RPG gameFallout Shelter's early hours are a sharp, funny management sim, but the vault eventually runs itself and the game turns into timer-watching and chore...Mixed6.8SteamWorld Build
Simulation gameSteamWorld Build is too gentle for its own good. The link between its frontier town and the mine beneath it is a real design idea, but the game hands ...Mixed6.5Circuit Superstars

Action gameDouble Damage built the most convincing space-western dive bar ever put in a video game, then wrapped it in a mission generator that runs dry early. T...Mixed6.0Moving Out

Puzzle gameFreshly Frosted takes the automation genre's spreadsheet-brain appeal, strips out every ounce of stress, and frosts what's left in pastel. It's short ...Good7.3Kill It With Fire
