die or get injured during combat or events, which means you will have to juggle positions during the fight. Fortunately, it is pausable. Enemy shots can also cause hull breaches or fire, which has to be taken care of. And on top of that, some maps have features like lightning storms or massive waves, which cause further danger during combat.

Ports are literally the safe havens. Here, you can repair and upgrade the ship, and revive wounded crew, or get new one. Most story missions also take place in ports.

The story serves well to keep you going from port to port and does a good job of explaining how to play, but the game remains difficult. Each encounter is a real challenge.

A mixture of a rage game, a puzzle game, and a meta-narrative game. Dude, Stop is overpriced, but if you get it for a discount you can have fun with it.

Flockers looks like Lemmings and presents itself as Lemmings, but it's not Lemmings.
Lemmings is a puzzle game where typically you have time to look ahead and take the right action to get to the goal. Hazards are clear (at least after falling for them the first time).
Flockers gives you little time to react to the unpredictable dangers in the world and is mainly about quick reactions. You never can tell what will happen, so it becomes a matter of retrying levels over and over again without being able to rely on prior knowledge to beat future levels.

Still... it's not a bad game. It's just presented entirely wrong. Approach it as an unpredictable platformer and it might come across much better. Lukewarm recommend.

One of the most absurd stories I ever saw even in pr0n games, the author must either have a vivid imagination, be on drugs, or, likely, both.
Some of the wildest renders you will ever see.

A beautifully detailed state to expand the ATS experience, with some of the most unique depots yet. Missouri has a varied landscape with mountains, farmlands, and rivers, and it all comes across well here.
There are also a lot of fine details in the state ready to be discovered.

If you own adjacent states, this is a must-have.

Agent Horny is a lewd kinetic novel where you basically play as an American James Bond.
The story is short but it has some really well made scenes throughout, and nothing is missable because you can always choose to play the other scenes as well, when there is a choice.
At several points you can choose an outfit for one of the females to wear during the next scene.

There is a bit of replayability in finding the hidden gallery images, but other than that it is a straight story. The various settings keep it interesting, though.

Some games made about Yasuke are absurd and only exist to insult the Japanese people and their history, and are in general a mockery of good game design.

And other games are not by Ubisoft, like this one.

Dolmenjord sells itself as a puzzle game, but it's extremely shallow. You mostly only have one solution for each map so you end up placing the same Tetris-like pieces time and time again.
I quickly got bored, since the gameplay at the start is all that this has to offer.

You play as an astronaut exploring an abandoned Moon base. Part walking simulator, part third person platformer, part puzzle game: Deliver Us The Moon has a lot to keep you going.

Darkarta is a very polished HOG with an Indian setting. Some of the puzzles are frustrating to solve but the actual HOG parts are great, with no odd names for items.
