So its a population control game, so every time you need another squad of soldiers, you need to have 4 people sitting around unemployed. Survivors wander around and they either attack you, join you, or run away from you. Your citizens can have kids, which grow pretty fast, I think a full year (12 days) gets them to where they can have jobs, this is helped by having a school set up. The most I have had so far is around 300 people, which took around 80 in game years. I am well on my way to more, but the swarms of zombies hitting me are slowing me down a lot

Okay..... Edinburgh might have been a mistake..... apparently the scots really like to turn zombie. I've never seen hordes this big in game before.

Changed over to Edinburgh to build and it forced me to use the Castle.... Oh No! whatever will I do with massive stone walls and insanely huge buildings to use as shelter and warehouses... Honestly I am loving this game, let me know if you all have places you want me to check out

I forgot to say that those pics are at night, I need to get some day time pics, but thats why they are so dark and washed out.

I've had this one on my backlog for a while now, and I have no idea why I haven't played it before now, because DAMN Okay, so its a Zombie apocalypse/ City Builder type game. It takes Google Maps data to create your play area..... I started a map, with my house as the HQ, and it has been amazing so far. You can create any location in the world. The game uses the map data to sort out how difficult of a time you will have. Cities obviously are the worst locations. The maps are not perfect, in that it assumes the sizes of the houses based off of google footprint. So in my case it has my house slightly smaller than it actually is, because the google map image isn't current. (See the screenshots below) You can dismantle houses for resources, and you find settlers all over the place. There is a story, that I won't spoil because I think I am about a third of the way through it, I could be wrong there though. I am way to busy farming resources to build a fortress to worry about other survivors in DC and Baltimore. Two gripes people have about the game: Zombies can cross any body of water, so can your squads. The Dev's did this for pathing reasons, as the game is still in Early Access, and I guess trying to differentiate water on a google map is hard when importing data. IDK, it doesn't' phase me, I just build more walls Radio transmissions are frequent, and can't be ignored. You have to choose an option, but luckily it does pause the game for you. That being said if you don't choose an option quickly the npc's will get grumpy. So the screenshots I am attaching are of my play area. The "Star" is my house, the HQ, the rest are shelters, and warehouses I am setting up, along with some build orders, etc. I zoomed really far out for these so you could see the street names and more of the play area.

I honestly wonder if this is the first step towards cancelling it. Bungie/ Sony sunk a lot of money into it, but if the artists of the stolen assets decide to sue, it might not matter

Thats Bedrock, right?

Like RTS games that are reminiscent of C&C, Dune 2? Then go grab the demo for it It has a tutorial mission, and then a midpoint mission that kicked my butt. I was able to get one of the seeds destroyed before I ran out of money for new units. This game is HELLA hard it feels like Also the twist on classic RTS must be experienced (Fair warning, aim for the large trunks) Calyx on Steam STORE.STEAMPOWERED.COM A strategy game with a new kind of enemy, Calyx puts you in charge of a space mining outpost, locked in battle with an overwhelming alien...

Visually the game is one of the best, I just couldn't get into the "story", or the gameplay loop

So I picked this game up about a year ago, and it's somewhat usurped Minecraft as my go to game when bored at work. The basic premise is you are a convicted criminal thats exiled to a planet and you need to terraform it in order to survive. You have to gather ore's in order to build drills, shelters, generators, food growers, etc... Starting off you need to increase pressure, heat, and oxygen. This will in turn melt the ice that is everywhere and start the water cycle, from there you gather materials to start getting moss and grass to grow and spread. From there Tree's, eventually you hit insects and then animals. The thing that I love about the game is that it runs in the background, and based on how many of each type of machine you have, you get a real time countdown to when the next planetary phase unlocks. The more machines the faster it is, the less machines, the slower. So I can fire it up, sit in my shelter, and work, but the game just runs along happily, and as long as I have food, water, and oxygen in my pack my convict jsut hangs out. It was made by a small indie dev team, and it shows with some weird clipping when you get close to map edges, but other than that, its one of the best games I have played in the last year. Latest update Trailer Release Trailer Its 23.99$ right now on steam, and honestly if any of you need a fun PC game, and like to build things, this will be your jam.

Yea, it seems to have really positive reviews, Its going to be a few weeks before I grab it though. I will let you know when I do.

Sinners - Amazing Accountant 2 - not as good as the first, but still fun A few old movies, my son and I have started going over what he would consider classics Silent Running Slaughterhouse Five Fight Club Forbidden Planet Dark Star Colossus the Forbin Project Journey to the Far Side of the Sun Life Force

~Looks at my Switch~ ~Looks at my Steam Deck~ ~Looks at my Tablet~ ~Looks at my Laptop~ Yep, I am happy for this LOL Now if PS would bring back the Vita, I would be set

I picked this up last weekend, and WOW is it good. The storytelling is actually really solid, and seriously creative. I need to do a deep dive on Creole mythology and cryptids. I don't want to give anything away, so this review will be short. The color and animation in the game turned me off at first, but it soon grew on me, the controls are really tight, but tend to loosen the faster you move. Which is a good thing as there are a lot of wall running sections, and running away from larger enemies and spirits. The enemies are creative but repetitive. Its okay for the most part because it makes sense that they would be. The main story, and the side stories were great, and really sad in most parts, which is also the point. All that said, the game was short, it took me about 10 hours to beat. That being said I think the $30 - $40 price tag works well for it. If they tried to sell it for $60+ it wouldn't be worth it at all. Or just get gamepass and play it for free

Bought this last week, still haven't touched it yet. I also grabbed South of Midnight, and Metal Slug Tactics
