Also the steam page shows big bases with tons of fortifications and stuff that you won't actually build in game, because getting the resources takes forever.

Oh, and are you zoomed right in? No? Then good luck seeing the tiny bits of UI that're floating around in the map view instead of being more accessible.

Sure, maybe I don't know how to make a good game, but I've certainly seen a whole bunch of ways to make bad ones.

The escape button is for escaping. If you remove this function, I want to punch you in the dick.
If you do not have a dick, one may be provided for you.
Or not.
We'll see.

AdventureBarStory!
In which you go beat up monsters for ingredients so you can serve food and drink at your family bar, while a dickhead tries to bully you into selling it to him because he likes the location.
Needs some improvements made like not flashing the screen bright white when poisoned, and not nearly so much grinding.
Followed for now.

(Been a while since I've had one good enough to mention, eh?)

Game: Wounds on a vital area are lethal, and the older the wound is, the more likely it is to be the cause of death.
Me: Okay, so this wound here is on a vital area, and it's by far the oldest wound, so I'll choose this one as the cause of death.
Game: Wrong.

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown!
Command the USS Voyager right from the first episode, and see if your "They should've just..." moments works out.
There's a couple of bits of clunk, but it plays pretty well.
Wishlisted it, though I've no idea what the price is gonna be because they've decided not to release that info just yet due to regional pricing or something.

Welcome to Elderfield!
A little bit Stardew Valley, a little bit RPGmaker, a little bit why is that person's face a tentacle?
In theory you might not have to farm, but you probably will. There's also mining, turn based battles, cooking/crafting, the occasional bug, and dice animations and vignettes that I'd like sped up so I'm not just sat staring at the screen while I wait. Same for crafting multiple items at a time, gotta wait for each one.
Followed, I guess

The premise: A new Caesar-like, but Aztec.
Why I yote it sunward: They chose colours that blend together too well with their surroundings when placing things or viewing overlays.
I'm not going to try and squint to differentiate a tiny tile of green from a tiny tile of slightly different green.

And also: TINY TEXT.
Sure, there's a UI scaling setting, and even a separate scaling setting for the small text, but kick STOP kick DOING kick TINY kick TEXT kick
Stop making people try to focus their vision down to a fucking needle point to try and read important information! I will kill you!

Oh look we're going to Mars, better make references to a certain dickhead we're sick of fuckin' hearing about, no matter how openly shitty he becomes.

Okay so the old scifi series are getting some love.
Battlestar Galactica: Scattered Hopes/
Command a fleet based around a gunstar as you try to reach the Galactica. Spoiler: You're gonna die. A lot.
Fortunately there's that meta-progression thing that... rogue-likes, which are nothing like Rogue, have.
Also there's a lot of problems when managing people on a fleet. People are the worst part of any crowd.

It's just a basic clicker with a skin on. It's not even balanced.

Starting to wonder if that genre of game is capable of being fun.

Open game, "WISHLIST NOW!", get past that to the main menu "WISHLIST", while playing the game "WISHLIST", try to quit the game "REMEMBER TO WISHLIST" dude, fuck off.

"This game contains flashing lights that people with epilepsy may find uncomfortable."

Q: Does the game need flashing lights that may induce seizures?

A: No, it doesn't.

Get rid of them, and go fuck yourself for trying to reduce it down to "may find uncomfortable".

Game released on PC, no mention of controller required, open it up, "Press Start". Turns out the enter key works, but once in the game there's no clue of what to do, no info on the controls, and I'm just not interested in pressing every individual key on the keyboard to try and decipher the mystery.

Deep Corp!
Take over as governor of a state that's been ransacked by your predecessor, get the mines running, the factories producing, and horses and carts transporting goods to towns so they can grow and will stop complaining, because if your rep hits 0%, you lose :(
It's a bit hand holdy at the start, but not enough to be a problem, and so much better than so many of the other demos I've tried recently. I would like it if mine shafts built a little faster.

I'd also like it if I could see how many miners I had assigned to each resource easily, like on a window displaying a list, rather than having to go look.

Oh, yeah, wishlisted.
I'm trying to include my action on these, be it pass, follow, wishlist, or buy.

Mining Merchant!
Dig up ore, smelt it by hand, wonder why you need copper to make silver and gold ingots, turn ingots into rings, wonder why there's a potted plant on the smithing station, try to sell the rings out of a former petrol station that looks like it should be condemned.
It's okay, I guess?
Followed to see if it'll improve later.

I swear it's like some people just don't think about what they're doing.
And listen, right: It's okay for your map to be small. You don't need every dirt path to be wide enough to build a house on, especially when you've got a day timer ticking down.

Eeh, not quite.
