After playing Nomad Survival, I was looking forward to the next game developed. And this one did not disappoint. I love the story and how fast everything scales. It's also one of the few idle games where you have strategy and build diversity.

A game about exploring a ocean planet.

After having played Citizen Sleeper I was so impressed that I wanted to see the other games Jump Over The Age had made. And I'm even more impressed. The way I get immersed in these games with its amazing way op presenting information in a cryptic way without losing any of the important details is very impressive and sparks my imagination. This great UI combined with the excellent story, which is emotionally raised by the great soundtrack, makes this an excellent game. I'm looking forward to playing Citizen Sleeper 2!

A really fun game that has nice twist on the tower defense genre and combines it really well with a kingdom builder.

I bought this game in early access when it had only three maps. Now it expended so much it almost feels overwhelming. It's a good thing the progression in this game is handled so well! I had a lot of fun coming back and experiencing all this new content. The way you can challenge yourself by having more difficultly modifiers is well made. And its not all just enemy's have more health some bring a fun twist like spawning the enemies in random places which makes you think very differently about you kingdom layout.

With the new challenge modes and endless mode there is so many repeatability it's insane this game is so cheap.

Fighting waves and waves of enemy's until you eventually spawn a boss (or multiple)
The loop is fun. Unlocking new characters and spells and then heading in to battle again but now against stronger enemies. For me this was the most fun part. The way the game allows you to have different skill combos or all the same type and still have them synergies is a lot of fun and very well executed.

For me the skill three is to big. At a certain point the levels start to drag and you have to complete a lot of runs to get enough currency to buy the points in the three.

Even though I promised myself I would not buy another early-access game this year. Death Must Die was way to interesting not to play it right now. The combination of Hades, like dialog and upgrade options in combination with the now so familiar horde survival makes for a compelling game to pick up and put down if you have 30 minutes to spare.
I like the gear system although I wish I had more of a choice for what the enemy’s drop. When you max out all your gear it becomes grindy to roll the stats you want which I am not a fan of. I do like the way you acquire new perks for your characters. The way you have to achieve a specific thing, for instance summon 40 minions, gives you another goal each run instead of trying to make it as far as possible.
The art design is also nice. Each year I think pixel art can’t get better but then games such as Death Must Die surprise me. The sound design and music can get a little repetitive though. But that counts for the whole game. Having 5 playable characters makes that less of a problem and I hope that in the future more content gets added that make the runs feel more distinct from one another.

another one of Yoko Taro and his team's great games. A great love letter to the works of Dragon Quest with a unique spin on it.

Creative assembly is really good at her RTS games. Now that they branched off from their historic titles to fantasy the games have become even greater. There is so much variety in units and races. This makes it almost infinitely replayable. Conquering the world with a friend makes the game even more fun. Just make sure you have the game on a SSD otherwise the loading screens might take longer than the battles.
