Relaxing building game that's easy to learn and fun to master. Reminds me alot of Anno 1404, altough Foundation seems to let you get more creative with your building projects than 1404 did. There's very few bugs in the game, but also alot of work that needs to be done before the game reaches full potential.

Great MMO with enjoyable questing, great lore and a great community. The end game could be better, especially the PvE which becomes boring somewhat quickly. Also there's a bit too many microtransactions, and some of them are a bit "pay to win" - such as the mount upgrades, bag/bank space upgrades and experience scrolls.

A beautiful game with an intriguing story and great music. What drags it down is that the game is very short, about 5 hours long, and that the price is a bit high for 5 hours of gameplay.

A really good RPG that doesn't hold your hand throughout the game. Outward feels alot like the Gothic and Risen series mixed with Dark Souls. The enemies are hard, there's no directions of where to go and your level of effort in quests matter.

Pros:
- Good and fun combat, with many different weapons, talents and playstyles
- Many hours of exploration, with secret areas and lots of quests (possibly 100 - 200 hours of gameplay)
- Big replay value
- Fun to play with friends

Cons:
- Repetitive music
- The voice acting is pretty bad, and often they say something different than the actual dialogue
- A little bit too expensive in my opinion, but worth the purchase

An incredibly fun game to play with friends, and no matches plays out the same way. PUBG has kept me entertained for about 700 hours now, but it has a long way to go before I would recommend it.

Despite being "finished" there's many bugs (some hilarious, most bad), lag and bad FPS. Before release they said there would be no loot boxes, which there now is, and most of the boxes you get from the in-game currency requires a 2 dollar key to open. And now they introduce a "season pass" for 10 dollars that expires every month. The developers seem to wait with fixing the most important issues, and instead push out as many microtransactions as possible. Before they fix the main issues, and improve their business model, it's hard to recommend this game to anyone.

The game in itself is alot of fun, and I might recommend the game later on - if they decide to fix it.

Guardians of Ember can be described as Titan Quest in an MMO setting. Although many ARPG/Hack and Slash games have an online feature, there's not many games in the genre where you can see other players as you adventure through normal areas in the game.

The game looks fantastic with its graphics and design. And provides fun combat and randomly generated dungeons. Like most games in the genre it's a very "grindy" game where you (especially in the end-game) would have to spend hours trying to get that one perfect piece of gear. But the grinding works in a way that gives even the casual gamer progress by just playing a couple hours every other day.

The gear you collect can be used to fight your way to high rankings in the PvP arena (1v1, 3v3, 5v5). And with high ranking comes great PvP rewards like weapons and armour.

There's also a housing system where you are given a plot of land and are free to decorate this to your liking. You can farm and hire servants that will give you progress in professions.

Is it Pay to Win? - The only things that can be looked upon as slightly pay to win is the "boosting" potions from the in-game market where you can get 50% faster experience and an increased amount of gold picked up. These potions can easily be purchased with in-game currency though - which are obtained by doing daily achievements and quests. Besides this the in-game market only offers cosmetic items.

Anything else you should know? - There's a big issue at the early access-release of the game with lag spikes. Although I recommend this game, I'd also recommend waiting a couple days or even weeks for the lag to be fixed.

I recommend this game to any fan of the ARPG and Hack and Slash genres. It has great potential, and it's rare to see a game like this that's not pay to win.

Great potential with fun gameplay and sweet music, but there's basiclly nothing more than 10 minutes of gameplay right now. They need to add story mode and more houses, cars, weapons, citizens and a much larger area before it's worth the price.

I normally don't like sci-fi games but this one got me hooked! Travel into space in an addictive sandbox universe and make your own spaceship, fortifications and dig through the planets with terraforming. There's close to no bugs, but there's (as of now) a lack of conent in the end-game. There's a limited amount of planets you can visit, but in the future of the alpha this will change drastically.

Reign of Kings is gem among tons of terrible early access games. There's been a long while since last time I played a game for 8 hours straight, but this game finally made it happen again.

The game could be described as a mix between Life Is Feudal and Rust. It's a bit more casual than LiF, and brings the good parts of both games to the table, while adding cool mechanisms like ruling the kingdom, capturing people and even being able to torture them. There's also a huge amount of crafting recipes available to be in such a early state. You have much freedom in the way you create buildings, and there's several addon's and materials to be added - so creating a house will never be the same twice.

The negatives are few, but some people seem to experience low FPS in areas with alot of constructions. There are also some annoying server crashes/freezes each 2-3 hours'ish, and sometimes they might make your inventory disappear. These are issues that I'm sure will be fixed.

I'd recommend this game to anyone searching to a sandbox game with heavy focus on PvP.

Life Is Feudal is a hardcore sandbox MMO('ish) game with great potential. You'll be able to build villages, farms, castles, craft armor and weapons. And not to mention - kill people with those crafted weapons. There's an arsenal of weapons waiting to be crafted, both ranged and melee, but not all of them are implemented yet.

The game is still in alpha but you can already get a feeling of what the released game will become. It can sort of be described as a mix between Wurm Online in gameplay, and Rust with it's graphics. There's a couple crucial bugs at this point (for example the server browser freeze) and the servers go down alot, but once you get on a server and start playing there's hardly any bugs bothering you - which is pretty impressive for a alpha build these days.

One thing that's important to mention though, is that this is not really a singleplayer/solo game, you would want to gather your friends or join someone else in-game when you set out to build those small, big and gigantic settlements. And you and your friends will need alot of patience in the process of building your land and skills. The world is available for you to shape and form as you like, but like the real world it's going to take lots of time to shape it.

I would definetly recommend buying the game for the sandbox fans out there, but there's no rush in doing so. I would guess the most crucial bugs are getting fixed pretty soon though, and when they do Life Is Feudal will bring you tons of hours of fun even in it's alpha stage.
