Fun F2P
Very cluttered main menu and a lot of info on every screen (screen is very 'busy').

It reminds me of the earlier 'hero shooters', before Overwatch and the likes.
Pacing is good: not so fast you have to be twitchy, but not so slow that it gets tedious either.

Varied maps and the modifier cards chosen between each round are a nice twist on the genre.

This was nice while it lasted.
Had so much fun playing this.

It's dead now, though.

Tower defense - with depth

Rock & Stone!

Mix of casual driving, gathering resources, inventory management, improving your vehicle, and learning how to interact with the world. Great idea, well executed.

Atmosphere is mysterious and scary as well as relaxing and cozy.

The way you interact with the world is very 'hands on'; you interact with many objects directly instead of through a menu.

There are a bunch of resources and you are constantly managing your inventory, but this is not too limiting or overwhelming early on and inventory space can be expanded by researching the tech tree.

Definitely recommended.

I love the game, but lost my save file.

If the game crashes or your computer shuts down, your saved game is no longer valid and a new game starts (n = 1). I haven't figured out how to get my save back, so I guess I'll start a new game.

Let's hope n = 1 doesn't increase.

Edit: Although it seems there is a possible fix, this issue should be fixable. I'll change my review to positive and hope there is no need to test the proposed solution :)

One more proof that the fun is in the game, not the graphics.

Good casual fun.

Always wanted to play this but it wasn't available on pc back then.
The controls are somewhat funky but that's not a big deal for this type of game.

Nice to know: I was cleaning out my steam cards from my inventory and apparently these cards sell for a whole lot higher than most games. Like tens of cents instead of the regular 0,03-0,06 range.

Still early access, but promising Banished-style city builder with decent graphics. Not too shallow, and many bugs from earlier versions have been fixed. Random map generator makes interesting maps and is great for replayability.

Great community engagement.

Enjoyable gameplay.

Many big explosions.

Edit: Sony nearly killed the game with their greed. Community working together by putting negative reviews on the game as requested by the developers themselves so that they would have bargaining power. Sony decided to come back on their decision to boost 'active PSN member' numbers artificially by making PSN accounts mandatory. Let's hope those Helldivers in countries in which the game got delisted as there is no PSN available there, will also be able to get back to spreading managed democracy throughout the galaxy.
