This is a very fun wuxia sword-play (mmo)RPG free-to-play. The movement and fights feel great, with few exceptions, and the difficulty adapts well (if a little spiky). So far, I'm really enjoying it, despite being relatively unfamiliar with the subject matter...

Despite being very different themes and combat and ... well ... everything ... there's a lot about this that reminds me of Once Human -- both games are fun, and keeps delivering interesting new cinematics and views, bosses and combat, and they're committed to keeping the finances flowing purely from cosmetics, but there's about 50 different screens you're going to be clicking around in trying to claim all your rewards from "battle pass" and "season" and "event" to "exploration" and "region" etc. and the higher you get, the more complicated (and grindy) it is to keep leveling your equipment appropriately.

It simultaneously shows a lot of polish, and a lot of rough edges from cultural and language barriers that sometimes get in the way of figuring out how to do things...

It's interesting and fun, but the out-of-game rewards and cosmetic shops are overly complicated, and with almost as many currencies as League of Legends ...

Addictive mining game with progression and upgrades and increasingly challenging monsters. Everything I wanted in a casual platformer.

A simple and fun puzzle game with map puzzles that challenge you to build train tracks to optimize profits

One of the all-time greats of solo RPG, this is the sort of game you'll play through repeatedly to find out the consequences of making other choices, and as with the best Bethesda games, it has so many mods available you can dramatically change up the game to add even more replayability.

A fun survival game with a viking theme. I've been enjoying it for a few days now, but I have to say there's a lot that could be done to make it more approachable.

The maps have that procedurally-generated feel, big blocks of cliff you can't climb, where the ramp to get up is always all the way around the opposite side from where you are, leading to long one-way walks to get up, followed by a quick hop to get back down ... and long boat cruises along miles of coast without a landing spot.

Worse yet, the quest system isn't helpful for your development. That first mission will take you a while to get to, because if you go do it right away, you'll just die a lot. Then you'll have a quest board, but the quests will be for people who are all over the world, on different islands (which you may not notice unless you zoom out, because there's no non-map markers for them). You'll build and upgrade things for a couple of levels really easily, and then be stuck needing materials that simply can't be found for miles, and have to consult the wiki to figure out where to find them.

All of that said, it's significantly more interesting than just having a tech tree, and there's support for playing with up to ten of your friends in co-op modes, which would make all of this a lot easier and probably more enjoyable.
